Man, if you don't have a womb, how can you possibly have sufficient perspective to establish what those who do can legally do with the contents of theirs? Sure, guys are welcome to have an opinion on abortion, but they shouldn't be the primary decision-makers regarding a situation that they cannot possibly ever personally experience. How presumptuous and arrogant is that?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101289328294242999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-36309007917277654822008-10-28T17:31:00.000-05:002008-10-28T17:31:00.000-05:00I linked to your post as my next in the series of ...I linked to your post as my next in the series of 1,000 posts to read before you die..<BR/><BR/>Ironic, that the first post of yours that I shared as one of the 1,000 posts to read before you die - was about Obama.

It is THE number one determining factor in voting to these guys and gals that are my peers and my parents' peers. To kill or not to kill - if you do, you'll not be voted for. If you don't, you'll get the vote.<BR/><BR/>I'm not so sure that Obama will win. He might.<BR/><BR/>McCain might surprise us all. Hope is alive and well.<BR/><BR/>But, at least Mr. Hillary Clinton's wife won't be the leader of the free world.Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757079675613448834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-72504042383660538292008-10-28T16:35:00.000-05:002008-10-28T16:35:00.000-05:00this is an excellent post.
