The Other McCain - Aged have a duty to die? We might as well get ready for a lot of this type of talk.

Abortion rights supporters like to trot out the idea of back alley abortions to scare the masses; well mark my words if a health care program as draconian as what seems to be proposed by the Obama administration is enacted there will be a blcak market on a prohibition era level.
