Zell Miller apologizes for past views on abortion
ATLANTA - Thousands of anti-abortion advocates lined up outside the Capitol on Monday and heard a remorseful former U.S. Sen. Zell Miller apologize for his tardiness in supporting their cause.

"I'm more than one year late here. I'm several years late being here," said Miller, a former governor. "All those years you were out here, and I was in there," he said, pointing at the Gold Dome with a shake of his head.

The demonstrators converge on the state Capitol each year on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the controversial Supreme Court decision that legalized abortions 33 years ago.

Police said between 3,500 and 4,500 activists showed up on the dreary Monday morning, many clutching rain-soaked umbrellas along with their campaign signs.

I'm so glad this worthless pos/traitor is not longer in the senate.

9. After his sympathetic speech, Zell announced he was adopting
three unwanted minority children. It was the least he could do.
Actually the least he could do was stand on a soap box and pander to the anti-abortion crowd. Probably a good opportunity to set up a stand and zell zome books too.

...who advocates less governmental interference in citizens' lives, would feel abortion is a matter of personal choice & not a matter for the government. Just my $.02.

In their giant megachurches singing "Awesome God" and waving their arms in the air back and forth while some young girls and women lay dying from unsafe illegal abortions. I hope that feels real good for them.

Madness.

23. how convenient now that he probably can't get a woman knocked up
Don't you just LOVE when people decide to become anti-choice when they no longer have to worry about making the choice? I know a woman who did that. She had two abortions in her life and now is anti-choice...and post menopausal. Perfect. :eyes:

Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 12:57 PM by CottonBear

Georgia State Capitol
Government Building, Museum/Gallery, Downtown

The capitol, a Renaissance-style edifice, was dedicated on July 4, 1889. The gold leaf on its dome was mined in nearby Dahlonega. Inside, the Georgia Capitol Museum houses exhibits on the history of the capitol building. On the grounds, state historical markers commemorate the 1864 Battle of Atlanta, which destroyed 90% of the city. Statues memorialize a 19th-century Georgia governor and his wife (Joseph and Elizabeth Brown), a Confederate general (John B. Gordon), and a former senator (Richard B. Russell). Former governor and president Jimmy Carter is depicted with his sleeves rolled up, a man at work. www.sos.state.ga.us. OPEN: Museum weekdays 8-5:30; guided tours weekdays at 10, 11, 1, and 2; during legislative session, Jan.-Mar., the first 2 tours operate at 9:30 and 10:30.

Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 02:16 PM by BenDavid
why are you repenting? You think the "just causes" you stood for all these years as a Democrat were in vain? Do you not believe the work you did in JAWJUH in helping the poor will not be written in THE BOOK...Do you not think the rights for all minorities you so screamed and hollered for will not be written in THE BOOK? Do you not think that G-d the Creator of us all can tell the difference between His laws and man made laws?

Zell, I am not as old as you, but let me tell you something.You think you had it rough trying to be a Democrat in JAWJUH promoting civil rights and doing the opposite that others believed were just and right in denying basic freedoms to all people, regardless of color. Well, you should have walked a mile in my shoes over here in Mississppi during the 60's and 70' and be singled out, only because you were Jewish. You going to tell me now that all the things you stood for was wrong because you were a Democrat. I believe you need to search your heart and see if you are doing this for pure selfish reasons, so that you will looked upon in the eyes of the white people of Jawjuh as a good ole boy, while the eyes of blacks, browns, male, female, straight, gay,Christian, Jewish all are shedding tears.....

34. Why Not Apologize For Breathing, While You're At It?
Representing the voters, all the voters, not just the fascists, is nothing to apologize about. Don't like abortion? Don't have one. Simple as that.
