Those who defend Life are doing their sacred duty to protect a human life.. I second what Democratic Voice of Reason is saying - - It IS unfortunate that the hateful Right Wing is only against abortion when WHITE babies of upper class means are being aborted --- They PREFER abortion for minority children ........................ |

no......safe abortion has always been 'allowed' for the WHITE upper class; keeping up the Jones/saving face/preserving blood lines etc etc.....stupid crap....minorities/poor just had to deal because it was assumed they had 'no face'/'no god'/'no blood lines' etc etc, so why bother being an MD for them.....also remember MD's were mainly MEN..... the cast system was such that rules/legislation/regulation was made from the view of a Stockholm Syndrome-cast system.....regardless of the religion..... women were /are 'vessels' to carry humans to birth....like a kangaroo..... but the upholding of life at any cost also gets you the animals like the peckerhead in GlensFalls who tossed his own procreation to the floor...... |

Ha! Look how stupid you are. Maybe if you trace the origins you'll find out it was progressives,like yoursself,that promoted abortion to control the birth rate of 'undesireables'.....I'll let you look up the early 1900's meaning of that word. |

OK for religious beliefs to influence politics
In his Feb. 18 letter [“Why can’t everyone just live and let live?”], Mr. George W. Putman asks what people who want to make their religious dogma the law of the land don’t understand about the constitutional separation of church and state. In a representative democracy, what becomes the law of the land is what popular sentiment can cause democratically elected officials to enact. There is no proscription regarding the origins or source of that popular sentiment. The only filter against dogma, religious or otherwise, becoming law is the Constitution. The constitutional separation of church and state was never meant to exclude religious belief from infl uencing popular sentiment. Those who interpret it that way are the ones who are trying to limit freedom. So, Mr. Putman, if you believe there should be no limits on abortion, the state is the best source for sex education, the historical institution of marriage should be redefined and that all the wonders of the world evolved from some primordial glop without intelligent intervention, fi ne. You also have the right to do all in your power to influence public sentiment to enact laws that follow your beliefs. Just don’t preclude those who disagree from participation in the public arena based upon your misguided interpretation of the constitutional separation of church and state.

"There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' "

William Dimen Agree's with Goldwater. You also have the right to do all in your power to influence public sentiment to enact laws that follow your beliefs. Just don’t preclude those who disagree from participation in the public arena based upon your misguided interpretation of the constitutional separation of church and state. |
