Most peo...I don't think it is a partisan issue. Most people I know support it no matter their political views. I just thought it was funny the talk show host was calling me names and then I realized I did really throw that sign down the hill! :)<br /><br />I don't think you are a crazy right wing nut. To me, a crazy right wing nut is someone who wants to impose their own beliefs on others by way of law. That's my definition of a right wing nut anyway! For instance, if someone is against abortion, then great, they shouldn't get an abortion. But when you take that choice from others, you (not YOU, but the collective you) are imposing your views onto them.<br /><br />I am also a strong proponent of church and state as well! As for guns, I will tell you my opinion. I think they should be COMPLETELY abolished. Like I think every single gun should be taken away. Believe me, I know that is not feasible and it will never happen, but I do wish I lived in a country where there weren't any guns at all. This may actually be one of my most liberal nut job opinions because I think most Americans support common sense gun laws. Then there's me who's like, "Take them all!!!!" At least I can admit when I have a rash opinion. (Don't worry, I do realize many people (like you and your hubby) are responsible gun owners, and thank goodness for that or there would be even more gun deaths.)<br /><br />Now here is where I question my opinion about guns. I always wondered what if I lived all alone, single woman. would I own a gun then? What if I was sleeping and someone broke into my house and tried to kill me?? I am sure I would wish I had a gun.<br /><br />Wow I rambled.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-31430321386946650632016-04-08T05:56:17.292-04:002016-04-08T05:56:17.292-04:00Well that stinks.

The third is if you in good faith tried very hard to find your husband and tell him, but he couldn't be located. I'm not making this shit up.<br /><br />I agree, that in my definition of a happy marriage, most people would inform their partner. But guess what? What I think is best marriage practice may not be someone else's so it shouldn't be the law. I thought of a MILLION reasons why I woman may not want to tell her husband despite the couple exceptions stated in the bill. What if the woman feared VERBAL abuse. What if the husband would hang it over her head? What if the husband threatened to tell people about it and the woman wanted it to be private??? I thought of a million more reasons but the number one reason is laws should not tell me what I have to share with my husband.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-43716109136310885482016-04-07T15:01:59.301-04:002016-04-07T15:01:59.301-04:00LOL I love the "don't get gay married&quo...LOL I love the "don't get gay married" line.

It's simple hatred. I'm not even religions, and it makes me sad that Christianity (and, in certain cases, Islam) has to be the scapegoat and get a bad name over it.

Do they not consider the scenarios in which a woman is in an abusive relationship and wants to quietly get an abortion so as to not get abused further by her husband either by telling him she's pregnant and invoking anger or by telling him she's aborting the fetus and invoking his anger, both seem like realistic scenarios. I mean really that seems like who they are hurting because I would imagine in most healthy relationships the wife would tell the husband without the law forcing her hand in the matter (although obviously she shouldn't be required to do so!).

They'll never admit it, but their bigotry is the reason. Religion is just their convenient excuse. They don't have to admit that they just don't like different people, they can hide behind "I have to because the Bible says so". The same way they did when they didn't want white people to marry black people. I'm no religious scholar either, but I am fully convinced you can practice your religion and not discriminate against people who aren't straight.<br /><br />What's hilarious is that when you actually look at Trump's past and some of his ideas (well, the ones that he actually has), he's actually kind of moderate.
