According to this, I would be a Democrat. But see, at the same time- I see pro's and con's in all parties. I believe we should help the less fortunate (charity= good in Catholic church eyes, no?) but at the same time I know there is abuse there. The pill? Thats not KILLING babies, just preventing. (I mean the nature taking its course and putting your health in Gods hands may not get you far if you have cancer. And those drugs to treat cancer also are changing natural course if you think about it really) Abortion? Not for it, and I do not believe people should be having multiple abortions, but who am I to tell the Athiest what to do with their bodies? Corporal punishment- to some degree I do support it because you have people like Dahmer and Gacy, but others I cant say because that system is flawed as well. Entitlement programs such as social security and issues such as FMLA, you bet your dupa I believe in those. Social Security was taken out of my check in the respect that it would be given back to me at retirement age. FMLA pays me for time off to the extent of how much vacation time I have and any time that exceeds is unpaid but excused leave. And when it comes to money, I do find most people who donate the most to church and other programs are people who understand what it's like to be in less fortunate circumstances. I'm broke as ****. When DH's hours were cut and we needed FMLA for some health issues between DS and I, we really struggled. I went to seek help but was turned away from everyone- so I know how that feels to need the help and not get it when I knew of numerous people who bragged on using it when they wouldn't have qualified had they not lied about things. *sigh* I guess in a perfect world we would all be able to come to some kind of compromise.
:snicker: Well I guess after 12-21-12 we won't have to worry about all this :snicker: (just kidding!! lol)
What do you mean?
**** it...I know I'm going to be sorry. And I honest to goodness am not being a Catholic basher but riddle me this batman.
The "rhythm method" is a method of birth control. You abstain during certain days of the month to prevent getting pregnant. That is an attempt to control whether or not you get pregnant. It is just not a "synthetic" means of doing it. The result is the same, i.e. not getting pregnant.
How is this different? If I take Avenue A, and you take Avenue B and we both end up on Avenue C, how we got there becomes irrelevant no? We are both in the same place (i.e. not pregnant).
Can anyone explain it to me I'm sure there is an explanation and I'm not about to Google it, Lord knows where that would lead me.
After the test.. I am 100 percent republican...

Is that with insurance or without. I am honestly curious. I have had insurance for a long time and don't know what it is like to be without it.
I don't know if the $3000 figure that Ms Fluke used is accurate. She did say it was for the entire time of being in law school.
I guess from what I read at HHS website, condoms would probably have to be covered since they are FDA-approved contraception.

(Out of curiosity) Is the church against fertility treatments and fertility drugs for those who want to have kids but can't? Or is that considered going against what God had intended for the woman?
Not sure how they're figuring their percentages here but I was 100% Republican and 40% other. (I'm thinking gun control & capital punishment were the "other" parts.)
At least you were given the hope of possibly changing your vote... I was given 100 percent republican. Funny... I have voted all 3 at some point in my life... dem, rep and "green/other"
"If you're not Liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not Conservative when you're 35, you have no brain."
Have a great day everyone!
Even if at this rate, these babies keep having more babies that rely on the welfare programs that so many are on already? I think its a double edged sword. Everyone wants to save the babies, but no one wants to support them if we hold true to those beliefs of not wanting to support the welfare system, no? I can see stricter guidelines, but not getting rid of welfare completely.
I never said get rid of welfare. I don't think conservatives want to get rid of it. It is wayyyyyyy abused by certain people/groups, etc. They lie to get it and live off of it. Why the hell do illegals get it? or any government services? food stamps? they do, but why? Kind of like the handicapped placard thing, anyone too fat to walk any long distance qualifies. I only weigh 110lbs. but have horrible knees, should I qualify? Those are not the real people in need. Real people in need can't do for themselves. Even if it was re-evaluated at some point they could probably kick 50% of the people off because it's fraud. I can't engage in the thinking that because we have babies that never get adopted that it's ok to do away with them with an abortion. No way. There are plenty of people who would love to raise these kids, it's the cost and red tape that gums it up. I have several friends who did adoptions in China because of the good old USA red tape and cost. It's wrong and very sad. It shouldn't be that hard.
speaking of food stamps and all that ...

I was asking from what Nanny had stated about republicans being for education. If you cant afford $3 grand a year (thats what my parents paid for me 14 years ago anyway) at a community college but dont qualify for any kind of financial aid cuz even tho they are 18 and 'technically an adult'- mom and dad made too much money in the previous 5 years. Is there help in being able to go to college to 'better oneself' if the person is not able to afford school at the time? (Luckily my parents were able to help me, but this is not everyones case)
was just going to this....glad she got caught. The feeling of entitlement some people have is unbelievable!
