¶ … Nobel Prize winner was born on today's date? What was his field? And what was his political belief system or affiliation?
George de Hevesy was born on August 1, 1885 and received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1943. He was known for his work on "the use of isotopes as tracers in the study of chemical processes" and "studied, amongst other things, the effect of X-rays on the formation of nucleic acid in tumours and in normal organs, and iron transport in healthy and cancerous organisms" (George de Hevesy, 1943, Nobel Prize). De Hevesy's political affiliation is not noted by the Nobel Prize Committee.

Republican politics became more and more associated with an evangelical social agenda, advocacy of a moral and military war against the Soviet Union (manifested in a defense build-up and increased military spending) and a reduction in government spending on social programs. Reagan, once considered radically conservative by the majority of the nation, became to be regarded as more mainstream in the wake of the perceptions of a weakened American world presence under the leadership of President Jimmy Carter. The rise of Republicanism ultimately created a more polarized America but also a more cohesive Republican Party.

Ironically, Romney's greatest achievement as governor -- extending healthcare coverage to every citizen of the state -- is something…

The pro-life arguments state that a fetus is in fact a real-life person in the making. Is true there's no supporting scientific evidence for the beginning of personhood, but what if an unborn child has a soul and can actually feel pain? Isn't then artificial abortion a crime? Just because we are not sure, we should take the most radical solution that we can and are allowed to by
