freeandfun1 said:You asked me to point to verses in the Bible and I did. Christ even speaks of it as a sin. So you can believe what you want. I didn't just "cut and paste".
And as for abortion, as Gem said, just because "abortion" isn't mentioned directly.... geeze bully.
It is acknowleged in the Bible that murder is a sin. It is acknowledged that God develops a child in the womb. Aborting something God developed is murder and therefore, a sin. Is that so hard for your simple mind to grasp?
By the way, if anybody is "cut'n and paste'n" it is YOU.
Which god do you speak of...? THere have been many throughout human history, and there will, doubtless, be many more.
But again, that's not the issue here. The issue is the politization of religion by the Republican leadership for the purpose of gutting an independent judiicary. They are attacking any who are opposed to such an agenda as "un-Christian" and "immoral". They are simply using the issues of abortion and same-gender relationships as hot-button issues to polarize a loud, raucous and ignorant minority who are determined to foist this agenda on the nation. The end result, if this agenda succeeds, will be the destruction of the Republic and the establishment of an American theocracy.
And since you've already drunk the kool-aid, you should know that 60 of Bill Clinton's court nominees were bottled up in committee, never coming to the floor for a vote...This is known as a pocket filibuster. And the Democrat filibuster of <b>10</b> Bush nominees is not "the first time in the history of the Republic" that the filibuster has been used to block judicial appointments.
In <a href=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45149-2005Mar17.html>1968</a> <b><i>the Republicans</i></b> filibustered Lyndon Johnson's nominee to be Chief Justice of the US, Abe Fortas. Orrin Hatch, Arlen Specter and Dick Cheney have <b>ALL</b> lied in stating that judicial nominees have never before been filibustered.
