Tyler Burkman: the helth of the mother in late term abortion is bull **** the baby is fully formed and can be deliverd as opposed to inducing labor when the crown of the head appears a sissor is used to clip the spinal cord the the chils brain is sucked out how sick is that how could any so called doctor do such a thing

Piedad Bassiti: Tell the truth in your rant.He was saying that this is used as a carte blanche excuse and it can be. Especially in the "late term" portion of the abortion debate.Only the most fringe radical people would say to not consider the health of the mother. Really, you should learn to tell the truth. It is rather unseemly to lie and mischaracterize the words of others in a published manne! r. Some might even call it libel.edit -- do you think you could be any more racist and sexist than to say, "since when do old white guys..."? Not to mention age discrimination. Well done!edit -- Mine may be lame but your "question" is a rant and possibly an illegal one. You published items about someone that you misrepresented (read the definition for libel)edit -- Hey Dan you are a bigot and an ignorant one at that. For your information, I am a republican no longer. GW cured me of that.Oh BTW if you want a good read from a Pro-Abortion voice about of one issue voting check out the followinghttp://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2008/09/10/pal...Camille Paglia has never been so brilliant....Show more
Libby Berkovitch: Green Eggs and Ham
Rachal Osaki: Like you, I've never known any women to use abortion as contraceptives (or rather instead of contraceptives). Although I'm sure that there are some few who do. I hope they are exception and not the rule. I am! personally against abortions, as the women who have undergone! the procedure are often haunted by it, even twenty-years later. However, I strongly believe that abortion needs to remain a safe legal option. The CDC (being currently managed by Bush appointees) has the following stats for 2004 (the most recent ready for publication), over 60% of abortions are performed before eight weeks, and a full 88% are performed within twelve weeks (the first trimester). Only two percent are performed after 20 weeks. The late term abortion business is a totally a straw man argument designed to appeal strictly to emotions, bypassing reason. 24 weeks is when a fetus is considered viable to live outside its mother. The other thing that has changed, according to the CDC stats, the numbers of teen pregnancies have been declining since they peaked in the 1950s (although this may be a slightly misleading stat, since there were still large portions of the US in the 1950s where if a gal was married and pregnant by age 18, she was an "old maid"). Also ! the number of abortions has also been declining. What has changed more radically over that time, the Christian Message of abstinence, or the availability of sex-ed and access to contraception?http://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/Data_Stats/#......Show more
Armando Somes: So you are looking for a non-religious bible that doesn't talk about God? Well, that would be an interesting find...Report back.
Collin Barter: Well clearly you dont follow the issue of partial birth abortion bans.Many activist groups and politicians have tried to hold up partial birth abortion bans by trying to include very very vague health of the mother exceptions that pretty much would allow a doctor to proclaim any partial birth abortion as a possible necessity for the health of the mother, rendering any such law passed as useless because it really wouldnt ban any partial birth abortions.That is what McCain was talking about.People do your research. Just because you dont like what I am ! saying doesnt mean it isnt true. That is why McCain made that comment.! He wasnt making fun of womens health. He was making fun of the fact that Obama, once again, was dancing around that issue and skewing the argument with partial birth abortion.Where again does Obama stand on abortion????? He still hasnt really answered that question!doverHUH????McCain answered very very clearly on his stand on abortion. He specifically stated that he wouldnt put a litmus test on judges and clearly stated that he feels abortion should be a state issue.Obama STILL has not stated what his exact position on abortion is. He dances around that question every single time it is asked giving both sides as answers.DanI would never vote as abortion as the main issue, but appointing judges is a HUGE issue and one people tend to overlook. It is one of the most important jobs as President and one that the President has an incredible amount of power over. It makes me very very very nervous thinking Obama would be appointing a couple of Supreme Court Justices....Show ! more

Its no big deal :-) Also, the only reason they say 2012 is the end of the world, is because all the planets are going to line up. they say that will make a gravitational difference. PSH. liars.

