My point being marijuana is not a left/right issue. There are opponents to legalising marijuana on both sides of the isle. And I imagine there are just as many republicans as democrats who want to legalise marijuana.
So we have to pay attention to the candidates we are voting for. Right now--Tom Tancredo is the most pro candidate in this election cycle--even though he is conservative. He is the one most likely to stop new regulation-pointed at caregivers and medical marijuana centers. Hickenlooper seems to be more inclined to listen to what law enforcement tells him--which wouldn't be good for any of us.
I make no apologies, all I pointed out was Tancredo is for making abortion illegal even in cases of rape and incest and the next thing I'm being called a baby killer, so I decided to toy with him a little and get a few moments of entertainment out of it.
In my humble opinion, any discussion regarding abortion is firmly entrenched in religion. It has been my experience that those that would be in favor of Amendment 62 would describe themselves as christian. I doubt there are many atheists that are in favor of the Amendment 62. If you are out there please stand and be counted.:thumbsup:
Roe vs Wade gave women the right to make the profoundly personal choice to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Any argument I have heard against Roe vs Wade is based on religious beliefs. Should we be forced to adhere to the doctrine of a religion we might not adhere to?
Religious opinions should not influence political decisions. Freedom of religion should also mean freedom from religion. I respect any one's faith and opinions and I would hope for the same in return.
I enjoy a healthy debate and it's wonderful to hear the differing opinions of those that I have so much in common with. We all agree that Medical Marijuana is truly medicine and that we want to continue to enjoy the right to medicate.
You will find that there are many democrat politicians in this nation that feel the same as Tancredo. They are pro-life democrats.Quote:

I am very tired of talking about abortion--because they inflict into every other topic from A to Z. Right now in this country our number one concern is jobs. Someone talks about jobs--and there is certain to be a liberal that wants to talk about abortion. Someone wants to talk about the deficit--and there is certain to be a liberal that brings up abortion. Someone wants to talk about marijuana--and there is certain to be a liberal that wants to bring up abortion.
Again--it's like every woman in this country is going to have an abortion within the next few months--it is a liberals number topic of concern. I just wish their were abortion blogs--where these people could have another 40 year discussion with each other--LOL I don't want to hear it anymore.
I'm not arguing that either side is right, actually. There are some issues that I'm profoundly more conservative on than others.Quote:

I fully agree, Abortion in cases of incest or rape are completely a different issue that abortion in cases where planning was not practiced. If one can expect a woman to be reminded every day of the nightmares of Rape or Incest you are plain & simple heartless.Quote:
