Positions and Views |
| Legality of Abortion - Roe v. Wade |
Row versus wade? It depends. How deep is the water? If I don't have a canoe, then the question is moot anyway.

| Pro-Life and Pro-Choice |
Yes. I am pro-life and pro-choice. I am pro-life because I oppose war, genocide, and militarism in general. I support universal health care and environmental responsibility. I am pro-choice on the abortion issue. I think it's absurd that people who are pro-gun, pro-war, pro-genocide, pro-military, pro-death penalty, anti-environment, and opposed to national health insurance call themselves pro-life because they oppose abortion.

This should not be a public policy issue.

| Life Beginning at Conception |
Life is continuous. Eggs and sperm are alive. So are embryos. None of them have a "right to life." Life forms must have an independent existence in order to have a "right to life." Eggs, sperms, and embryos only exist within the host's body. The anti-abortion position is silly. Let's get past this nonsense and focus on things that are truly important.

| Human Cloning |
"I Think I'm A Clone Now"
by Weird Al Yankovic
Isn't it strange
Feels like I'm lookin' in the mirror
What would people say
If only they knew that I was
Part of some geneticist's plan (plan-plan-plan)
Born to be a carbon copy man (man-man-man)
There in a petri dish late one night
They took a donor's body cell and fertilized a human egg and so I say
I think I'm a clone now
There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
Look at the way
We go out walking close together
I guess you could say
I'm really beside myself
I still remember how it began (gan-gan-gan)
They produced a carbon copy man (man-man-man)
Born in a science lab late one night
Without a mother or a father, just a test tube and a womb with a view
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
And I can stay at home while I'm out of town
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
'Cause every pair of genes is a hand-me-down
Signing autographs for my fans
Come and meet the carbon copy man
Livin' in stereo, it's all right
Well I can be my own best friend and I can send myself for pizza so I say
I think I'm a clone now
Another one of me's always hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
I've been on Oprah Winfrey - I'm world renowned
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
And every pair of genes is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
That's my genetic twin always hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now (a clone now)
