    on a more serious note, it's is alleged by the writer that
    "the Republican National Coalition for Life PAC, where they rate GOP candidates on their anti-abortion purity, and my jaw is on the floor at how many of these candidates support the cruelest and most extreme anti-abortion positions forcing a woman to give birth to a rapist's baby, even if the rapist is her father."

      Your surprised that the Republican National Coalition for life is against abortion?

      That is called being consistent.

      Democrats might get further if they ever tried it.

      I don't mean being consistently wrong,

      That hasn't helped them at all.

        Democrats are also against abortion, and they back much more effective measures to reduce the number of abortions by providing other alternatives--comprehensive sex education, more effective contraception and support for women who choose to have their babies and put them up for adoption.

        So in this case you think that in the name of consistency, the child raped by her father should be forced to complete the birth?

        ...well, you are showing consistency

          No Ron, I think I was pretty clear with what I said.

          This group is showing consistency in its stance against abortion.

      As a father of five, I can't imagine anyone being in favor of killing babies as being anything BUT "radical".   

      The right to LIVE is our most fundamental right, the right to NOT HAVE OUR LIFE TAKEN FROM US is the most sacred thing on earth.   How defending it is "radical" or "extreme" or ...  CRUEL?????    It's CRUEL to defend someone from being killed?   Or to make it law that life is to be defended, no taken lightly?   

      You have one truly hideous view of life and "kindness".

            I didn't say whose job it is. Actually, I'm not a big believer in federal government involvement in education. From what I've read "No Child Left Behind," a bipartisan approach, hasn't worked out very well. However, the social conservatives are the ones in many school districts who are opposing comprehensive sex education and promoting "abstinence only" training which research shows doesn't work.

              No Child Left Behind is the brainchild of one late Ted Kennedy.   Basically, all federal influence should be abandoned in education.   Let the locals deal with it, and ban all unions in education.

        It's not killing babies, it's aborting a fetus that can't survive on it's own. If it is a life it would be able to live without machines. It amazes me that the very people who fight so hard to make abortions illegal also fight the number one way to reduce the number of abortions. Comprehensive sex education and condoms. If it were the men who had to suffer thru an unwanted pregnancy and birth, it wouldn't even be up for discusion. The fact that most men still retain the belief that women are on this earth to serve and obey all men is a large part of the problem. What gives you the right to dictate what another human does with their body. Why not solve the problem by steralizing all men at birth? This would reduce the number of abortions and save a fortune on birth control. You seem to be ready to force a decision that doesn't affect you onto another at a moments notice. If it was your body being treated this way, I am sure you would be at the front of the line demanding that your rights be maintained. You don't seem to have the same concerns for other's right do you.

            Where did I state that I felt sexual behavior should be exempt from the list of things people have to learn to handle responsibly? How do you expect kids to learn about responsibility in regards to sexual activity when every church out there is fighting comprehensive sex education?

            What I was talking about is the mind set that prefers to keep kids in the dark and feed them religious crap instead of useful information that could save their life.
            To your comment below about saving a life by outlawing abortion...Go to your local fertility clinic, pick up an egg, drop a load of spem into a bowl with the egg and try to claim it on your taxes. Life doesn't begin with conception, it begins at birth.

            I have another question for you...If the fetus whose life you save is born gay, will you still fight for it's rights?

              The answer is beyond your intellectual capacity.   That's the only reason you could possibly make this argument.   Your "public education" version of "comprehensive sex education" is "here's how to be irresponsible and not suffer the consequences" which, of course, is a lie with consequences that are destroying our society.

        In many if not most cases the "one being killed" is a microscopic zygote or early embryo. I could support limitations on late term abortions, but I object to fanatics equating abortions of zygotes or early embryos to baby killing or child murder.

        wehold, How personal is the Army of God's continued campaign of killing of abortion doctors? This is a very public preacher who recruits mental rejects to kill in god's name and glorifies those who carry out that which he is too much of a coward to do himself. These recruits are no different that those who blow themselvews up in search of virgins and their god's praise.

        Ralph, perhaps all we need to do is find a goat herder to write the next chapter in the bible. You know how much stock christians place in the intelligence of primitive goat herders. Shucks, goat herders 2000 years ago had more smarts that the present day scientists do today. (according to the religious people of this country.

            I find it to be rather interesting that your arguement has nothing to do with religion when it is almost word for word what I hear on a daily basis in the bible belt. I will admit to making an assumption about the basis for your arguement being religion. Perhaps in the future you could mention that an opinion is your own when it ,s a mirror image of the religious crap most apponents to abortion mutter. This might reduce the number of assumption people make about your non sense.

            That is not the same thing. A person's rights are involved, a living and breathing full grown adult. It should be common sense to NOT have an abortion, if at all possible. I am not pro-abortion, I am pro-choice.

            I would rather a women get to carry full term, whenever possible, but not at the expense of their own life. I do have a higher ground to hold people to. Yes, make no mistake. But, up to the point of choice.


            Don't be dumb or act stupid please. That's ridiculous and you're extreme view invades right to choice.

