Will abortion be banned under Bush? (Time out:0 days after 05-11-2004, 03:33)
Yes! And I agree it should be banned!
No, but I think it should be banned...
Yes - so much for the land of the free...
No, thankfully there are too many safeguards against the erosion of our basic human rights

Most socially conservative religious people get really very, very, very little out of tax breaks for the rich. They could use some assistance with their healthcare. Their moms and dads could use a little more than token assistance with drug costs.


Are most socially conservative people motivated by economic concerns? Many of them are less well off financially, not because of their talents, or abilities, but because of their lifestyle decisions.

They do not want to live in a big city. They like the slower lifestyle.

So, to say that they will do better with more money, strikes a smile to most of them, who see money as not that important.

This is why, they flock to the party that shows them love, that welcomes them and their beliefs. This is also why they shun the Democrats, who spit in their faces, who mock their churches, at the same time as they kneel to receive communion.

Does all industry necessarily result in economic growth? The abortion industry profits from killing children. The accompanying loss of these children is dragging down your birth rate, and as a consequence, your long-term economic prosperity.

How does free enterprise work, with a constant decrease in demand?

Since a fetus is not a human being, so what? And besides, we allow people to be killed all the time- life has never been sacred, we snuff it all the time. Snuffing it when it is nothing more than a bunch of cells makes no difference at all.

How many woman, will be among their number?

Prolly less, given the complications inherent to induced abortion.

Secondly, there are many people who want to adopt, but can't who spend a great deal of money to adopt a child from overseas.

Do you really think these kids are not going to find loving homes?

Go here.

"Human development begins after the union of male and female gametes or germ cells during a process known as fertilization (conception).

"Fertilization is a sequence of events that begins with the contact of a sperm (spermatozoon) with a secondary oocyte (ovum) and ends with the fusion of their pronuclei (the haploid nuclei of the sperm and ovum) and the mingling of their chromosomes to form a new cell. This fertilized ovum, known as a zygote, is a large diploid cell that is the beginning, or primordium, of a human being."

Well, there's also the fact that the jobs that paid fairly well flew overseas when they were in their 40s, by which timne they had no other marketable skills and had to settel for jobs at half the pay they were accustomed to. Then there's the fact that a college education costs more than a family with one disabled parent can afford. Are you living in some sort of socialist utopia up there?

How do you mock a church while kneeling to take communion? Wouldn't you be in danger of choking on the host?

You're so far out of touch it's pathetic. I sit in my office exam rooms and hear their complaints dozens of times every day. I don't think that many of my patients would just smile off a little more money. Money is really important when you live behind a few payments most of the time, or if you have to make a choice between eating and taking your medicine regularily.

It doesn't- are you saying Human ways of living needs to be modeled around an economic model, and not the other way around? Thats pretty sad.

Ok, here's what we'll do.

We gather all the names of ppl who are prolife.

We outlaw abortion.

And each time a child is born we give it to one on that list along with the hospital bill (including the cost incurred to bring the child to term).

whamo!

I doubt it will be outlawed.

I really don't have much comment on abortion. I really don't think men should discuss it.

Only women should be allowed to vote on if it should be legal or not.

Therefore I will not say if I support or don't support abortions. I'll just say they are disgusting. Anyone ever see an aborted fetus?

Obviously, I'm out of touch with social conservatives.

Most of those that I know earn less than their peers because they have chosen to live different lives, and to live outside of the cities.

The ones I know are the same. But there are many more things that take precedence over money. People help each other with their bills, if things are tough, so right there, money is not the biggest concern.
