Poll is anonymous as I want folks to be free in their responses. Thank you.
The president and the congress being responsible for maintaining an army and national defense is in the US Constitution, there is nothing in there about taking money from citizens so Mary Jo can get her abortion because swim suit season is coming.

There isn't anything in there either about providing defense for men who think that women have abortions because swimsuit season is coming. I say we cut you off...

I am Pro-Life* and against all foreign military action.

The asterisk after Pro-life is because I find abortion morally reprehensible but I don't support any legislation one way or the other regarding the practice. It is none of the government's business whatsoever in my opinion. I say let the individuals decide moral issues on their own. I am not God.

I am against all foreign military actions because I feel that they are initiations of force and do not directly serve to protect America. My kooky beliefs regarding the military should only be used to retaliate against direct attacks upon our national boundaries. "Defensive" wars and occupations abroad are nothing more than profit makers for the military complex and blood makers for the people.

I'm pro-choice and against the Iraq war. I'm also against federally funded elective abortions.

Unless it is an identical twin or triplet. Okay to abort them all under those circumstances??? If not, then your unique DNA argument doesn't really have any meaning to it at all, does it? It's just another smokescreeen to mask what boils down to nothing more than your personal religious beliefs.

You are welcome to those. And everyone else is welcome to ignore them...

A baby is not part of a womans body; there's no chart in any a & p class anywhere that will show you a fetus as part of the female anatomy. A baby has it's own dna.

I can't wait until you graduate college and realize that all of the nonsense that spilled out of your Marxist Sociology 101 professor's mouth was complete bunk.

Thats a funny assumption because I graduted from college 12 years ago and then graduate school 3 years after that. An unborn fetus cannot survive without its mother until much later in pregnancy. Comparing that to a walking talking breathing human is somewhat silly. You do realiz that the woman's body grows the baby along with the placenta which is an organ. So it is part of here body.

Would you prefer that 3 million children each year be brought into the world who are not wanted or unable to be taken care of?? That would make the world better

Yeah yeah the typical marxist remark....everyone not like you is a communist
