it gets political when people vote against abortion and for a war. they say that abortion is wrong because the 'child has no voice' but the childern in iraq who are blown to smithereens in the name of democracy don't have much of a say either, yet they support doing anything we have to in order to get what we want in Iraq. It's a potent example.

i do get what you're saying about politicizing the conversation, but this is one of those issues that sort of necessarily has to be politicized. these people who want to legislate morality so that we do not live in a chaotic "anything goes" society -- they are well served to make sure they aren't doing the same things they are denouncing, ya know?
It's the WRONG example,Brian! OK..so these 2 Bums get caught..so that makes the message bad too? I don't think it does. You can check your States' Preamble to its' Constitution to see what was set down by our leaders. It might surprise you. The breakdown of this society is a result of family breakdown and that society became lawless and unwilling to follow its leaders. The recalcitrant child imposing its' will....