            You over step your authority as a living human being, living an active life. No one is stopping you from not having one. It is a choice, an option.

            So give it a rest. I understand it's killing something. I also understand your view of conception is life, but choice remains with the living person of mature(hopefully- some are not) adult to make that decision. NOT have it made for them by someone else. That's an invasion of the mother's right to life and choice.

            And, Yes, I know right to life should apply to a baby, but it cannot, because it invades the right to life and right to choice of the mother....*1* right of life versus two rights of the mother's...remember, no one has a right to choose about being born. And, it never should.

              Your argument boils down to "how dare you disagree!".   Which, is, well, unconvincing.    You say that a "full grown adult" has the right to not have his life taken.   But how and when does he acquire that right?    Certainly not by government giving him a right to live.   If the right to live is merely a grant of privilege by government, then we have no right at all to live our life.   it's just granted to us at whim by a body granted the power of life and death over us.

              So, it cannot be that our right to life is a gift of governance, it must be inherent, or else it be no right at all.   To which I ask you to task your intellect and explain how there is ANY possible moment in the development of a human, whether it is the moment the umbilical cord is cut, or the moment the brain shows function, or the moment he can speak his name, or any other "moment" when a being goes from having no beingness, to being endowed with the right to live. 

              If you are unwilling to task your intellect to decide that question, then how DARE you have to gall to demand that your opinion, derived without thought, be considered above debate or above question.

                You said something here, I did not say. Please re-read what I posted. I said, a full grown adult will make the decision on abortion or not. I did not say anything about a person has the right to not have his life taken.

                You are now talking about "Capital punishment", or the death penalty, and your argument is OFF topic of this forum.

                You want to talk about "Capital Punishment", then look for my solution to that topic within my hub about it.

                The Right to Life isn't portrayed as it should be. The Right to Life is about living life with regards to those who are born into this world. Please remember I said "born". That is a completion of the pregnancy. Not before then. Government is forcing accountability up to a point, for which, leaves the door open for abortions(btw which is the topic).

                Even government realizes that society/humanity isn't ready to make the step of never requiring or having a need for the service. It isn't civilized enough(which my death penalty hub addresses).

                Exposed your argument to this question above.
                The right to life is misperceived due to too many misconceptions. Government has legalized "capital punishment", however, it's not used properly.
                You make no sense, and I find your tone, lacking due your inability to not notice or read what was said.

                You overlooked to realize I said- NO ONE has the choice to be born. We are born. It's not a choice. I didn't make the choice to be born. Therefore, you cannot give the choice to the child to be soon growing inside a woman, and take her right to live her life how she wants?

                No. Abortion give her an option. If you don't like it too bad. Get on with your life.

                But, please...do try to stay on topic.

                  You understood nothing of what I said.  I never mentioned capital punishment.  I have no idea how you strayed that far from the topic.   

                  You are pretending that "born" is the exact moment you go from non-existence to "endowed human" status.   Such intellectual fiction is laughably absurd.   Is it the moment that the cord ceases pulsing?   Is it the first breath?   Is it the first cry?   I don't actually care which one you choose, the fact is there is no material difference between that moment and the moment preceeding it. 

                  None of those events, or moments, nor any of the ones preceeding it, made that child any less of a child, nor made a non-human into a human, and that can be proven both rationally and scientifically.   Ergo, the idea that humanness and rights magically spring into being at some arbitrarily chosen moment is intellectual sewage.   It is utterly without rational merit. 

                  If government imposes that moment, then government has been empowered to grant your right to life and to withhold it when it sees fit, based on arbitrary and irrational criteria.   Which, of course, violates not only the letter, but every rational intent of the Constitution and in fact, of the term "cvilization" itself.   

                  Sorry, your argument is vapor, is smoke in the wind.   You need to do exactly what I said and start applying some intellect to the political positions you've chosen emotionally.

    And btw- Abortion is legal. If you didn't happen to know it. It is federally legal for a doctor to give a woman an abortion.

    So, both ways, it's none of your business. You are not involved in the process and should not be. So, in other words, butt out.

      Slavery was once legal, too.   But I rather doubt that you accept "legal" as the definition of "moral and right and good".     Even though you're trying to argue exactly that.   

      "My vice is legal, but yours is too evil to be."

      You have a truly warped view.

    Why is it that so many of those who are most vociferous on this topic will never be in the position of having to have an abortion themselves? You talk about being pregnant and giving birth as if it were a piece of cake. Walk a mile in my shoes with my swollen belly and ankles, or puking daily for 3 months... then see what you say.

    BTW, why do the same people who denounce abortion favor capital punishment? Is that not killing also? And don't give me that bullshit that everyone who gets the death penalty is guilty and deserves to die.

    Weholdthesetruths argues against any and all abortions and the sanctity of life from conception. I don't agree but I understand.
    But in a previous post he wrote...

    "The man is a tyrant, worthy of death...   
    If I were president, I would order his assassination."

    Birdbrain pronounced this about Hugo Chavez. The murder of a civilian head of state which we are not at war with is acceptable - but all life is sacred from the point of conception. Anyone want to reconcile these?

