But you want to take away a woman's right to make a responsible decision for herself and the child, and the people who otherwise would have to care for the child when it becomes a criminal or is living on the street stealing food for its meth-head parents. it sounds cynical but it's true. if i were a fetus and my choice was that or to go straight to heaven, i'd choose heaven. <BR/><BR/>basically what it comes down to is i cant stand the thought of a girl sticking a wire up her hoohoo and hurting not only the baby, but herself. we live in an imperfect world and i think it's best if we adjust to it. i'm not saying "kill babies." i'm not even saying that i myself would have an abortion. But i think in this day and age it is a choice a woman very much deserves to have. <BR/><BR/>sorry if this topic got out of hand. i figure that since you put it out there on your blog, then you must welcome a difference of opinion. i know it's been a while, but i think you remember how opinionated i am. isn't that why we were friends in the first place? :) dont be mad at meAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970013184152362648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656957345851023090.post-83426049688610441442008-10-28T05:23:00.000-07:002008-10-28T05:23:00.000-07:00As far as abortion goes, the number will increase ...As far as abortion goes, the number will increase if we OK it legally. What about that baby's right to be born? I am not judging the person who is having the abortion, but that does not mean that I can't uphold what I believe is right and wrong. I have several friends who have had abortions, sadly and I don't judge them as a person, but I don't agree with the act of killing a baby. <BR/>That is just the tip of the ice burg for me on why I will not vote for Obama. Are you aware that if he tried to get a job with the FBI they would not even hire him because of his "relationships" with those who want to harm America. He plays it off like, well, we are not best friends so this does not matter but he seeks council from some of these people. <BR/>Because I am a small business owner it makes it even harder for me to think about Obama being president because I know I am going to get taxed like crazy so that those who won't get off their butts to go get a job can eat and have babies for free. I am speaking from experience here. I am living in medicaid world right now. I was just at the WIC office last week and will go again this week for our foster son...and his mom is too lazy to get a JOB! I am not saying that welfare is bad all together because I know there are some people who really need it-but it enables lazy people. I could go on about that but I cant really think with noisy kids. Kids that I have worked my butt off to pay for, whose food I have to buy out of my own pocket. <BR/><BR/>All in all, when Obama becomes president I will pray for him because he will be our country's leader-but I will also be scared for what faces America.<BR/><BR/>Us Americans have it so good-what the heck are we complaining for anyway? Even the poorest of the poor here in America have it better than the poor in other countries. The grass is always greener on the other side.<BR/><BR/>No president is going to "fix" all of our problems. I think it is time Americans start taking responsibility for our own actions.Dru, Asher, Quinn, & Asahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979374307033635284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656957345851023090.post-52742814969927386022008-10-27T19:50:00.000-07:002008-10-27T19:50:00.000-07:00asher i love you too but this is so disappointing....asher i love you too but this is so disappointing.. on the abortion thing, you act like having an abortion is something girls do together on a friday night to have fun. abortions are not fun for anyone involved. it is ALWAYS a difficult decision, but it is a decision women have a right to make for themselves. the fact is, abortions are going to happen whether it is legal or not. if a girl does not want to have a baby, she is not having that baby. that is where coat hanger wires come in and it really gets dangerous. if you really need to judge someone on abortion, then judge the woman having the abortion, not the man that is giving her the right to have it safely. put yourself in the position of someone who's life is not as wonderful as yours. those are the people that Jesus helped, and those are the people Obama wants to help. <BR/><BR/>and i have been following the election closely and the only person who has changed his views according to who he is talking to is John McCain. as a small business owner, asher, it really suprises me that you would support the person who does not want to support you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970013184152362648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656957345851023090.post-39524609596427865762008-10-27T16:28:00.000-07:002008-10-27T16:28:00.000-07:00PS Kim, I still love you! :)PS Kim, I still love you! :)Dru, Asher, Quinn, & Asahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979374307033635284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656957345851023090.post-20123963512952700832008-10-27T16:27:00.000-07:002008-10-27T16:27:00.000-07:00Kim, close minded or not, facts are facts on when ...Kim, close minded or not, facts are facts on when Obama supports and does not support...<BR/><BR/>Has anyone voting for him noticed he voted "present" which means MAYBE 90% of the times he cast a ballot?
