22. Well, I'm a female, I would NEVER consider having an abortion.
But, I don't believe any gov't should have a say in the decision made between a woman and her doctor.

I'm certainly no finatic, but I am Catholic. I don't believe in abortion, divorce, the death penalty, or going to war...expecially pre-emptively! I think all those who are so insistant that the frds overturn Roe, permit the 10 commandments in fed buildings, and all the other federal interventions in the way people live their lives are being very hypocrytical.

For secular laws to PERMIT some action doesn't mean anyone MUST participate in the activity! It=f they really did believe in what they are preaching, they would:

-Not recognize divorce! Remember the "till death do us part line?"

-Outlaw the death penalty. "Thou shalt not kill!"

-Fight against all wars, except a specific enemy who has attacked US! It's the "thou shalt not kill thing again."

-Permit the 10 commandments in public buildings...ALONG WITH...the Koran, the Jewish Shavuot, and any symbol of ANY other faith supported in our country. Seems to me this could get quite confusing, and gee...maybe not even have enough wall space! I do think this is an all or none situation.

-Outlaw abortion. But that includes in-vitro fertilization, birth control pills, etc. Everything that is NOT purely natural.

If they were really honest, they would admit that each individual is responsible for their OWN actions, not the actions of the State! I can just imagine the response from your MAKER when you say, bbbut I only did that because the State told me I could! Doesnt sound like it would be acceptable...does it?
