Democrats have screwed up priorities
| Mon, 11-10-2008 - 11:30pm |
i dont get it.
I was reading today about Obama's short term agenda and three things that came up were
1) stop plans to drill for oil in environmentally fragile areas
2) stop the ban on funding of abortion aid in other countries
3) stop ban on stem cell creation and subsequent destroying for research purposes.
WHAT??????
why is the environment and/or animals more important that unborn babies?
many times the liberal agenda is more for the rights of everything EXCEPT unborn kid, eg: baby animals, people on death row, gay rights, etc.
I am not against the rights of those i just listed, i would just include unborn children too, right?? it seems like strange priorities, or hypocritical.

No, I support the right of each woman to decide what is best for her.
I must have missed the passage where Jesus described people as "garbage".
~You must be either for or against it.~
Frankly, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, anybody who references members of her community as "garbage" is not in a position to decide for others how they "must" view
Exactly!!
How can you consider yourself "pro-life" when you view other living beings as garbage and not worthy of care or compassion.??

As my teenage son says, "Uh...no." That claim is ... preposterous. I understand the REALITY that some women will have abortions "of convenience" whether it is legal or not, and that the way to diminish the number of them is to educate women (and girls) about human sexuality and contraception. There are also medical reasons for abortion: for example, a woman I knew terminated a pregnancy she had sought for FOUR years when she was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive recurrence of cancer. There was no possibility of carrying the four month fetus to term; the abortion was done in a desperate (and unsuccessful) attempt to save the mom's life. No one "wanted" to kill a baby.

2) stop the ban on funding of abortion aid in other countries
I am at work and don't have many resources but my memory is that Bush blocked funding approved by Congress for medical aid for women and children to 3rd world countries. He blocked it because some of them counseled or offered abortions. It wasn't abortion aid it was medical aid.
