I'm not sure how much press it gets across the pond, but it's just 24/7 over here and we still have M-O-N-T-H-S to go. I'm so sick of all the campaigns.

It is a very touchy topic indeed but I can imagine how you must feel after reading that post. I'm very outspoken and my vote goes to Obama because I believe he's just what the US needs after this long period with Bush.webmaster wrote:I can feel my blood pressure rising after reading the comments above!
That is such a mixture of predjuce and ignorance.
We really shouldn't talk about politics!
I really don't want to bring this back up, but after reading this I feel I have something I want to say. If my family believed in abortion, I would not be here today. Nor would 1 of my aunts, and 1 of my cousins.. If I was raped, I'd still keep the baby. Because raped, or not, that baby is still half mine. It still has part of me in it.. I don't know, I guess it's just a personal choice..BSDDomi wrote:Regarding abortion. I would never let the church or anyone else for that matter tell me what to do with my body. It's my body and if someone raped me I would never want to carry that child or if the pregnancy would mean complications for the mother and/or child. There are perfectly good reasons to abort.
Keep an open mind. Do what you'd do and think you're right, not what someone else thinks or tells you. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. There's a saying Do as you would be done by and there's a lot of truth to that saying.
I agree. That's my whole point. It's our body and we, as a woman, know what's right. I wouldn't want to carry the child of a rapist not because it wouldn't be a part of me or I wouldn't love it, I love kids but it would constantly remind me of the situation it was conceived.Theodomus wrote:It definitely is every person's own choice and that is why nobody should be told what she has to do.
Counselling, support, offers of help - Yes please. But the final decision can only be made by one person.
You're definitely right, Rum!Surely being a muslim should not stand in the way of being head of a democracy or impairs one's ability to be a good leader. Or am I an idealist?
I think that's only true on a case by case basis, certainly not as a rule. Here in L.A. not a month goes by that there isn't a news story of a (usually dead) baby found thrown in a trash dumpster.BSDDomi wrote:It's our body and we, as a woman, know what's right.
And here in California you can leave your baby at a hospital or fire station with no questions asked or charges filed, but these women choose to throw these babies in the trash to die. So the assumption that women automatically know what's right in this area is sadly mistaken.
When did I type that??? Well, I'm sorry for the error.. I don't remember writing it.. It was probably from a long time ago..Theodomus wrote:And Megan, Obama is NOT a muslim and his name is NOT "Osama". We shouldn't let mistakes stand here uncorrected.
Yes, you're absolutely right. I don't approve of that either. It's our responsiblity to make sure that if we can't have and take care of the child to give it to someone who can. It's sheer horror to see what some of these women are capable of doing, they throw their babies out of the window, beat them. It's also very important, that at a very early age, teenagers are made aware of the consquences of pregnancy and to use the birth control pill and a condom. That's why I think it's so important that we don't act like upholders of moral standards like Palin, McCain and co do...it needs to be discussed in public. And if these people were more open I bet Sarah Palin's daughter would not be pregnant now.John M wrote: And here in California you can leave your baby at a hospital or fire station with no questions asked or charges filed, but these women choose to throw these babies in the trash to die.
