Isn't it amazing that Dumbocrats cried in the streets like little girls over terrorists being interrogated with some slightly (and I stress slightly) harsh tactics, but they celebrate the murder of an American baby?
I mean, if you value life so much that you weep over a vicious terrorist having water splashed in his face, how the **** do you celebrate, support, and fund an innocent baby being brutally and horrifically murdered?
what was the name of the baby ?
Hi Tyrone. In my case, I had named my baby Matthew, and I felt he died and his spirit left me while I was emotionally coerced to have an abortion even though I didn't believe in that and wanted to have and keep the baby as my original intent. My boyfriend threatened to commit suicide if I had and gave the baby up for adoption.
Nobody "celebrated" this. Instead, everyone was ashamed, and I got blamed for it even though I felt raped, like blaming a victim for something she didn't choose but was forced into.
I am still prochoice and believe that is the only way to take all steps necessary to prevent abortion. But I totally understand why the prolife advocates protest this issue.
Many abortions happen before the baby's soul enters into the body. But in my case, the baby was already a baby to me. So the baby had to be killed in spirit first before I would consent to go through the abortion afterward.
I believe I was meant to go through this experience so I could understand both sides of the prochoice prolife issue and not judge people for their beliefs. But try to achieve the goal of preventing ALL abortion from a prochoice approach, which I believe is more constitutional.
You can't imagine my horror when the same prochoice advocates started pushing and defending this ACA mess. All the arguments about constitutional freedom from govt controls went out the window. So now I'm fighting for prochoice with prolife advocates who seem to have a better grip of the constitution. I am having next to zero luck explaining the concept of constitutional equal choice to my fellow liberal friends who have gone off the deep end with pushing gay marriage through the state and not as a free choice, and now this health care mandate. These things should be kept local and/or private if you want to keep free choice. If you want to delegate something to federal govt that isn't EXPRESSLY stated in the Constitution, it either requires a Constitutional amendment and/or ALL the public (all parties and states, not just one party pushing a biased policy) need to AGREE first since the govt is supposed to represent ALL views.
I have better success explaining to prolife people why the laws need to include all Views, but am striking out trying to explain this to prochoice people who put party before the Constitution. I think Republicans traditionally have similar difficulty with their far right fringe putting religion before the Constitution. With the leftwing, it is harder to define because their "religion" is secular and uses political language, but is clearly a marked difference in beliefs similar to a political religion. Because it uses political instead of religious language, it is not recognized as a religion, but are the equivalent beliefs.
I normally use either the Constitution and/or Christian principles to "check" people and reach agreement. But with the far left who don't relate to those principles, I either have to make analogies to experiences they understand, or real life examples to make points.
Tyrone you seem to focus on very succinct points.
Can you help come up with an "analogy" for liberals to understand why pushing this federal mandate on private health insurance goes against free choice?
For example, when my prolife friends didn't understand how can you be against abortion and for prochoice, I explained it using the death penalty. That none of the prolife people want to see people executed; but we want to prevent that by preventing murder, not by banning execution. You can still keep execution as a legal choice "on the books" but never invoke it because murder is prevented. Same with prochoice and preventing abortion without banning it.
Now what is the equivalent of making all people pay for private insurance or pay a fine to govt? I tried using "spiritual healing" that this would save more lives and resources to serve even more people; so why not mandate that through federal govt and make everyone go through that process or pay fines to cover the higher risks and costs of disease?
Clearly people would NOT agree to mandate that, even after spiritual healing is medically proven to cure disease, because it requires free choice. But if insurance can be mandated when it could or should be a free choice, why not mandate spiritual healing in order to cover even more people?
This analogy is not working because people don't know spiritual healing works and is medically proven.
Can you help me come up with an analogy that would make sense to prochoice or singlepayer advocates?
Can you name something that you believe without question should remain voluntary by nature, but since one group believes it is necessary anyway and the best or only solution, they are mandating it through federal govt while you believe that is an abuse of govt to push this on people who believe in voluntary free choice to pursue, fund and participate in other alternatives?
What about sex? Like no one can have sex unless you PROVE you have means/insurance to pay for the kids who "may result."
And if you have sex without this, then you pay a fine to govt. Is that close? Can you work with that and create a parallel analogy?
