    That is not what was said. Don't twist this to fit your agenda. I just said it was the man's responsibility to get a third in there and that shouldn't be too difficult. I said nothing about time of day either. And I never said anything was an absolute either. You can always record a conversation if you're that worried. Not everyone is going to be that worried either.

    And I see it from your side. You can't let your anxiety create problems for others.

    This is not an all or nothing situation. Common sense prevails as usual.

    What is "unsafe" should a woman take a morning after pill later on in the pregnancy.

    Regardless if a woman does not catch it right away she can take an abortion pill for up to 10 weeks or more.

    The Physician only needs to ask the woman to figure this out. In cases of "emergency" contraception (morn after pill) there has obviously been some emergency - as in a condom breaking.

    If this is not the case you ask the woman when her last menstrual period was - which tells you how far along she is and you go from there.

    It is absurd nonsense to made a woman who is in an emergency situation go a bunch of BS that has no purpose other than to make it more difficult to have an abortion.

    1)What other first world nation with the morn after pill does this
    2)What were problems experienced due to not doing MVP ?

    It's just both common sense considering politics and also thoughtful to his wife. A woman doesn't need to go to dinner alone with a man to get anything done.

    We won't quibble about your 'one percent' , but there were a some boos ( hard to tell who was booing whom). a lot of students did absolutely nothing but turn their heads and watch.



    Pretty routine result to one of these protests, if you ask me, and we went 9 pages critiqueing the episode. No harm to any of this.

    No, he's a conservative. He wants to protect and preserve the principles the country was founded on. He is not a radical. He doesn't want to change anything. He wants to keep what we had (have).

    Pence hates the principles on which the country was founded on - how many examples would you like ?

    There's no twisting I'm calling it the way I see it... double standards, you just don't like hearing what I'm saying. As for the time of day unfortunately people eat at certain times of day and Pence did say he won't eat with a woman if his wife isn't there to wipe his chin.

    Now as much as I like arguing with you it's Monday morning and I have an 12 pm meeting with... shock horror.... A MAN, the guy must be dumb or very brave because tomorrow his life will over. I will be accusing him of all sorts of things, including using the wrong cutlery, slurping his wine and sticking his serviette into his collar.

    I will give him your condolences.

    The idea that Pence supports electro shock therapy for gays is a complete fabrication used as an excuse for people acting like moronic mindless fools like these 'students'..........who were completely disrespectful of the Vice President, as well as their fellow graduates and their guests.

    No, your the one trash talking those who did. Political statements are as American as it gets.they don't require your approval.

    Not surprised at a very small number. Some of the students interviewed stated that they had not even heard about the possibility of a protest.
    Others simply expressed that they were turned off by the stupidity of those who were suckered into going along with the walk out.
    As one person put it, there was pressure from outside the school, but very little peer pressure that they could see.

    It turns out that the invitation did not do any harm. The 'walk-out' did not do any harm. The students booing did not do any harm and the Pence speech did not do any harm. Free speech lives on. A right to protest lives on, and Notre Dame university and its students, managed to survive the minefield of the 2017 commencement speech relatively unscathed.

    No villains, no victims. Isn't America great!

    Frankly Pence sold his soul to become VP. He doesn't deserve respect. But I wouldn't have gotten up because that takes too much effort.

    Oh spare us your phony outrage. You want links to all the ass kissing speeches Obama gave praising that alcoholic scum,Teddy Kennedy, who left Mary Jo in a submerged car to drown without seeking help. Well, you certainly don't have any standards to crow about.

    There's nothing American about ditching old fashioned American values. Likewise using ignorant youth as pawns in doing so. And there's nothing American, special, or courageous, about burning down that which took centuries of courage and sacrifice to build.

    Most of them are going home to their parents' basements anyway.

    Pence has earned more respect for his undaunted principles than Pres. Mommy pants will ever see.

    Obama was a DUPE to our enemies and the rest of the world KNOWS IT.

    What are old fashioned American values, and how did these kids ditch them?
    What got burned down that took centuries to build?
