That is what they said about slippery slopes when they passed Roe v Wade. Now abortions are preformed for ANY reason up to the day of birth and one in four babies are aborted. Slippery slopes hava a way of happening. I don't take them for granted anymore.

In most states, abortions are illegal after viability (usually around the 22nd-24th week) except in very extreme circumstances.

And the right to an abortion has actually been weakened by the Supreme Court since Roe v. Wade. See Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, and Carhart v. Gonzales.

Don't you see how silly that sounds? An Animals brain works on instinct, a humans brain reasons, an animal can't. Your not a black swan or a gut worm.

Homosexuals have all the same rights as the normal people, you can live with your boyfriend just as I can live with a girlfriend. Just because y'all have a disorder doesn't mean you are a seperate race.

It's all rational thought. It just depends on where you are coming from. You want the government to promote your right, first by taking away any religious connotation and then calling it discrimination. Next you want to teach kids it is your right and their right, which doesn't make it right, but nevertheless. Why is it so important to pervert marriage?

If God has given you a base mind, and you think you are married, then fine. Nothing I can say will change your mind. But ask yourself, why is it so important in your mind? It doesn't change anything. You aren't going to be accepted by everyone. You're just creating mischief. And you're also turning the tables on the ones who say it is a perversion. Next you will be saying those people should be discriminated against. Those people should be punished for their nonacceptance.

All of this is predicted in the Bible so don't be so sure of yourselves.

Well stated, I couldn't agree more.

You can have your bible beliefs, but nobody with sense can say that the right or privilege to a civil marriage doesn't matter. Civil marriage confers 100's of benefits, rights, and duties. You don't see too many hetero couples passing on their civil marriage license and sticking to only a religious ceremony, do you.

You know by encouraging women to oppose their husband, you are breaking up more families. If you don't like it, then don't get married.
Hello, welcome to 2011. Where did you just come from in your time machine? I'm sure you have some great stories to tell.

Are you married?

And if so, does your wife happen to wear a burka?

I always say it's the Constitution and it applies to EVERY human being that is an American citizen. And if it isn't illegal for any human in America, it shouldn't be for some..
