of Roe vs. Wade Press Conference
"It has been 31 years since that day of infamy, Jan. 22, 1973, when our Supreme Court unleashed the floodgates of hell and murder upon this nation.

NO MORE, will we wait for the President, the Congress, the Supreme Court, or the Republican Party to save the lives of unborn children.

Premeditating Murderers Hold Panel Discussion
Pitt News, PA -- Laura Horowitz is a death-scort. "These are our rights, folks. Fetuses don't have rights; we have rights, and we need to stand up and demand them," Horowitz said.

First Degree Murder: Premeditated
[A]lthough it varies from state to state, it is generally a killing which is deliberate and premeditated (planned, after lying in wait, by poison or as part of a scheme), in conjunction with felonies such as rape, burglary, arson, or involving multiple deaths, the killing of certain types of people (such as a child, a police officer, a prison guard, a fellow prisoner), or certain weapons, particularly a gun. The specific criteria for first degree murder, are established by statute in each state and by the U.S. Code in federal prosecutions. It is distinguished from second degree murder in which premeditation is usually absent, and from manslaughter, which lacks premeditation and suggests that at most there was intent to harm rather than to kill.

On this date:

In 1973, former President Lyndon Johnson died at age 64.

Ten years ago: "Schindler's List," Steven Spielberg's drama about the Holocaust, won Golden Globes for best dramatic picture and best director. Actor Telly Savalas died in Universal City, Calif., a day after turning 70.

Five years ago: Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.V., abruptly called for dismissal of charges against President Clinton to "end this sad and sorry time for our country." President Clinton called for spending $2.8 billion to protect the nation from cyberterrorism and chemical and germ warfare. Pope John Paul II arrived in Mexico on his first visit in 20 years.

One year ago: Countering blunt talk of war by the Bush administration, France and Germany defiantly stated they were committed to a peaceful solution to the Iraq crisis. Opponents and supporters of abortion rights rallied on the 30th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling.
