I don't suppose you need me to tell you that that is a gross distortion that's obvious to anyone who reads it?

I for one haven't forgotten that the Clinton stance is pro partial birth abortion. And globalist, and appeasnik, and pro UN, and anti 2nd amendment, and etc etc etc.

Given the choice I'm voting for rice.

How is it a distortion? Either you are for the slaughter of human life in the womb or you are against it. Let me guess.....She's also "mildly" anti-gun and "mildly" pro-homosexual agenda?

Ditto. Given the ridiculous statement I was replying to, if that logic was sound, then supporting the President would mean we support illegal immigration.

See 22 for a simple demonstration of where your argument fails.

I didn't get everything I wanted in voting for Bush, far from it in fact. However after voting for Buchanan in 2000 I realized how close I came to helping install someone 100% worse.

So the eating of our own has begun.

This past presidential election, as will be the next, is not about single issues.

It is about keeping the United States from disintigrating and becoming a part of Europa.

You don't want an abortion, don't get one.

You want a priest, vote one in.

You don't like Dr. Rice, vote for Hilarity, or write yourself in.

As Rush says ... for those of you from Rio Linda, the "You" if figuratively speaking.

. She said that while her father was preparing for his sermons, she and her mother would shop. One wishes now that she had considered the content of the both the Bible and the unbroken Christian tradition concerning the inviolable dignity of every human person, more than the latest styles.

Holier than thou prig!

John McCain and his gun-control agenda received almost over 50% support from the members of this "conservative" forum. I'd wager the Pro-Abortion, Pro-homosexual agenda gun-grabbing Giulliani would do even better.

No. There are other very good alternatives. Such as Senator Rick Santorum. he is an outstanding senator and a hero to me and many other pro-life folks.He would be a great President.

No. We just have our work cut out. Truth will always prevail when men and women are willing to sacrifice.

"No. There are other very good alternatives."

Very good to whom? The Republican Party, or you.

Like it or not, without some earth shattering change, Condoleeza Rice is a good bet to blow old Hitlary out of the water.

You get back to me after you see Santorum's canoe sink, and Dr. Rice gets nominated , then tell me whom you will vote for.

Don't get me wrong. Senator Rick Santorum is a great guy. I just don't see him beating a movement for two woman face off for the presidency.

Like the "great white hope" in boxing, the people can smell this one coming.

But, hey, don't worry about me. I voted for Goldwater in 1963. ;)

Could someone post a link to a site that has articles and papers by both sides of the abortion issue?

I'm interested in philosophy-level debate only, which doesn't necessarily exclude theology.

I took a class in college entitled "Medicine, Ethics, and Society", and we had a book which was a collection of articles written about both sides of many medical issues. We would analyize what philosophic viewpoint each was coming from. Can't remember the name of the book though.

Good for America, for human rights and for authentic freedom. Also, good for the pro-life cause.I am one of many "reluctant Republicans." I had to leave the Democratic party because it was hijacked by lunatics. The last Democrat I could have supported was Governor Bob Casey. However, I know that if the Republicans go the way of Guliani, and other "pro-choice" folks, it will lose many of us.The Senator will not "have his canoe sink" as you say. He will garner an extraordinary alliance of Catholics (like me) and evangelicals, social conservatives, sane libertarians...the list goes on.He will keep all the Republicans. He is from a blue collar State and has shown his ability to win working folks like my dad and others who voted for Reagan even though some of them were still on the Democrats lists.

I've been reading this, and several other threads on the same topic yesterday and today...and something really bugs me. We seem to have a small, vocal contingent that says in essence, "Every conception MUST result in a full-term, live birth. If it doesn't then by God someone is going to jail..." and that anyone that does not subscribe that point of view is branded "pro-abortion", and that pro-choice is a synonym for baby killer. It makes me sick. Abortion as a means of post coital contraception is wrong. I am also in favor of parental notification & consent for minors. However, I am not so closed-minded to realize that there are certain medical situations where termination of a pregnancy is a reasonable option. And I think that this point of view does not alienate the squishy middle of the political spectrum, which any candidate needs to capture the majority of in order to get elected. What really scares the hell out of me is the contingent here that would rather see a "President Hillary" than support a candidate with whom they disagree on one issue. God help us.

"Abortion is the intentional execution of an innocent human person."

No need to reply. I found my answer.

Saving the mother's life is the intended action; the death of the fetus is an unintended consequence.

Sorry, but the Republicans have pulled that a few times too often. Some of us get to vote in primaries, but as a rule the party leadership choose the candidates. Again and again they have picked a RINO, under the assumption that conservative voters will have no choice in November but to vote for the least worst candidate.

The last time they did that it was Bob Dole, and it cost them the election. Normally I would agree with you, but with the end of Roe v. Wade in sight and a chance to reverse the cultural decay of the past 50 years in sight, a lot of people will be very, very unhappy if they are subjected to bait and switch yet again.

I have said I would vote for Condi if she promised to take a pro-life stance. She has unequivocally rejected that option.
