They are both in favor of abortion. Most Christians will agree that abortion is murder. Will this be an issue for you if either run for President?

and yes...if you are pro choice you are pro abortion. dont candy coat the issue. you are either for abortion or not.

Like I say you are either for or against abortion. Pro-Choice is for abortion. Pro-Choice = Pro-Abortion. Is it that hard to understand?
2007-01-25 06:41:42 · update #3
This will be an issue as I will not vote for anyone who believes in abortions
Pro choice = pro abortions

When people voted Republican they voted pro life. More abortions were done under this administration than any previous administration. They had congress in their pocket.
You say don't candy coat pro life. What about the 3000 men just out of high school that died in a foreign war? That was ok because they got to live until they were 18?
When will the people get smart and see the facts. That is something they use to get the votes but it is meaningless.
Of course, everyone is against abortion. We are all against murder. But is it only murder if the one who gets murdered is not born yet?
My friends died in Iraq? They wanted to live? Trying to keep two groups who by the way kill Christians, it is illegal to carry a bible.
These two groups want to kill each other and we were acting as refrerees. So when they died was that not murder?
If some woman on crack has an abortion, which i am against.
It could be doing that baby a favor. But the fact they say they are against that keeps them in office to do anything they want and they don't even have to stop abortion. Just say they are against it. I truly believe that the Radical Republicans are as bad as the Islamic terriorists in their extreme views. That it is okay to kill people as long as it is not the unborn. I know you will remove this, that is another thing I am against. They do not allow free speach. No one unless they agree with them can talk.
You don't want anyone unless they agree with you.
I would not vote for a Democrat, I would be voting against Republicans. There is a difference. That is what the last election was about.

It would be a strong factor for me, I do believe that abortion is very wrong, and possibly the greatest evil in America. It destroys not only a life, but the women who have the abortions are A) put at serious unnecessary risk, usually without their knowledge, and B) it often leaves serious emotional scars that they are not told about before the procedure.
I am not really that big on politics over all, though I will confess to having answered a few questions on yahoo here in regards to them. But I do see abortion as a very key point, and from my understanding of the topic, most of America that supports pro-life movements also find it very important.
As it is, it may not be an issue by the time the next president comes. If Bush gets one more Supreme Court Justice appointment, the restriction on States being allowed to make laws relating to abortion will be lifted.

Pro choice means that you are for the legalization of abortion, thus allowing women to make their own moral choices about whether or not abortion is a medical procedure they want to undergo.
You can support the legalization of abortion and have problems with its moral implications. That's what people mean when they say they are pro-choice, not pro-abortion. It's not candy-coating the issue; it's discerning the issue in all of its complexities.
That being said, I will never vote for a candidate who wants to undue Roe v. Wade. I'm not sure about Hillary--she strikes me as a little opportunistic. I like Obama; I think he may be just what the country needs.

What will be an issue for me is Hilary's smear tactics she's started on Obama. It's unethical and I'd never vote for anyone who used those tactics to try to win a political race. It's unfortunately, since I'd love to see a woman in the whitehouse, but I'll hold out for a woman with ethics.
I'm against abortion, but I'm also against what the republicans are doing to this country. Its a dilema.
For Brane Strain: You are very obviously a total nutcase, can't spell, yet you're calling christians morons? Truly amazing how ignorant some people are, and the fact that their parents let them use the computer unaided should be against the law.

Pro choice is not pro abortion. It just says that the women's right to choose is fair, and it is. To outlaw abortion would not stop women from having them, it would only jeopardize lives. It has been proven that when a woman wants an abortion, she will find a way to have one, legal or not. Illegal abortions do not have the medical safe guards that legal ones do. In the 18th and 19th centuries thousands of women lost their lives due to botched abortions. It doesn't make sense to go backwards to satisfy a few people. A woman should have the right to choose.

I believe you when you say you voted for Bush, for he, like the Sith, deals only in absolutes.
Being pro-choice is not the same as "pro-abortion." I am pro-choice, yet given the "choice" I most likely would choose another alternative (i.e. adoption)
The idea is that you, I, the president, or anyone else, do not have the authority to make that decision for another woman.
Stop looking at the world in black and white, and realize there are many gray areas that you are not qualified to decipher. If you are a christian, as you claim, then do not judge others, for they will be judged, as christians believe, by a higher power.

You seem to be implying that a candidate who is pro-life or pro-choice will enact legislation on that belief. They won't. Abortion, gun control, gay marriage, immigration...they're all boogie man issues, designed to scare you into voting one way or the other. Their promises hang in the air and die about ten minutes after the last ballots are counted. And guess what? We'll still be arguing about this junk in 2012, 2016, and any other year a bunch of millionaires get together to tell us what they think we wanna hear. Politicians do not keep their word.

First I want to state that Obama is Pro Choice for woman rights ok it says on his website. Another thing it's not up to the government if they would outlaw something like that. Its up to us to out law Abortion. I am Pro life and proud to be that however, I do believe the people of the country should have a right to speak up. Even tho I don't support Abortion I do believe it should be still aviable because there will be back alley abortions again and woman killing themselves.
The Best way to avoid an abortion is await until Marriage to have sex and being intimate with a mate.

At the same time will you support those who favor the rich over the poor? Maybe those who would rather mandate religion on a secular society are better? If that's the case why do we get upset over Sharia law?
No matter who you vote for there will be something that isn't very nice...
Clinton and Obama have good ideas. Bush had a few good ideas too. They all have good ideas. But then they all have some bad ideas too.
Quit trying to mix faith with politics. It's impossible. Every politician misses the mark from the christian perspective.
