Sen. Coburn betrays American military

Sen. Tom Coburn is betraying American military forces currently dying and suffering in Iraq and Afghanistan.For some reason, he easily and readily votes to send our brave men and women into harm's way. But if they are lucky enough to come back, they will see no assistance from him. He is personally holding up a bill that would shoulder some of the burden of recovery from profound physical and emotional injuries.
Did he ever serve in a war? In the military? Doesn't he care about these brave sacrifices made every day, every hour while he sits comfortably in D.C. enjoying the privileges won for him by the blood of Americans past?
Apparently not.

Conservatives to control every American uterus?

The most recent health care tempest centers around conservatives who appear to want to control every American woman's uterus. I feel sorry for American women if these idiots get their way.
In case these legislators haven't noticed, ABORTION is legal here in America!!!! It has been for decades. Sometimes it's a matter of life and death for a woman to have access to this always gut-wrenching choice. The way this law is written now, the women most at risk, the poorest, most defensless women, the women without a support system, without family or friends, will be the most devastated - the most adversely affected.
Why is it that American lawmakers don't trust women to make appropriate MORAL choices with their own wombs?
