Featured My Political Views.

You have not answered that question. First you say legality and morality are separate-- and tell one poster he must "start another thread" if wants to discuss the morality of one issue-- while you, of course, don't, since you did discuss both. What you have 'answered' is that you insist othersfollow rules that you don't.


You said, "Party affiliation means little to me." Answer this then: of what parties were the candidates you voted for in the last 4 elections for which you cast a vote for president, senator, representative, governor, and state legislator?

 

No, I read the name of every candidate for every office up for election, and vote only in those races I know something about. I think I've voted for one Independent and all the rest Republicans for many years. The last time I remember voting for a D was for Congressman Ralph Hall, who switched and became an R some time ago. My point being made: nobody gets my vote for having, or for not having, a party affiliation by his/her name.

 

Oh, you missed your big chance to call for help here. Hillary, the most qualified person ever to be President has said that the unborn child, which the intellectuals call a "fetus", has no Constitutional rights. As you say, Crabtown, it is just sort of like a blob of tissue.

But you are right, Crabtown, abortion has been legal for a long time no--nearly as long as slavery was legal after 1776 and it is the law and there is no change in sight and it is time to move on and you are not really pro-life like some Fundamentalist or some Evangelical who confuses legality with morality. No the American Supreme Court has made murder of the fetus, as you say, legal. It's a matter of money. And there is precedent, as you pointed out above, in that other nations have legalized the "abortion" of unwanted people. Yes, Crabtown, you are right that abortion has been legal for almost four score and seven years, with no change in sight and it's the law.

 

So

Wow, logical inferences are not acceptable. Why don't you close down CBT's "pro-life" thread because abortion is the law of the land? When do you think that a human being becomes a human being? Do you agree with Hillary that the unborn child has no constitutional rights?

 

For the record, I never said that CBT was pro-abortion. CBT said that I said that.

 

Do as you please. I found the mission statement of the National Right to Life organization--I think that that is a better definition of pro-life than the Supreme Court ruling.

 

CBT said that I said that he was pro-abortion--I said that he was pro-choice. I never said that he was pro-abortion so why are you asking me to prove where he said something that I never said that he said--that's rhetorical, okay?

 

So am I. You may be the voice of one crying in the wilderness, to use a Scriptural analogy.

 

See, I neither agree nor disagree with you because I have not looked into those definitions in detail although my instinct is that they are not the same because I think that you should call people what they call themselves among other reasons. In fact, I never use the term "pro-abortion" at all. And for the record, I agree with Hillary legally.

 

Hmmm...

Must be nice. That opens up the possibilities for all kinds of moral disconnects.

Good point. Some do actually believe their morality should not play a part in their voting. A very liberal idea, IMO.

I had this argument in my Psychology class in college a few years ago. A woman said she believes abortion is murdering a child BUT that she doesn't believe she has the right to tell others what to do in that situation. She went on to say the child is dependent on the mother for life and therefore the mother should have the choice and she shouldn't be imposing her morals on another.

I said a 2 year old life is also dependent on it mother so by your reasoning not to impose your morality is it okay if she doesn't want to care for it to chop it up with an ax? Would you be willing to impose your morality in such a situation? You think abortion is murder, but don't believe you've made a moral decision when you don't stand up against it???

Any civilized society makes laws based on the population's morality and impose these laws on others. Examples: polygamy, incest, pedophilia, etc. We make these laws and form our political choices based on our individual morality, the real question is then, what do you base that morality on? I don't think a Christian should be basing it on the "wisdom" of the world or separating their Christian beliefs from their decisions ... I guess that makes my political views based on Conservatism...

 

Not to mention polyandry. Americans now postulate that gender is a social construct and that there are some 50 genders--I didn't listen to the GOP speech by the gay billionaire. A lot of people say that the unborn child is not a human being and thus they vote Democrat without any qualms. Others think that the Supreme Court never errs. Some think that the country is overcrowded and that abortion is a means to cull the population of undesirables. The bloodbath will continue until a constitutional amendment is passed defining the unborn child as having full constitutional rights. Don't look for America to act soon on this matter of life and death.
