It's all about wanting power and control over other people they have no business with in the first place. Makes them feel better about their own screwed up lives (and those that have suffered because of them). Read the book Republican Gomorrah: Inside The Movement That Shattered The Party-it will give you a good idea of what kind of lives they lead.
I'll respect your choices enough to not want to see any regulation of this at a federal level, but do not attempt to use my tax money to do it. you can respect my beliefs that much at least.
If that's happening where you are that's a local or state issue. you have the power to deal with that, so stop whining to me about it.
besides, you're comparing schooling and social services to institutionalized, systematic infanticide. you're past the point of apples and oranges and into comparing apples to basketballs.
It's odd. Google federal faith-based initiatives and see where tax money is going. Schools affiliated with big name evangelicals are raking in thousands. Go take a look and don't assume anyone wants to whine to you. And put your money where your mouth is-become legally responsible for an unwanted fetus, from cradle to age 18. Responsible for child care, finances, everything. Then come talk to me.
if you do not have access to those contraceptives, then your choices are more limited.
Bottom line--if you do not want kids, then do not have sex. If you have sex, be prepared to live with the consequences. Live with the consequences of your actions. You profess to be a Libertarian but you do not believe people have a responsibility to live with the consequences of their actions?
I know that some people think that everyone has the right to free love as strongly as they have the right to breathe, it's just not true. While sex does feel good and we have a strong drive towards it, we also have strong droves to laziness and to eating foods that are high in sugar, fat, and cholesterol. How many people that have no control over their sex drive sweat and toil in the gym or deny their sweet tooth?
Inability to control any of those baser instincts puts you on the same level as an animal. I have as little respect for those that cannot control their laziness or their culinary appetite as I do for those that cannot control their sexual appetite. My weight problem didn't come about until after a Navy surgeon crippled me fo...

My weight problem didn't come about until after a Navy surgeon crippled me for life, and I still carefully evaluate everything I eat or drink.
That's my solution to the problem. When people start behaving like humans instead of thinking animals the issue of unwanted fetuses goes away. So too do many of the other problems facing us today.
And it's pretty obvious that you only read what you like, since you obviously missed the "I'll respect your choices enough to not want to see any regulation of this at a federal level"
Which means that I am not one of the ones attempting to pass legislation against it. I live my life by example.
My present position of inability to care for a child is one of the reasons I've been celibate for over 6 years. When my financial situation changes, I'll start dating again. Until then, I'm not going to place myself in a situation where I may have a child I cannot care for. You see, I practice what I preach. My money IS where my mouth is--I can't care for a child, so I don't risk starting one. I'm taking responsibility for my actions, thanks. I also took care of my ex-wife's child for 8 years so she could track down the kid's real father. If I hadn't done so, she would have aborted the child. Again, my money, roughly $75,000 of it, went where my mouth is.
and as for federal funding? I personally don't think any federal money of any kind should be going to schools, I think it should be handled at the state and local levels and the private sector. if the state or local levels want to turn it over to churches, then that's something to be handled at that level, where you have more direct control over the matter. That's the position I've always espoused. Does it make you happier than the current situation?
or do it the Bachman way.
Insult the crazy neoconservative chick all you want.
no skin off my nose.
you do realize that the more you pull this kind of crap the more you come off as an arrogant jackass, right? Which in turn makes anyone in the middle you may someday potentially sway that much less likely to listen to you.
so go ahead, keep acting like a 5-year old boy throwing a temper tantrum, it just makes my position stronger.
you do realize that the "suffer not a witch to live" is actually a deliberate mistranslation, right? It goes back to a Hebrew word for "caster of harmful spells" or "poisoner." And yes, there was a distinction between those who cast harmful spells and those who cast beneficial ones; one of the reason that the Hebrews had difficulty accepting Christ as the son of God was that the only miracle he performed that had not been done earlier was raising the dead. All the others had been done by the casters of beneficial spells, which were, ironically enough, all seen as rabbis or minor prophets.
Screw that!
WE CAN DO WHAT EVER WE WANT AS WE HAVE MONEY- BUT WHAT ABOUT THE POOR?
