Is the Media Unfair to McCain?

Simple you proscute the doctors who do it.

And let the woman go free after being an accomplice to murder? That's not justice.

And realistically, what will the government do to a doctor who performs an abortion?

One can have the right to choose and not choose to use that right immorally.

In all honesty...if we had government health insurance the government would be in a better position to regulate abortion. Consider Ireland.

I would rather consider the fact that your arguments are appear on the surface at least to be quite hypocritical.

but im not petty and wont be reporting you.

One cannot do a moral killing of a baby.

Let me ask you...how will the Government police and penalize women who procure abortions?

Let's translate your thinking to another scenario.

I don't like my neighbor. His dog poops on my lawn. His trash blows into my yard. The government tells me I can't kill him. The government is not authorized or qualified to make that decision. The choice should be mine.

Make sense?

Do you believe that abortion is the killing of an innocent human?

I think the real question is: Does anybody think any politician Republican or otherwise is actually going to do something like prosecute doctors or mothers. This has all become an excercise in theory that does not translate into what we expect politicians to do for our precious and important vote.

what ever.

Pro-Choice = Individuals choose (I admonish that women choose life unless their life is in danger)

Pro-Abortion=Supports the act of Abortion as in China.

Just because a person believes that the government is incapable of addressing the issue doesn't mean they support abortion. I support churches and private entities stepping in to address the issue through education and social action.

I was only defending Rico and myself from the accusation that we support murder (highly offensive). So I reported those posts where people accused us of supporting murder because those accusations are highly offencive. More offensive of being accused of telling a a lie.

So, if you want to address "tattle tales"...please address the poster that started the process. And I assure you...it wasn't me or Rico. We were defending ourselves from unfounded accusations of supporting murder.

Aquila, they don't get it, Brother. People around here haven't learned that they don't get to decide whether what they say is offensive to someone or not. It's the person on the receiving end of what is being said that decides if what they are being called is offensive or not. It's plain to see it doesn't matter to some people around here if they offend others or not. It will be interesting to see how they react when the shoe is on the other foot.

I stand by my statement to Ferd and expand it to include anyone else who wants to say I think abortion is ok. I am against abortion and have said so many times. To say I am not Christian and supportive of murder, for thinking a woman should have the right to choose an abortion, is highly offensive to me. I don't appreciate it one bit. When have I ever accused any of you of not being a Christian for your views? Have I told people I thought they were crazy? Many times. Have I told people I thought they were on the wrong path? Many times. Have I told people I thought something they were doing was a sin? A few times. Have I ever told someone I thought they weren't a Christian and supported murder? NEVER!

Didn't you begin this by reporting me?

I only said that you're issuing false accusations.

You accused me of supporting murder.

Who out of the two of us do you think was more offended?
