The Inner Machinations Of My Mind

I used to be against gay marriage and abortion.

Like last year.

But not anymore.

While I’m still not supportive of the act of abortion and not a fan of it, I don’t think Roe v. Wade should be overturned and I don’t think abortion should be outlawed.

Why? Simple. Basically, while I do not agree with the act, it’s not my right to impose my views onto women. And it’s not the governments right either. Everyone has a different mindset and that needs to be respected and realized, and through that notion, abortion should remain legal.

As for gay marriage, there’s really no logical arguments against it. It’s silly. Being gay is a sin? So is premarital sex, get over it, God will. Besides, religious law is always unjust.

Gay marriage will destroy the sanctity of marriage? I think the outrageous divorce rates we have already did that more than any gay couple ever could. And the ‘sanctity of marriage’ is a nonsensical argument anyway because no one could even define what that means or how gay couples would destroy it. Do straight couples love each other more than gay couples or something? So if gay couples got married it would destroy the meaning of love? It’s absurd and if you believe in that idiotic argument you will be on the wrong side of history.

The only problem I have is that the government shouldn’t even involved in the marriage business anyway, because who you love and marry is your business and your spouses’ business and no one elses. 

And let me tell you, I’m quite conservative, and I believe my views fall in line with true conservatism, because in the end conservatism is all about smaller government and individual liberty.

Too bad the GOP has been hijacked by the trainwreck known as neo-conservatism and a mob of religious blind fools.

Sen. Nina Turner submits bill to regulate men’s reproductive life.

Feminists?! I expect you to take this one down with just as much zeal as you would attack an anti-abortion bill.

But you probably won’t because your movement is ridden in just as much hypocrisy and bigotry as any pro-life movement.

Dear people who vote based on a candidates abortion views…

…it won’t matter if our currency continues being destroyed because no one will be able to afford an abortion anyway.

Fixing the economy is more important than abortion, not to mention repealing Roe V. Wade is next to impossible even if someone wanted to do it.

Ron Paul 2012.

Not voting for Ron Paul because he personally believes in Creationism, and is personally pro-life?

dobbaaa:

delrinn:

Congratulations, you now acknowledge that someone being religious and pro-life are more important issues than unconstitutional wars, deep, deep deficits, a horrible economy, and the erosion of the Bill of Rights.

In other words, you are probably really dumb.

Ron Paul is, quite frankly, a piece of poop.

He thinks if somebody can only have an abortion/morning after pill after an “honest rape.” 

He is so anti-choice it makes me want to vomit. He wants to keep this war on womyn* going.

He doesn’t believe in reproductive healthcare and freedoms for people. That’s just a dick move.

He wants to cut funding to the FDA, the CDC, and many other health organizations. He would also quit all foreign aid and funding, and cut corporate taxes down to 15 percent. There’s plenty more fiscal decisions that could totally fuck us over, but those are the ones I have on top of my head.

He doesn’t believe in the separation of Church and State, which is just silly.

He thinks if you’re sexually harassed in your place of work, that you should just suck it up and quit.

He wants to define marriage as between one man and one woman in his grody Marriage Protection Act. 

Back in the 80’s and 90’s he wanted to abolish public schools. I mean, what the actual fuck? 

This guy also thinks access to education isn’t a right. No college for poor kids in poor families who work their asses off and have good grades!

He doesn’t believe in global warming, which is definitely happening.

The only reason people brocialists like him is because he is “anti-war” and totally fine with legalizing weed.

What the fuck, people.

