| Newark, N.J. — A New Jersey appeals court has ruled that a woman who dated Nets CEO Brett Yormark can’t sue him after she had an abortion. Reyna Purcell claims Yormark promised to stay in their relationship and take her on vacation if she ended her pregnancy. Purcell claims she wanted to keep the baby. She had an abortion in February 2011. Yormark ended the relationship shortly after. Purcell sued Yormark last year. A judge dismissed the case, saying the promise was not in writing and attorneys were not present. Purcell appealed. The appeals court on Friday upheld the lower

What a "choice" she had!
I can't imagine wanting to stay in a relationship with someone who wanted to kill his own child!

Poor kid got thrown away by two selfish people who deserve each other. I doubt that his behavior will deter other women.

I agree. She had an abortion because this jerk said he'd take her on vacation! I hate to tell her this but if she had had the baby she'd be collecting support for quite a while. I believe this is why so many men support abortion. They can still have all the sex they want and then con their stupid sex partner into having an abortion with sickening promises and a cheesy "I really love you" story line. Here's hoping she will never get pregnant again.

The bizarre part is that, if she had kept her baby, she would have been set for life (or at least for the next 19 years) with very generous child support payments from him (probalby in the 6 or 7 figure range a year since he is the CEO of a major sports franchise).
Now she gets nothing but the knowledge that she slaughtered her own baby while being played for the idiot that she truly is.
I cry for the nation our children are inheriting...

Back in the stone age when I was young there was a saying, "that's the scr***ing you get for the scr***ing you got." Too bad she doesn't have enough self respect to hide her shame instead of flaunting it.

Sad for the baby but you have to laugh at the legal reasoning here.There weren't any attorneys present when they made the deal.But how do we know this woman didn't get pregnant on purpose to get her hooks in this guy? This approach used to be used by women all the time.You know ,men more or less take it for granted that a woman is on birth control so they never bring it up.
She was a total idiot for falling for this but I actually believe her and I actually think there was a breech of promise here. But what should her compensation be?

Yormack and Purcell both appear to be complete sleezeballs. Rest assured that he offered her plenty to settle this case without going to court and the attendant publicity. She sued to shake him down for much more. They deserve each other.

Reminds me of the scene in Animal House where Flounder was complaining about how his frat brothers destroyed his brother's car. They told him...."You [Deleted] up, you trusted us."
They are both scum...but she got what she deserved, nothing.

Some poor soul escaped having idiots for parents. She was suing for compensation but her conscience will get to her soon enough. One hopes.
On the other hand, the judge would have come out as a genius had he awarded her $2000 blood money. The price for her half of the cost on the vacation with some CEO.

Stupid gold-digger. Now she is on record telling the world she is all about getting knocked up and trapping a rich guy. She is going to realize that Karma is a female dog. The bright side for her is that there will always be a rich guy gullible enough to buy her line of horse hockey.

Whatever else happens as a result of the multiple controversies that have engulfed the administration, one thing is clear: President Obama has failed to meet one of the most important goals he set out when he was first elected, which was to demonstrate that activist government could also be smart government. (Snip) As he put it then: “I think what you saw in this election was people saying, ‘Yes, we don’t want some big, bureaucratic, ever-expanding state. On the other hand, we don’t want a state that’s dysfunctional, that doesn’t believe in its mission, that can’t carry out

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

Richmond, Va.—Virginia´s activist conservative attorney general has won the Republican Party´s gubernatorial nomination by acclamation. At the GOP´s statewide convention, thousands of conservatives and tea party followers who dominated the Richmond Coliseum on Saturday roared their unanimous support for Ken Cuccinelli. He was unopposed for the nomination and is generally beloved by the tea party for his aggressive challenges to federal mandates. Cuccinelli is an abortion foe who was the first state attorney general to challenge President Barack Obama´s health care reforms in 2010. He faces former Democratic National Committee chairman and Clinton family protege Terry McAuliffe

Legions of Wimbledon fans may find it hard to credit in the man who once defined bad behaviour on the tennis court, but Jimmy Connors says he ‘turned on the charm’ the first time he chatted up Chris Evert.(Snip)Although she has since bitterly regretted giving up on a ‘good, solid marriage’, what some have described as her mid-life crisis struck in 2006 when she divorced Mill after 18 years. The Evert pendulum had swung back again towards an assertive Alpha Male: she had fallen in love with Australian world golfing champion Greg Norman. He was Mill’s best friend

The House voted to repeal ObamaCare on Thursday for the third time since Republicans took over the chamber in 2011. Only two Democrats sided with Republicans in the party-line 229-195 vote — Jim Matheson (Utah) and Mike McIntyre (N.C.). All Republicans voted in favor of repeal. This is the 37th time the House GOP has voted to repeal or defund at least part of the bill, but this latest bill will also not become law given Democrats´ control of the Senate. Still, many House Republicans had clamored for the bill from Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) to be considered,

Back in March, The Wall Street Journal’s Damian Paletta profiled Daniel Werfel — then the controller for the White House budget office, and today the newly named acting commissioner of the IRS — focusing on his role in instructing the government how to deal with the sequester’s $85 billion in budget cuts. Here are some highlights from the profile: Known in the White House as “Danny,” Mr. Werfel graduated from Cornell University, earned a master’s degree in public policy from Duke University and a law degree from the University of North Carolina.

One of President Barack Obama´s re-election campaign co-chairmen used a leaked document from the IRS to attack GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney during the 2012 election, according to the National Organization for Marriage (NOM).(Snip)NOM discovered that when HRC published its confidential financial documents, it failed to conceal the source of the documents. “After software removed the layers obscuring the document, it is shown that the document came from the Internal Revenue Service,” NOM asserted in its April 2012 release. “The top of each page says, ‘THIS IS A COPY OF A LIVE RETURN FROM SMIPS. OFFICIAL USE ONLY,’"

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
