if aborted how would they know or care?
what if mankind did not believe in war?
I don`t think they consider it pro-abortion
pro-choice
a man who knocks the woman up then tells her how to live with it
yep, cons like telling others how to live
kill a hundred thousand women, elderly and kids in iraq, cool, but a womans choice is a sin
pompous holier than thou

What? I have no idea what the point here is....but a womans choice is a sin

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
In 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes demanded that the Spartans give up their weapons. King Leonidas responded with the phrase ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ (molon labe) which meant "Come and take them." This led to the Battle of Thermopylae, in which a small group of Greek warriors held off a far superior group of Persians for three days.
Similarly, in 1831, the Mexican army gave a small piece of field artillery to settlers in Gonzales, Texas, to help them fend off Indian attacks. At the onset of the Texas Revolution, the Mexican army asked for the cannon back. In response, the settlers raised a homemade flag with an image of the weapon and the words "Come and Take It" emblazoned across it.
The twin phrases "ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ/molon labe" and "Come and Take It" have become synonymous with the promotion of the Second Amendment and other fundamental liberties. They are antithetical to the idea of unilateral disarmament.
Today, snowflakes across the country walked out of class to protest "gun violence" and demand new confiscatory gun laws. The poorly informed young woman in the photo was part of today`s Tide Pod Walkout. Note the slogan (and date) on her shirt, and the protest sign in her hands.
Seriously--this is the most ironic photo I`ve seen in a long time.

Isn`t it ironic that this country has two groups that that feel it`s so important to pass laws they feel (and probably rightly so - eh, to a point/on the surface) will save lives. But, they both hate each other for it.
Both groups are so much alike and so blind to seeing it.

No, the dems want to disarm the American people, have open borders and make us a 3rd world country. (socialism, communism, anti business, high percentage of people not working, healthcare designed to harm the economy and the deficit, IRS used to attack concervitaves, spying, police state, ect ect ect)
The republicans are fighting to keep the soventry of our country.
In political jargon, a useful idiot is a derogatory term for a person perceived as a propagandist for a cause the goals of which they are not fully aware, and who is used cynically by the leaders of the cause.[1][2] The term was originally used to describe non-Communists regarded as susceptible to Communist propaganda and manipulation.[1] The term has often been attributed to Vladimir Lenin, but this attribution is controversial.[3][4]

No, I don`t think you`re the same. You`re reading things into my words that aren`t there.
I think people on the right have commonalities with people on the left. I think they don`t see it because they are only seeing sides to an issue. They don`t see how similar they are in their thought process, their wanting to be part of a group, their methods of obtaining information, their inability/unwillingness to try to comprehend/think about what the other group is saying (Both sides are very quick to just call the other side evil.), etc. I could go on.
Wanting to pass laws to force all people to live the way they feel is best - a commonality of the right and left.
