    Wychwood and FTT

    You both seem to be hung up on religion. Where in my posts is my reasoning based on religion? Believing an 8 1/2 month old in the womb needs protection has nothing to do with religion. Obviously neither of you have ever seen an ultrasound. FTT: where did I write "stopping gays from getting married is more important than...everything"? Interracial marraige has absolutely nothing to do with same sex marriage. Amendments to the Constitution have a high hurdle to overcome, so why all the comnplaining? And again, I'm not talking about life at conception...is an 8 1/2 month old a worthless piece of crap because the mother is inconvenienced? Libs want to protect the most obscene cases of late-term abortions because they're worried about the slippery slope. You can't even admit that.