The world isnt coming to chaos- think about it! these natural disasters happen every year. in our lifetime, the world will NOT come to an end. Hope this helped! :-)
Jeannetta Gaffigan: Jesus never uttered a word about same-sex relationships, so he has nothing to do with it.The Old Testament said that eating shellfish, pork, and wearing clothes with different fabrics is also sinful. Yet they only follow not allowing same-sex marriage?The New Testament includes male prostitution, NO women's rights, and molest! ation. Yet people still use it as an excuse to not allow gays to marry.! And the Bible. Oooooh the good old Bible. It doesn't only define one-man-one-woman relationships, it also defines one-man-many-women, a rapist and its victim, and conquering soldier and its female prisoner.

Lu Tiner: Sounds like you may be talking about the Jefferson Bible (by Thomas Jefferson). He took out all the supernatural magic and voodoo, and stuff that had been mistranslated into the Bible.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_BibleOf course, the Bible was NOT the original source of morality. Societies existed and people had morals long before the Bible was written or read. Even after it did exist, it was centuries before it was widely available or read by common people, yet they had m! orals, with and without a belief in gods. Jesus' alleged teachings were not original - it had all been covered before by earlier gods and philosophers. Jefferson understood, though, that most Christians of the time were educated by the church and therefore unaware of much of the history outside the church.

Wally Perrien: What ppl aren't getting in their heads is that women have the right to decide for their own bodies and along with that choice should come with an education on that matter, abstinence is not working and the gov't obviously do not want their citizens to be informed especially women. In most cases it is necessary to abort rape, incest, and health risks for the mother and if you have the baby how do you explain to your child that the father was a rapist or that it was your cousin or own father and that it's father is also his grandfather and so on I mean ppl think about it in the present time when it's a baby but when that baby grows up and wants to know the truth what do you have to say to t! hat? whining about some other persons child and then they have the baby and is put into the system of welfare, you ppl have no idea about reality mccain is too old fashioned to even enlighten his mind to the present day and for goodness sake is so tactless choosing a women as vice president to haul in women voters and she's not even ready and is as in the dark as mccain is, he surely did not fool me no one is pro abortion and those ppl pro life have no respect for another persons PERSONAL decisions and it's all about pro choice we women have the right to decide what we are going to with our bodies and aren't little children to be told what to do by the gov't...Show more
Antonia Boomershine: I shall explain.

Otto Lingafelt: Banning anything in this country because of a Christian book is utterly absurd. Separation of church and state. Pilgrims flocked to the Americas so they wouldn't be persecuted for their religious beliefs and The United States was founded on freedom of speech and religion. So banning something and claiming that it isn't Christian in America is very Un-American. So there are immoral reasons behind it not any moral reason. Just the fact that people love to judge and hate others who are different than they are. The people you see holding signs screaming about no same sex marriage and God hates queers, would have been holding signs saying saying sit at the back of the bus ni**er if they had been around 50-60 years ago. Always gonna be shallow narrow minded judgmental people who love to hate others....Show more

John 13:19“Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He."Matthew 24:37-3937 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.Matthew 24:6-76You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen,! but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and ki! ngdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.many still refuse to believe, but make no mistake the end of the world is coming. note that i say the end of the world and not the earth, Jesus is coming back to us in the clouds. many of the signs are all around us, many of the prophecies have been fulfilled. sill so many refuse to believe and refuse to see the truth in God's book. so many refuse to see that there is a loving God above who would not let us die for betraying him but instead took that punishment on his son Jesus. there is still time to repent and you will be justified by the blood of Jesus and by his suffering. you must repent of your sins, ask for forgiveness and then try to live your life in accordance with God's word, there may not be much time left for each of us...Show more

Gwenda Micheals: First let me say I dislike McCain and I distrust Obama, because he has already been proven to be a liar, but then, he IS a politician...It might surprise you to know that most women who get an abortion get another abortion.The phrase "the health of the mother" has never been defined, and no one has the guts to define it.While some abortions might be necessary, according to statistics, less than 2% of them are being performed to s! ave a mother's life or because of rape and incest. That means that abo! ut 98 % of them are done for convenience of the mother. Not for her health. Women DO have the right to make choices about their health and their reproductive processes -- I have to wonder, though, why so damn many of them aren't choosing wisely to use birth control when it is available and cheap? Even free, when needed?You are being intellectually dishonest, or perhaps you just don't know the facts. I suggest you learn them -- the number of abortions being performed is staggering, there is a high percentage of repeat abortions, and the number of abortions done for convenience far outweigh those done for health reasons or because of rape....Show more
