1. Abortion is NOT in the US Constitution. So pass a LAW that regulates it and stop whining. As it is now the STATES regulate abortions. Perfectlly per the US Constitution.
It was precedent for 50 years. That republicans repealed will result in Republicans losing at the ballot box.
the 9th amendment explains that we have many rights not enumerated in the Constitution, so that fact that it is not there is not an argument.
2. "No democrat you know"????? How ******* stupid is that? The LAWS in those 8-states allow late term abortions. By voting democrat you enable baby butchering. Simple Fact.
How many EU countries or Britain allow late term abortions?
Name one democrat that approves of a late term abortion that is not done to save the mother's life.
Otherwise, you are lying.
3. Only the able-bodied between 18-55 with no dependents would be required to work.
No one that is able bodied between those ages can qualify for welfare in most states and circumstances.
4. You can't defend the FACT that there is a difference between Bigotry and Morality.
No, I raised no point that required it. My only point is that YOU are a bigot, and your bigotry is immoral.
One of the differences is the difference between deviant sexual behavior and normal sexual behavior.
Another difference are the religious beliefs of many religions that teach immorality is wrong.
Concerned parents do not want the public schools pushing immorality on their children.
You can call me a bigot for defending morality. I wear that badge with honor. How do you like your badge "Deviant & Baby Killer"?
No, your premise that homosexuality is immoral and therefore deviant is false, it is not based on reality, which is to say, modern psychology, sociology, anthropology, and psychiatry and the soft sciences, and, your opinion flows from the wellspring of general bigotry, which makes you a bigot.
For your edification, my research reveals the following:
The understanding and acceptance of homosexuality within the fields of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and psychiatry have indeed evolved significantly over the years. In the past, prevailing cultural and societal norms often led to the classification of homosexuality as deviant or mentally pathological. However, as research and understanding progressed, a more comprehensive and inclusive perspective emerged, recognizing homosexuality as a natural and normal variation of human sexuality. Let's explore the evolution within each field:
Psychology: In the past, psychology classified homosexuality as a mental disorder. This perspective began to change in the 1970s when the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The shift was supported by research demonstrating that homosexuality does not inherently lead to psychological dysfunction. Today, mainstream psychology acknowledges homosexuality as a normal and valid expression of human sexuality.
Sociology: Sociological perspectives have contributed to understanding homosexuality as a social construct influenced by cultural, historical, and societal factors. Sociologists have examined how social norms, power dynamics, and institutions shape attitudes towards homosexuality. As societal attitudes evolved, sociology played a crucial role in challenging stigmatization and promoting acceptance of diverse sexual orientations.
Anthropology: Anthropological studies have demonstrated that same-sex attraction and relationships have been present in various cultures throughout history. Anthropologists have documented diverse cultural understandings of gender and sexuality, challenging the notion that heterosexuality is the only "natural" or "normal" orientation. By highlighting cultural relativity, anthropology has contributed to the understanding of homosexuality as a valid expression of human diversity.
Psychiatry: Psychiatry has also progressed in its understanding of homosexuality. With the removal of homosexuality from the DSM, psychiatry recognized the importance of destigmatizing same-sex attraction. Mental health professionals have played a role in challenging conversion therapies and promoting affirmative and supportive approaches to LGBTQ+ individuals.
These fields have embraced evidence-based research, critical thinking, and a commitment to inclusivity, leading to a shift in perspective from pathologizing homosexuality to affirming it as a normal and natural variation of human sexuality. However, it's important to note that discrimination, stigma, and societal challenges still persist for LGBTQ+ individuals in many contexts, and ongoing efforts are needed to promote equality and acceptance.
Not all religious groups uphold homosexuality as 'deviant', to wit:
Over the years, several religious groups and denominations have become more accepting of homosexuality and have taken steps to affirm and include LGBTQ+ individuals within their communities. It's important to note that religious beliefs and interpretations can vary within different denominations and even among individual members. Here are a few examples of religious groups that have become more accepting:
- Reform Judaism: The Reform Jewish movement has been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ inclusion. The Central Conference of American Rabbis, the principal organization of Reform rabbis, passed a resolution in 1990 affirming the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, and many Reform synagogues perform same-sex marriages and ordain openly LGBTQ+ clergy.
- Unitarian Universalist Association: Unitarian Universalism is a religious denomination that embraces a wide range of theological beliefs and encourages acceptance and inclusion. The UUA has a long history of supporting LGBTQ+ rights and performing same-sex marriages.
- Episcopal Church: The Episcopal Church in the United States has made significant strides towards LGBTQ+ inclusion. In 2003, the church ordained its first openly gay bishop, and in 2015, it voted to allow same-sex marriages to be performed in its churches.
- Metropolitan Community Church: The Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) is a denomination founded specifically to serve LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies. The MCC affirms the worth and spirituality of all people, including LGBTQ+ individuals, and conducts same-sex marriages.
- United Church of Christ: The United Church of Christ has been a progressive Christian denomination, openly affirming LGBTQ+ inclusion. The church has advocated for LGBTQ+ rights and has supported same-sex marriage ceremonies.
- Quakers (Religious Society of Friends): Some Quaker meetings have become more accepting and affirming of LGBTQ+ individuals. Quaker beliefs emphasize equality, integrity, and respect for all people, which has led to a more inclusive stance on homosexuality in some Quaker communities.
In my view, the ONLY reason to uphold homosexuaity as 'deviant' is bigotry, where, when 'religion' is cited, it is merely using the Bible to rationalize one's bigotry, given that one MUST cherry pick the Bible in order to use the Bible as the basis for one's belief.
It is the reason that one MUST cherry pick the Bible that doing so is bigotry. Clearly, you do not believe in stoning prostitutes? So, if you are honest say your religion is the basis for your believe against Homosexuality, why aren't you supporting stoning prostitutes? Therefore, ' cherry picking' PROVES you are a bigot.
