[QUOTE="GodofBigMacs"]and if they can't afford it? we pay for the kid in prenatal services, welfare, healthcare, etc. and the kid pays for being born to a mom that doesn't want them. Yes, but should the gov't pay for things that millions of Americans are morally opposed to. In situations like rape, why not, instead of having Congress pay, just force the abortion provider to do it at their own expense if the client can't pay?I'm pro-choice, but if you're gonna get an abortion, pay for it yourself. Seriously. Congress should only pay in special cases, such as rape.

Well, Congress (at the request of the administration) recently weakened the Dornan Amendment which prohibits Congress from funding elective abortions in Washington D.C. (Congress allocates funds for the District). Congress changed it by prohibiting federal funds to go towards abortion but allowing local funds to go towards abortion. But as Cardinal Rigali pointed out that because Congress appropriates local funds anyway this "distinction is only a bookkeeping exercise"
Obama will kiss the Pope's ring, but the Pope won't kiss Obama's butt. Then the Pope will ask Obama if his "Hope" theme during the campaign was a rip off of Benedict's "Christ our Hope" theme during his visit to the U.S. and will ask of Obama's theme was derived from Spe Salvi.
One is humble, one is arrogant.
Couldn't you think of something else to attack Obama on? You know, like something that actually matters? :| hamstergeddonYeah like him wasting taxpayer dollars to fund abortions in D.C.?
Not necessarily. She is probably some big fat girl who will eat any big mac she get's a chance to!So there i am, sitting in mcdonalds with a friend of mine, and BAAAM!!! The hottest girl in school(i've had a crush on her for 2 weeks now) walks towards me. So she is just standing next to our table, and i'm trying to think of something 'cool' to say, and it hits me. I ask the girl of she's hungry, and she says yes. And i just said, "do you want my big mac?"She replied by saying yes, and she ate it. The thing is, i had already eaten half of the big mac and she still ate it. She ate the big mac even though i had eaten half. She must really like me. Even my friend told me that she wants me, and i'm starting to think that too. Do you think she likes me??? If she didn't like me and thought i was ugly, she wouldn't have eaten the rest of that big mac, right??

[QUOTE="Ace_WondersX"][QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] This is my point ^^^ its a rock...if they get mad at me calling a rock a rock...then there is clearly something wrong. We shouldnt care that some guy visits a rock, yeah there is some religious significance...but there shouldnt be....hence why I dont care.It's not just a rock, it is a temple. Yeah its the place Bill Maher visited in Religulous Who cares about Big nose Bill Maher? honestly you claim that the Pope and the Dome of the Rock are irrelevant and yet you bring up Maher? Isn't Maher more irrelevant than Jewish-Christian-Islamic relations that affect the whole peace process in the middle east?SaintLeonidas
I think Benedict also thinks that his "beloved predecessor" wasa much better man. They are very close to each other, if it weren't for John Paul, Benedict probably wouldn't be Pope, and if it weren't for the aid of Cardinal Ratzinger, John Paul's papacy would have been lessened.Good for him.I still think John Paul was a much better man.
