The Silent Issue

I definitely agree with jupmod.....well said.

Abortion is a moral issue. It has no place in the courts or in the legislature. It is a decision to be made by a woman and her spiritual advisor. Abortions should be done in hospitals, not abortion clinics where staff are targeted and sometimes killed. In my opinion, abortion is heinous, but that is my opinion and I have no right to force it upon anyone. Life begins when everyone minds his own business.

hey, floridacadman, if obama's associates aren't so questinable they keep him out of the White House, these associations shouldn't hurt us.

Why on Earth is Cameron Strang supporting obama anyway? Abortion isn't the only (though it's the easist case to make: anyone who has ever had partial-birth abortion even *described* to them would agree it's a barbaric and horrible thing to do, yet obama voted against a ban. TWICE.) reason to distrust this spawn of the Chicago political machine (world-famous as the most corrupt and corrupting political environment there is; even John Dillinger stood in awe!) He hasn't produced even a single, solitary person to stand as a *positive* character reference to attempt to balance-out the likes of:
jeremiah wright - the now-infamous radical racist leader of a church obama attended (in obama's own words "regularly") for TWO WHOLE DECADES while he built his political foundation
william ayers - infamous for decades (since obama was only seven!) as a "mad bomber" radical domestic terrorist who, on Sept. 11th 2001 of all times, went on record saying he wished he and his fellow anarchists had set more bombs and caused more terror. obama not unwittingly associated himself with this character even to the point of launching his political career from ayers' house!!
tony rezko - convicted shady "businessman" and one-time "neighbor" of obama's (and by "neighbor" I mean his machinations resulted in obama receiving a killer deal on a piece of Chicago property in an "offer" (read: "scheme") intricately involving the rezkos and requiring they close their land deal the same day as the obamas -- even obama admits his involvement in this was "a mistake")
rashid kahlidi - PLO operative , social butterfly, and (if not "friend of") at least "pleasant acquaintance" of obama's (such that he's on tape toasting him at a dinner where, well, let's just say the people in attendance wouldn't have been happy if there had been any Israelites in the room.
All the above, in addtion to associates such as raila odinga, khalid al masour and others, and supporters including louis farrakhan and momar kadaffi (yes, THAT kadaffi!) and not one lone voice from a "respectable" person (and yes, you can discount all of hollywood ...including ben affleck) to vouch for his "character"? barack obama couldn't get a job as his own security guard, but we're willing to put his hand over "the big red button"?!?! Outrageous!


Oh, btw, to cncrnd1979: I'd say "God bless you!" but I can see He already has -- keep up the good work!

and to floridacadman: I'll answer that one to dixie -- Two for me, and I can cite by name more families than obama has shady friends (and that's a LOT!) who have; you're not as well-travelled as you might think, and just because YOU aren't acquainted with any (or many) familes who have chosen to shoulder some of society's shirked responsibilities certainly doesn't mean they don't exist!

And I'm going the other way. Having always voted Democrat because of that issue, I have finally come to the conclusion that I can vote for McCain because of the Democrat-controlled congress and the hope that they'll shoot down any conservative justice appointees who might overturn RvW.

What's interesting is that Christian Conservatives vote for Republicans because of their anti-abortion stance, and then once elected the Republicans do nothing about it. From 2000-2006, Republicans had the White House, the Senate, the House, and 7 out of 9 Supreme Court appointments, but they didn't overturn Row v. Wade. Why? Because they don't want to. They just want abortion as their trigger issue to get people to keep voting for them. Were Row ever actually overturned, there would be no reason left for a Christian Conservative to vote for Republicans, and the Republicans know that.

Finally, the number of abortions in the US went down under Clinton, but up in the first year of Bush. He then directed the CDC to stop tracking the numbers nationally. If you REALLY wanted to end abortion, wouldn't you vote for the person who wants better sex education, better access to birth control, better women's health, elimination of poverty, etc. etc. etc. That would be the Democrat.

What about the mens rights......it is their baby also and they don't even need to be informed when a woman decides to abort..........if you don't want to have babies you shouldn't be having sex, period......

Obama is FOR Partial Birth Abortion--Check it out and see how barbaric it is. Then you decide if you want someone that has such a low regard for innocent life to run our country.

It always strikes me as strange that the abortion debate is always between white males. With the exception of Sarah Palin, no women are cited in the article. White males are the LAST people from which I expect a cogent discussion on women's reproductive rights, or women's spirituality. Maybe when the christian conservatives provide consistent financial support to unwanted babies through their early lives, I'll start listening.

Killing kids is far more important than if folks can't drive nice cars and eat out when and where they want to!! I'll take the abortion issue for 200 Alex

Everyone look back to when the ten commandments were taken out of school. There were no school shootings, drugs, or sarcasm. Abortion wasn't even a thought in the fifties like it is now. Liberal folks who thought they knew the way which did you notice is just about the same as atheism made new laws of the land. Ted Kennedy believes in God about as much as Angelina Jolie. ( Buddha is not god) . The worse thing about is I feel like most republicans just say they are conservative for a vote not for their own morals.I am a true conservative, I believe life is a gift not a choice. Democrats make no sense though. They have spent milliions trying to keep a snail darter from going extinct and in the other hand make sure that babies are being suctioned through a tube at the so called "Mothers " discretion. Your telling me snails are more important than Man. Doesen't make alot of since. But neither do liberals. I love liberals and would love to see them change to do something productive like choose life.
