I rarely vote republican, but I do like McCain better than Obama and will probably vote Republican this time. (I know I'm outside of your stated parameters...lol)
I am DISGUSTED by the religious right. BTW...several years ago a friend gave me a bumper sticker that said "The Religious Right is Neither."It's on my guitar case...lol.

Do you think that all of these poor people, people with serious mental illness, minorities are all in prison because they really are guilty more often than the more affluent folks? Or is it because people do get a break because of their social standing? Or what?--

According to snopes.com:
False rumors and half truths circulating on the internet about John McCain = 2
False rumors and half truths circulating on the internet about Barack Obama = 26
Does this mean GOP supporters are 13 times as likely to be liars as Dem supporters?
Half truths are still half true. :)
Have you ever thought that maybe there's a reason you are required to tell "the whole truth" and not "the half truth" in court.
Rumors circulating on the internet aren't quite the same as testimony under oath. It's the nature of gossip to be embellished and changed over time, so even though a rumor may not be the whole truth, it's not necessarily a lie either...just rumor. Maybe Republicans are just more likely to be busy-bodies.

I think they do fare better in the legal system, but not because they get a break, but because they have better legal representation. If you're getting free services, they're probably not gonna be the best that money can buy....

There is less lock-stepping on the left than the right.
That's only because of the tendency of *some* people to categorize a person as a neo-con as soon as they have a thought that falls out of step with an extreme liberal position. Kinda screws up the statistics...lol.

Spam, corn, and beans! (creamed corn and pork & beans). We grew up on it. A few years ago, my brother was through my house on Christmas Eve. He was getting ready to leave to go to my dad's when he realized that I was making spam, corn, and beans. His eyes got big, and he said, "Spam, corn, and beans? I haven't had that in so long!" He stayed for dinner. :)--

...you are either pro (for) abortion or anti (against) abortion.
That's not a fair statement. I understand this is a very emotional issue for many people.
Regardless of whether it's fair or not, it's not accurate.--

if you believe it to be that way, we can go with that. That part isn't what's important, imho.--

The clump of cells, whether developing into a human or not, isn't sacred to me. A woman's life and wellbeing trumps it's right to become a person. In the case of a rape, I cannot stretch my beliefs about this far enough to justify, in any way, our government forcing her to carry a pregnancy to term that resulted from the rape.
I can accept that some people believe differently. For those people, aborting the fetus would be wrong. But those folks have NO business telling any other woman that she must carry that pregnancy to term.

I believe....
And what you believe doesn't trump what I believe. Let your beliefs guide your behavior while my beliefs guide mine.

It behooves those who wish to procur an abortion or who wish to sustain abortion rights to ensure they are NOT terminating the life of a human life.
A big problem with that argument is that whether it's a human life or not just isn't the issue for many. Your belief that human life is sacred, even when it's no more than a clump of cells, isn't shared by all. Your religious beliefs (if that's what forms the basis for your opinion here) has no bearing on me and shouldn't be the basis for laws that affect decisions about me and my body.

That goes without saying. :)--

In other words, you are either pro-choice or anti-choice.Quote

I have not probem with being called Anti Choice, Anti Abortion, or Pro Life. Why do Pro Abortion, Pro Choice, or Anti Life (No one uses this one) have a problem with being called any one of these.
I don't have a problem with you calling me those things, but they're not accurate. There are probably (hopefully) very few people whom all three of those descriptors fit.

QuoteQuoteLife starts with conception.
Even if it does, so what? It still has no feelings about its own life, no knowledge of its existence. It has NOTHING, other than a little more potential, to separate it from any other two cells with half a set of chromosomes each. So early termination of a pregnancy isn't causing it any kind of pain. Life, for life's sake in that case, isn't sacred, imho.
linz
Do you think that a newborn that is thrown in a dumpster and dies within an hour truely has "knowledge of its own existance"?
Killing a newborn is not early termination of a pregnancy. There are a lot of qualities that a newborn has that separate it from any other two cells with half a set of chromosomes each. And yes it has knowledge of its own existence. It feels. It has a brain.

Abortion should be allowed REGARDLESS of whether the pregnancy resulted from rape.

Hellyeah. With 24 hrs notice, everybody in LA should have their shit together and themselves out of there. Good to see folks who have at least some compassion.

Did you ever know a child who repeatedly acted out knowing their behavior would end in punishment? They did this because negative attention was preferable to no attention at all.
Ummm...yes.
