I think the people who would vote for him in the first place would probably believe whatever lies he told anyway, so I don't think it matters. That's just what I think. I don't have to worry about voting for him, and thankfully these sorts of issues don't really come into it over here much. Peripherally maybe, but certainly not much.

If you explained it, classic, I either didn't understand your explanation or missed your explanation. What is the difference between a medically induced miscarriage and an abortion?

The eventual outcome is the same in that there is a dead child.
Nothing else matters and I'll not post any more on it. It brings up terrible memories for me. I'm out.

IMO, Santorum is not a viable candidate for many many reasons.
This is NOT one of them.

One makes you feel warm and fuzzy and the other makes you feel like a murderer?

HM, nothing personal, but that wiki article is beyond terrible.
I listed more reasons for inducing labor than they had.
I went through this twice and did enough research to know.

They're open questions. If you don't want to answer, fine. I think I have the right to defend why I think this is a legitimate public issue, in spite of the private nature of the history. I can't make you read or reply.

edit: I'm sorry, classic, that came off as harsh. I understand that you don't want to deal with the issue anymore, and it's totally legitimate for you to bow out of the conversation. I'm sorry to bring up rough shit. All i mean by that bit up there is, yeah, I quoted your, but that doesn't mean I'm expecting you to participate.

The difference between a medically induced miscarriage and an abortion is the first actually causes the body to expel the fetus. The second removes the fetus without involving labor, etc.

Regardless of who had what, Santorum is the most extreme candidate out there, still running. A vote for him is a vote to run this country by fundamental religious tenets.

In my personal opinion, of course.

But-but-but-the COURTS DECIDE what's constitutional!
I think this warrants a new thread, actually. Could you like, create a new thread with that? I would, or would quote yours to one, but I can't get your quote to copy over into my quote.

This is the current theme of Santorum's underground campaign...

Santorum certainly is ...
Gingrich certainly is ...
Romney is a Mormon and most Christians don't ...
But Obama ... I can’t say categorically, ...

Under Islamic law, Mr. Graham volunteered,
“the Muslim world sees Barack Obama as a Muslim” because
his father and previous generations were Muslim.



Billy Graham once came out in support of Richard Nixon.
He learned his lesson from Watergate, and refused to comment in subsequent elections.
Franklin should have learned from his father.

Wow.
Just wow.

Hang on, how many Christians being murdered in Muslim countries are there?
Obama, sorry - President Obama - isn't worried about them.
Neither was I. But now I am. Who are they?

I didn't know about Marie Colvin's death when I posted that, obviously.

I just saw her report on AC360 last night too.
I've always enjoyed and admired her reporting.
That woman has STEEL balls. RIP.
