    But then the people who work in the health care system will have less money to spend....

    No, you can effect (verb) some action.

    Instead of enforcing "net neutrality", the government ought to be encouraging meaningful competition.

    It might be an issue for sellers of audio books, but is it a legal issue?

    Maybe they should sue schools of education for training their teachers-in-training to read out loud in front of a class of 3rd graders? Text-to-speech conversion right? And that might have an impact on the sales of buggy-whips... er, audio books, right?

    Well, 12.9% (23 out of 178) of the republicans voted YES
    while only a measly 3.9% (10 out of 254) of the Democrats voted NO.

    Sure seems like the Dems were a bit more partisan than the Reps.

    Fetuses don't exist?
    Why perform abortions, then?

    Or are you referring specifically to the "human life" that "doesn't exist" in fetuses.
    But how do you know it doesn't exist?
    You yourself wrote that we've got no basis for deciding when a human life starts.

    Even so, I'm pretty sure human fetuses are in the "living human" category, scientifically speaking.
