All they know is that "Obama is a Godless babykiller!"

Personally, I never cared for religion or what I consider to be "abortions of convenience", aborting a fetus just because you don't feel like having it just seems kinda wrong. But, then I run into some of these teenagers out there and I can't help but think maybe we should extend abortion to age 18.

I agree.

Same goes for many things like illegal drugs, immigration...........

You got that right.

Hey Dave,
Wasn't it kind of the other way around? The moral majority decided to use politics to further their agenda and hold on religion. Or was it the politicians who drove this cart?

I think, maybe, it was an arrangement for mutual benefit.

Many have spent years in study to be able to manipulate the unsuspecting. Why should politics be any different then the rest of our everyday life? We are bombarded just about every waking minute with stimulus to buy this or that, watch this or that. Now it is not much of a jump to voting or supporting this or that now is it?

The scary part is the not knowing one has been manipulated, but feels they still have free will.

Somehow my answer to why only women should vote regarding Roe v Wade go lost. I simply do not believe that I have any right to tell any woman what she is allowed to do with her body. Now as to the argument that some women use it as a form of birth control, probably by some why have never gone through a D&C, so what if she does, do you want someone like that raising a child? You can't take the child away in any case. Even if you could take the child, orphanges suck and so do our adoption laws. So if you plan on forcing her to term are you going to provide child support? I won't even waste time on rape or incest.

I don't think your point was lost, it was just too sensible to argue with.
