You don't even understand grammar and common sense.
Funny stuff, right there.
We don't want judges that legislate from the bench.
This is how the liberals got Roe Vs Wade. This how we got homosexual marriage in Vermont. This why all those propositions the people in California pass get slapped down by the ultra liberal 9th circuit.
A good Conservative judge will recognize that all these are wrong. He will believe in the right to life granted in the Constitution.
A judge that believes that the right of life is paramount, believes that the second amendment is a right of the people, does not believe in legislating from the bench and is a strong believer in states rights. is what you call a good conservative judge.
If he does not believe in these things then he is not Conservative. This is why the Democrats use Roe V Wade as their basic litmus test.
If a nominee believes in abortion and will support Roe Vs Wade then they know he is not conservative, or at best one who will compromise on the other conservative principles such as the right to bear arms.
Those of us who support the right to life, the second amendment, who believe it is wrong for a few men in robes to impose their will and values on three hundred million others, are all looking for the same man to be on the bench.
There is a lot more than one issue at stake. We better stick together and makes our wishes known now.
Because our country, our children and our grandchildren are going to have to live with the results of what these people decide for the next 50 years.
"I'd call that a "significant portion"."
Then go ahead and propose a constitutional amendment and be done with it. If you have the support of the vast majority of americans it should be no problem.
Well... okay.
I HEREBY PROPOSE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
Wow, I feel so empowered. Do I need to print out this post and get it notarized or anything? Or did all the abortion mills just simultaneously close their doors?
"Perhaps the babies that god butchers are souls so predisposed to corruption and damnation that god decided to end the matter right their he decided to damn the soul to the eternal fires"
Thats where I got that "silly" idea!
Amen
The nutjobs gave the republican party their victory.
You other idiots can ignore them at your peril
This IS your post, isn't it?
How many babies were killed so that your sister could have a few more years of life?
You other idiots can ignore them at your peril
YEAH!
OMG, you are unreal; now go stand in the corner (but that WAS funny!)
you are right. I heard that morals were a very important part of the Bush victory.
Who on this thread suggested you be forced to pay for abortions?
"the simple fact is that abortion is unnatural and is both religiously and scientifically wrong. End."
And yet women are still having them.
Good luck getting them to stop!
Fetal stem cells are removed from the dead fetus, the result of elective abortions. A common practice of harvesting these fetal stem cells is partial birth abortion.
Embryonic stem cells are stem cells harvested from embryos. Most of which come from in-vitro clinics. However there is now a move to clone these embryos to provide further "research material".
Adult stem cells - found in everything from bone marrow to the pancrease, liver and brain, are not only readily available - but proven to be effective treatments. There is no need to end a life using these stem cells.
What many of us are fighting against is the belief that the deliberate destruction of a human being so that another may benefit is morally wrong.
The slippery slope some of us talk about in this discussion has a lot to do with the thinking behind the statement often made: That the embryos were deprived of life long ago, so why not test them and see how it turns out. If they were dead, they would not be viable for anything. Many, if not all, of them are frozen in time, literally.
My thinking on this is very personal, and it goes back to this thought: The argument that "they're already dead, so it's okay to test them until they prove beneficial" is a thin one. We are already being told - not by doctors or scientists - but by politicans and celebrities that embryonic and fetal stem cells WILL HELP SICK PEOPLE GET BETTER. It is the same argument I've heard that "well the abortion already happened, so there is nothing we can do about it, so let's just use the tissues." It isn't as black and white as that.
There is no evidence of any benefit to using fetal or embryonic stem cells to treat any disease or disability or injury, and it saddens me to hear it used: when I am the direct target. Should I sacrifice another so I may have a little less discomfort?
You sound so... happy about that.
Chilling.
Moi! I think it all nonsense just exactly because I do believe in free will.
"At what point do you believe that abortion should be restricted?"
Banned for the third trimester.
Severe restrictions after 20-24 weeks, like serious health risk to mother, severe(meaning non-functional deformity like anencephaly)
Relatively unrestricted the first 16 weeks, other than parental consent, acknowledgment of options such as adoption, etc.
so im now stupid, ignorant, and not a true conservative according to you? I'm Catholic and don't care about the Calvinists!!!!!!!!!! Can't you see that from my screen name. If you remember YOUR history, it was a Catholic council.
I have been an active member of the pro life movement since the first time I became aware of it a good many years ago. I have joined more than a few marches to DC on Jan 22 and been impressed with the huge numbers of dedicated pro lifers who, at their own expense, make the trip each year. I am too modest (!) to detail more bona fides but suffice to say I am still ardently pro life. However---I am really steamed at your headline. I do not respond well to warnings, stampedes, intimidation, or threats of any nature whether delivered from the LEFT or the RIGHT. The very thought that an American citizen would not vote in an election for any reason is repellent to me. It is terrible enough that some Americans sell, and others buy, votes. Voting is a privilege and should not be considered as a reward or punishment for goods delivered or not. If pro lifers insist on a litmus test for judges, and pro abortionists insist on the same for their guys, there will be the usual stand off. President Bush will do the best he can to give us Supreme Court Justices who will abide by our constitution, without a litmus test either left or right. The Republican party is not responsible for RvW. They have to deal with what exists. Protest and speak out for what you stand for, but please, do not SHOUT threats at the rest of us.
