Calling his wife a c*nt would appear to any reasonable person to show disrespect, especially if its done in public. In private each couple has their own rules but I would never call my wife that, regardless. Even if he didn't mean anything by it, making such public statements shows lack of judgement. Most people who said that in the workplace would risk being fired for sexual discrimination - a presidential candidate should know better. Regarding abortion, I thnk it is unfortunate that anyone still feels that abortion is a good option and would ever want to make such a "choice". By the time a woman finds out that she is pregnant, it is too late to talk about choice. We all know that many choices lead up to preganancy. I would hope that rather than abortion, a woman facing such a decision would chose adoption. Even so, it is amazing that the life of an unborn child is precious to Mark Noonan but innocent children in Iraq are just collateral damage. What is clear is that the 'culture of life" too many times embraces death as long as it doesn't have an effect on people they can see. In a lot of ways dropping bombs that kill innocent people is a lot like abortion. Very few people could actually kill if they could see or know the innocents they kill. Hopefully the day will come when abortion is no longer practiced. Hopefully the day will come when war is no longer necessary or at least is used as only the last option. Being against abortion does not make John McCain sexist.

Can't you just answer the question closer to the point. Choose life or death that is the question. We as Christians believe that God creates life in the womb. yes it is the sperm and egg and then it becomes a human being in process of formation. It is terribly grisly to destroy human life in what ever stage it is. Charles whats this have to do with the topic? Can’t you just answer the question closer to the point.

Calls the rich girl the "C" word in front of reports. Rich girl gets addicted to pain killers. Why is she in so much pain? How has he been treating her? Makes a joke about how much a woman enjoyed being raped by a gorilla. I don't know. I need more evidence. Let me see:
