Considering Obama's abominable stance on life to the extent promoting abortions in his philosophy, it comes as no surprise that he does not recognize what marriage is. His announcement today of his support of homosexual marriage only shows his lack of respect for a family. The moral fibre of this president is lacking and is helping to take this country down a terrible world. I hope this is his last term, since we need someone who respects life and marriage. |

I believe Obama should have stayed neutral on gay-marriage ONLY for the reason the right-wing will go on and on and on and on about this subject that will DOMINATE the discussions when gay-marriage will not be a threat to anyone's life, happiness or prosperity. Did you know that 15-20 percent of all pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion or what some call miscarriage ? God knew what HE was doing.....and expected when HE gave humans common sense that they would use abortion too. .Many women have life-threating pregnancies and MEN have no idea it even occurs....they think women are breeders like animals.
As a young bishop, Romney got word that Carroll Shelton, a woman in his ward, was considering an abortion. This was Shelton's sixth pregnancy. She was in her 40s, had four teenage children and had developed medical complications. THe procedure was already approved when Romney arrived at the hospital and forcefully BULLYING in her against it." Later she said he had no respect for her as a human being .... NOBODY should try to come between a person and their doctor.” NO ONE |

All the issues surrounding the rights of (2) people who want to be connected can be handled through legal means in the courts. The stir cause by the President on this issue also happened within many majority Democratic voter establishments. You can change the legal rules for all these people issue types of things but until people's hearts are changed, if possible, these new rights won't make life happier. On your 2nd point - yes, a woman does have the right to chose whether to give life to her unborn child or to terminate the pregnancy, just like God. However, I do not have the right to time my own demise even when my quality of life is over. So I guess, the government does reign over certain choices that should be left to the individual. |

That is not a society where I would want to live. A person has the right to try to defend life since that is a human characteristic which has been perverted by some giving less meaning to some lives. In Europe already the debates of killing a child after birth has been pursued along with the murder of those aged since their life is no longer seen as important. In the latter case a polite term of euthanasia is used since it sounds so much better than murder. |

Posted by GailL1 Gail I think Obama has been playing us for fools and has been evading the issue by using the word evolving until Biden messed up and caused a stir. Regarding a woman having the right to take it away from her unborn child I will not agree as it was only the Supreme Court legislating an unconstitutional and immoral law that overturned state laws which banned abortion. Your last comment is a frightening one and is a reason government involvement in determining a life is not worth saving and may refuse medical care to the aged. They already support taking the life of the most innocent. |

IHe said he did some soul searching. I think it was more like poll searching to see how many votes he could get and how much would be contributed to his campaign. I wonder if he talks to his daugters about the economy or obamacare. n Response to A President who does not respect life or marriage: Considering Obama's abominable stance on life to the extent promoting abortions in his philosophy, it comes as no surprise that he does not recognize what marriage is.

IWhy did he suddenly come out with thiss revelation? Isn't it strange that a week after he comes out with this he will be attending several fundraisers sponsored by gay and lesbian groups? For the record, why is this an issue for national politics? He certainly cannot do anything about it. He cannot issue an executive decree legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states. What next will he tells us he likes broccoli? That makes as much sense. How about sticking to the isues, something he accused John McCain of not doing-it's all about the economy- 13M unemployed. n Response to Re: A President who does not respect life or marriage: Tell me something Labrat?

In Response to Re: A President who does not respect life or marriage : Posted by creppelrm What does that have to do with trying to redefine what marriage is. Those that try to say that refusing to accept the immoral legitmation of an obscene idea does not say how you would treat the person. There is a political movement pushing a homosexual agenda, but I am sorry this is not a civil rights issue since marriage is between a man and a woman. Aside from religious reasons and societal norms it does not make biological sense. Our president apparently has no moral sense regarding life, marriage, and the family. A family is a very important institution in our society. Just think of the added challenge to children who are not supported by a loving family. Regarding your question I try to love the person but not accept acts that are wrong. The history of the relationships between homosexuals as has been studied is very promiscuous. Even among those that have lived together assume their will be outside relationships. Obama has been playing games for sometime and taking a view which was expedient. He said he was against it in the 2008 campaign. For sometime he has been saying his view was evolving but here you can have your bridge back if you believe that. The idiot Biden spoke out which caused a flurry of activity behind the scene. |
