Separation of church and state

[Tribetime]

I personally do not believe in abortion but I myself am I hypocrite for using forms of birth control. It is not my right to tell someone else what to do. I am a Democrat and I believe in all forms of life I do not believe in the death penalty or War. United States is not a religion like the Republicans think it is

1. nothing hypocritical about your stance. one is prevention, one is not nt

2. I Thought You Were Going To Say That's What's Next On Their "To Do" List

I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

They've been itching to get prayers introduced into schools for almost as long as they've been trying to deny women the right to control their own bodies.

10. That is what they want.

And every year some shithead who is trying to "preach morals" to everyone gets caught in a sex and/or money scandal.

And there are plenty of would-be theocrats on TV, the radio, and the Internet.

3. Birth control and abortion aren't the same at all.

Or do you mean your church is against birth control and you used it anyway? Thus feeling like a hypocrite because you were taught birth control is bad?

[Haggard Celine]

6. Abortion can be used as a form of birth control.

If a woman's birth control pills fail and she has an abortion to keep from carrying the pregnancy to term, she is possibly using abortion as a method of birth control. A lot of women have abortions because they feel it's not the right time for them to raise a child. I don't know the figures, but it might even be that most abortions are done for reasons other than health reasons. Some people think that it's wrong to have an abortion for any reasons that aren't medical. I don't see why that would be the case. Not wanting a child is just as good a reason as any to have an abortion, in my opinion, and shouldn't be stigmatized.

9. The OP used birth control to mean contraceptives. And contraceptives and abortion are not the same.

One prevents a pregnancy. One terminates a pregnancy.

In one a pregnancy exists to terminate. In the other it doesn't.

That's what I was responding to - some people are taught that contraception is the same as abortion - both evil.

Yes, I do understand what you're saying. I really do.

I don't care why a woman chooses abortion.

I don't care if she uses contraceptives.

I don't care what any religion teaches about either.

I am a woman. I support abortion.

4. Let's leave religion out of the picture....By taking birth control you

are deciding when or if you have a child. If more people did that then the issue of abortion would be far less of an issue. It's called "Family Planning".

If you want to bring religion into it then that is something that I cannot begin to discuss.

For me the issue of birth control by any means is your choice. The government has no role in that very personal decision.

5. your first sentence makes no sense

I mean, say what?

[Tribetime]

11. Hi Skittles how's it going in my mind the final result is the same

And and my mind what Jesus would they is they are both the same wrong

[Skittles]

12. how is abortion and birth control the same

that is ridiculous

and repukes don't do ANYTHING Jesus would have approved of

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. I will always be PRO-CHOICE...

I had both my children post Roe. Having an abortion never crossed my mind.

I did use Birth Control from early 1972 to early 1974. After the 2nd child born in 1977, we chose a more permanent option.

Should the next go after be all forms of Birth Control, including sterilization, look for organization of groups against Republicans at the state and federal levels like we have not seen. Government Control of this crosses the line of personal freedoms and overall liberty of decisions.
