Propositions part two

Ok, I know I'm going to be going out of order on these. Just bear with me. I haven't read all of them yet, so you're getting the ones I have.

Proposition 8- Do I even have to explain why I'm voting no? They keep trying to tell me that this country is all for equality. Sure it is, unless you happen to be gay ( Read more... )

equality, abortion, gay rights, marriage, teens, health, election

it sounds like your coworker is the one who needs to be protected from himself, Americans are dumb but not that dumb, and really, who cares what others are doing in their privacy, its all about some people who feel they have the right to dictate what others do, or feel or think...

as for the second one, I am against it because I don't feel that we as tax payers should have to pay for people being bad parents. My contention is that if they were good parents in the first place their kids would be able to go them, second if they were good parents they would be making sure that their sexually active teens (and the all are to some point) are getting the kind of education about sexuality, and the things they need to keep from getting pregnant. Remember too there is this disease still out that the can kill you, and you get it by having sex.... seems that the parents should be more worried about that too...

This co-worker is really a moron and won't be a co-worker for much longer. My other co-worker is a part time pastor, he's voting no and just not telling the church.

And you bring up other valid points about the abortion one. Besides that, some places in California already have restrictions. About 10 years ago I had a friend who got pregnant when she was 17 and her boyfriend had just turned 18. In Modesto they require a family member to be present for the abortion. As she couldn't tell her parents, she went to her uncle who not only helped her pay for it but was there for her. So her parents wouldn't wonder why she was convalescing in bed she stayed at my house for the weekend. She had the education, in fact it happened on the pill and wearing a condom, and still needed to have the procedure. But I agree with most of your sentiment.

Doing research on the others now, I should have at least one more post by tonight.
