R.D. Buschman, Your posts are really depressing. I wish you'd stop the personal attacks. It's obvious that people here, including me, perceive things totally different than you, but how are we to discuss our viewpoint when all you do is focus on wedge issues? Gay marriage, abortion... we'll never agree. OK? Never. Maybe when men walk the planet with total respect for a womans body... we'll ban abortion... OK? But, that's not the world we live in. For the women and men of this country that support a right to choose, (the current law), all I can say is, you are not going to change their mind. And even though you seem to think that you can "legislate" a change of heart, I'll tell you, you can't. For me to think that woman should not have the power to govern their own bodies would require my heart to change. Such a change comes from my creator, not a law. I obviously have different beliefs than you, and I'm not living by yours, and I'm not going away. Men always talk about stopping abortion, but you never see them fighting to get the ten's of thousands of rape kits (the evidence taken after a rape) processed that sit on a shelf unprocessed, due to lack of funds. That could stop thousands of abortions, and give women justice, by getting known sexual offenders off the streets. Why don't you spearhead that project? If you stop thinking in such black and white terms and you may actually find ways to end thousands of abortions without oppressing womans rights. Do you care about any issues democrat's here care about? Like voter fraud, do any of the problems surfacing with our voter system bother you? If so, you may be able to have a discussion with others here that care about that... or did you never really intend to find any common ground with people here and you're just here to pick fights over wedge issues? wuli
