Reaganite Republican

Look, most people don’t want this bill- and they’re starting to get pretty mad about the power-drunk Dems’ continued rampage.

The Democrats face a bloodbath next year… some are saying they could lose over 100 seats.

And by 2012?

The GOP could take forty states running Gilbert Gottfried, lol

Hope-n-Change = Train Wreck

WHAT IF JESUS WAS ABORTED

For the past nearly 2,000 years, there has been an ongoing debate regarding the Return of Jesus Christ. Many believe that He will literally return, exactly as The Bible says that He will, perhaps even within the lifetime of those alive today. Others have come to their own opinion, apart from what the Scriptures plainly say, and believe that the Return of Christ will not be an actual physical event, but was meant symbolically somehow. And others have decided, for themselves, that the existence of the Christian church (or in reality, hundreds of conflicting churches calling themselves Christian) serves the same purpose. People who abort could careless! Norma McCorvey, the “Roe” of Roe v. Wade admitted she lied about being gang raped — a lie on which the Supreme Court based their decision, and the lie that led many people to accept the legality of abortion. Norma McCorvey is now 100 percent pro-life. Doe v. Bolton, the companion decision to Roe v. Wade, is also based on a lie. Sandra Cano, the “Doe” of Doe v. Bolton, never wanted an abortion as the case claimed. She was pregnant with her fourth child and desperately trying to get her other three children out of foster care when pro-abortion attys offered to help her on the condition that she would allow them to use her case to try to overturn Georgia’s abortion law. She made it clear that she had no intention of having an abortion and ran away to avoid keeping an abortion appointment arranged for by her lawyers. She never knew until 1988, that the case in which she was used as “Mary Doe” essentially tied up the loopholes in Roe, making it virtually impossible for states to prohibit abortion, even in the last three months of pregnancy, if the mother’s life or “health” was endangered. “Health” was defined by the court as “physical, emotional, psychological, familial and the woman’s age — relevant to the well being of the patient”. (Doe v. Bolton, U.S. Supreme Court No. 70-40, iv, p.113,January 1973.) An argument first presented by Judith Jarvis Thomson states that even if the fetus has a right to life, abortion is morally permissible because a woman has a right to control her own body. Thomson’s variant of this argument draws an analogy between forcing a woman to continue an unwanted pregnancy and forcing a person’s body to be used as a dialysis machine for another person suffering from kidney failure. It is argued that just as it would be permissible to “unplug” and thereby cause the death of the person who is using one’s kidneys, so it is permissible to abort the fetus (who similarly, it is said, has no right to use one’s body against one’s will).
Critics of this argument generally argue that there are morally relevant disanalogies between abortion and the kidney failure scenario. For example, it is argued that the fetus is the woman’s child as opposed to a mere stranger; that abortion kills the fetus rather than merely letting it die; and that in the case of pregnancy arising from voluntary intercourse, the woman has either tacitly consented to the fetus using her body or has a duty to allow it to use her body since she herself is responsible for its need to use her body. Some writers defend the analogy against these objections, arguing that the disanalogies are morally irrelevant or do not apply to abortion in the way critics have claimed.
Alternative scenarios have been put forth as more accurate and realistic representations of the moral issues present in abortion. John Noonan proposes the scenario of a family who was found to be liable for frostbite finger loss suffered by a dinner guest whom they refused to allow to stay overnight, although it was very cold outside and the guest showed signs of being sick. It is argued that just as it would not be permissible to refuse temporary accommodation for the guest to protect them from physical harm, it would not be permissible to refuse temporary accommodation of a foetus.
Other critics counter Thomson’s scenario using an analogy about a newborn child. If a baby was born into an environment in which there was no replacement available for the mother’s breast milk, they argue that the mother would have an obligation to provide her body for breastfeeding to ensure the survival of the child. But the mother would not have the obligation to provide a blood transfusion. This is because gestation, childbirth, breastfeeding, food and shelter are natural means of preservation that parents are obligated to provide their children with, but organ donations, blood transfusions and disease treatments are artificial and extraordinary means of preservation so entail no obligation.
No one should have the right to stop another person life whether born or unborn.ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE LIVING! If you claim to be a christian then there is no argument about abortion. ” IT IS WRONG!” In the Bible GOD in his Ten Commandments stated “(6).COMMANDMENT- Do not murder” not thou should not murder only if the person is UNBORN! I need to write this book to asked as many living people these questions. Is abortion WRONG? Are you absolutely sure that Jesus was not aborted? AGAIN AND AGAIN! Are you absolutely sure that Jesus was not aborted?Do you believe in GOD? If you answer my questions YES -NO-NO-YES. We as human are in trouble with GOD! If we keep killing his children we are in trouble with GOD!We humans need God’s redemption—his rescue—because Adam and Eve sinned, bringing death on the world. Jesus accomplished that redemption by dying in our place. “God was pleased,” wrote Paul in Colossians 1:19-20, “to have all his fullness dwell in him [Jesus Christ], and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” Jesus healed the breach that first occurred in Eden. Through his sacrifice, the human family is reconciled to God. For this in America we abort GOD’s children and maybe the second coming of Jesus!
Old Testament prophecy pointed to the kingdom of God in the future. But the New Testament opens with Jesus “proclaiming the good news of God. ‘The time has come…. The kingdom of God is near,’” he said (Mark 1:14-15). Jesus, the King of the kingdom, was walking among humans! Jesus offered “for all time one sacrifice for sins” (Hebrews 10:12). We should never underestimate the import of Jesus’ incarnation, life and work two millennia ago.Abortion disrespects the second coming of Jesus Christ. An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo. Let me make it very very clear whether a fetus or embryo. Any stage of life is where you where at one time. AGAIN..! Let me make it very very clear whether a fetus or embryo. Any stage of life is where you where at one time. To stop that life at that stage is MURDER! To all humans : If you participate in abortion you might have murder JESUS! Abortion has a long history and has been induced by various methods including herbal abortifacients, the use of sharpened tools, physical trauma and other traditional methods. Contemporary medicine utilizes medications and surgical procedures to induce abortion. The legality, prevalence, and cultural views on abortion vary substantially around the world. In many parts of the world there is prominent and divisive public controversy over the ethical and legal issues of abortion. Abortion and abortion-related issues feature prominently in the national politics in many nations often involving the opposing pro-life and pro-choice worldwide social movements. Incidence of abortion has declined worldwide, as access to family planning education and contraceptive services has increased. Abortion incidence in the United States declined 8% from 1996 to 2003. America lives in denial about abortion . The option to kill or not to kill is to me outragous! To have the option of killing or not killing is to me insane! IF MURDER IS ILLEGAL HOW CAN ABORTION BE LEGAL?To justify the murder of a life is insane. To stop life at the point of life where you had the privilege ones being is the highest form of disrespect and straight up arrogant! Are you getting where I’m at on abortion? Abortion is WRONG! There I said it abortion is WRONG! To give a woman the right to murder a unborn child just because she is a woman is WRONG! The statement “her body her right is WRONG!To tell a father he has no right to save his unborn child is WRONG! Abortion is WRONG! Abortion is WRONG! Everybody reading this book was at every stage of life as a aborted child was! To stop life at any stage in MURDER! Sugar coating abortion will never come from my lips. Abortion is MURDER!
