How to tell a Pro-Abortion Democrat from a Pro-Life Republican Family When a Democrat and a Republican women (let's say Sarah Palin) each find out they are pregnant with a downs-syndrome child and then find out that their 17 year old unmarried daughter is also pregnant. The Republican family rallies around one another and supports each other, but because of their choices they gets scandalized by the liberal news media and mocked and ridiculed by the Hollywood elitist and scorned by the pro-abortion democrats, but inspite of all that, nine months later the Republican family still have their babies. Now we all know what happens to the Democrats unwanted children; no scandal, no one knows, because there are NO BABIES to be found (Read Psalms 139)

who the hell cares about these celebrities anyway. i guess some people are obsessed with them but lord knows why, they havent done jack for me. i dont pay to see movies, nor do i watch the new seasons "all 7 new episodes." those tv stars make way to much money and make way to few episodes. soon reality tv will overtake regular tv. all the women in hollywood, with a few exceptions are anorexic, look how terribly thin they are, how can any guy think they are attractive. i suppose with the lights off it wouldnt matter.
