NY Gun Laws & the Granny
She looked like the perfect victim. Last Fri day, 56-year-old Margaret Johnson was leaving her building in her wheelchair. Ex cept for her small dog, she was alone and didn’t see the criminal attack her from behind. Having suffered bruises to her neck and arm, a friend of Johnson’s said, “She was scared for her life. She’s devastated.” But this attack ended differently than most crimes in New York City. As her attacker grabbed her “violently” and “choked” her, Johnson pulled out a handgun and shot once, hitting the criminal in the elbow. Johnson was fortunate that she was able to defend herself.

Michigan Bill Would Require Cervical Cancer Vaccine for Girls
Michigan State Senator Beverly Hammerstrom, a Republican, has introduced a bill requiring all girls entering the sixth grade to receive a vaccination that protects against cervical cancer. Under the bill, Michigan would become the first state in the nation to require the vaccine for school entry. Since the virus that causes cervical cancer can be sexually transmitted, some parents say giving it to young girls presupposes that they will engage in premarital sex — and may even encourage such behavior.
()() I’m against mandatory vaccinations in general and this vaccination in particular. It doesn’t have a proven track record like the chicken pox vaccination. It’s almost impossible to prove that it’s working to protect the general population.
Singer: OK to kill babies after they’re born
An internationally known Princeton “bioethicist” and animal-rights activist says he’d kill disabled babies if it were in the “best interests” of the family, because he sees no distinction in the child’s life whether it is born or not, and the world already allows abortion. The comments come from Peter Singer, a controversial bioethics professor, who responded to a series of questions in the UK Independent this week.
()() I wonder how many pro-choice people would agree with this so-called ethicist? Or do they think he hurts their cause to keep abortion “safe and legal?”
