USMB: My parents are scared

Quote from: DavidS
They live in Florida and are both fed up with the negative attack ads from both sides. There's a lot of mis-information being spread around and they're nervous on who to vote for.
 
Virtually on every issue, including the economy, they weren't sure who to vote for.
 
In the end, the ages of the Supreme Court justices is what, I think convinced them to vote for Obama.
 
I asked them, "Let's say our next President has to appoint two new justices to the Supreme Court. How can you get an idea of what justices they will appoint? Well, look at who he chose to be his running mate." They hate Sarah Palin. They're socially moderate and believe in gay marriage and abortion rights for first term mothers. While McCain said he will have no litmis test, we can get an idea of who he'll appoint to the Supreme Court via Sarah Palin. She doesn't believe in science, she hunts wolves from helicopters and she wants to turn this country into a Christian version of Iran.
 
I turned my parents, who've voted for Reagan, Bush HW, Clinton, Gore and Bush W into voters for Obama.
 
What's concerning is the amount of mis-information going around. Something should really be done to curb the bias in the media... both left and right.

congrats.  you're helping to slaughter more babies.  Obama will put people in there that allow babies to suffocate after they survive an abortion.  or at very least promote partial birth abortion.  you get pissed when people talk about the obama-ayers connection, and now you're comparing Sarah Palin to Ahmadinijad. hippocrite.

Quote from: DavidS
She's an extreme right-wing fundamentalist whose views do not fall in line with main stream America's views. And no, I did not compare her to Ahmadinejad, I compared her to ayatollah khomeini. She won't even denounce abortion clinic bombings. She believes a woman who is brutally raped shouldn't have the right to have an abortion. She's old school, as in 100 years ago old school and is an extremely dangerous person.
 
Removing a fetus from your body is not slaughtering a baby. It's removing a fetus. Do you take anti-biotics, Elvis? You're killing a life form! Have you ever killed an insect? Murderer! And yes, I am indeed comparing a first trimester cluster of cells to bacteria and insects.
 
I do not support partial birth abortion at all. I do not support any abortion in which the fetus can survive outside of the mother's womb.
 
Just for everyone's information, I was in a relationship two years ago where my girlfriend got pregnant. She was on anti-seizure medication for bi-polar disorder and it somehow counteracted the birth control she was on. She had been on the anti-seizure medication for about 8 weeks while she was pregnant and there was no way, yet, to know what kind of damage the medication had done to the fetus. It was assumed at the very least the baby would be born with severe birth defects. We absolutely had no choice in the matter, if we ever wanted to have a baby together this baby would've been too much of a challenge for us. I went to the clinic with her and it was a procedure in which I will never forget for the rest of my life. I don't think abortion is anything to take lightly, but I believe people need to have that chance there, that backup just in case. There are people who do use abortion as a form of birth control... women who have had 2... maybe 3 abortions in their lives. As horrible and horrifiyng as it sounds and as idiotic of decisions as people make... they need to be protected just as my girlfriend and I needed to be protected.
 
I do see the other side of the argument... "What about the baby? Who will protect it?" And in the end, I have to answer "God will."

Feeling nauseous yet?

I NEVER read these things, but this one caught my eye.  I was a "fetus" once, as was this poster.  I can't help but think "removing" either of us from our mothers' uterus would of had a great impact on our lives.

An insect larva is also a clump of cells.  Unfortunately, a larvae has never grown to the point where a single one could invent the automobile, penicillin, or heavier-than-air flight.

The chances of evolution over creation is the same as having 3 tons of molton steel poured on your driveway and having a perfectly running 1958 Buick result.

First I've ever heard of this site, but some of the posting names are familiar from the old Yahoo board.

That's it then. 99% of the people (read: libs) on the Yahoo boards are certifiably nuts.
