No matter how hard you try, you can’t polish a troll.
I happen to be very sorry that this woman is dead. I am just a realist. I don't presume to make my conservatism based on a single issue. I just believe that it's counterproductive to continue to debate this topic. However, debate it I will since you continue to do so.
There is such a concept as "none of our business." This issue falls into that category. Do you think that this is the first time a person in her state was allowed to die? How long and how many thousands of dollars and how many more tears needed to be shed before the inevitable was faced? That isn't your call or mine. That is the call of the family.
In this case, the family disagreed. There was a tremendous amount of controversy. However, this matter was settled by the family through the court system. When courts become involved, one side is going to be unhappy with the decision. I presume both sides were unhappy that this woman found herself in that position. So am I. You can't find it in your heart to respectfully disagree and walk away; letting her rest in peace?
Well, I don’t stop posting because I am a Freeper, and this is a Free Republic topic. Therefore, I will have my say like everyone else.
You are suggesting that I should go to Hell because I have a different opinion than you? Is that true?
Could it be that I am not sufficiently zealous in my opposition according to your standards?
Lat time I checked, our Republic was a nation of laws. That means that until Roe v. Wade is overturned, legal abortion is the law of the land. So, if my neighbor chooses to exercise her legal right under the law, whether or not I agree with it or not, there is nothing I can do about it. The only thing I can do is exert my objection against abortion within my own family. Outside of breaking the law, I cannot prevent my neighbor from having an abortion. I choose to obey the law.
Yes, I call you a liberal disruptor and other things I reserve for critters who spout leftist mantras on pro-life threads. If you had any bone of legitimacy on these threads you would have taken the time to find out truths rather than harass and you show no comprehension or willingness to wise up.
You may be just fine and transparent on other threads but when you come here you are quickly shown for what you are. We have heard all the spew you urped up many times before and recognize it. We also recognize your techniques as standard unimaginative. You had an opportunity to learn, to become informed and to identify yourself as a real conservative rather than boasting how conservative you are and how great a FReeper you are, but your behavior lays a clear trail.
I suggest you return to DU and your other sites where you will feel more at home, and less at a strain to show you are a conservative.
You still haven't explained to me what I can do to prevent someone else from having an abortion. Outside of breaking the law, I cannot. I refuse to break the law. Are you suggesting that I break the law?
Oh my goodness. Don't get involved. Ignore it. It's nobody's business.
For the record, is that your position on all homicides, or just those of little babies and disabled women?
Do you honestly want debate on this topic, or do you prefer that everyone rubber stamp your opinion in response? I am offering my sincere opinion on the matter. Because I disagree makes me no worse a conservative than you. You say I am spouting "leftist mantras" on a pro-life thread. Well, I am pro-life. I do not believe in abortion. I wouldn't be involved in any abortion. If my wife tried to have an abortion, outside of the pregnancy being a threat to her life, I would do everything within my power to prevent it from happening. The same goes for my daughters.
But, I have no authority in anyone else's life. I am not "allowing" others to have abortions." I have no power to prevent others from having an abortion except committing an crime. I will not commit a crime to prevent my neighbor from having an abortion. If she asks my opinion, I will tell her that I do not believe in abortion, and think it's wrong. However, beyond that what would you suggest I do?
As for the Terry Schiavo matter, I have repeatedly stated that I am sorry that she is dead. However, the matter was settled by a judge's order. The family chose to use the courts because of their disagreement on whether or not her medical status offered any hope of recovery. As I understand it, many believe that her husband was responsible for the state she was in.
But, to the best of my knowledge, no charges have ever been brought against her husband by any district attorney. To the best of my knowledge there are no plans to bring any charges against him, but I welcome corrections on this issue. Remember, the fact that someone is constantly urging the district attorney to bring charges does not constitute official plans to bring charges.
That business aside, the matter is legally closed. That is why I urge everyone to move on and let her rest in peace.
People like you are why Terri was exposed to the more vehement death mongers ... if people were more outspoken in the decades prior, standing against the evil perspective which embraced executing Terri, Floriduh might have handled the husband’s efforts to ‘put her down’ differently. You’re a disgusting liberal.
If you take out religion, murder is a felony. It's ILLEGAL.
You are certainly craving attention. Self centeredness is wrecking this country imo.
Troll gone
Shucks I didn’t get to post my last one. In a minute or two the fumes will blow downwind and be gone.
Sure you did. It's in your thoughts, dummy.
Unfortunately, contrary to your opinion of yourself, you are a worse conservative and a worse human being for arguing on the side of deathbots instead of for safety and liberty for disabled people.
Zots do that.
I got the last in...
Late in the day? I thought it was morning. Those dang cheap clocks!
I missed alot here since yesterday. Good job all !
