Hello Allen,

 LL>> If Republicans were really anti-abortion, they would have made
 LL>> abortion illegal across the land, having full control of both houses
 LL>> of Congress, the presidency, and a majority of the justices of the
 LL>> US Supreme Court.  But Republicans chose to allow abortion to remain
 LL>> legal, everywhere.  That way, Republicans could continue to use
 LL>> abortion as a wedge issue in general elections.  Claim to be pro-life
 LL>> when not really being pro-life.

 AP> I am republican, and align myself as Christian in the religion department,
 AP> yet I am PRO CHOICE not PRO LIFE.  I would much rather see a preganancy

 AP> much rather see an abortion take place than have another statistic... a
 AP> batter and abused child, a child that is not properly cared for.

Most people are pro-life.  Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
Not really a matter of party affiliation, or ideology.  Look at it
this way -

The term "pro-life" really means "mostly pro-life".
The term "pro-death" really means "mostly pro-death".

I know very few people who are so sick as to actually be "pro-death".
Such a person would have to be mentally ill, or a total psycho.

Take a look at Roe v Wade.  Read the opinions expressed by the
Justices of the Supreme Court.  It is actually a pro-life ruling.

What right does anybody have to play God?  I am not a woman.
I am not a doctor.  I cannot advise a woman what is in her best
interest.  Such a decision as to what to do is between doctor
and patient.

What is the definition of pro-life?  How should we define the term?
Should Republicans have exclusive right to define what is pro-life
and what is not pro-life?  Should Democrats have exclusive right to
define the term?  Should any political party or politician have right
to define the term?

To me, pro-life would mean supporting life from the moment of
conception to the moment of natural death.  Is the life of the
mother more important than the life of an unborn child?  Is
the life of a mass murderer more important than the life of a
starving child in India?  Who has the right to determine who
lives and who dies?  Do any of us have that right?

 AP> I don't subscribe to the argument put them up for adoption... someone will
 AP> love them.  Very few kids get adopted, rather they are passed from
 AP> foster-home to foster home... and sadly they end up abused or don't make
it
 AP> through the system undamaged.

China has a problem.  Their population is aging.  Not enough babies
being born.  Not so much the number of babies being born, but rather
the right kind of babies.  Most Chinese couples want male baby.  So
when couple find out female baby on the way, couple get rid of baby
and try again.  Until they get right kind of baby.  See how that
works?

This problem in China has been going on for quite some time.  It
has now reached the point there are no longer enough women around
to keep men satisfied.  So Chinese men are now traveling to other
lands in search of women to bring home to mama.  And then, when
new Chinese couple about to have baby, they fly to America so
baby will be US citizen when born.

 AP> I am pro-choice... and by making abortions illegal you will only
 AP> make a black market for them and abortions via coathangers will happen in
 AP> back alley's again.

Europe has given women the abortion pill.  Available everywhere in
the USA for marginal cost.  But don't tell your parents.

 LL>> Trump is devious, and his ploy regarding a debate with Sanders
 LL>> proves it.  Trump had no intention of debating Sanders.  But by
 LL>> backing out, he made Sanders appear stronger than he actually
 LL>> was, making it harder for Clinton in her campaign.  Not that it
 LL>> matters, as Clinton is now surging and likely to win California
 LL>> by a large margin, having earned the endorsement and support of
 LL>> Governor Jerry Brown.

 AP> Nothing Trump does is without purpose... NOTHING.  Even the "penis size"
 AP> comments were done on purpose.  Shockingly even that worked for him.

Donald Trump is a pathological liar.  As a political candidate,
that can be very entertaining.  But as president would be scary
as hell.  Imagine a patholigical liar being in charge of the
CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, etc.  If he is elected I fear I may
have to leave this country.  Not that it will matter, as he would
also be in charge of nukes.  So if I am going to go in a mushroom
cloud I might as well do it here rather than someplace else.

 LL>> National polls are showing Clinton with a double digit lead
 LL>> over Sanders.  It won't be long now before Sanders has no choice
 LL>> but to throw in the towel.  And what a wonderful world it will
 LL>> be when Clinton wears the crown.  The first woman ever to be
 LL>> elected President of the United States.

 AP> But the sad thing about Sanders is her lead is ONLY because of
 AP> superdelagates... if it wasn't for superdelegates he would beat Hillary.

Hillary Clinton is ahead of Bernie Sanders in delegates,
as well as superdelegates.  Also well ahead of Sanders in
the popular vote.

 AP> There have been MANY states he won the popular vote but because of
 AP> superdelegates he did not get the majority of the electoral college votes.

Sanders has run an incredible race for the Democratic nomination.
He fell short, but gave Secretary Clinton a strong run for the money.
The electoral college does not come into play until after the general
election, but no worries there, as Trump will self-destruct well
before election day.  :)

 AP> Ironic since he wants to redistrubute wealth and his votes that he
 AP> rightfully earned are being redistributed away from him.

I like Sanders.  And so do millions of others.  But this is
Clinton's time.  Not his.  He does have a right to continue
his quest for the nomination.  But the time is coming when
he will have no choice but to throw in the towel.
