I know we aren't allowed spinoff threads but I'm going to try to tack this on like a part of a pork barrel bill. Since the other thread was closed before I could say this, I do want to publically state that the comment I made about 'prison' concerning the abortion dr. and patient was only aimed at the last part of my post, the late term partial birth abortion topic, not just any situation. Partial birth and late term abortions, especially after the fetus is viable at 22 weeks or so IS brutal murder. But I do want to apologize if anyone thought I meant anything but that. Re read my post in the closed thread if you want, that was the last think I listed before I said that and that is what I meant.
Now, the reason for this thread. There are so many abortion fights, so this is very topical here. I was talking to my insurance salesman, a guy about 45 who worked in a family business with his parents. He told me that he and his mother were at an insurance conference of some kind with agents from all over the area there, and his mother got into a very loud and heated argument with another agent. Then, she collapsed to the floor. He knew CPR and tried to help her but she was gone already, her mouth still open from yelling. She had no pulse and was pronounced dead by the paramedics when they arrived.
The reason I'm posting this is to give an extreme example of the intense and deep feelings this issue brings on both sides. It's not just us. Which side was she on? I don't know. I didn't even ask him. It doesn't matter. It's very sad no matter what that someone felt so passionate about their issue that they literally died trying to voice their opinion. And I think it is an example of how things we can't control can go so far that tragedy results. The last thing I want is for this to become another abortion thread so let's not get into that.
