You KNOW it's a slanted questionaire but what does that matter if the representations are accurate? They are hitting hot button issues between the campaigns.

As for abortion... Let me ask you something... Where in the constitution does the right to choose have anything to do with the Federal Government? I mean this in a strict sense, not how the Supreme Court twisted it with an activist group of justices.

This is how the Feds wind up getting into our business. This is a States rights issue and these kinds of decisions are what led to these decisions on Gay Marriage and a host of others. Our country needs to run on the original platform, not some meandering live document that some states rights issue is challenged by some yoyo and throws it into Federal Court because as a minority they feel that their feelings are hurt the majority don't wanna do it their way.

Abortion and Gay Rights, and a host of other issues are not Civil Rights Issues, they are State's rights issues.

Back to abortion. This country gave you inalienable rights. THAT IS IN THE CONSTITUTION. No one has the right to take that away from you. Now abortion.. you give the Federal Government too much power, they will change your life in ways you can't imagine. You'll have food police, speech police, thought police (public radio), you'll have them re-educating your children... http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArti...05420655186700 Now I don't know how credible investors daily news is, but they are promoting things that are fairly easy to check out... as are Obamas two books.

Back to abortion... This should be a states rights issue rather than a federal one especially on an issue of inalienable rights... you are giving any woman the right to choose... when does conception start? For most of us, I think, life starts with conception... when there is that cateclysmic collision of chromosomes that sets off a chain of events that marvels even the the events of a nuclear reaction and much more sophisticated...

I've been down the abortion path in my lifetime twice, and without getting into the details of these most unfortunate events, let me say I've been there done that and though I was not carrying the baby, there is a lot to beg forgiveness for.

I'm not advocating that we change our abortion laws, but if one was to move to change them I'd support it. It would make our country a much better place where people would have to live with consequences.

Aloha...
