It's her unborn, unthinking fetus and will end up being her child, no one elses. It's hardly fair to stick a rape victim with a child she doesn't want, hell it's hardly fair to stick anyone with birthing something they want. Plus banning abortions just leads to back alley abortions which is very messy and will cause not only problems for the mother but problems with society in general. Clean abortion clinics with professionals who know what they're doing are a very good thing. Though I tend to stay away from argument this subject because I'm not the one carrying it for 9 months.

I am not necessarily anti-g@y marriage, but I do believe that marriage SHOULD be between a man and a woman. But it is not my place to tell a grown person what to do with their body. If homosexuals want to say their vows, exchange rings and have a beautiful ceremony, I am all for it. Everyone deserves to be happy. But throwing the "marriage" label on it is what seems wrong to me, call me old fashioned.

It's not like someone can control their sexual desires and I think everyone should have the chance to be married. It's good for a relationship and offers a sense of fidelity and security that all happy couples deserve. We can't keep clinging to old traditions especially ones that just encourage prejudices and close-mindedness. Homosexuals deserve every right heterosexuals deserve just like african americans deserve every right white americans deserve.
I think it's ridiculous it's even an issue and we should stop listening to christians on this subject, the bible is wrong on many things and half them don't understand the bible. Also dictionary definitions have been changed several times throughout the history of it, why can't we change this one too? The dictionary isn't law and basing an argument on it is ridiculous (I realize you didn't say this I'm more just stating something that bugs me when people argue against it.)

And I am not necessarily anti-amnesty, but I believe it should b done right. Entering this country illegally is a felony. Felons should not be rewarded with amnesty. I believe that the illegals should be deported back to their home country, and then alloted a route to re-enter the country LEGALLY. This would be the best way to handle the situation, but it wouldn't be logical. Rounding up all of the illegals (estimated at 5-25 million) would be an impossible task. I don't know, I guess that's why I'm not president..

Our economy would be f
ucked over (even more so) if you got rid of all the illegal immigrants in our country. Aside from that I can hardly blame them for wanting to come over. The majority of Mexicans that are middle aged to older men who cross the border on there own to get a job and then they send cash to their families over the border because they just can't make fair wages over there which is The United States's fault and we have no interesting in fixing it or trying to help. America launched a huge predatory lending spree on Mexico like 35 years ago and it's been a huge factor in Mexico's now poor economic situation. Then Mexico hired an America accounting group to help sort it out and with the help of the US Government Mexico began building all the low wage malquiladoras and they working conditions are pretty sub standard for every country and have turned back allies of cities like Juarez into basically killing fields for Mexican women. Anyway, the farmers from Mexico are being forced from there land and sent to work in factories. This smashes possibly generations of culture and history for these people and take away the only life that they have ever know. Many people simply move to the city and work in the factories there for sub standard wages so they can go home to there 3 room sh
itty houses and try to raise there family, but many also seek the border as a possibility. Meanwhile the US continues to push Mexico into a minimum pay war with other countries to establish them as a low cost alternative to Asian manufacturing. This way US companies can keep up with there slave labor wages and at the same time save on sending it over sea by sending it across the border. The United States has put Mexico into a complete quagmire and leaves them no practical solutions to get out.
