Thumbs up/down

Thumbs Up

• Thumbs up to Wal Mart for removing some of the soft porn magazines from their stores. Whether it is convictional or savvy marketing, Wal Mart is responding appropriately to broadly-accepted community standards.

?Thumbs up to Senator Mike DeWine of Ohio and other sponsors of “Laci and Conner’s Bill” in the U.S Congress. Named for Laci Peterson and her unborn child who were murdered in California, this bill would recognize a separate identity for an unborn child harmed in the commission of a crime. Abortion advocates are shrilly denouncing the bill for recognizing what all pregnant women already know, somebody is alive in there. They’re right to be alarmed. This is a step (small) toward righteousness in U.S. law.
