During our homeless advocacy workshop, I started thinking about all the Right to Life signs and decals I've seen. With the information that human services were the first to be cut in the states' and counties' budget reviews, I wondered where you stand on helping people.

How many of you that vote Pro-life are supporting your local homeless shelters? Food banks? Health reform?

If you are going to claim life for the unborn, shouldn't the life be a good one?

Is that even relevant? Are you suggesting that if we don't want to spend money on them we should just kill them?

Pretty funny that Liberals and Progressives want to kill babies that won't have a good life, but continue to prop up the poor who REFUSE to have a good life. Why not kill them too?

Not seeing the connection whatsoever. Abortion is a human rights issue. Abortion is murder. It is murder whether or not there are human services. Would you think about starting a thread asking those that are against the genocide in Darfur where they stand on human service cuts? If not why not?

It depends on what you call supporting these causes? I work at our local food bank and I also donate to it regularly. It is part of our church. We also try to give advise on places to live inexpensively and yes, homeless information. I guess that qualifies me as a supporter.

as for health care, heck, some homeless can get as good or better care than we, who are paying get or those of us on medicare and suppliments.

As for pro-life, you do realize, the majority of those who choose to abort their babies are not homeless or even on welfare. They are young who just simply do not think parenthood is right for them at this time. Do I support that? Absolutely NO!!!!

To protect innocent life in the womb does not make one responsible for that life nor for attempting to guarantee an equal outcome as "good life" following birth. This becomes the responsibility of the parents and eventually of the individual him/herself.

To answer the other portion of your question: I support my local food bank network and my local children's hospitals, not that it is anyone's business other than my own.

We always here about a woman's "choice". Do you tell them about having sex is a choice, and has consequences?
