If I had to make the rules, I would probably say 6 weeks after conception for
compassion even though I would not be comfortable with a wife or daughter
electing that, at all but if she felt the need hopefully before the 3-4 week
mark.
Based on absolutely nothing other than my observations of ultrasounds at around
the 14-16 week mark.

I really hope youre talking about a few weeks after conception and not birth.
But then again, some babies are ugly. My daughter was like a huge mouth with
ears when she came out. I was kind of scared, and the though "kill it with
fire" popped into my head. Im glad we didnt have a mulligan, because after a
couple minutes she turned into the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and
she evovles into something more beautiful every day.

Contraception is 100% OK with me.
I don't think a Catholic business should be forced to provide them to their
employees.
But again, when rules/dogma come from the wizened masters that claim to hear
God, we forget that sometimes he mumbles and sometimes the wizened masters make
up what they don't actually hear. Centuries of the agendas and power plays of
man have flavored religions.
And if you truly want to get to minutia, I believe that life begins at the
time of quickening. When the spirit enters the body. Sometime after
conception. Some time before birth. I would give a woman a mulligan for the
first few weeks.

I don't believe many people are actually pro-abortion. And I don't think
Josh characterized it is a "handy solution".
What I fail to understand is people who don't want others to have access to
birth control, like condoms or birth control pills or even "morning after"
pills. You may believe life begins at conception and apply that in your own
life. But if you don't want others to have abortions, the most effective
way to that goal is to accept that others might use contraception or family
planning methods that are not 100% per your religious beliefs.
I put the abstinence-only people in this same category. That is not a
realistic approach, if your goal is really to reduce the number of
abortions. It sounds a lot more like if you're going to have sex, you
deserve to get pregnant, you slut

I used to believe like you. During my teen years, having lots of fun with
the opposite sex, I figured abortion was a handy solution to a problem if it
cropped up.
Then I got married. My wife got pregnant. We went to the first ultrasound.
I saw my daughter as the miniature human she was. Stretching her arms and
sucking her tumb. All as 16 week.
Then I saw the light...

What many people who lose sleep over Planned Parenthood are actually
upset about is they offer birth control. Some people obsess about
poor
people having sex without the punishment of getting pregnant. See
this if
you forgot:

I don’t understand how you can be extremely anti-abortion yet also
extremely anti-contraception. Less unwanted pregnancies = less
abortions.
Which is the lesser evil?
I think it comes down to some people are obsessed with sex,
especially
“other” people having sex. #nosyneighbors #getalife

It would be hard to NOT state that traditional marriage has gone

I think the "establishment" is missing why people are fed up
with
them, I'm
not convinced it's about left or right. If I had to single out
one
person
as the poster boy for why the establishment has failed us, it
would be
Mitch
McConnell. All 4 leaders in Congress have only been worried
about
their own
power and re-election, but McConnell is the worst of a bad
bunch.
I don't agree with Paul Ryan's economics or some of his
politics, but
I like
what he has said since being elected Speaker. I would like to
see if
they
are just words, or if he would translate them into actions. I
don't
think
we will get to find out, election politics seem to have
rendered him
irrelevant. And Mitch the Turtle would have to be replaced with
someone
actually interested in governing. I wonder what conservative
goals
could
have been accomplished in the 7 years Mitch has spent trying to
make
Obama
fail no matter how much damage it causes. Tort reform?
Modifications
to
Obamacare? Fix sequestration? Tax reform? Immigration reform?
Mitch
doesn't care. Mitch cares about Mitch. That's the problem
with the
establishment, they spend all their effort on getting elected
and
staying in
power, they don't even pretend to do their job. And let me be
clear,
I'm
not saying Pelosi, Reid and Boehner were much better, it's just
McConnell is
the most blatant hack of the bunch, every time I see him on TV
I feel
he is
giving me the finger.
I am probably fooling myself that Paul Ryan would be different,
but I
don't
think we'll find out.
