Bex, blasted was a strong word. I agree with what you posted about abortion in general...how can anyone not? After you sent in all your quotes I found a website where they show the aborted babies.... I knew partial birth aborion has happened which was why I would never vote for Hillary cause she believed it was a right - glad she's out.... but honestly had no idea it was so prevalant or that abortions could be done throughout a whole pregnancy now. Call me stupid....really had no idea all that was going on. I've been a little busy focusing on raising my OWN babies over the years. And you know what? I stood up for that. I was socializing with my husbands very rich friend who had dinner with Hillary and Bill cause he had done a favor for Bill's brother. (Can't make myself call him President). We actually went to the rehearsal for the Democratic convention back when Bill and Bush were running when our friend was in charge of the music for it. (Got to meet lots of famous folk - big whoop). Anyway - in their house - I told his our friend, no, we were not democrats. When asked later during dinner why while the wife of our friend rudely had on the tv with Hillary on there cheering her on (can you say Hollywood?) I said I couldn't vote for her cause I didn't agree with partial birth abortion. She winced and said she didn't like it either. (She grew up in TN in the south - very conservative but she got caught up in the Hollywood scene in my opinion and was proud to be hanging out with the president...who wouldn't be?) So ignorant or not - I stand up for what I believe.
I guess what I felt was personal was actually more subtle.... You obviously have a strong personality as do I and many of us on here. You have strong beliefs as do I and most of us on here. But we're ALL good people. And we aren't all going to agree on all things even concerning religious issues. I just think LindaLou who is, apparently, at least an old world creationist from what I gather has a right to talk on here.
On that note I am secure enough in what I believe and know to be true that the debate on the other side doesn't bother me. I took how you've acted toward me much more personally than how they did. I felt judged....