      American zygotes are sanctified life forms.  Foreigners are alive but can be squashed like bugs if needed.

        Ron - I'm having trouble with specific applications.

        Americans can decide what foreigners live and die - and can snuff them with impunity - even heads of state.  But if a 'baby' was planted against her will - maybe by a family memeber and is only  hours or days old - it's immoral for the woman (or underaged girl) to take a pill that will wash out  the bastard fetus that's only the size of a pinhead?

          weholdthesetruthsposted 13 years agoin reply to this

          Yeah, us arrogant Americans even decide when other nations have too many people and we bomb them into the stone age, wipe out their armies, and force them to surrender, for having picked their nose in the wrong way. 

          I suspect satire like the above is lost on you, so just understand that while you're desperately seeking simplistic sound bytes in a personal attack mode, some people never think that small.   

          I would have had Hitler assassinated, had there been the opportunity, before the day I sent troops to England and before we had to engage in a bloody island hopping war in the Pacific and drop a nuclear bomb on Japan. 

          And, before you go prattling on about hindsight,  it isn't hindsight at all, but a very principled analysis of WHAT PEOPLE DO and certain behaviors that are easily recognizable.   Before Chavez gets the chance to spark a war in South America, I would have him shot, if it could be done.   Chavez displays every personality trait of a tyrant, being no better than a good number of well known murderous tyrants from the last century.   

          And before you go running around like Chicken Little squawking nonsense, assassination is one's 'last resort'.   But if you're not willing to do it, then you have no business being president.   Your job is to defend the interests of the nation and of the people.   Further, it is the job of the president to be that kind of responsible when it comes to international affairs.   There are many things which could have been done and could still be done, to topple Chavez from power, but we haven't had a president with any guts or principle in too long for any of them to have been done. 

          The current one fawns over Chavez like a star-struck groupie over a famous rock star, mostly because they're near indistinguishable in lust for power.

        Then you'll have to invent lots of pen names, start your own topic and then you can really insult yourself and perhaps see how you feel.

        Having a strong opinion is fine but having a 'I know I'm right and those who disagree are stupid' isn't.

        I suspect if someone fired a similar insult back you would head for admin and get them banned. This is why I've bitten my tongue.

    That's right. this current crop of so called religious moral people....repubs!.....are really really against "change". The "change" which President Obama champions; Race and Gender!!

    Obama is for women and people of color, and poor and struggling people.
    Repubs are for rich white people--preferably men, and keeping the old status quo of the past 30 deadly, immoral, horror-driven, greed-mongering, war-profiteering years.

    Out with the old, in with the new.

    These republibaggers are going to be handed such a defeat, they will be forced to acknowledge their insanity and warped view of the world. IMO

    Privacy is so important. The 4th amendment is the most important one in my opinion. What we do in our private lives is no one's business, unless we choose to make it so.

    Take that away, and what is the point of any other rights?

    These repubs want too much gvt intrusion into our private lives.
    They want to tell everyone what to do....except for the crooks and thieves of big business and banking....them they give free reign.

    I really can't stand them.
    They do not deserve another go at governing...they messed the last one up so much, it's lucky we are still here.

    Farewell repubs....don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!!!!

    Guess you need another reminder that we don't want you anymore.

    well OK....you are going to get it!!!

              Or, you could be just a gratuitous flamer without any reason other than your own emotionally warped need to hurt others.

          That right was created in 1986 and signed into a law by a Republican.

          Just like the "Obama tax cuts for the middle class" were signed into a law by a Republican.

          What have the Democrats done for us, besides triple the deficit in 3 short years?

          Oh yeah, they gave us "Obama care" that no one wants.

    In fact, once people realize just how much they really don't want to go backwards, the Repub party will cease to exist.
    The far left Dem party will cease too.
    People do need to realize that this country exists for everyone.
    We can't be led by extremes.
    The gvt is a behemoth, not a little piece of everyone's pie.

    The left are angry, the right are angry.
    I am just grateful we have a sane, calm man in charge.
    He really does know that he governs for everybody.

    Take your special interests and forget it.

    Liberty and Justice for all is a BIG undertaking. But I think Obama has that in mind!!!

      I think most presidents hold the ideal of taking care to include the rights of all peoples.  It's congress that's so messed up.  President Obama is no different (ok, maybe he travels a lot more, but I'm not really counting the $ he spends on himself personally).  He has his good side and his bad.  He's an excellent speaker and a learned man.  I'm not too sure about the whole Chicago thing, though.  Wasn't he groomed for office by George Soros?  Any thought on this?

    The use of so many exclamation marks in your post just proves WHTT's point that us liberals are all childish.
    I know you would have used heart-dotted "i's" if such an option was available. Coloring your post with unicorns and rainbows, too.
    Yes, I know how liberals like you think (correction, "think" implies an education and maturity level that you obviously have not reached. Let me rephrase that: how you liberals react).

    Do you know why I know these things, lovemychris?

    While Obama and the Dems go on calmly governing, the Repub babies cry and stomp their feet. Or, as Bob Cesca at Huffpo put it: "You are sticking your fingers in your ears and going "Lalalalala".
