I place all of those issues below the following in importance or urgency or both:
The war in Iraq.
The federal deficit.
Inadequate funding for education.
Loss of high income jobs in the legal, accounting, and technical fields to overseas markets.

1. Marijuana - Demonized 60 years ago, by the Dupont family, for the sole purposed of selling a new way to make paper, that was more expensive than the old way, which was hemp based. Is it bad for your health? Sure! But no worse than many other legal items we still tolerate. Legalize it, and tax the hell out of it.
2. Gay people are people too. They are not hurting anyone by BEING gay. No one has the right to tell a gay person they may not get married to their partner, simply because they ARE gay. They don't bother me, so I don't bother them. Neither should anyone else.
3. Is the termination of an innocent, human life. Plain and simple. Not even from a religious standpoint. For I am not religious. The child has done nothing wrong. It does not deserve to die, for the convenience of a mother who did not use protection. Don't want a child? DON'T GET PREGNANT. In cases of rape, put the child up for adoption. Murder of an innocent should never be an option. Will anything that is said here ever change anyone's mind? Hell no.

Legalize, for it, pro choice(late term abortion should be outlawed)
The war on drugs has created more criminals than it has put away. If you are going to have laws against drugs, they should be
uniform and exact across the country.
Marriage is not a religious right, its like a freaking contract and more than half of this country ends in divorce anyway.
Abortion is against my religion, not everyone has the same religion. It is a womans choice no one eles.

I think marijuana should be legal to grow and smoke. Gay people should be able to get married just like anyone else who is in love. And I personally do not agree with abortion and I would never get an abortion, however I believe it should be the woman's choice.

Marijuana- kind of iffy on this one. know a lot of people who do not for the high but for pain. cancer surgery etc.
Gay marriage- i have some gay relatives and if they want to get married go for it. I'll be there to support them 100%. that's their life they were born into it. (my belief anyway) I knew a guy who tried to deny it and hide it. But when push came to shove he just couldn't run from it.
Abortion- ILLEGAL--it is murder no matter how you look at it. A baby is in the process of development once it is fertilized. ya it may not be a baby yet but it is going to be. You are killing its chance to have life. a baby is a blessing why would you want to throw it away.
I read a post on here that said masturbation was the same as abortion thats just stupid. If your going to say masturbation is like abortion then your saying menstruation is abortion too. abortion is when you abort a FERTILIZED EGG. don't believe in it hope some day it is illegal.

Legalize Marijuana. Tax and regulate its sale.
No to Gay marriage, but yes to Civil Unions.
No to Abortion, Unless the woman is a victim of rape or another undeserving crime.

Marijuana= not so much
Gay Marriage= yes; they are going to be together anyway, so it might as well be legalized. It doesn't have to interfere with religions either; the ceremony can be performed at the court house.
Abortion= Pro-Choice; I believe the woman has the right to make the decision herself. I do believe that the father of the child should have a say, as well.

I'm against Mary Jane we've got enough people hallucinating. Gays can live together all they want-- Just don't call it marriage. Generally I'm against abortion (with a few exceptions) There are too many ways to prevent conception for there to be a need for an 'easy button'. Besides there are a lot worse things you can get from unprotected sexual congress than pregnant.

Legalize marijuana with age limits.
Legalize gay marriage.
Keep abortion legal with reasonable limitations.
Lets stop eliminating our freedoms and try giving a few more away for a change. Now thats a radical concept. This is the land of the brave home of the free isn't it? Funny how not so free it really is.

Marijuana should be illegal,
Gay marriage should not be legal, but let the gay community live in peace without fear of retaliation or hate crimes
Abortion should be the woman choice, but if it is a young girl the parents should be notified unless there is abuse involved.
And I will get thumbs down for having a different opinon than half the people out there since people can't accept that there are other thoughts besides their own.
