I did something about it. The most important thing I could have done.
I chose life for each child I conceived... and loved them and nurtured them from the moment I knew of their existence.
I will be voting for Hillary Clinton.

What are you doing about it this election?
I am voting for every republican on the ballot -
I think I will write in jeb for president
I wouldn't say he should quietly absorb it. If Trump feels that he was unfairly criticized then he can respond. The problem is in how he responded. He went off topic by going after the mother and insinuating that she was not allowed to speak. He probably should have offered more respect to a soldier who was killed and his family. He wasn't clear in separating the sacrifices he's made from what the Khan's suffered.
I do take issue with part of what the Khans did. Whether or not Trump lost a child in war seems like a cheap shot. If they want to use their son as an example of Muslim Americans and to fight back against Trump's rhetoric and policy proposals regarding Muslism then ok, but bringing in sacrifices seems to be going too far.
I think part of why this got so big is that Trump has had veteran problems in the past. From mocking McCain to the shadiness about his donations to veteran groups.
It wasn't a piece of gossip. I read it on Reuters. :idunno:
So the ends justify the means?

If that's true then that's horrible and I hope you wouldn't try to defend it.

While I understand your dilemma, voting for Jeb certainly isn't "doing something about it."
Voting for pro-life candidates down ballot may have an effect, but voting for Jeb won't do a thing. Still, I do understand.
kmoney.....no problem
I don't think you do

I think I do, but yeah, I could be wrong.
You're just unwilling to give me any credit at all because I've stepped outside the lines and you can't forgive that.

The best way to prevent abortions is to take away the reasons for doing so. Other countries use whole families and neighbors to raise kids. Do the same thing here, and an unplanned pregnancy won't be so frightening.

Hillary was right when she said it takes a village but she had the wrong definition of village. It's not government programs.
you think it doesn't make any difference -
tell that to the feminists in the democratic party -
their survival depends on killing babies -
they cannot be equal if they can't kill them

What happened to the conservative ideal of "no, it doesn't take a village" and "personal responsibility" that I hear so often?
I took personal responsibility for the children I conceived.
I'm not responsible for the choices other people make, and you're not going to put that false responsibility on me.
you are responsible for supporting those who do whatever they can to keep abortion legal

Well, looks like we've come full circle, back to IT WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
The GOP has had their chance to show there was some brickwork behind that false-fronted platform of theirs. They're politicians. They're going to pay it lip service, but they're not going to do anything.
I assume you read DavidK upthread, when we were talking about there being less abortions performed these days, and more people who identify as prolife.
Technological advances in ultrasound have probably saved more babies than one single current Republican politician.
Isn't it amazing seeing a new baby on the ultrasound?
