Massaoui, arrested on Aug 20, 2001, was charged as an accessory in the events of 9/11 because he knew of the plot and did nothing to alert the authorities so that they might have prevented the attack.
George W. Bush, given the PDB of Aug 6, 2001 titled "Bin Laden determined to strike the US" knew of the plot and did nothing to alert the appropriate security personnel so that they might have prevented the attack of 9/11.
George W. Bush possessed this knowledge, and was in a position to do something with it on Aug 6, 2001, a full 13 days before Massaoui was arrested.
Explain to me again why Massaoui is on trial and Bush is not.
South Dakota passed into law an anti-abortion law that bans all abortions, out of an alleged reverence for the life of the fetus, save when one is required to spare the life of the mother.
Does this mean that South Dakota values the life of the mother over the life of the fetus? If so then the law is a sham and is more about limiting what a woman may or may not do in the event she finds herself in the first trimester of an unwanted pregnancy.
The doctor or other medical personnel performing an abortion can be charged with a felony. Given the fact that there are few examples of a doctor forcing a pregnant woman to have an abortion, one can presume that said doctor would not be doing the procedure were it not for the woman requesting it. If the doctor can be charged with a felony does the law also address the fact that the woman is an accessory and therefore also subject to a felony charge? If not then the law is a sham and designed only to limit the choices that are a woman's right regarding the outcome of unwanted pregnancies.
