Maybe that because most sane people realize that abortion is a very personal matter. If Hispanics are so religious then they won't seek an abortion, but they don't feel the need to force others to agree with them. They don't go around butting into others' private lives like conservatives do. THAT is why they overwhelmingly vote democrat.

Not true, but perhaps you know more than I. I've been involved in a dozen polls and more than 40 focus groups throughout the country.

I'd be interested in learning more about your research, however.

I can't believe he came up with such a stupid statement! A child born with microcephaly could cost society hundreds of thousands to a million to care for. If ever there was a need for abortion, this is it! Usually, people who oppose abortion are the first ones to decry large expenditures on social programs like Medicaid. Are these anti-abortion people willing to cough up the money to pay for the Zika babies?
So this child deserves to be killed.

Somehow, though I don't think you believe someone like Dylan Roof deserves the death penalty. But this child should be killed.

So glad you asked! I'm consistent in my views! I believe there are a few cases where "abortion after birth" is fully warranted! In the case of Dylan Roof, it is! Never assume Tom!

With Dylan Roof, instead of executing him by South Carolina's usual methods, I'd have him knocked out and then remove any and all organs that might be useful to someone who needed them! I'm a big fan of recycling!

Rubio has been consistent. Those who agree can vote accordingly. That actually makes him pretty rare in the political world.

If you are a one-issue voter, and abortion is your issue, then you have your answer.

I don't agree with his position, but since abortion is legal he is not in a position to impose it on anyone. Everyone with an understanding of the political process knows this.

So everyone should recognize this thread as a pro-Democrat, anti-Republican thread.

That's not necessarily true. I'd vote for Susan Collins and former Senator Olympia Snow! Not all Republicans are anti-abortion!

We didn't know my g-baby would be special needs- He was love love love for his short life. 7 yrs I say people, just stay out of it and let mom n dad decide... Zika is not the only birth defect nor can you talk about all of the people who survive accidents, illness, strokes, Dementia etc. Leave it alone. Rubio just speaks his mind, but does not make our decisions, and we have to live with reality- it's not perfect, but choices can be made. Not Rubio's or anyone's business .

No he is not. He is a big supporter of the useless wars that has seen thousands and thousands of innocent individuals killed.

Well YOU are consistent, that's for sure.

You consistently hijack every thread, singing the same old song.

Yeah! Once you're born, his concern for your welfare drops precipitously!
