She also sends extremely helpful links if you send her a letter on the subject. And not just to her content, either.

Because she deals with the issue head on and no one else does. As silly as it sounds, she's been a lifesaver for me on this issue.

This. Without fail.

That provision is going to create a huge problem with the so-called "partial birth abortion" ban. The only way to do a late-term abortion now is to kill the fetus while it is still in the womb. Legislating medical protocols is ridiculous.

Tilman Fertitta holds himself out as a "self-made" man. Interesting considering that his father's large quantity of money allegedly came from men who are "made."
