Since you asked about me, specifically, ...Christy,<br /><br />Since you asked about me, specifically, I will answer your points. The points you bring up are some of the many reasons I am no longer Catholic. I broke with the Church as soon as I was old enough to do so.<br /><br />Since you asked, I am against abortion - except in cases where the mother's life is at risk, or in the case of rape. If the sex was consensual, then BOTH parties bear the responsibility of the result of that sex. If the sex was not consensual, then the mother should not be required to carry and raise the baby - BUT she should be required to take immediate steps (i.e. morning after pill). Once she decides to let the fetus grow, the decision is made. Again, unless her life is in danger. When it becomes a choice between one living and one dying, but it is guaranteed at least one will die no matter what, then it is not murder, it is making an unbearable choice. I am thankful I have never had to make that choice. I cannot honestly tell you what choice I would make if I had to. But if it was a choice between 100% chance of one death, and 95% chance of TWO, then I would probably take the 100.<br /><br />Last I knew, abortion was legal in this country. (I assume you are American by the fact that Jim is an American blogger and you did not delineate you were from a different country. Plus your "speech" pattern is American.) And there are multiple low-cost/free clinics that are fully staffed and certified. So I do not know how women are dying because they do not have access to safe abortions. <br /><br />Note I said murder, not kill. There is a difference. The original commandment was "Thou shalt not murder," NOT "Thou shalt not kill." War is not murder, it is killing. So is self-defense. (There are often atrocities in war that ARE murder, I will not deny that, but the actual combat is not murder.) Ending the life of one to save the life of another is also not murder.<br /><br />-CaseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-2392477891661786472013-09-22T16:32:39.169-05:002013-09-22T16:32:39.169-05:00I wonder what Casey would do if he had to make a d...I wonder what Casey would do if he had to make a decision about something that happens every day in this country. Something that I see where I work (hospital with babies and mamas). There are times when a fetus is not viable--as in cannot live outside the mother. And sometimes the mother's life is at stake--as in she will die if the pregnancy continues. Right now in this country women will die because they cannot access safe abortions. They often are mothers already, and their children will suffer the loss of their mother. Casey said "it is not difficult to not murder someone". In many Christians minds abortion is murder. But somehow allowing the mothers to die is not? Some will say "it is God's will". Well, by that reasoning medical technology is also god's will. Lets say the mother is Casey's wife or daughter. All I am saying is the answers are not always easy. Isn't war killing? Why are so many right wing 'christians' in favor of war? What would Casey say if he was "the decider" ( to use a phrase from a recent 'christian' president) and had to decide wether to send troops to Europe in the 1940's? Yet so many claim to have all the answers on how people should live. <br />What I am trying to say-so ineloquently is-I am not a believer of any religion or god. I know some people who are very fine human beings who also happen to be Christian. We remain friends because they never try to 'convert' me, and don't feel they have all the answers compared to my beliefs. The problem is the ones who are confused even when they have a god telling them to be good. Especially those Damn "good" christians in congress who are taking away women's rights to their own bodies, who just voted to not feed the hungry in our own country! Or the Catholics who have not stood up to the powerful who allowed and covered up the rape of children by adults for years, catholics who use birth control but don't have a problem with the last Pope telling his people not to use condoms--and to hell with the Aids epidemic.! How can they continue to be a part of these religions? They obviously believe god has them by the short and curlies and are too wimpy to speak up. christyhttp://www.brilliant.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-50041692191954182012013-09-22T12:08:27.444-05:002013-09-22T12:08:27.444-05:00I am just rollin on the ground with tears in my ey...I am just rollin on the ground with tears in my eyes--I really needed this!

Only someone without a plan or the IQ of kelp (same thing) would be totally unable to tell the difference between end times and hard times. I held my husband's hand last November 1st as he died. The last words he heard from me was "This is my hand in your hand." That was a hard time. It was not an end time. This little old silver haired woman is following the plan I promised him I would -- still marching on. Honestly, Cavuto should know better. He is reputed to have a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis controlled by medication.
