Be it resolved that privacy is a right which exists and includes, but is not limited to: privacy in the bedroom or enclosed house between consenting adults; privacy between a person and their doctor; privacy of words not uttered or otherwise expressed.
Who do I donate to to make it into legislation?
POOR RICK, he’s trying to bring Catholic sensibility and the very will of God (the culture of life) to America!
America!?!?
Yes…to the very nation that drops nuclear bombs on innocents, murders the unborn by the tens of thousands on a daily basis, and wrecks nations on a whim.
Good to see this video is a link-in of yours originates from another anti-Catholic hater, Rachel Maddow.
Santorum has always been a dick. Nothing new.
and wrecks nations on a whim.
Which Frothy-Mixture has vowed to repeat with an invasion of Iraq, if elected. I would not necessarily expect him to refrain from repeating Hiroshima and Nagasaki too, given access to the button.
Furthermore, FormerFetus, if you’re not anti-Catholic Church (not anti-Catholic) you ain’t been paying attention.
Really surprised by Santorum’s jump up in Iowa. Getting out there on the ground really paid off I guess.
I don’t know any Catholics who don’t use birth control to limit the size of their brood to the number they can support. I can’t imagine even the Catholics going along with this one…Mormons maybe, but not too many Catholics. I suppose this also means the unfortunate women who shouldn’t have children for health reasons (as in; a pregnancy may kill them) are SOL in his book.. and the punishment for rape or incest is a child.
and the punishment for rape or incest is a child.
ONLY for the woman involved.
And that’s just peachy with Rick Frothy-Substance.
Um, Ninth Amendment? You don’t have to put a right in the Constitution for it to be a right. It says so in the Constitution.
Beat me to it. I was just going to mention the Ninth Amendment. Here it is in its entire text:
So you see? A right does not have to be specifically mentioned in The Constitution in order to be a right. Contraception? Not mentioned in The Constitution, but if you can make a case for it, it’s covered in the 9th amendment. The Ninth Amendment instructs the courts to favor claims of rights over laws as the lack of mention of a right is no basis for thinking there isn’t a right.
Often as privacy is assumed not to be one, the explicit reminder of it wouldn’t hurt though.
Isn’t being santorum bad enough for him?
I cannot believe that this guy is running for the highest office in the land and does not comprehend that rights are protected, not granted.
@Randomfactor …anti-Catholic Church? Why would anyone be that?
The Catholic Church never dropped atomic bombs on people. But those were only gooks right? The Catholic Church never murdered the unborn. Oh wait, they weren’t really humans, right?
The Catholic Church never murdered 30 million Ukrainians. Or 6 milliion Jews. Or 40 million Chinese by democide. Or 2 million Cambodians, also by democide. Etc!
So what exactly did the Catholic Church do—that would justify one being anti-Catholic Church?
Nothing.
Exactly~
@gwen…Well, unfortunately many Catholics today have been evangelized by the world, and not the Church. The misguided unconverted liberal elements more concerned about social justice, than the Gospel of Jesus Christ—can be blamed for that one.
“the punishment for rape or incest is a child.” Your thinking about this is all wrong.
Children are always a blessing; never a punishment. Circumstances of conception do not justify murder. It’s funny how Americans give proud lip service to unalienable rights, and immediately turn around and allow a mother to kill her unborn child.
Mother Teresa said that America was the most loveless nation in the world. Well, it certainly is the nation most without a conscience. But wait—you’ll invade Iraq because Saddam is wantonly killing his countrymen—and that must be stopped, but somehow you don’t notice how you surpass ole’ Husseiny with all the blood on your American hands.
People who shouldn’t have children for health reasons can use NFP. And—wait for it—learn a little self-control. All acts of marital union must remain open to God’s will, so that both man and woman remain in the co-creator role. I guess you missed that story about Onan. You should review it, you WILL be judged by it’s message.
@FORMER fetus
Oh fuck you and the high-horse you rode in on. If you want to carry the results of your rape to term, go ahead, I won’t stop you. Don’t call it a fucking blessing when it happens to me though.
