An armed and trained teacher?

An armed guard at the the entrance door checking who goes in?

Or do the liberal thing and ban guns, knives, machetes, axes, hammers, ball bats, rocks, gasoline, razors, ice picks, sharpened pencils, hat pins, forks, shovels, picks, sharp sticks, garden tools, lawnmower blades, lengths of metal, etc.

If more sane people were armed, the crazy people would get fewer shots off. LIKE if you stand with Illinois - the ban on handguns was struck down yesterday!!

The guy who killed his kid in the back seat of his car only needed one shot.   The guy who shot his son in the back of the head while hunting only needed one shot.   It only takes one shot to kill someone.

Support better gun regulations.

"I'm waiting for somebody to tell us how to prevent events like what happened in Connecticut.   Any proposals?"

 

Once again, you don't understand.  These kinds of incidents cannot be prevented 100%.  They happen from time to time all over the world, regardless.  In some cultures more than others.

The man attacked the children at the gate of a school in Chenpeng village in Henan province, the Xinhua news agency reported.

                                                                                                                                                    Police arrested a 36-year-old man, identified as villager Min Yingjun, Xinhua said. It did not give further details of the extent of the injuries.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                           There have been a series of attacks on schools and schoolchildren around China in recent years, some by people who have lost their jobs or felt left out of the country's economic boom.

The rash of violence has prompted public calls for more measures to protect the young in a country where many couples only have one child.

In 2010, a man slashed 28 children, two teachers and a security guard in a kindergarten in eastern China."   etc., etc.
 

How many late term abortions are performed in the US each year?

Just Curious

I've tried for months to find a statistic on this from a reputable source but
I can't. The CDC (extremely conveniently for pro-choice people) doesn't keep
track of abortions after 20 weeks gestational age (the point at which the fetus
could possibly survive outside the womb).

After 20 weeks gestation [1]: 10,700

After 24 weeks gestation:  About 5,000

The 24+ weeks figure is less precise because, as you note, the CDC doesn't
gather data at this level of detail.  As a floor, the pro-choice Alan Guttmacher
Institute estimated that the number of dilation & extraction procedures in
2000 was 2,200 [2].  Pro-life groups generally put the number at 5,000, an
estimate that was corroborated by Ron Fitzsimmons, an abortion doctor and
lobbyist who represented 220 abortion clinics [3][4].

The 5,000 figure seems reasonable, given that the Bergen Record reported that
1,500 late term (partial birth) abortions are performed annually in a single New
Jersey clinic [5].
