"She said she had numerous stories from people"
Wow, *stories*, from *people*. Now there's some ironclad anecdotal evidence from an unbiased source. I don't need any more convincing. (sarcasm there folks).
These are the same irresponsible people (pro-illegal groups and most of the media) who were behind the SB1070 hysteria. You know, the ones that said you'd need your passport to drive thru Arizona with brown skin. Hasn't happened. Can we get a correction folks? I didn't think so.

The Democrats are really stooping low on this one.

Re: “[UPDATE] Power Outages in Downtown Tucson”
They're gonna start callin' Tucson "The Circuit Breaker."
As a city, we are so unprepared for the calamities coming. Really sad, it's not as if we weren't warned.
Re: “AZ Illustrated Politics: Brewer's Power Play, Rape & Pregnancy, Offensive Tweets & More!”
Quote: "agreed that Congressman Trent Franks made some dumb remarks about abortion and rape; blasted the racist and anti-gay tweets coming from the teenaged son of Sen. Jeff Flake."
Some dumb remarks..eh? Not that most republicans actually disagree with Franks or Jeff Flake's son, it was just dumb they came out and said them. I'm betting a good 60-75% of all republicans agree with both of them.
Re: “Federal Judge Adopts TUSD Deseg Budget and Special Master Recommendations”
And, what does all this mean? More of the same? Improvements? How is it defined when it is stated, we require from the participants more than just shouting from the sidelines? Is it expected that "past behavior is indicative of future behavior?" as Doctor Phil so often states?'
Studies of desegregation back east which have run their course over the past 40 years, to the best of my knowledge, show that after a ka-zillion dollars spent, civil unrest, massive population re-settlements, little has been accomplished and courts have abandoned the concept of forced bussing for other solutions.
While I have no " horse in this race " and have not followed the public discussion that closely, I wonder if any of this national discussion has impacted the local legal squabble at all.

The exact number of exclamation points and question marks used may be of great significance. Maybe it's a coded message to aliens.
Re: “Immigration Reform Reax: "Congress Is About To Change America in a More Profound, Permanent Way Right Under Your Noses"”
Well, it may be more than months. But, continuing, and in fact increasing, the unprecedented flood of immigration that we've been dealing with the last 30 years will have profound effects on the country. If nothing else, it's going to get a lot more crowded.
Re: “AZ Democratic Party Ties McSally to Rep. Franks' Comments on Rape and Abortion”
Here's to the women who's contraception has never failed! Here's to the girls who made it to adulthood without experiencing sexual abuse and/or incest! Here's to the women who have never been raped! Here's to the women that have never been coerced or sabotaged into pregnancy! Let me applaud the one or two of you.
Odds are even Martha McSally didn't beat the shitty statistics of what it means to be female in this society.

Re: “Defending Congressman Trent Franks' Comments About Rape and Pregnancy”
@ Corduval
You are correct. The Weekly writer, Mr. Nintzel, contributed approximately four sentences of original writing to accompany the multiple quoted paragraphs from other sources.
So I suppose that means I should have ignored this gem of an "article" from a supposedly progressive publication that states in the TITLE(which I saw on Twitter because I follow The Weekly and have read it for more than a decade) "Defending Trent Franks' Comments..."
I wish I could interpret the title as tongue in cheek. Unfortunately, the writer does not actually write enough for me to get a good grasp on the article's actual views/biases so I do have to infer a lot from the title.
Yes gentlemen, let's debate the semantics of rate vs. incidence. Because that's of real importance when you are discussing real life and real forced birth situations.
I guess the main question always has been and always will be: "Are women people? Do women have the same right as people do to bodily autonomy and privacy?"
I don't care if a rape victim or incest victim or ANY woman vacillates back and forth(because such decisions are not always easy and can be full of pain especially because of fear of social stigma) until the 39th week of a 40 week pregnancy. It is a safe medical procedure that has benefits/risks that are best decided by the patient and the physician in a bullshit-regulation free environment.

Re: “Hispanics Leading Minority Growth in AZ”
This article is just more propaganda for those here illegally. Republicans don't have an issue with Hispanics, but do have an issue with those who choose to break our laws, nor are Republicans and those who are against illegal activity hostile toward Hispanics. Lets get down to facts instead of lies coming from the Democrats and their supporters. The issue today is the illegal immigration of millions, which most are of Hispanic origin. Most American citizens are against people just hopping over our borders, over staying their visa, providing fake ID, stealing other American's social security card numbers and making themselves at home at our expense. Democrats = lawlessness in my book. What one supports is clearly an indication of values or lack of them. It appears more propaganda is being vomited up by Democrats and their followers.
