I'm wrong? You're wrong!!!!

A picture?



If someone wants to cut in, I usually let them.
I don't take it personally, they need to get over, usually, and what's the point of trying to prevent that?

KK,

I would like you to rethink my plastic choice.

When you use plastic instead of paper you can fit alot more on your plate... and when thrown in a fire pit it does melt, with cool colors!

I don't get the 'skydog'

Wellstone was not pro-abortion. He was against making it illegal. I sent him my alternative faith-based abortion position not long before he died and he wrote me a personal letter stating his position.

I think some of it stems from his reform judaism, which I believe tends to stress relying on individual conscience over rules in personal matters.

I'll post what he wrote sometime if I can.

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

The PBAban did not prevent any abortions.

What really was at issue is the legal redefinition of when human personhood should begin. Wellstone thought that abortion may prove to be the lesser of two evils and that the unborn was not a human being yet and opposed making all abortions illegal again.

DLW,

How is a ban on late term abortions have ANYTHING to do with "making all abortions illegal"???

Are you playing devel's advocate or do you believe this crap?
...the unborn was not a human being yet... Good lord!!

I'm not pro-homosexuality, but I'm against outlawing gay marriage. I'm not pro-drugs, but I'm against prohibition. I'm not pro-Steven Curtis Chapman, but I'm against making his music illegal. I'm not pro-divorce, but I'm against making it illegal. I'm not pro-suicide, but I'm against making it illegal. I'm not pro-lottery, but I'm against making it illegal.

Just because a majority is against something, doesn't give them a moral imperative to make that thing illegal.

IMHO, majority rule is just a pretty version of might-makes-right.

I'm not pro-rape, but I'm against making rape illegal....

There has to be a line drawn somewhere in the "Just because a majority is against something, doesn't give them a moral imperative to make that thing illegal" argument.

Right?
