Google "harlequin babies" and tell me you honestly think women should be forced to carry on with those pregnancies, creating children that would have to live with that.

It is up to individuals, their beliefs, religious persuasions, etc., to determine what is moral for themselves.

The state should not be in the business of dictating morality unless there is a compelling public health reason or community standard for doing so.

I just wonder if we actually surveyed the woman who actually have abortions we would no doubt find lots of Republicans. Like an elected official who was pro life who tried to force his mistress to have an abortion.

Not helpful. If people become unglued that transcends political party. Infact, posts and attituded like yours leads to the generalized characterization of the other that causes violence. So your a contributor to that kind of behavior. Like I have said before, I was a Republican and dont think Republicans support their party out of evil. And for your info one day your car will breakdown or you will need help and a liberal will be the one who helps you. Stop the attacks, keep it idea based.

I love it when Trump said "they rip the baby out", its such a unique phrase.
Trump always has the best phrases.

Even with a conservative court, I don't think either one will be overturned. I'm not a Trump supporter though, just my opinion. Why would anyone want to go backwards to making abortions illegal again. The richer people will go somewhere else and the poor and the middle class will find a butcher to do it, just like before. Just cause it's illegal doesn't mean it still won't happen.

Jesus said the last days would become like Sodom and Gomorrah, so that's why homosexual marriage is just now being normalized. We are on the cusp of Jesus return.

It will go back to the states. There's already four states that will make abortion illegal if Roe V. Wade is overturned. But there's eight states that have made abortion legal regardless of Roe V. Wade.

A chart of the states can be found here:

Not sure how you arrive at that conclusion . Let's pretend for a moment that this CD poll did actually represent the US on the whole.

What is a moral?

If a moral is a person's standards on what is acceptable for that person to do, then it is guidelines for YOU to live by. Not me. Not your neighbor, not Joe down the road. It might be immoral for YOU to have an abortion, but not immoral for someone else.

The other definition talks about what is acceptable in society. And that's where your argument that America is immoral is inherently flawed. If you want to use this poll to say that America is immoral because 74% of the "population" is likely fine with keeping Abortion and Gay Marriage laws the way they are, then society has spoken to say that society on the whole has accepted that this is acceptable behavior.

I could then conclude that people that want to limit a woman or a gay couples' rights are in fact immoral.
