    Fightthetheocracy

    Why is it that when conservatives give their opinion on an issue such as gay marriage, abortion, etc. we're sticking our noses where they don't belong? Libs aren't sticking their noses in when laws are made in their favor? Redefining marriage for the first time in history is not sticking your nose where it doesn't belong? Just Libs should decide on abortion? Honestly, a baby in the womb at 8 1/2 months is not worthy of human rights, it's just a piece of tissue, and to deny a woman the "right" to terminate is denying her privacy? Pa-leeze.
