I don't get it, why are Republicans so obsessed with telling other people what they can or cannot due with their own bodies and lives?

because they're "small government"
and government should say what people do with their bodies
we should not leave judgments up to god, afterall
because apparently they think it's their job to do the judging and tell people what they can/cannot do with free will

many are christians yet support unending wars and death of children overseas because they live in fear (not faith)
i often wonder how much "faith" a person can really have and how many could look jesus in the eye knowing what they've supported with their money and votes
one only has to look at the pictures of blown up children in foreign lands to see the harm that has been caused
but they're too busy giving their money to pedophiles and supporting murder to notice i guess

or they're just a bunch of hypocrites

Because Republicans are into authority and control. Think Old Testament vs. New Testament.

My parents married in 1960 after my mom got pregnant with my older sister. They got married because abortion was not an option. If abortion was common and encouraged, (it will be encouraged once it is legal and commonplace) it is likely I would not have a sister. Heck I may not even be here because my parents may not have married if there wasn't pressure to to marry. I wonder if in 1960 abortion was a easy way out how many people would not be around today? It is very easy to make a rash decision and abort a baby. Once it is done there is no reset button.

It is more than a blob of cells. You should research fetal development.

Lol u bought an ipad

Liberals want to force you to buy health insurance, tell you how much salt to eat, tell you how much soda you can have, etc etc

Yet you think the Republicans are the control freaks?

lol ok then

iow, they're fascists at heart
who don't trust god to do the judging and sorting
they have god complexes themselves
but they are nothing like god
as the way they wish to supplant god is actually pretty evil
while smiling and saying they love jesus
they support deaths of children
stealing of rights
destruction of free will
pedophilia
subjugation
they do all this as they live in fear
not faith
and the fear they feel is because, deep down, they know their path is NOT in alignment with god's will but their own preferences
so they show their fear but lashing out at everyone else
they combat their own fears about themselves by projecting them on to everyone else
what you see are their own fears/hearts on display
when they lash out at everyone else
tell me again where in the US the highest porn usage is?
oh, that's right
the bible belt
they participate in the degradation of women
while proclaiming mary was perfect in her virginity
and jesus couldn't be married...

think about it
they're just f*cked up in the head

this is why generation x is so small

but, it's still up to god to do the judging
not men

I agree.

Society as a whole agrees murder is wrong. That's what I am talking about, our culture is against murder.

Plus murder isn't anyones right because it infringes on another human beings right....we can't even come to the conclusion that it's a "human baby" inside a mother. Half the country considers it a lump of cells.

Those are not comparable IMO

The soul is there the moment you conceive. It doesnt enter at 3 months, where the hell would a soul come from at 3 months, women dont produce souls its already there at the very moment your conceived. There are people who cant have children, thats why they offer adoption. The problem is stupid people like you who use abortion as birth control and if you dont want a baby someone out there does.

Yes, war is wrong.

tell us more about how you know EXACTLY when a soul enters a body, how you know that it's the SAME for every single person
i'm all ears given that i've had an experience where i was shown, by god, when my soul entered my body
which wasn't when you claim
but that was just me
and i'm not egotistical enough to claim it's the same for all
because i'm just a human and that's god's domain
not mine
so please, oh wise one, fill us all in with your vast knowledge

There are Christians like that, and it's hypocritical.

But it's also hypocritical to say it's "your body", when it is quite obviously someone elses's body when you kill it.

Most pro-abortion militants I have run into have seemed, to me, to be more fascist and militaristic than many Christians I meet.

Truly a scary bunch, devoid of all empathy.

Please tell me how EXACTLY you know this? Do you have memories of being conceived? Who told you this? Are you God? You have YOUR version of reality, but my version may be different, what if I believe a soul enters upon its choosing, perhaps even chooses to be in the womb of someone who is going to abort it to teach a lesson of life? You cannot say my version is less valid than yours because the truth is, we will only know when we leave this life.

I'm a Republican. I don't care what you do. Just don't use my tax dollars for your pleasures and mistakes. Whats so hard to understand.

well, i'm not pro-abortion
i hate it
but i also believe in god
and i also believe that god put us here to walk our own walks and find our way back to him via the experiences we have
and, for some, that may mean having to make tough choices
and LIVE WITH THEM or be changed forever by them
and, if people aren't allowed to make their own choices then you're doing nothing but delaying their return to god
it's their path to walk as that's the whole freaking point of being given free will
and it's god's place to judge
THOU SHALT NOT JUDGE
wasn't a "suggestion"
not my place to judge, not yours or any other "holier than thou" hypocrite who has planks in his own eyes he should worry about before looking for splinters in everyone else's
PERIOD

Jesus said that the only things God does not forgive is knowing God's love and turning your back on it and misleading children. Promoting the death of children puts you at great risk of severe consequences. To be fair I support fair choice. Flip a coin and let fate decide. Heads the baby lives. Tails the host lives.

i can agree with that
at the same time, don't use my money for wars that kill children in other lands or to subsidize corporations or for a police state that shreds our constitution
thank you


this is why the income tax is unconstitutional
it forces people to pay for things they do not morally support
which, of course, also keeps the country divided
but neither "party" is truly small government enough to recognize this
and they both want to find ways to spend the public's money on the things they "believe" in
so round and round we go

I completely agree:-). They are small government until they need FEMA, or Medicare, or unemployment insurance. A bunch of hypocrites really. I don't believe the real Jesus would ever want his followers worshipping this made up version our religions like to feed us. If you are going to stand behind something with "morals" as your reason, then you obviously cannot support a war, so why is it then that more conservatives support war than liberals when all the liberals are "baby killers" without a moral compass? They're argument lacks any credibility and substance because they get to decide what is moral and what isn't.

You have been brainwashed. True conservatives believe the Federal Goverment has absolutely no business in either case. Particularly the maraige issue.

The abortion issue is a moral debate regarding when life begins and you will find conservatives opposing the ending of a human life. But again, it's an issue better left to the States.

they mostly tell people "pay for your contraceptive pills plugs and rubbers, and killing your babies, yourselves--not our responsibility what you do for recreational sex, or the by products of it---that isn't "health care" like a disease--and it is your own responsibility"

you women voting you "lady parts"--if the stud you screw is too no account to provide his own gloves, maybe you should keep your knickers on?

I could give a shit what you do with your body and life - we all answer to our decisions in that regard in the end.

I just don't want to pay for it.

too bad the people who so believe in abortion didn't have parents who thought that way

Everyone knows what is right or wrong. You do not need it written down for you by the government. No amount of words can justify a wrong.

I'm not brainwashed, I actually pay very close attention to what BOTH sides are saying so I can make an informed decision. I don't associate with any party, but support the person who I believe is the best choice for the greater good of our country, if I thought it would be a republican I would support them. Perhaps most conservatives feel the way you do, and I believe it, however, you are supporting someone who has expressed some extreme points of view, and by choosing one of the MOST extreme and right winged running mate, Romney is making a statement about the choices he will make if elected to office.

Democrats Biden and Bama voted for the Patriot act, and Dems like Schumer and Jerusalem Joe Lieberman pushed NDAA--and Biden was all for Saddam's WMD excuse and the phony "blame Bin Laden(who Carter and Reagan called a "freedom fighter" when we armed him and his boys as a proxy army against the Soviets)--they are no better than the warwhore repubs

I haven't idea how that just posted three times, weird!

You're right, and I wasn't going to vote for him again until Romney/Ryan became the other choice, it's the lesser of two evils in my opinion and it stinks that we have to be put in this position in the first place.
