no, it is pro abortion, pro choice is having a choice and when you do not use birth control you made a choice, when you support or choose an abortion it is pro abortion!!!!

Funny, how when people use exclamation points in an argument, they expect to be taken more seriously, when the opposite result is achieved.

I'm much more a fan of discussing issue politics than identity politics. I suppose I'll have to wait for the first debate (if applicable) before I see any of that.

Fair warning, candidates.. the first gubernatorial campaign or supporter to robocall my home number gets voted against.

Certainly not in your small world view.

Steve

and who says we wont have KKK rally's in all cities and towns, it could be a new American tradition, maybe in your expanded world view we will one day since you want to be so accepting and open to something different, we need to be open to all things. Im just saying.

I hope you vote for Martinez cause we need change like Obama said, so lets change up the corrupt state of NM and elect Martinez.

It would be just like a person going to a pro-choice march if they were anti-choice.

If Diane Denish had ever voiced disapproval of gay rights.

Has she? I don't think so.

So, in this case, there is no valid comparison.

And being pro-choice is not pro-abortion. Plenty of women use birth control and get pregnant. Plenty of women choose to get pregnant but due to devastating developments with the fetus choose abortion.

Actually, the ACLU defends the right of the KKK to have rallies.

But comparing a hate group to a minority is apples and oranges.

Karma, Diane Denish does NOT support the gay community.. It is just a front.

Serious. As if, she would? haha... lets get real here.

Bradly,

Please provide some kind of supporting documentation to this claim.

Denish is a Democrat and is far more likely, as a liberal, to support the gay community. I was king enough to provide a link to a legitimate news story in which she was quoted as being in favor of domestic partner rights.

Please provide something to the contrary.

I'm really not sure what "haha... lets ( sic ) get real here. " is supposed to mean.

true, the ACLU defends the right to have KKK rallies just like the gays have their rights to host their embarassing parade

what Im saying is, if everyone is going to be so accepting of everything then KKK rallies might be as common as an annual Fourth of July parade, and it could happen in every city and town, just like a gay parade could, if you are going to be accepting, you got to be accepting of everything, you have to practice what you preach and just not what suites your needs and wants.

I dont support KKK rallies or gay parades and I dont want either one in my town but it could happen.

Equating a gay rights parade to a KKK rally is really pretty sad. Sorry you feel that way.

What do you mean documentation?! Obviously if she DOES support civil unions and the gay community, it would say so on her website... or her platform... does it karma? no. SHE DOESNT! and she will NOT.
