  • What do pro-life people think of?

    Fetus in fetu?

    Is it murder if you have the 2nd twin removed from the healthy twin? Or should that healthy twin live with his alive twin in his body and have it grow with him? The fetus in fetu is alive- as long as it stays in the host...

  • Why do pro-life people hate "family planning"?

    Why is it that anyone (aka Jon Boener) that is pro-life- hates family planning? Is it really that bad to want women to get basic health care? Can you tell me what is bad about this portion of the stimulus package that it had to be cut?

    "The Medicaid Family Planning State Option is a provision that would provide health care coverage for 2.3 million low-income women while generating savings for states and the federal government."

    Someone from the pro life area explain to me what is wrong with basic healthcare for women. You say abortion is wrong and should be illegal, YET you do not want to equip women with healthcare, nor help them finish an education so they can get good jobs to care for the baby, or any other program to help them out. Do you just want to punish women who get pregnant?

  • If you ask a girl to be your bridesmaid, and then she stops talking to you...what does that mean?

    SO, I am having a tiny wedding and have 3 bridesmaids from each stage of my life, my sister, my childhood best friend, and my college best friend. My college best friend and I have been close since we met, we were sorority Big/Lil'...and have kept in very regular contact over the years. We now don't live in the same city, but she accepted the bridesmaid position (I was in her wedding)- and she doesn't have to buy a dress- she can wear whatever she wants! BUT, last we spoke, she said she didn't want to help with any planning (which is fine b/c I have people to do that) and then I haven't heard from her since. Do you think she just doesn't want to be in the wedding and doesn't want to tell me? Any suggestions on what to do about this?

  • Do you relate to these political supporters? Or do they frighten you?

    Watch this clip and let me know if you relate to them and the way they think or if they completely terrify you. I am of the latter. It is from a politcal rally.

  • So Republicans claim not to be hypocrites?

    So- "Obama Bin Biden" posted a question on here in the politics section asking if you have ever gotten a YA drive by. And said liberals were fools for blocking him. He blocked me, after I answered his question- and disagreed with him. So is the Right Wing freak- "Obama Bin Biden" a hypocrite?

  • Why would Megan McCain say this?

    "No one knows what war is like other than my family. Period."

    Is she discrediting all the families who serve or have family members that serve in the military? As active duty or Veteran?

  • Every other candidate has to answer questions, why doesn't Palin?

    So- all the candidates have to answer questions- and have to know each others policies- why doesn't Palin get the same treatment? If she is as qualified as everyone says, then she should be ready to answer questions. They told Hillary to take it like a man- so shouldn't Palin?

    Why are they saying that she won't be ready for two weeks?

  • Are any of the other Pro Choice people on here sick of being called...?

    A baby killer?

    Just b/c Obama and all the rest of us who are pro-choice does not mean we support abortion- or "baby killing". It just means that we leave the decision to the woman, couple, family.

    I am pro-choice- I have NEVER had an abortion, and I do not encourage them. I have had a close friend who received an abortion, a close friend who gave a baby up for adoption, and a close friend who had the baby and is raising him as a single parent. And guess what, I didn't give my two cents about what they should do, unless they asked me, I just supported them and their right to choose what to do. The main issue of Pro-choice isn't trying to talk everyone out there to get an abortion- it is about practicing safe sex, keeping birth control available for everyone, teaching sexual education (which includes abstinence), and leaving the decision a PRIVATE FAMILY MATTER.

    So to all the pro-lifers out there- how many of you have had a close friend or yourself gotten pregnant? Who made the decision for you on what to do with the baby?

    (and try to answer this question honestly- not with screaming hatred)

  • How has your life been bettered over the last 8 years?

    I get a lot of flack for being a liberal in Texas. And so I was wondering, what has happened over the last 8 years that has made the US and your life better? Specifically vs the 8 years under Clinton? What is it about McCain that makes you want to vote for him? Is it the high gas prices? The war? The government having the ability to listen in on your conversations without warrant? Less federal funding for many things like student loans, environmental control? What is it that has made your life better the last 8 years and what is McCain promising to do to keep your life better?

  • Diminished Car Value?

    What do you need to prove diminished value for your vehicle? Was in an accident that wasn't my fault and the insurance company paying for the repairs gave me a number to call- but before I call I want to know what I should have on me to get diminished value. Right now the damage is already more than half of what I owe on my car- and what I owe is less than blue book value- even for not good condition of a car. Anyone know what I should bring to the table? Also- repairs and estimate of damage are not complete.

  • Can this be right?

    A girl hit me in traffic- doing major damage to my car. I have put a claim into her insurance company and have left her numerous messages to do the same. (she has hung up on me and is avoiding my calls) Her insurance company (All State) says they will not do a damn thing until they speak with her. Why won't they help me out? The police gave her citations for the accident. My insurance has already processed a claim- but if I go thru them I am out my deductible and it will go on my record. I won't get reimbursed till All State pays them back. BUT- until this girl calls them- they won't do anything. HELP!!?!?!? WHAT CAN I DO!??? Why is the law on the side of the person who caused the accident? How can she get away with not turning this into her insurance? It is frustrating b/c I am on the losing end of this and I did nothing wrong.

  • What kind of foods can you suggest for a low carb diet?

    Ok- I went on a low carb diet and I found a list of foods for snacks, but not many recipes or dinner/lunch ideas except wraps. Can anyone give me suggestions?

    Also- I am on a low carb diet b/c it is the only thing I have found that eases my stomach pains after meals. Tried lots of diet adjustments and cutting out unnecessary carbs is the only thing that keeps me feeling good. I will and love to eat whole grain foods.
