BUT, might such a decision have to be made? All I can tell you is, it is a fact that woman all over the world have to make the decision every day. And, no one knows what type of decision they will make unless, or until, the time comes when the decision needs to be made.
I know they have to make the decision every day.

And my boyfriend and I are set on one decision. My life comes first no matter what.

Its a cliche, one that there isn't really a clear origin, but I have heard so many times that the democrat party is an inclusive, broad minded party, open to new ideas and new ways of life, and the right wing are intolerant, small minded and not accepting of anyone or anything different.

When someone tosses that comment at you, "I thought liberals were supposed to be tolerant," maybe its just a satirical way of reminding both sides of the debate to be open minded?

Funny:

1) Abortion does affect men

2) Last time I checked, women also make the laws in this country. For example, my state senator, state representative, US representative, and one of my two US senators are WOMEN. And most of these women are pro-life. Pro-choicers don't have an easy time getting elected around here.

Same sex marriage was on the ballot here last year; same sex marriage was voted down by something like a 6 to 1 margin.

I really don't know what your point is. All I said was that I have the impression that she is anti-male. There are women who are anti-male, so she wouldn't be the first. There are also men who are anti-female. Intolerance goes in all directions.

Your impression is wrong. I told you already. Good God.

Yes. A few years ago here, it was voted down 60%-40% or so I believe.

A better debate would probably be to simply ask, "What does 'tolerance' mean to you?"
Very true. I'd rep ya again if I could for this post. Gotta spread it around first. LOL.

Was anything in there saying I hated men? NOPE. I was just saying that I dont let them control me or my body.

Was that something wrong, my friend?
Oh my. I fear your new favorite "pardner" (your comment from page 10 of this thread) might not be your favorite anymore.
