And just why do you suppose there are school shootings and mothers murdering their kids more often than ever before? I myself think it just might have something to do with the "official" sanctioning of baby murder. How can ANYONE think that killing babies won't spill over into our society in other nefarious ways? I'd say that officially sanctioned murder of little babies goes a long way towards desensitizing people towards other forms of murder. If one can kill an innocent little baby, what would be so hard in killing someone who might not be as innocent?
I also believe that you don't care if people in the military, police, firefighters, EMS, etc. are pro-life or pro-choice, just as long as they do what they can to save or defend your family's life in an emergency and hence, what Gov. Ridge's personal choices are should not matter as long as he does the job he was picked to do.
It is politically expedient to be "pro-choice" these days. That is due to years of brainwashing thanks to the media and those who allowed this to happen in the first place. Those you mention have been desensitized to think that killing of babies is ok if the mother feels it to be a good idea. The mother thinks it's ok because that's what people have told her. How did we as a people ever get to where we are now?
Regardless of any of this, I'm a bit apprehensive about Gov. Ridge not just because he himself feels baby killing is ok, but because he also feels that US Citizens don't need assault weapons. Being the fact he'll be the head of some yet undefined "Home Security" agency, this causes me to worry about the future of our Country as we know it.
Because parents (and schools to an extent) these days have done a lousy job of raising their kids. The liberals want to blame video games and guns for these problems, but the truth is, parents have let their kids down. They didn't set examples, they didn't punish them when they misbehaved. They didn't spend time with them.
When we were all kids we probably had more access to guns and were trained to use them than kids these days (at least I was), but we didn't shoot our schools up, because we knew it was wrong.
The media and the liberals want to focus on guns and video games and movies, but that's a cop-out, they aren't trying to figure out what allowed them to even consider the things they do. It's the same with sex as well.
It all begins at the home. There are still parents out there raising good kids who will become good adults. But some parents would rather let others raise their kid, and then they wonder "where did the kids go wrong". The kids didn't, the parents did.
