I don't plan on it, but I may not appreciate being forced to pay for other people to have them.



Probably the lamest response to this argument that I see posted time and again.

Lots of people don't like paying for implements of war. They don't like paying for a $700 hammer. They don't like paying for anything that .GOV uses their money for. .GOV wastes a lot of our money.

Suck it up buttercup. Maybe you should just not pay taxes in protest. See how that works out for you. Moving to another country could solve that, or maybe you could form your own territory and secede from the nation.

I do understand that some people find it repugnant. That is certainly your right to have an opinion on that. I have no need to control what another person does with their body or property, as long as it does not directly impact me. I would expect that somebody would extend the same courtesy to me.

Here is the thing. This repugnant action was ruled legal by the US Supreme Court. You are not going to change this unless:

1.The US Supreme Court reverses a decision on an earlier case by making a contradictory decision on a current case.

2.Congress and the States can overturn a decision by amending the Constitution.

Neither are likely scenarios.

You want to know why the Republican Party has been such a failure in the past few elections? They cling to stupid arguments that they cannot change, like abortion. They also send the most far right a-holes to the front of the line, leaving the bulk of the voters in the middle alienated. You want to see them lose, keep this up. Don't change a thing. So tired of this same tired and asinine argument. Why don't you toss in religion as well. Might work this time.

Rant over.


Reposting this post is the reason why it is unfortunate that this forum doesn't have a "like" or "agree" button.

Gold Digger,

We would probably agree on a great many things, but although there is wide agreement on values of right and wrong, they are still relative and not universal, regardless of what you believe. Abortion is on that list of relative values. Just because it is wrong to you doesn't make it wrong universally.

If you understand human psychology at all, you already know that sex is as much about sport and hobby as it is about procreation. You can want it not to be, but that won't make it so, but an intelligent guy like you most likely already knew that.
