So all for body positivity until you need a negative point? Also less educated? If you mean college then I hate to tell you but in many cases it's more or less useless. Also not sure what listening to classical music has to do with anything. As for traveling abroad if you're looking down on people for not doing that you're an elitist.

No one should have to donate any body part in order to keep another alive.

If Kacsmaryk bans mifepristone, which when taken in combination with misoprostol is the safest form of abortion, we should not feel compelled to follow any American law. The laws of Maine are more than enough to ensure a successful society.

I think it's also ok if the parents are no longer together. I heard of a female celebrity who got pregnant, and was originally going to keep the pregnancy and raise the hypothetical child with her boyfriend together, but then he cheated on her and they broke up.

It's better to have an abortion than to raise a child in a split up family.

  1. The fact you have to say "the vast majority" isn't a good thing. Especially when you have democrats on camera saying they want to get pregnant just to get an abortion.

  2. That comparison doesn't work as the eggs we cook don't contain chicks. They're unfertilized. For someone calling someone else a moron you sure seem to be lacking in basic knowledge.

Rented a place on the Sebago/ Naples line back in 2001 when wife & I were newlyweds. Nice, private. 5 acre lot but not a lot of road frontage, but a strip of garbage woodland that went way back. Think they had a 5 acre minimum lot size. Stars were nice.

This was before North Windham was as built up as it is now-- had to go to Portland for Home Depot, and Lowes wasn't even a thing. 302 is a miserable stroad, if you're trying to get into or out of Portland.

There was a lot of nothing. I miss it. It's going to get even more built up when the turnpike Gorham spur dumps out onto 114.

"The unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn."

-Methodist Pastor David Barnhart

I'm living at the moment near Jonesport and go to Beals regularly. Waas preserve has about 8-10 miles of trails and it doesn't get busy, even in summer. Maybe 2-3 people who were there this winter judging by footprints. Part of trail goes along rocky shore. It's a quiet place. Clamming, fishing, kayaking, hiking. I think there is bar in Jonesport over the bridge. No thunder yet since last year.

Mother's business to kill a 7 month old life. The life that could be delivered via c section the same day as being murdered by late term abortion because a Dr says the medical reason for abortion is mom's depression. Some people stand up for the defenseless and innocent, the ones who don't are called liberals.
