If you happen to find yourself in a state whose laws forbid abortion under popular vote, then I suggest that you vote with your feet (meaning go to another state which has voted no law prohibiting the act of abortion). Or in the long term; work towards changing popular opinion thus enabling you and your constituents to overturn the state law.

My stance: We must determine by public vote when actual life begins within the womb- that will give us the basis of when the inherent rights of the child come into play. You can't nullify the child's civil rights in favor of the mother's.Ultimately my stance is that our founders true intentions would yield this is a State right, thereby to be subjected to public vote. Not mandated via ruling of the Federal Supreme Court.

Obviously that is a point of deviation where we take the opposite side. To end a life through abortion is a violent act of agression by a parties who assumed the risk by committing a what is normally a voluntary act in the vast majority of cases.We all make choices. If I lay $10,000 on the roulette table I may win I may lose and there is no guarantee of getting my money back even if I shoot the table operator in the in during mid-spin.

Many "Christians" also subscribe to that doctrine, myself included. I do not think a nation that is predominatly Christian should have to take the pacifist role and subject themselves to whatever the enemy has in store.Under this doctrine wars would have to be in self defense so using it to justify agressive invasions like the Crusades could not be done withing violating one of the foundational tentants.

That "Christian Just War Doctrine" was formed by Catholics and Catholics only. Probably to justify the Crusades. No one can theologically justify a war.

Two reasons, davidmesaaz:1. Pork barrel spending, while still bad, makes up a small part of what the government spends. The real problems are entitlement programs, which will end up costing many, many trillions of dollars.2. When the legislature does not spend the allotted money on constituent services, it goes to the discretion of the executive branch. Paul must figure: better to get shrimp than more Iraq.
