...baby to term, and offer her information describing the anatomical and physiological characteristics of her unborn child at ''two-week gestational increments.'' Pennsylvania legislators acknowledge that the law was intended to discourage women from an abortion. Writing for the court majority, Blackmun called this requirement ''nothing less than an outright attempt to wedge the Commonwealth's message discouraging abortion into the privacy of the informed-consent dialogue.'' States are not free, he wrote, to use ''the guise of protecting maternal health or potential life, to intimidate women into continuing pregnancies.'' Rejecting Pennsylvania's argument that the regulations were...
...statement that "If you don't like abortion, you should love contraception" was met with enthusiastic applause, as did her support of net neutrality - equal, unrestricted access to the Internet - an issue close to the hearts of the bloggers. Other remarks, however, garnered mixed, if not outright hostile, reactions. One audience member screamed for her to "answer the question" about Democratic action on the FISA bill. She ignored that interruption. Others drew hushes from the crowd...
This balancing act keeps the plan from being an outright bailout for either lenders or borrowers. But it also limits the likely uptake. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has made two estimates--one projects that 500,000 loans would be converted over the three-year life of the program, and the other projects 400,000. If that range proves correct, the plan wouldn't cost taxpayers much; the CBO estimates $729 million to $1.7 billion, depending on the uptake. By contrast, the Defense Department spends about $2 billion a week in Iraq...
...crazy talk, in fact, is mostly theater. U.S. and Iranian flashpoints in Iraq and the Persian Gulf have been quiet recently, as both sides have been careful to avoid a sustained clash that could escalate into outright conflict. And Iran showed no new military capabilities with the tests. At the same time, diplomacy is deadlocked as Iran takes advantage of soaring oil prices to trump U.N sanctions, while the U.S. sticks to its insistence that Iran suspend its uranium enrichment program before Washington will hold negotiations. European efforts to end the impasse have so far served largely as a convenient...
...said. McCain would drop the condition and talk to Iran, Scheunemann seems to be saying, as long as the allies agree. The allies, of course, are dying to be asked, so if McCain wins in November, look for talks with Iran early in his presidency. Likewise Obama, who says outright he'll drop the enrichment condition. In fact, once past the posturing, there seems little substantive difference between the two on talks...
