Indiana Senate Debate

[bwframe]

Already got one and he, unlike Mourdock, rocked his debate performance. Why are you choosing to waste your vote?

So your guy is in contention? I'll vote for him if he can beat Donnelly, just tell me he can.

He's in the race.

He's in the race.

So was Danica Patrick, doesn't mean she has a chance in hates to win.

Hell, I plan on voting for Horning, but I found nothing wrong with Murdock's statement. All this stupid abortion issue is, is something to herd the sheep away from real issues. Same with Gay marriage.

If we can't demand the moronic debate commitees ask relevant questions that are important to life, ie out of control spending, fedzilla, and our rapid deteriorating civil rights, then we need to STFU. No we bend over and take it from a bunch of pansies that would rather talk about hot button topics instead.

Nothing to see here, move along!!!

For anyone who thinks that Mourdock didn't lose any votes because of this...he lost mine, the latest in a long line of Republicans to do so.
Since I'm no fan of Donnelly either, so I guess it's finally time to give the LP a try.

FIFY

He does if enough people get of their asses and stop wasting their votes.

 

[bwframe]

Well your work is cut out for you then. Better get busy convincing people of that. 1st move might be to get a better opening line.

Show me some libertarians that can get something done at the town and county level. Once you can accomplish that then I might believe they are worth voting for ar the national and state level.

Are you willing to deny an adolescent rape victim being treated in an ER for her attack an abortifacient? These are the scenarios with which I struggle against the absolutist viewpoint.

Is the adolescents life in peril?

 

[Paul]

Do most people pay enough attention to even know what he said? Most voters will go in and vote straight Dem or Rep. This probably won't hurt him much in Indiana.

I too thought Horning put on a good showing. Has he ever held elected office or ran at a county or state level?

I think the biggest bit of interesting info out of this is the leadership & integrity displayed by the reactions of Romney and Pence.

Should it have to be?

Yes it makes reconsider voting for Pence

 

[foszoe]

Should it have to be?

Yes

That is because children born of rape or incest are evil and must be destroyed.

I don't believe that any child born should be destroyed for any reason. However, I also don't believe that a woman should be forced to incubate a group of cells that has not developed into a viable human being to the point that it becomes a viable human being, the child of her rapist.

The woman should have the final say in whether she considers her pregnancy a gift from the supernatural or an agonizing burden too great to bear, up until the fetus becomes a viable human and can survive without the mother.

Regarding Mourdock, Thomas Paine said it best. "Belief in a cruel god makes a cruel man."

Is the adolescents life in peril?

No. Her wounds have been treated. She is residing in a recovery suite, her parents hovering nervously around her bed. Next to her, on the tray is a cup which contains a pill. A pill that will alleviate the worry of a rape pregnancy, the subsequent mental issues, as well as financial.

Make an argument justifying your authority to dictate that the will of the parents and their 13 year old child is overridden by your decision of adopting a complete abolition of abortion.

 

[ghuns]

Yes

I can only assume you arrive at this through deeply held religious beliefs. I respect that a great deal. But to not respect the desire are a woman to terminate a pregnancy, when she has been the victim of a violent assault, and does not adhere to your strict moral or religious code, is cruel.

There is no need to respect that belief, particularly a great deal. Just because you hold an opinion does not mean it demands respect. Not all ideas are equal. I have no respect for barbarous dogma and the related mythology.
