Methodists aren't Christians?

My bad......I should have said "good Christian women".

or........

Do you consider Catholics a step above other "Christians"?

Whatever.......

I will rephrase: I thought good Christian women never had abortions.....only liberals and heathens have abortions?

How's that?

So? You sound like some old time guy who thinks women need his paternal guidance because they don't have enough in their pretty little heads to take care of themselves....so it really doesn't matter if you're a woman or not.






"""And not Thousands of women, about 13."""


That's a lot! Maybe your family should try birth Control.....

"""Have YOU ever tried REAL facts???


Wish you would come up with a fact..any fact...something remotely factual...not your own unprovable stories...



Not things like abortions started in 1973...

Don't you ever get tired of spinning peoples words? It seems exhausting.

You posted this: """All actions have consequences. Society has made it okay for us to try to get around them unless they are positive. That is wrong."""





There was NO spin.

You are too funny. I specifically told you what I wanted you to answer. Is something wrong with your comprehension skills? That was a good politician's answer though. You made a bigoted statement and now you're trying to not be responsible for it. You said what you said, even if you don't want to admit it.

It's really funny, Person and SoD, that you both are all about the welfare of the fetus inside the womb but the moment he or she is out? "NOPE! I DON'T WANT *MY* TAX DOLLARS PAYING FOR THAT WELFARE RECIPIENT! THAT WOMAN SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT BABY. IT'S AS IF...AS IF THERE WAS SOMEWAY FOR THAT CHILD TO NOT HAVE BEEN BORN." Not to mention it's hilarious that you also don't care about the life of the woman - which is ironic, right Person?

Not having sex could've kept a child from being born. Also, I never said anything about my tax dollars. You made an assumption.

Keep up with the bigotry and ignorance you two. The liberals sure do love laughing at you. Oh and since I know you two love to make incorrect assumptions and label people blindly, I'll save you the trouble - I'm no liberal, I'm Centrist. Thanks for coming!

I enjoy laughing at the way you change the subject and duck questions. Also, I never labeled you. I haven't used the word "liberal" one single time in this thread. Once again, you're making an assumption.
I haven't made a single bigoted statement in this thread, however, you have. Now you've moved on to making generalizations and assumptions.

It's really pathetic that SoD keeps trying to get my attention despite being on my ignore list. Give it a rest, bro. You're not getting anywhere and what's with your obsession with taking this thread off topic?

We're talking about Mississippi and how most of those backwater hillbilly politicians want to take away a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body.

Do you have a uterus, SoD? Are you so obsessed with what others do with their own body that you secretly want one so you can show the pro-choicers what having a baby is all about?

Don't bother answering it - you'll just make yourself look like a fool like always.

Okay, bro. I won't bother answering such a stupid question. For the second time, hillbilly refers to a mountain-dweller. At least use the proper insult.

Thanks for proving my point. I'm from the rural flatland South. No one has ever called me a hillbilly. Also, these definitions prove that the meaning is definitely derogatory.

*LOL* I proved that there are multiple, accepted definitions of the word. Boy, you anti-choice people have some really logic problems. I probably shouldn't laugh about it, but otherwise I'd cry.
