Let me tell you how much I fear you.
I have voted Republican for 35 years. If I thought that the anti-free choice faction of the Republican party would prevail due a Republican in office, I would change my vote. I would be willing to subject myself to the many evils of a liberal government if that was the only way I could keep free choice. I would grit my teeth and accept more gun control, higher taxes, bigger government and all the rest of the stink of a liberal government to avoid anti-free choice prevailing.
I am not the only conservative that feels this. I know numerous long time republicans who voted for Gore in this last election due to this one issue. I tried to persuade them them that Bush was too smart to allow anti-free choice to prevail. I tried, but I was not successful. I hope I was right.
This one issue could well drag the Republican party into insignificance. After eight years of Klinton and considering that he was running against numb nuts Gore, Bush should have won with a landslide. Bush almost lost. He almost lost because loyal Republicans like me fear the anti-free choice movement.
It is not just this issue of Free Choice that frightens us. It is everything that it stands for. The Free Choice fundamentalists have a long agenda which anti-free choice is the vanguard for. Open the gates to anti-free choice and you open the gates to many unthinkable restrictions of individual freedom.
It is so very sad to see this issue dragging down so many other fine principles with it.
Why you call yourself a Conservative or Republican I will not know.
How selfish can you be. How brainwashed can you be to believe that a living human being who has a heartbeat, who is moving, and who can feel pain, is not a human, I will never understand it.
Trust me, hon, your ilk are not in the majority, and polls reveal that the pro-choice (abortion) percentage is down to roughly 1/4 of the population. This is down from nearly half five years ago. Have you noticed how the media has eased up on it's propagandic choice and evil pro-lifers campaign? They realize that people are being educated, and that the murder of unborn children doesn't fly anymore. I always knew that it was murder, but some people seem to be lacking in common sense. I mean, have you seen the first trimester pictures (babies that, apparently to you, aren't human) of babies ripped up? That's choice? That's not killing life? Give it up.
I notice how you seem so dedicated to put your point across. Give or take a few, you are far outnumbered, and your opinion is hogwash. It doesn't hold any factual basis. To me, it's about you not being able to face the responsibility for your actions. All this talk of "potential human" is bogus, and if there is potentiality it is before there is an infusion of sperm and egg. You know, before the two cells meet.
I have noticed how you have come out harshly against the Bible. I don't know why you feel the need to do this. Yes, the Bible speaks about murder, and yes I believe every word of it. Yet, I would think that you would realize that abortion is murder and in our society, murder is condemned. Thus, when you see those pictures of ripped babies, are you saying that's not murder. Doesn't make sense does it?
It's very derogatory to talk about God's Word the way you have been doing. What, do you not believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died on the Cross for your sins, and that He is the only way to Heaven? Do you not believe anything about His Life, His miracles, His ressurrection? I don't know why you are so negative towards the Bible, because opening up your heart to God will be the best thing that ever happened to you. Try reading the Bible and, or, use supplementary material if need be. From what I hear, Lee Strobel's, "The Case For Christ", and "The Case For Faith", are excellent books.
Really, I don't mean to condemn you, but I honestly do not understand, despite all the factual evidence, how you can believe abortion okay and unjustified.
