I'm personally anti-abortion, but don't vote based on abortion. I'm happy that it's going to be banned in many states and not happy that they will be killing 5 year olds in others, but the federal system exists for a reason and I support that. What’s your stance on child hunger and the hundreds of thousands in foster care? Maybe increase taxes to help? No? Didn’t think so. George Carlin had a great bit on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we should increase taxes, I think we should spend money more wisely. How many kids could we feed with $40B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at the world with a lens that would rather seek peace and compromise instead of the constant gridlock and set in political sides butting heads. Some issues are just not easy to compromise. Abortion is one of those areas. I kind of straddle the fence because being of the opinion that I hate abortion but vote for the right to choose. It is a position that I wish women wouldnt need to face nearly as often as does happen. as far as politicos go yeah there are some watershed issues that guide a persons vote. Id have t choose the democrat because of issues like this one. I just dont feel the government has the right to say what I do with my own body. I think he timing of when abortions are allowed to happen would be very valid compromise for women who aren't otherwise medically indicated Me too, Mup. I'm moderate in many ways as well, get along with people quite nicely and really view the voting process as "Who is the candidate that will hurt me least?". As for abortion, it always struck me that somewhere between conception and birth just about every sensible person became pro-life. Again, I was wrong. A woman's right to choose is a fair concept, but I'm not uncomfortable attaching my vote to a woman's right to choose at 40 weeks is reasonable across the board. Somewhere between conception and 3...maybe 4 months seems reasonable to me, but hey, I'm just an old guy with grown children. I think the government already tells you some things you can and cannot do with your body, Mup. Drugs, suicide, alcohol and smokes, come to mind. I also think the government is a real crackerjack with the close cousin of "My body my rules" and that's telling people what they must do with the fruits of their labor, or the moral obligation one has to another in certain situations. I don't argue with people on this issue, Mup, it's a waste of time and issues can be misconstrued. I'll go back to the basics and suggest that if the ruling was problematic to begin with, why not just be honest about that and deal with the outcome? I'll tell you why---conflict drives votes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, because if we were to create founding documents upon which the entire government is built, we should allow a few folks rewrite it willy nilly. You want to change the constitution, call a convention of states. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
