Our Self: Um blogue desalinhado, desconforme, herético e heterodoxo. Em suma, fora do baralho e (im)pertinente.

Pensamento em curso: «Em Portugal, a liberdade é muito difícil, sobretudo porque não temos liberais. Temos libertinos, demagogos ou ultramontanos de todas as cores, mas pessoas que compreendam a dimensão profunda da liberdade já reparei que há muito poucas.» (António Alçada Baptista, em carta a Marcelo Caetano)

LOG BOOK: John Two Faces Kerry


Our Bodies Ourselves
Hundreds of thousands of protesters massed on the National Mall Sunday to demonstrate support for abortion rights and opposition to Bush administration policies on international family planning. Marchers from nearly 60 countries joined women from across the country, supported by Hilary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. Counter demonstrators lined the march route, believing God is on their side, and knowing for sure the Prez is behind them: At an anti-abortion march in January he told them overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling is "a noble cause."
Meanwhile in Boston, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who supports a woman's right to choose, took communion from a Catholic priest, the day after the Vatican said politicians who support abortion rights should be denied the Eucharist.
