""A direct act of abortion, it seems to me, is not justifiable. An act directed towards protecting the mother that results in the death of the child may be justifiable."" SO - "Abortion" is never Ok. But "Clinical removal of an embryo that will end a dangerous pregnancy" is Okie?

That wasn't Roaddog, that was me, Casper. "Pro-Lifers" want very much to make any and all abortion illegal and therefore unavailable. When that happens, a woman with a dangerous pregnancy WILL NOT be able to choose to save their own life, the legislature will have made that choice for them. EDIT to add,,, I'm a father and…

When a proud member of the Christaliban called my friends 15 year old daughter a *kitten* on the sidewalk in front of a clinic that doesn't even provide abortion services, they both knew the score.

Pick one. Either you ""do not support abortion for any reason"" OR you accept that "" then of course the woman has the right to make the choice"". They are mutually exclusive statements.

I am the way and the light, none comes to the father but through me.

What I meant was that if you hear the voice of G-d you are hearing a voice inside your head. There are only 2 ways that can happen. Either - A) There really is a G-d, and he really is talking to you,,, OR - B) You are having an auditory hallucination. You're a prophet OR you're having a mental health event. One or the…

"Governor Huckabee, are you saying that you believe only Baptists go to heaven?" "Oh no, not at all. I don't think all of the Baptists are going to make it... (Hehehehe)". I grew up southern baptist, and my minister said in plain terms that over 90% of humanity would end up in hellfire. It was a pretty exclusionary little…

If you talk to G-d, you're spiritual. If G-d talks back, you are either a prophet or a schizophrenic. Discuss,,, :smile:

Pics or it didn't happen,,,

Please post tips for guyz. In all my pictures I look like a walrus. I don't really look like a walrus, my mom said so. Help me take pictures where I don't look like a walrus. Advice that will make me look like a manatee is not helpful either. Thanks for your support.

Not a choice. Many kids like this are genetically female or hormonally female or both. 1 human being in 1500 is not strictly either/or female/male in medical and genetic terms. Imagine if you felt like you feel and were who you are and yet somehow, inexplicably, you had a vajayjay. That's kind'a what this is like, and you…

That's pretty good, I gotta try that. My birthday is in July, and this year it falls on a Saturday. Nice LONG motorcycle ride, maybe leave friday night and treat myself to a motel room and a good dinner. Spend most of the B'day riding and maybe visiting some wierd attraction that I'd love and the rest of the fam would…

Everybody remembers my birthday, but nobody cares. B'days quit being a big deal after about,,, 11.

Now I'm not gonna say that the crap food industry is what makes us fat. It's our own fault, nobody makes us eat that garbage. But this sure don't help. It's "Only" 1,550 calories if you make the soda a diet,,,, hehehehe... :laugh:

Windy - by "The Association" My wife is 3 months younger, hers was "The letter",,, originally recorded by "The box tops" and later covered by Joe Cocker among others. Had to google those. Kickin' music in those days

I've been in and out of here a lot over the past 3 years or so. Lost a bunch of weight, got injured and off the wagon and stupid, back now. I have lots of MFP amigos, and some are more 'supportive' than others. Don't take it personally, people come and go, enthusiasm waxes and wanes. You know what to do and how to do it.

What's the alternative - a bunch of new laws regulating how a private firm can do business? Lenox Hill Hospital is a business, it doesn't belong to the sity/county/state/fed... I'd guess it belongs to a group of stockholders. Corporations can be profoundly amoral, so it you got the money they got the time. I didn't see…

Lenox Hill Hospital appears to be a private business. If you got the money they got the time...

Old spice something. I dunno. It's a big red crayon that I swab me pits with in the morning. It helps ma to not stink so bad. Or something.

I've never been divorced, but I can tell you what my wife did 9 days after hers became final. She married me :laugh:

Rice with butter and a little salt. The real problem is that I have to cook it. I feed a fam of 5, my 2 year old grandson loves rice, you gotta put some kind of starch on the table, rice-taters-pasta-corn-something. So once or twice a week I do a cooker of rice and have too much of it and ya',,, My other biggie is…

I'm deeply spiritual, and I sense and feel and understand what you're talking about Orpheus. I sense the presence of something larger than myself. The issue I have is that over the millenia there have been hundreds of interpretations of this,,, and every single one of them claims their interpretation to be the correct one…

I was the boat engineer on the boat that brought the talent to my ship for a USO show in the Med in 1987. Met country singer Lane Brody (very sweet) and Lee Greenwood (major league a-hole).

You have lost a smallish woman! (wow!)

You got lei'ed. :laugh:

I am agnostic, I cannot be other. Agnostic means "I don't know", and I don't. I have ideas, I have listened to a lot of ideas, and a lot of theories, but at the end of the day I don't know. I won't pretend that I do.

It didn't make me question religion - I was already doing that, but it made me question why my parents were lying to me. Let's not undersell this. My parents tried to tell me that a fat man in a red suit magically came down a chimney that we didn't have and left presents. I remember being 4 years old and literally…
