    Pro Life ....

    In two days two people expressed the same thought to me and I found it quite interesting .

    And the thought they expressed was that the economy was worth the risk.

    " Sure, some people might die, but hey this is important, we can't let the economy collapse ." they said almost verbatem.... both of them.

    "We should just go back to normal and chance it" .... they said

    One of those women is a client of mine and the other one of my very own employees.

    Now here is the interesting part . They both have something in common in that they both attend seperate Evangelical "store front" Church's. And they both voted according to their strong Pro Life beliefs.

    I guess they are both now worried about covering the car payments and rent bills negating any true beliefs in pro life.

    Now ... lets attack the Dems again about socialised medicine cherry picking who gets care and who don't .... shall we ?

    difference I see is a human that has been born has a choice,

    after a certain age the risk factors can be made smaller by behavior, etc etc


    however, if you are aborted, you will never be born to have those choices


    +'s and -'s to both sides of that coin I guess

        true, a life is a life,


        over 65 w/ existing conditions that may take you out with COVID,,, well unless you were in a nursing home, you had some chance to avoid it, maybe, or maybe not, still, that youngun that never took a breath of air would not have any choice at all,


        the folks you spoke to live in a place they can make those choices and voice those opinions,, and are welcome to believe what they will,


        is the issue the choices? belief's or that they may be different than yours?

          People are free to choose not to have abortions, to get married or offer the child up for adoption. Or, if early enough or in the case of high risk factors, free to not proceed with the pregnancy.

          But some people want to take away a freedom from others, because that freedom in question is not personally valuable to them. Exactly like gun banners, only for pregnancy. In both cases, the banners rely heavily on emotional arguments and are impervious to reason.

                  Lockdown must be making you worse.

                    Maybe you are right, but regardless I will never be as bad as Togey. Again, thank you for your concern!

                      Boggs I'm pro-freedom. I also don't see women as womb slaves, even as I recognize that there is a necessity for people to act responsibly with their freedoms. Pregnancy rights, and gun rights. The thought that they have something in common must drive you crazy.

                        Togor, have a care. Boggs is one of those people identified by the Lt Gov of Texas, as willing to die for the economy. So noble.

                          In my 68 years I have beat death 3 times how about you?

                          50,000 gallon gas fire, 3 other men died.

                          Flood and lost my jeep in 18 feet water.

                          Stage 4 Colon rectal/liver cancer.

                            Texas has other plans for you.

                            Me? I wouldn't own a Jeep.

                              Jeeps are okay. I don't get the people who own Wranglers that never leave the pavement, but lots wonder the same thing.

                              We have a Grand Cherokee and basically we use it as an RV. When it was new I got under it and saw all of those steel tubes carrying coolant to and fro, and decided the salt was not going to get this one.

                              The Pentastar 3.6L is a good motor.
