Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson announced today that he's running for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
"I'm ready for a different America," Johnson said in a statement today. "I'm ready for the day when a person can build a good life on a decent income, and we can take our government at its word."
Johnson announced his candidacy Thursday morning on the steps of the New Hampshire State House and plans to spend three days in the early-nominating state meeting with supporters and visiting local businesses.
I think you should add all the nasty names he's called pro-lifers here to your title........though they might not all fit on the page.... ;)
Look, I’m a fundamentalist Christian, just like I suspect you are and I’m against abortion hence my support of the GOP. However, rape is a different matter. Rape is an act of war, not an act of love or affection. Think about it. Could you honestly demand a loved one to go through with it, even when it could ruin her health, or kill her childbirth, financially ruin her and more?
It’s a drug use sub-forum.
It was appropriate.
Yeah, I’m not seeing it.
The “angry Mr. Farnsworth” IS pro life.

The right to life is the supreme right. No other right supercedes it.
To use your analogy, you don't remedy the acts of war criminals by becoming one yourself. All you do is double the casualties and destroy your own soul.
Darn, I’m too busy to post much today and have Leo go ape**** on me. That would not only be fun but easy and right up my alley. Maybe I’ll have time later. Add me to the ping list, though.
In a word - Yes.
If a mother can’t or won’t care for her own child, then there’s the option of adoption.
I’ve adopted two children. Thank God their birthmothers didn’t feel like you do.
That’s not exactly what I’m saying. Remember the baby that King David prayed and fasted for but it still died? I think that may somewhat be relevant. Look, nobody’s talking about late term abortion or abortion in general. I’m talking about RAPE. Would you honestly demand a loved one to go through with pregnancy knowing it could harm her health or kill her, or financially ruin her, etc., etc.? I have a wife and 5 daughters so maybe I see this differently than you do. That girl in Texas that recently got raped by 11+ guys, should she be required to bear that seed?
People who are anti-abortion take drugs?
Take a look at ExCTCitizen.
Now you went and made a funny. Unintentional, I'm sure. But side-splitting nonetheless.
Oh look, he went ape-bleep up there without any provocation, just all by his lonesome.
I became pro-life when I worked in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I saw babies born (and survive) as early as 20 weeks after conception. Literally down the hall, in the same hospital, babies who were older were being killed in abortion. The only difference I could see between the two was that the babies in the NICU were wanted by their mothers and the babies in the “Fertility Control Clinic” were not. That’s a pretty poor basis for deciding who has a right to live and who doesn’t.
I've used:
Zealot.
Imbecile.
Leo is Pro Life.
Who is using nasty names here, FRiend?
Based on your posts in this thread, you sound more like the "personally opposed, but" type.
It's hard to be a FReeper sometimes when jerks like you go ape**** on me for no reason.
Read my posts.
Then respond to me directly.
Why be such an extremist tool?
Your attributing a posters comment to Johnson. Gary’s not the strongest social conservative, but he doesn’t think that way.
And yes, I know him.
Odd then, isn't it, that no one believes you.
