And pregnant women just want conservatives to mind their own business and keep their intrusive "morals" at a distance.

Sorry 'bout that!

But since we're talking about abortion, let me just start off by saying that I am a pro-choice Christian, but for years I was pro-life. I used to think that giving a baby up for adoption was the only moral way to deal with an unwanted pregnancy, even if the pregnancy was the result of a rape.

I changed my mind when I was a substitute teacher for a 7th grade class. One of my students, Veronica, was tiny for her age—tiny, everywhere except for her belly, which was huge due to her pregnancy. She’d been molested by her uncle, who was arrested and jailed. Her poor and very devout Catholic parents wouldn’t allow Veronica to get an abortion, nor could she give the baby up for adoption. The family would keep the baby, and Veronica would be her mother. After all, the Bible is full of women who became mothers at that age.

Unfortunately, many conservatives don't care. Some even think that a rape baby is a "gift of god."

Right from the satanic bible.

'Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development," has become the most vicious animal of all!'

I don't believe that.

Politics are more important than religions. Religions are based on superstitions. Politics, on values.

It's the end result of a progressive agenda. They can't help themselves. They are addicted to change and control.

This is where the thread was hijacked.

Why?

Why?

Because some CD posters have agendas and believe to their core that THEIR agenda trumps anyone else topic or concern. CD forum, due to it's ease of use and anonymity, makes it easy to be a "Carnival barker."

As if you don't have an agenda which includes fear-mongering and blaming minorities for your personal problems, which you've demonstrated many times on this forum (hint: Illinois' economy is taking a blow because of dem' darn hoodrats!). As if issues within that certain community affects you........

Since no one is killing babies, all is well then. Just don't go all conservatives are small government and what to keep out of individual's lives when they show they are the exact opposite.

Indeed. I was trying to have a nice discussion about the original post, and its topic, the city of Milwaukee, and people try to hijack it with their promotion of the horrible suburbs which were off topic. It's a shame. Damn shame.

Lordy - How do you infer that?? I have NEVER blamed any minority group for issues I encounter. I have challenged the thought process that only looks to identity politics to garner power.

My life is awesome. It even affords me a few minutes to come on here once in a while and see what's going on.

Your racism has so blinded you that you cannot even comprehend anymore.

You my friend, are the ultimate CD Forum, Carney barker. Heck, Walker will soon be long gone, Trump's agenda is shot and he is under attack constantly and likely to lose reelection. All of which should make you happy. Yet you cannot let anything go. On here anyway, all you talk about is politics and how racist America is.

Have a great 2019.

Milwaukee is a nice city.

It is pure deflection when someone calls a minority racist when they're called out for it.

Anyway, I am sorry that we never see eye to eye on things on C-D. This thread has veered off-topic enough, so maybe we should just leave our discussion here.

Happy New Years to you as well! Enjoy the rain in Oregon!

This thread has most certainly gone haywire!
