		<description>Jill,

You are sadly misinformed about Sarah Palin. She did not line item veto money for a home for pregnant teenagers.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://myviewmytake.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/the-truth-about-sarah-palin-and-cutting-funding-for-teen-mother-programs/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Please see this article to learn the truth.&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I am bothered that Obama is pro-choice.  But I wish Republicans would quit focusing on this one aspect of a candidates&#039; platform.  There are many areas of sanctity of human life that Republicans fall short on.  What about caring for the children of the women who chose to keep their infants (Palin line item vetoed money for a home for pregnant teenagers), caring for the uninsured and providing health care for all, the poor elderly, and the death penalty.  I know what the old testament says about eye for an eye, but do we follow all of the Levitical laws or just those that are convenient.

Perhaps one day we will have a Democratic candidate, who is willing to acknowledge the problem with abortion, but until then I have to weigh out who I vote for based on something more than one topic.</description>

		<description>What is such a shame is that in a country with as many millions of people as we have, we are left with the two who are now running for presidency.  Is this the best we have?  No, it isn&#039;t the best we have, but what we see now is what we get.

One thing that amazes me is the fact many people will vote for Obama simply because of his skin color, not even considering his views on important issues.  In my opinion, Senator Obama is a very dangerous man, and should not be elected.

I know someone who used to comment on Obama&#039;s lack of patriotism (no flag on his lapel), not saluting the flag, not acknowledging God, etc., but has now changed his tune.  He recently said, &quot;it&#039;s time for a black man to be in the White House.&quot;  Reading between the lines, what he really said was &quot;let affirmative actions work at the highest level.&quot;

We must bombard heaven with prayer, asking God to deliver our great nation.  There is always hope.</description>

		<description>&quot;I wouldn&#039;t want someone anti-choice being in charge of public health&quot;. Hmmmm.

Dr. C. Everett Koop, as Surgeon General of this Country (the very head of Public Health) was/is very pro-life, and also the very reason I pursued my career in Public Health.

Just because someone holds a different view point than you Will, that makes them stupid? Wow, so much for diversity and understanding. You have an incredibly isolating and narrow view of people. I seem to recall a leader in Europe that decided that only people that agreed with him and were just like him had the right to live. I also seem to recall that in the end that world view didn&#039;t work out so well for him.

What you refuse to understand is that I am so much more than just stopping abortions. See not only do I promote health, I also promote PREVENTION ... be it disease prevention or the preventing of an unwanted pregnancy. I would love to see every pregnancy greeted with happiness and joy, but until people stop doing things for pleasure without considering the consequences (in this example an unwanted pregnancy), that will be hard to do. That is also why I promote adoption. There are so many couples unable to have children that would love to welcome these little ones into their homes and their hearts, even if the child wasn&#039;t &quot;perfect&quot;.</description>

		<description>Well, Larry, if you read it that way, that&#039;s fine.  I only question the intelligence of people who don&#039;t display any.  Like when you say &quot;It is a theory, not a scientific fact.&quot;  You must not know very much about either, nor what science is, nor what it does, to make such a statement.

I don&#039;t personally believe that&#039;s an attack; I just think it&#039;s commenting on your intelligence (or what I perceive as your lack thereof).

But I&#039;ll go away.  I can tell when I&#039;m not wanted.  You take good care.</description>

		<description>Will,
Yes, if you question someone&#039;s intelligence, I believe that is personally insulting someone.  As I said, disagreeing is one thing, but I felt your comment was insulting.  I wouldn&#039;t let someone insult you and I will not let you insult someone else on my blog.

As for One Mom&#039;s comment, if you think for one minute that she thinks that a &quot;Christian&quot; terrorist is okay for bombing an abortion clinic, then you do not know her very well. She can chime in her on her own accord, but let me say this.  The reason I put &quot;Christian&quot; in quotes is that there is no such thing as a &quot;Christian&quot; terrorist.  The people who have bombed abortion clinics are just as wrong as the people who committed the unspeakable acts on 9/11 and anyone else who does anything like that.

As for Darwinism, I can very well disagree with it and evolution.  It is a theory, not a scientific fact.</description>

		<description>Larry: I personally insulted someone?  I merely commented on what I perceive as someone&#039;s intelligence (or lack thereof).  That I did so struck me as odd, too; you&#039;d think someone with a PhD in public health (or at least pursuing one) would know better.

I wouldn&#039;t want someone anti-choice being in charge of public health.  The public health considers women&#039;s right to choice, because otherwise, people will resort to back-alley abortions with clothes hangers.  It&#039;s a bit like gun control; you regulate it, you end up with a situation where only the criminals have guns.  My father always used to say locks are for honest people; take away women&#039;s access to abortions and they won&#039;t stop having them--they&#039;ll just start finding other places to get them, most of which wouldn&#039;t be as medically sound as the places that currently offer them.

Onemom irked me with her comment: &quot;We go to war when there is a threat to our freedom or our very lives.&quot;  It is the very Christian problem of calling other people threats to our lives and then thinking that Christian terrorists&#039; bombing of abortion clinics is a fight on the right side.

I don&#039;t expect you to agree with me; chances are, I know, you won&#039;t.

And finally; well you &lt;i&gt;can&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; disagree with Darwinism, can you?  It&#039;s evolution; it&#039;s not something to disagree with--it&#039;s something to understand.  You have about as much chance of disagreeing with gravity as you do disagreeing with Darwinism; you still can, if you&#039;d like, but it&#039;s not going to let you fly.</description>

		<description>Will,

I started to not even approve your latest comment, but I try to be very fair about my comment moderation.  However, be warned that it is the last time you will make a comment like that on my blog.  You can disagree with me or anyone else all you want to, but to make a personal insult to One Mom, or to anyone else for that matter is not acceptable.  Again, disagree all you want, but do not make personal insults to anyone.

As for Darwinism and the survival of the fittest, etc., I couldn&#039;t disagree with you more.</description>

		<description>&quot;Regarding birth defects … so you’re an advocate for killing the less than perfect in the womb? What about those that have been born with defects, should we do away with them too? What about the teenager with a brain injury from football now functioning as a 5 year old?&quot;

Well, I kind of believe in Darwinism, and the survival of the fittest, strongest, most intelligent, etc.

Which obviously leaves you out.  Sorry.</description>
