I'm not a one issue voter, but I am a one issue DISQUALIFIER. Nothing wrong with universal healthcare if it is done correctly and fairly. CO2 and Climate Change? I have a biblical worldview. The climate has been changing since the flood - slowing warming over time. I don't think man is going to destroy the world this way. We could be smarter, but I don't believe we are about to self destruct. WD> About abortion ... abortion for the woman is healthcare, if not WD> physical then emotional and/or psychological.

A man can't have a baby so shouldn't have an opnion. Well I can't own a slave, so I shouldn't have an opinion about those that can? In other words, is it wrong to own a slave? Or is it "none of my business." Serious question... I see the life of the unborn child a human life. Is it okay to kill a 3 week old child because it's an emotional and/or psychological strain on the mother and she makes that choice? If it is NOT okay, then please tell me WHY. What is the difference. WD> Abortion as a means of contraception instead of using other available WD> methodologies ...

Are you saying taking the life of the child is okay or not for contraception? ....