• The majority of things you listed are minor issues compared to the real problems we face, which is what my OP was originally about, so I don’t know why you listed all of these things reinforcing my original point.
• Anyway, he is personally pro-life, but thinks abortion isn’t a federal issue and should be up to the states. And him being pro-life is not a good enough reason to not vote for him because economically and foreign affairs wise, which are far more important than abortion, he has the best answers. And the ‘honest rape’ comment obviously meant ‘actually raped’ which anyone with common sense can realize, because as much as you hate to admit it, false rape does exist.
• And it’s spelled women, not womyn. 
• Do you mean taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood? Well he’s right, taxpayers shouldn’t fund private organizations, especially because we have no control over where that tax money goes too, whether it be abortions, contraceptives etc. There’s no problem with contraceptives, but a pro-life person for example would be pretty upset if their tax money was funding abortions. 
• Federal departments don’t exactly do anything beneficial that private enterprises couldn’t do just as well, or even better. The majority of our federal departments drain our money and use it and accomplish little to nothing except to increase the national debt level. The majority of them should be eliminated.
• Taxes should be as low as possible for everyone. High taxes do nothing beneficial at all, and never will. Also he wants to audit and end the central bank and put an end to the failures of Keynesian economics such as TARP. He also wants to cut regulations on businesses which will bring overseas jobs back and make it easier for small businesses to grow. And if you think Keynesian economics are good, you need to study more economics.
• He’s actually a Constitutionalist, so your statement that he doesn’t believe in the separation of Church and State is pretty wrong.
• He’s openly said gay people should be allowed to get married and be allowed to call it whatever they want, and that the federal government should be out of marriage.
• Education isn’t a right, it’s a business. Same with healthcare. When someone has to provide you with something, it can’t be a right. That’s impossible. Our rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Free education and free healthcare are not rights, nor should they be. 
• There are contradictory reports about global warming, for example, the Himalayan mountains have lost no ice over the past 10 years. That’s pretty contradictory to global warming. But again, global warming is a non-issue compared to much more important things.
• He is anti-war. I don’t know why you put that in quotations, because he’s anti-war, anti-foreign aid, and against preemptive war. This is a fact. And that’s a good thing.
• He’s against the drug-war, which is another very good thing, because the drug war is a waste of money and discriminatory. It also puts too many people in jail for non-violent crimes. 
• So again, really? His economic and foreign policies are easily the best out of any of the GOP candidates, and Obama is a complete disaster.
• Out of curiosity, if you support Obama, I’m just going to throw it out there that he’s authorized the assassination of American citizens, signed the NDAA indefinite detention bill into law, increased the debt exponentially, lied about Iraq, signing statements, superPACS, illegally bombed Pakistan, Libya, and multiple other countries, passed a disastrous healthcare law and a disastrous stimulus, which didn’t work, and voted to censor the internet through ACTA. Also, he’s flip flopped on gay marriage, which is probably an important issue to you since you don’t seem to care much for the economy or our debt, at least according to your reasons for disliking Ron Paul.

Not voting for Ron Paul because he personally believes in Creationism, and is personally pro-life?

Congratulations, you now acknowledge that someone being religious and pro-life are more important issues than unconstitutional wars, deep, deep deficits, a horrible economy, and the erosion of the Bill of Rights.

In other words, you are probably really dumb.

Lol.

Okay wow.

Someone deleted half of my post about abortion during a reblog or something, I suppose, deliberately getting rid of the part where I said abortion should be legal and that I have no right to put my views on someone else.

Hmmmmm…

Wow.

That’s all i really have to say about that.

Pathetic. 

Abortion.

Being pro-life does not mean you’re sexist.

Whoever decided to throw that analogy out there should be punched multiple times in the face.

Like really? What?

I hate abortion. I see it as the destruction of the process of life, which, to me, is the most basic fundamental miracle of the universe.

Now having said that, I have no right to decide how anyone else feels about it, which is why abortion can’t ever be illegal. 

But it’s not fucking sexist to say I do not support terminating human lives.

Abortion.

I used to be strictly pro-life. Back in the day.

Now I’m more like in between the two.

• Everyone should have individual rights, therefore women should have control over their own bodies.
• However, no one has the right to take away someone elses inalienable right to life, and frankly, we don’t know whether life begins at conception or birth, so that makes it complicated.

Hm…

Pet Peeve:

freebroccoli:

People who say “I agree with 90% of what Ron Paul says, but I’m not going to vote for him because he’s anti-abortion.”

So you would really rather we keep killing people in other countries and deal with many more years of economic depression than give some states the opportunity to outlaw abortion?

I’m glad to see your priorities are straight.
