xzins, I suspect you are going to catch some heat for this.
As if there were no baptists, catholics, presbyterians, who voted for this.
I believe that life is a critical right that shouldn't be violated. I do not believe that health care is a critical right, but is instead a benefit that a government might or might not decide to implement without violating any moral law one way or the other.
If I were to explain how the United Methodist Church actually works, folks would understand how it is that a suggestion based on our social principles can be denied by 26 UM congresscritters and affirmed by only 18.
I was just going to ping one of you and find out who has a United Methodist ping list!
