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?

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...

That is not true.

They persecute those who are trying to get "free".

And if they don't like them, and they can, they kill.

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.


I believe the real truth is that the soul is AROUND the body early on, but doesn't enter the body until 3rd trimester OR even until after birth. Even the first few months after birth the soul comes and goes from the seat of the body and freely is able to live in both spirit world and physical. Eventually after a month or so the soul becomes fully seated in the heart of the body.

This come from deep questioning and soul search via meditation, and hypnosis. Also from what I have read from the most spiritual beings that ever lived on the planet.

It makes perfect sense to me.

Re: 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
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26989617


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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1519709


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
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26989617


I judge people every day. I was born with a brain, a mind, and an ability to reason.

I take in as many facts as I can, and come to a decision. To "not judge" is just silly.

I don't use the bible as my rule book, or any other religious book, just common sense, which most don't have.

It's served me well so far.

Murdering over 100 million babies... is still murder... no matter what you choose to call it...

It is not murder to erradicate a small, small blob of cells. There should be a call for men to be steralized across the country.

Re: 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?
I'm so sick of politics, but it seems like the rallying cry for Republicans is always to end abortions and stop gay marriage. Why do you care so much what I do with my own body and with my life? If you don't want an abortion, don't get one! If your a man and don't want to marry another man, than don't, but stop telling me what I can and cannot do with my own life!!! You may all be using your religious views as the basis for your beliefs and willingness to take away the personal rights of every individual in the US, but you need to remember, America is a melting pot of DIFFERING religions ethnicity's, and points of view. That is why our founding fathers came here, to start a new and better country and way of life. Why are you so willing to throw that away???

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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26849823


Liberals support war. Head over to HuffPo, read their comments. They love war, as long as a dem is in office, or they are at least indifferent.

The ironic thing is the current Administration is the one silently removing YOUR liberties and freedom.

Besides from Romney's website, "With Roe overturned, states will be empowered through the democratic process to determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate." he is for allowing each state decide their own abortion laws. What's so wrong about that? I want less Federal laws and more state level laws. That's the way we were founded.

Is that all you are, a small small blob of cells. Or are you a person that lives , and dreams, and loves, and hates, and learns, and has a right to live.

A child is not a tumor to be removed, a blob to be extracted, it is a life that you created with another person. It doesn't matter if it was planned, an accident, or bad timing. It is still the creation of life to which you belong. Casting it out as so much garbage only lessens you as a person, for only a person that gives of itself shall ever love life.

"Why are Republicans so obsessed with telling other people what they can or cannot [do] with their own bodies and lives?"

More and more I've come to see this sort of stance as a slight of hand tactic to claim moral high ground while distracting both sides into ignoring our own guilt and complicity in the outrageous horrors we have been responsible for throughout the world these past several decades.

It's simple; if you find some point to take a stand on that will bolster your feelings of righteousness you can easily sweep under the rug and forget our history of past misdeeds (that's putting it very mildly). While I don't lay the blame solely at the feet of republicans it's pretty obvious to me they're the ones with the lions share of blood on their hands of late.

Oh and fuck all of you 'there is no difference between the two' cry babies. There is no such thing as tptb- only tptwannabe. You're just acting out the script of hopelessness tptwb want you to. Think about it. Where is this attitude getting you/us? We're further now from a legit third party than we've ever been. Set aside your differences, put up someone decent for a change, and fight hard for them damn it. Do that and I'll join you.

The same way any harm to you affects us. You would risk your life to save mine if you had the capacity, even if you disagree or even despise my beliefs.

And doing somethign wrong does not send you to hell. Rejecting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only unpardonable sin. (Hey, forgive my preaching. I just had to mention that.)

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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27032728


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
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26989617


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
