What I cannot reconcile is aborting (ie killing) viable babies.

I am against abortion. I don't know anyone who is in favor of killing viable babies.

I don't know all the issues involved. There are cases where they have to make a choice as to save the mother or cause the baby to die. I just hope I don't ever have to get involved with anything like that.

Aborting babies in the Far East is far more likely than here. It is out of ignorance - and even there they are getting away from that. I don't have any statistics on it, but my sense is that the practise is decreasing quite substantially.

I think abortion is something that we can all help in preventing. We don't need government to tell us how to do it. We should be ahead of government on this issue.

On the 'marriage' issue you totally dodge the polygamy issue

Polygamy is not a common occurrance. I am not a lawyer, but I think there are laws against polygamy. I am not aware that polygamy violates any federal laws. I think the laws in place should suffice. I don't think we need any new laws.

But who knows? Judge Scalia has said that he could accept the premise that group sex could relieve certain social tensions. I don't know what he meant by that, and I'm not looking to get further understanding.

Research on papers of Dr Mengele discover he had found a cure for disease X while experimenting on humans at Auschwitz. Do you use the research or burn it?

I am not a doctor, but one of the things they teach doctors is to do no harm . They do a pretty good job in med school to screen out screw balls - but it happens.

Screwballs can do a lot of harm - and sometime screwballs do thing that turn out okay.

We have to reject everything that is bad and make sure to prevent it - but we should accept anything good that happens - why not?
