Not sure some of them rise to the level of college student recently.
Spiff, I'm completely on your side in this debacle, but I've gotta say, I think that graphic is pretty funny. Wear it as a badge of honor. I wish I were well-known enough on FR that someone would make a graphic about me.
I would cheer for making abortion totally illegal. I, for one, do not believe that a little bit of murder is OK.
I also believe that if you allow an exception for rape or incest that you are executing the wrong person. You should be executing the guilty father and not the innocent child.
As for the life of the mother exception - I believe that is a straw dog. The numbers of abortions that would be allowed for that exception would far exceed the number of mothers whose life would actually be in jeopardy. Besides, we are stepping on God's turf when we take upon ourselves to decide which life is worth more than another.
"If you seriously believe that, then your problem is a larger one than immaturity."
The only problem I have is with pretend conservatives on FR promoting a liberal candidate. Hillary appreciates your support.
I'm going to have to drink heavily in order to stomach sitting through a debate between those two.
"some people never learn". Do not try to mind other people's business any more than absolutely necessary, especially on "moral" grounds. If you are so overcome with heartburn/morality reflux that it overflows, then remember the injunction about a beam in one's own eye and direct your moral efforts to self-improvement.
see # 446.
Yeah, let them die. Might as well repeal laws against murder. None of my business.
Laura Ingrahm is just finished reaing this article on the air.
"I have a real problem with Mormons"
Why?
None of your business, absolutely correct. See # 446 and take care of the beam in your own eye before attempting to play an ophtalmologist.
Proud of that dead-soul are ya?
Secondly, there is a Republican candidate in the race who CAN defeat Hillary or Obama and is running on a conservative plank, Mitt Romney.
Why?
Personal experience with their non Christian doctrine and their bait and switch evangelism.
How many here who are against abortion have ever helped out in a clinic or financially supported one? I know our church has one and rather than yell and scream about who's anti-abortion or pro-life, it would be much better to help out those women who at this very moment are contemplating whether to end a human life or not. I have never thought we would change the issue up at the government level - it is a moral, heart issue that needs local efforts, changing the hearts of the women who are making this decision.
The poster's argument is a typical appeal to Catholics to ignore the conscience that was shaped by Catholic teaching.
People used to marry when the consequences caught up with them. There will come a day when that practice again becomes preferential to abortion.
>> 1) No single position should be a "disqualifier".

There are lots of single issue voters who hold "this" or "that" to be inviolable and refuse to ally with anyone who doesn't support their point of view in its entirety.
I'm sure it gives them warm cockles of self-righteousness all over their insides.
It's also a recipe for getting beaten like a red headed step child at election time.
As a Catholic, I find the twice divorced, thrice married, pro-homosexual union, pro-choice Catholic Guiliani despicable.
I support the candidacy of the once married, never divorced, father of five, grandfather of ten, MORMON Romney.
What kind of clinic do you mean?
"it would be much better to help out those women who at this very moment are contemplating whether to end a human life or not. I have never thought we would change the issue up at the government level "
I believe the issue has to be fought at EVERY level, and at various points in my life have fought it at EVERY level.
