As I said, it is a hypothetical, and no it does not. People die all the time. SO the question remains. If Life begins at conception, does that change your view of abortion? Simple question. We can debate the other issues at another time.

After Myrannder's excellant post on his reasons for voting Kerry, and his reservations, I was struck by one particular comment he made. Or actually that he attributed to Kerry. SO I would like anyone interested to answer this purely hypothetical question. For the record, I doubt that we will ever get this finite an answer, but for this hypothetical, here

Great article, but I think this is the cart before the horse. Instead of Catholics (or any other 'swing' group) can be said to be determining the election, perhaps it is just the candidates are getting the support and they just happen to be Catholic. I dont see this group, or any other that is named a 'swing' group having a central body that marches them lockstep for one candidate or another (like labor unions and blacks). So before

First, a big ROFL! for quoting the Guardian. If you want to make an arguement, they are not the ones to quote. To wit: Because of that event, the US has re-imagined itself as a victim nation: witness the yellow-ribbon bumperstickers, usually bearing the slogan "Support America". (Ribbons were previously res

well, since the pope really hasn't mattered in about 500 years, I think we'll be ok I hoppe you mean in a government sense, and not in a spiritual one.

While the site may be a hoax the fact still remains that the church CAN excommunicate you! I know this for fact.

I wonder if any of the pro-abortion folks would change their minds if a law were passed allowing for retroactive abortions. Say, when the child is 20, or 30, or 40 the mother has the right to decide to abort that child retroactively. Might solve a lot of problems. Actually, they are called post partum

Agent Orange was a defoliant, not a chemical weapon. Tht it was later found to be a carcinogen is not relevant tot he Geneva Convention. The Invasion of Iraq was provoked by his refusal to live up to the armistice he signed when he was kicked out of Kuwait. The war never ended, it was just put on hold to give Saddam a chance, which he blew. Political prisoners are not covered under the Geneva convention, however if you are referring to the

First, I dont buy the premise.

There is nothing that would get me to vote for kerry. But I would vote for Gephardt or Lieberman under the right circumstances (Lieberman if he was the nominee! Gephardt if he renounced a couple of his previous statements). I am conservative, but I dont like many of Bush's policies. I dont hate them, I just feel we can do better. Those 2 I think could. But not Kerry. He has the blood of many veterans on his hands, and blood does not wash

This is a very thoughtful and interesting article. Having worked in education for over 10 years, but not on the college level, I see the bias. And it is not even left wing or right wing, but PC. At least on the Elelmntary and secondary level. it is a shame taht children can not be taught history for fear of offending one group or another. And the worst part is that most of the teachers do not even realize they are brainwashed and doing it

For a practicing Catholic, both Abortion and the Death Penalty are morally wrong. However, as pointed out before, Bush is not a Catholic, and is not bound by their beliefs. ANd while Bush was Governor of Texas, many were put to death, the simple fact is that he had very little control over who was put on death row and who was executed. Yes, he could have commuted the sentences, but then the alarm would be sounded that he was bucking the w
