It is obvious what our organs were designed for and where they should go and where they should not go. Can't we agree to support laws that punish people for putting their organs in inappropriate and unhealthy places because it is a health risk to the community and they don't have a right to jeopardize all of us through their filthy practices? No. Just as it is a slipery slope to try to legislate what other unhealthy things people put in their bodies. Next thing I know you'll be coming for my Oreo cookies.

Legislating "health" is what liberals want to do, not right-minded conservatives.

Besides, that would blow my plans for the weekend.

I am very disappointed by what I am seeing from some of you.

The Republican party is the party of Ronald Reagan, not the party of Pat Robertson!

This is NOT what it means to be "conservative". It is what it means to be "right-wing fundamentalist". So if you want to preach, go right ahead, but don't do it under the guise of conservativism or the banner of mainstream Rupublicans!

And I will say this loud and clear: You cannot legislate morality.
That isn't a liberal ideal, it is a libertarian one.

Now lets get on with the TRUE CONSERVATIVE issues - like market capitalism, limited government, foreign policy, and national defense.

Right minded conservatives once were called Puritans of which I am one. I do not think your weekend would be ruined if you put your organ in the place for which it was designed instead of places where you could ruin another's body or your own.
