I bet these guys could get to the truth!

Why do you feel the need to reconcile your whole life to fit a PR slogan?
I swear, people were a lot more honest before Roe v. Wade. Nobody had a problem with the terms "pro-abortion" and "anti-abortion". I don't think abortion on demand should be legal. I think it's murder. Therefore I am anti-abortion. People that believe abortion on demand should remain legal are pro-abortion no matter what nice stories they tell themselves.
I won't let the other side dictate what I MUST believe in order to hold the beliefs that I do. They live with far greater inconsistencies and contradictions than I do, so they're in no position to impose anything on me.
Saying you're "for all life" sounds like a PETA billboard. I suppose you're antiwar, too.
Bottom line, the death penalty is the only appropriate punishment for certain crimes. I don't have a problem with it. I do have a problem with elevating murderers to victim status, hero status, and even martyr status, as this idiot nun does in furtherance of her radical goals.
Trying too hard?
That sounds like a pretty strong condemnation of captial punishment to me. But then again, I'm just a lowly Catholic who doesn't have the bible memorized chapter and verse.
Self deprecation or backhanded slap disguised as such?
(Bible quote is from the King James Version as to cause a mimimum of consternation from the more evangelical members on this board.
What was the need for this statement?
I'll make the snippy responses for all of you, so that you don't have to: "Oh, he's a meteorologist, he's used to being wrong!" "He said he was a student in Wisconsin. Stupid hippy Madison liberals." Uh..that's all I've got. I know the rest of you can do better.
From your very first post here. You expecting friction already? Why?
Do I think you are a troll? No. But I've been wrong before. Like I said, time will tell.
Genuine Catholic, or parody by a non-Catholic trying to pass?
I bet these guys could get to the truth!
Well, at least you're honest about it.
I'm not 100 percent against abortion, and only a fool would be. For example, I can't speak for the ones due to medical dangers.
I don't however, like the idea that a woman who didn't have the common sense to keep her knees together on a lonely Saturday night should have the total convenience of skipping down to the local Abortions R Us and having her innards vacuumed out angst free.
There are too many philosophical differences between abortion and murderers like Tucker to make a sweeping comparison.
Be gone troll.
It is a very rare abortion that has anything to do with the life of the mother.
The entire purpose of the late term abortions is to kill the child, not to releive the mother of the risk to herself.
Preterm infants starting at about 22 weeks have an increasing viability with every week. Pretty much every pregnancy over 28 weeks has an excellent chance of a normal life.
You can end the pregnancy and preserve the life of both the mother and the infant.
That might be true. I'm not addressing late term abortions either. Well, maybe I don't know what to address, since each case has to be taken on it's merits, and I'm no doctor.
All I can truly speak for is the insanity of the Leftists, the so-called Enlightened, who value Life so little as to make abortions as handy as 7-11's, where your underage daughter has the right to go and bleed to death without your permission.
As a nurse working in a hospital that didn't do abortions, I dealt more than once with the aftermath of legal ones.
Perforated uterus, hemorrhage, sepsis.
Considering the vast number of abortions these days, I'd be willing to bet a months pay that the number of deaths from legal abortions is equal the to value the proabortionists made up about back alley abortion deaths.
ping me!
If you want to really respect INNOCENT LIFE, punish those who kill others with the maximum punishment one can muster.
Prejean doesnt care about innocent life, only the lives of worthless, evil individuals who have made Hell for others, with their killing, raping, etc.
Being merciful to the cruel is being cruel to the innocent.
Your comments are ignorant BS.
"So can somebody please first read this article then give me an honest and informed opinion on it."
An honest, fair and unbiased reaction to that emotional screed is that it is a pile of BS. (e.g., she lies about these incidents regarding Bush. tsk, tsk.)
Would you rather live in a state where there was NO punishment for murder or a state where EVERY MURDERER WAS PUNISHED WITH DEATH?
Answer honestly and then decide if this loony nun is on the level.
Amen!
Don't know about troll, not enough posts. But when it comes to there being Sheep and Sheepdogs more likely a sheep. Most of us here belong in the Sheepdog category. That is we will give our life to protect the sheep. The word wussy comes to mind to keep the conversation clean. Just don't see this guy watching my back, if ya know what I mean. LOL
Mind if I steal your Fox News Alert? I was looking for something like that yesterday.....

Sure...I found that thing here on another thread earlier. ;-) Thought it was funny.
Thank you. I've added you. :^)
