The way things stand now, the government isn't telling anyone to either kill or not kill their unborn child. If you guys have your way, the government would be half way to completely changing that.

Now as Ive said before, if a pregnancy is going to cause serious physical health issues for the mother, then you have a reason to consider abortion.

but "I didnt use a condom" isnt a valid reason to kill someone.

You don’t get it. If we say that abortion is something that should be regulated by the Government….then it is the Government’s prerogative as to when and if a health issue is serious enough to warrant abortion. It’s your wife on the table….who’s more qualified to choose in a situation where her health or life may be at stake….you and her…. or the Government?

We're not talking about votes. We're talking about the market place of ideas.

Ok??? They tell you NOT to kill your 5 year old. They should also tell you NOT to kill your child in the womb.

What is the difference? 5 years?

But for the record…if I did change my vote…I’d vote Libertarian. Republicans are still fascists.

They don't tell you not to kill your 5 year old child. They do, however, tell you that if you kill your 5 year child you will be prosecuted.

My whole point is about accountability and how a democracy cannot work without it. If we provide politicians a talking point to hide behind (especially one that requires no specified action), they will jump at the opportunity.

i can agree with that. in practice, I find it very hard to vote for the guy I know will do what I detest.... but clearly republicans are taking it on the chin in this cycle exactly because of what you say.

Rs will lose many seats in the house and the Ds may have 60 seats in the senate and thus be filibuster proof. Barak Obama is still the odds on favorite to win the whitehouse.

all of that stems from Rs not acting like Rs. like you say, lip service has failed.

As it should be!
