You don't get it do you? ALL governments. ALL leaders. ALL presidents/kings are about control. How can you be so blind? We WANT someone to tell us what to do, someone to reassure us that we will be ok. Someone to make decisions for us. That is why we are slaves. I feel sorry for you... |

I agree with what you are saying, that w should be free to do as we please. However, the democrats are taking more and more of our rights away on a daily basis. Repub candidates have to preach this to keep the christian vote. Other than abortion and gay marriage, there is no other rights they want to take away. And I have mixed feelings about abortion. I see why people dont want it. killing babies and all. I just dont understand how it has become a normal birth control instead of a dirty dark secret you keep forever. |

No one pays for the abortion other than the person getting it. This has never been paid for by others. "techincally" that is true in terms of federal dollars. however federal dollars do still go to institutions that provide abortions. yes the money isnt supposed to go towards the abortions but for other services but i think we can all agree that the federal dollars helps keep these places open. |
