sensationalized statement ABM......walk a mile in someone's not so precious circumstances....you should see the tears and anguish of a traumatized unprepared victim of sexual assault facing this dilemma and give it some serious humanitarian consideration. You should visit a clinic where discarded crack addicted babies are being cared for by volunteers only to suffer and die ...the door is a two way door...the good story and the bad one. Choices are individual and that freedom is precious. Some cultures justify murdering rape victims by public stoning for religious law....I think forcing these problems underground is cruel and inhumane treatment with no consideration for the right to choose one's destiny. Teach your children your truth...at the same time allow others to teach their own truth as well...in America these choices are imperative to our greatness as a society.
Gosh, I doubt it would be worse. At least we wouldn't hear 10 times a day that the media is the enemy of the people or the constant personal insults to various congressmen and other authorities. The multitude of issues this president has just keep piling up. I'm proud to be an American, but I am definitely not proud to have a president like we do.
Here's the problem for me as someone who votes independent for the most part because I am very much against what the two-party system has turned into.
I don't think I misread anything....I said there are good and bad stories but my point is, both sides need legal recourse for their beliefs and sense of responsibility and one side does not get to dictate that to the other side ….there's nothing more personal or emotionally challenging than making that choice and women in America and across the globe have spoken out to protect that right...as it stands both camps of belief have the same rights....you're saying only the one you subscribe to should. I'm saying it's better off in the hands of professional health care specialists...including counselors...but in reality a 13 year old girl probably doesn't think about sex education or parenting and weird creepy uncle is not seeking counseling and probably slept through sex ed in high school. These issues in society are always case by case issues....for the record I argue this issue with my sister all the time who's a staunch irish catholic and shares your views
I'm not sure who the current group of candidates are. I actually liked Gary Johnson for the most part. There's certainly some of "voting against" the two parties, but I also find most of the third-party candidates have been Libertarian and I'd typically vote that direction more so than the other smaller parties. Keep in mind I wasn't old enough to vote until 2003, 2004 (I wasn't even in the country for most of the 2004 election cycle I was in Canada) was the first "presidential candidate" I could vote for and I didn't really care enough about this stuff to care until the 2008 election and I don't remember who I voted for then. So your version of "recent decades" doesn't apply to me as much because I haven't even been old enough to vote for multiple decades.
