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.

Do you like to answer a question when the answer doesn't fit your ideas? I don't



As for abortion... Let me ask you something... I mean this in a strict sense, not how the Supreme Court twisted it with an activist group of justices.

Being a man..how does the SC decision affect you??

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.

Sorry to say this but that decision was reinforced in 1865. There really don't seem to be any State's Rights as the Constitution delineated them. Too Late now. Get a grip.


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

Not any more...see above.

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.

Then shut up about abortion. When you are able to have one I will support your decison..whichever way you decide.

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...

We already have ALL of those things you mention. Doesn't change the way I think or do. In fact..the reasons I can not support Obama are contained in that statement. He wants more of the above.

[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...


Well I guess for you that is your idea of life. Many others do not feel that way. To deny a woman the choice to do with her body what she deems necessary is not in your purview..You step on someone else's rights when you do..Something it seems you abhor(destroying someone else's right)


I've been down the abortion path in my lifetime twice,

Sorry you have been involved with that..seriously


I'm not advocating that we change our abortion laws, but if one was to move to change them I'd support it.

Yes you are.Your statement actually says that. You WOULD support it and seem to want to


It would make our country a much better place where people would have to live with consequences.

Sorry but I disagree with the above statement..That my friend is YOUR OPINION. Nothing other than that. If a woman chooses to have an abortion..she is the one who has to live with the consequences...not you. Are you going to deny her any rights? Point the finger?? Or what??

If you ask if I support abortion..My answer is I am a man. Hopefully I will never become pregnant..thank goodness..and I feel I have NO RIGHT telling any woman what she can or can't do with HER body. I really do not want to usurp HER rights as you seem to want to do. Personally I doubt if I could choose that way. Not dissing ya but you can't have it both ways as you seemed to believe in your above post.. And now my friend..I truly am done. As there is no way to win an argument..from either side. It is just too much of an emotional issue..and you know it. So let's leave the issues alone. YOU can not change someone else's mind, I fear. Especially with an argument!

Aloha...
