steve quit spewing crap please.

You tirade is not on topic which is about relationships of different point of views, not going off on your ideology and having you stand up on you little soapbox to make a statement.

Steve said: “The Church always uses emotion rather than intellect”

Steve I believe that you are describing liberals not “The Church” if you try to have a serious debate with a liberal they change directions and are totally illogical they use feelings instead of logic. Having a serious debate on political issues with a liberal is like describing supply chain management to a five-year-old.

Sweetness I would never leave you for another woman. I just need to move myself to North Carolina. I just can’t do extreme long distance relationships. I sometimes wonder if I wasn’t thinking with the brainless one when it came to this relationship with this woman. It is good that we never did anything together. I do owe Alito for that.

Karl, I totally agree. When did women’s rights boil down to abortion. Also, it is time to stop using Roe improperly. It was intended only to allow abortions up to the 1st 2 trimesters. Not after that. It was not the intent of the SCOTUS to allow them after that time and it should not be allowed now. Also, this is a state’s rights issue. It should be put to a vote whether a state wants abortion or not. And for all the Libs out there that don’t agree, just look at all the tourism that would create for the Liberal states out there. – Lorica

Let’s do abortion. The concept behind abortion is reproductive rights, not sex. The principal was that a women should have the right to control her own body. And what she chose to do with her body was no one else’s business. If she chose an abortion that was her choice and she had the right to privacy in that choice. Now comes the Catholic Church to say that all abortion is murder. A silly position because nobody except fanatics believe that life begins at conception and is viable immediately. Leave it to the Intelligent Design, mental midgets to push that non-science. The Church always uses emotion rather than intellect. This issue has become tedious. Peace

I know what people like to say, that opposites attract, but for the most part you do have to have much in common otherwise you will always be at odds with each other.

Having some differences will make for a better learning experience for both partners, but if those differences are extremes, especially in politics and how strongly you feel about it, then I highly doubt it will work.

Take for example, do you think there is any kind of chance for two people who believe very strongly on ther views and positions on Abortion, but….

One is Pro-Abortion…
The Other is Anti-Abortion…

Because of the of thier views, positions on those views, and how much tey believe in those views, I highly doubt they would even talk to each other, let alone date.

I guess it boils down to how strongly both people believe in thier position and views in politics. If they are very strong beliefs, I do not think it would work at all.

Here’s another side of the equation. I recently dated a woman who is as devoutly anti-democrat as I am and the political discussions became sterile. Sure, we high-fived each other in our devastating take-downs and knowledge of the issues, but when all was said and done, it seemed rather an empty effort. I prefer having reasoned discussions where an alternative view can be considered. But I don’t think that is possible with todays liberals. So I have become comfortable in my aloneness.

As with Eminent Domain, let it become a State matter.

It already seems some states are already doing just that.

it is a common fallacy that a womans right to abortion is the lynch pin fo the whole civil rights movement for women.

There was so much more gained that focusing on the most contraversal aspect as your litmus is short sighted.

regardless the SD abortion ban will not be the shot heard round the world that ends abortion, assuming it actually passes constitutional muster, which I dont think it will

Even Bush has stated he has no realistic belief abortion will ever be abolished.

The ability to murder children so as to have what they think is consequence-free promiscuous sex is not a gain, but a grave injustice.
