It's insulting for you to say I must not respect life.

How so? It's very presumptuous of you to say that I should or should not believe a particular way, based only on my being religious.

It's also funny, because most anti-abortion people whine, "it's not about our relgion, it's about protecting life". So exactly which is it, then? Are you all tied to religion or not? Oh, that's right, I forgot we can all make our own choices in life. I think you know mine.

To even argue whether religion is applicable to this is to TOTALLY IGNORE one of the key elements at the very heart of the abortion debate- when, exactly, life begins. I believe it begins after all existing laws now allow abortions to take place- therefore, I do not believe it is a viable life yet, and does not matter. Why I believe that, and the specifics thereof, are for another thread, and not this one.

Just like abortion those that are opposed to the pro-life want to make it seems as if the pro-lifers are trying to control their bodies. which is not true. only wanting to protect the life they are carrying.
Yeah, and pro-choice people are made out to look like they want to slaughter babies for a living, when all they want is the choice to do with their own bodies what they wish. I've seen pamphlets from you people that say pro-choice is slaughtering innocent babies, and don't kid yourselves, that's fucked up.

But seruously I doubt very much that very many liberals even care about what is going on in Iraq they just want to make bush look bad to get him out of office because he is a man of God and that scares people. The american people are not used to someone who does what he says he will do.
Are you serious? Are you joking with me now? Is that not the biggest bunch of generalizing, stereotyping, flame-baiting nonsense I've ever seen?

You, my friend, are the one who is confused. In fact, I would go so far as to say you are ignorant, if not bigoted. Being "religous" is like being Republican or being American. It doesn't mean you think a certain way. You may tend toward certain beliefs, but your own opinion should never be subject to will of the masses. To do so is to abdicate your free will. And to think that Islam is a religion that does not respect life just shows how misinformed you are. Fundamentalists give every religion a bad name. Don't be an example.
Bravo, Kadath.
