Abortion and imposing religion
• A reader said being prolife is religious, not scientific, but science can prove a fetus is a living, growing baby with its own DNA. So the reader must think, must believe, that anyone can just choose to kill an innocent person. Good thing your mother wasn’t being scientific, like you.
• This is about imposing religion. I couldn’t agree more. I don’t need some invisible being made up by man to tell me what I can and can’t do. I don’t need America to be a Christian country. They persecuted people throughout history. We don’t need any of that. … I am doing just fine on my own with karma and doing nice things for people. That’s what more people should be doing in life.
• Think about this for a while. The abortion issue really has nothing to do with religion. What it has to do with is humanity. That baby inside the woman is really a different human being than the woman.
• The person who thinks that some Christians are imposing their values on others needs to fact check their history. For the vast majority of us residents, the top four reasons our ancestors came from other countries are to find work, freely practice their religion, join family and friends already here, and escape danger back home. Furthermore, abortion is not a religious issue, it is a moral issue. You don’t have to believe in any God to believe that abortion is murder. Just look at an ultrasound.
• I agree 100% with the person who says abortion rights is not a religious matter, even though people think it is. But it isn’t. It is an anti-woman matter, and it removes power from women to choose their own destiny with their own bodies, and that’s the bottom line of it. Nobody understands the risks a pregnant woman takes to carry a (child) to term, except the person who’s going through the experience at that time.
City survey
• The city library/rec center survey was a big waste of money. Less than 3% of Longmonters voted. Older people and others without computers didn’t vote. The rest probably didn’t care. Come up with a survey that we can all participate in.
• I was at a meeting several days ago where somebody brought up the fact that she had received a survey about the city amenities, and nobody else at the meeting had received a survey. So I’m just curious: Based on the fact that fewer than 3,000people responded, I’m curious as to how many the city sent out and how they determined who to send them to.
