That's true, RubyK! I miss him!
The best thing the fool in the WH has, as well as many other republicans, is fear and hate. That's all their mindless and weak supporters need - someone to hate and someone to blame instead of themselves. It's their MO. Always has been and always will be. Hate and division revs them up. They mindlessly shout, and scream, and rant at his stupid rallies. All he has to offer is hate and suspicion and that's really all they want. They're too stupid to realize unity is better for a nation than division. It's a win/win for unreasonable people and their evil leader.

How can they think it's any of their business what others do with their lives? Evidently these folks that want to impose their on beliefs on others, and control other people's behavior(and money) are NOT at all familiar with the Constitution or the entire story of why and how the Colonists became Americans, and made the enormous decision to gain freedom from England. |

Sure they are. They just don't care because the bible trumps the Constitution in their world.
They believe the bible was written by their God. A best seller too! Lol. The Constitution penned by simple humans.
See why the GOP loves them so much?

The best way is how Buddha taught to be open and show compassion and kindness to all sentient beings no matter if they foolish, they are only foolish unto themselves There are people because of ignorance or fear that will be obnoxious Sadly one can no reason with them. I am lesbian my partner identified herself as bisexual we not expect to be bothered. In my faith, there is no prohibition against homosexuality so why do people here make such big deal it is odd.  |

Christianity has become a billion dollar business. The more you can motivate people to give dollars to your "church" for the causes they will take to heart, the bigger building... bigger plane... bigger cars... bigger salaries... If you stick to literal Biblical teachings, you will step on too many toes and lose many who are contributing to the offering plates. You can't preach against adultery, since half the congregation is probably on their second or third marriage. You can't talk about 'bearing false witness' or 'thou shalt not steal' because many are wealthy stalwarts of the community and got that way by stealing and lying. So, the two current big issues are abortion and LGBT. Toss in marijuana and public education and you have people tossing dollars your way.
The Christian church has thrived on division. The Reformation was a huge break away from the Catholic Church. Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal, Pentecostal, etc., etc., etc... each suggesting the other is wrongly interpreting the Bible. Keep people believing YOUR teachings are the only correct ones and it will take money to keep those teachings gaining... "saving"... additional followers who will add to Sunday's "take".
Politics have been a driving force of religion for decades. If you can make people believe you are fighting the "evil" in government to save the world, they will contribute to elect people who are likewise indoctrinated. Those people, once elected, have an even bigger podium to motivate more folks to hand over their hard earned dollars.
It's a money grab... first and foremost. The specific issues are simply the narrative of the scam.

Warren explained to her, she believes a woman should be able to make her own decisions about her body and not be judged. I believe most Democrats are anti-abortion and pro-choice. I'm against abortion, but I don't believe I have a right to tell somebody unrelated to me that she can't decide for herself what is best for her. Those who believe they have the right to force women to give birth when they have an unintended/unwanted pregnancy should be forced to support those children. I'm against abortion,,, but in the case of rape and incest I'm pro-choice. In the cases of having a good time and the girl gets pregnant and the guy hits the road I strongly feel the guy be forced to step up PLUS have his nuts removed. |

Abortion no good thing but I firmly believe every woman should have choice Why is it that majority of men in Congress get to make medical decisions?? Are they doctors? It is not proceedure that I think is good, but I would defend everyone who choose to do so as it is a medical decision not for others to decide what best for individual

I'm in the same court as it appears others on the forum are. I do not believe in abortion except in the case of rape, incest, or for medical reasons to protect the life of the mother. The decisions need made by medical professionals... not dictated by legislators financed by religious zealots. IMHO, this is an area where moderates from both sides could come together with legislation that would meet that criteria. Instead, the far right constantly drives legislation to totally and completely eliminate the right for a woman to protect herself from the effects of being criminally assaulted or access to lifesaving medical procedures.

I believe, strongly,in a woman's right to decided what the hell she wants to and needs to do with her own d*mn Body! It is her choice and her choice only. She's more than an Easy Bake oven. She is a person. For the moment, in America, she is a free person who is capable of making a decision on her own.
Please be careful of others who want to control the language used when dealing with anothers life or decision. It's tricky and done on purpose.
Native Americans were savage beasts, Blacks were 1/3 human, Gays were child molesters, etc. Women who make a decision about their own bodies are murderers. Add to that list all the lies told about others by the Liar in the WH.
I believe a woman has the right to do what she wants with her own body no matter who impregnated her or how.
It's a woman's issue and a woman's choice! Why is that so difficult to understand? Perhaps women are still 2nd class citizens, too dumb to know what's right or wrong.
It's not about abortion. Its about control of another person's life. How would you like That?

I am Catholic and of course I really do not like abortions.... however.... I also believe it is each woman's choice.... it is a medical condition and it is something that each woman and her medical professional decide.... Not pendejos in Congress.....
