" I am offended by Michael Welch's assertion that you have to be religious to tell right from wrong, to have a moral compass so to speak. All atheists and agnostics do not, I repeat DO NOT advocate the killing of babies in the name of choice or freedom. Whatever Jenna or Barbara may or may not hypothetically do is irrelevant. Some things are just plain wrong. "

" "If men could get pregnant, no pro-life movement could be sustained" ??!!! Considering most pro-lifers are women, that is just plain ignorant. Also, since the pro-choicers couldn't use the "unequal sexual freedom" rhetoric, it would weaken their case. What proof or evidence do you have for this baseless assertion? "

" Michael-we seem to keep running into each other on these boards. I must comment on your 11:13am post. Usually you have some good points, and I enjoy the debate, but here you are totally out there. It is horrifying that you would say women should be able to kill their babies because, well, somehow that will make them equal to men in terms of sexual freedom. Men and women can be different, but still be equal. If you don't like the biological differences, take it up with God. But don't use it to justify murder. And, if you are saying that one needs to be a member of the religious right to object to the slaughter of our nation's most vulnerable, well, where can I sign up to be a member? "
Michael Welch: Abortion Politics Is, Well, Not So Surprising... wrote on Dec 14, 2006 11:13 AM:
" Well anti-abortion laws simply won't effect health care or education -- you made the analogy and it isn't true. Also these laws restrict the less wealthy and NEVER the rich and privileged: if ever, for example, Barbara or Jenna needed an abortion they'd get it, have no doubt. There's no way for women to have the sexual freedom that men NOW have without legalized abortion. And if men could get pregnant of course no 'pro-life' movement could be sustained. And the GOPpers never really want to outlaw it because they need to continue to use the issue in order to keep the religious right on their side... "

" Ron Kind does not belong in such a highly regardred position. He's a wishy-washy legislator at best, he fence rides as much as our last Mayor. It's too bad Ron can't give a straight answer to a question and he often votes opposite of what he tells the public. Of course, he always has a "good reason" why he voted as he did however it only shows his inability to represent our district. I'm deeply disappointed. "

" Ron says he wants "to advance my work on higher education and rural health care". Great idealistic notion, but if that means everyone has to pay $5,000 in taxes for socilalized medicine when many can't afford $1,200 for AND pay further taxes to "over-educate" the majority in the job market, then it simply is not worth it!!

Too bad these blogging whiners are a very small % and are out of touch with the average person. Thank god 65% of the 3rd District are moderate independent thinkers and voted to keep a person like Ron Kind in office. Congrats on the well deserved position Ron. We look forward to many terms to come as our representative. "

Anyone who says that they want to go live among the ignorant is completely selfish. Further, since when are representatives down South not 'filled with clout?' Delay, W, Foley, they all reside in this tropical paridise. Yes, move down there, people are so ignorant they pick the most corrupt and harmful leaders. Leaders that have completely destroyed this country. These posts are so ridiculous this comment pretty much wrote itself. "

" Making abortion illegal will not enhance education or health care because the very people who want to outlaw this (Chip DeNure, granted, is at least one laudable exception) are ones who never want 'socialized' medicine or any increase in federal aid for education. Kind is 'on the rise' because in the house especially 'seniority rules'; he's got a career as I've said. But again, if he really wishes more funding for the programs he cites he ought to change his mind on this horrid (and expensive) war that the latest polls show only about 20%(!) of Americans still support...

" in the Democratic Party. Kind learned under Clinton, that power is rewarded to those who waffle. If people accuse you of doing nothing, then Democrats can just say that "negative campaigning." As long as you don't get caught on tape actually killing someone, then you (if you are a Democrat) can move on up in the Democratic party. If you are a Republican, all you need is an accusation of improper relations and it's a scandal (even after leaving office). "

He hasn't done anything in his last 5 terms. I just don't believe how stupid my state has become. I'm going south where the dumb hillbillies live.
