Please give my GD-P post a gander.

After becoming deeply involved in this thread yesterday ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1655716 ), I sat down last night and began re-reading selected items from my library regarding 1st Amendment issues. The resulting post ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1657300 )is my rebuttal, or 'defense case', to the above thread; please take a look,and feel free to add your own thoughts. Thanks!

2. it was a great post.

sometimes it is scary to go down that road to leads to even the thought of reproductive rights. In most minds it is a very black and white topic and God forbid you are on the wrong end of that topic.

btw, someone wrote in one of them something about starving in Ireland. As long as they have Guiness, they would be okay!

4. It's very scary, at times.

By no means does the pro-life movement have a lock on absolutist positions in the debate.

5. both sides have an absolutist position

generally speaking.

i tend to lean toward the pro-life side, but i am embarrased to admit so because of their absolute view.

6. It's frightening.

8. Did they deep-six your topic?

Just clicked on your link (second one) and got a "thread not found" message, or some such. Things got THAT bad, did they?
