Thanks for sharing. It seems that you got an early start to your career
on the wrong side of the tracks, and the wrong side of the law.
I'm struggling, now, not to pity you.

Seems to be you fell out of the crib.

Think about that.

There is always birth control and the morning after pill.

Clearly a good start but for various reasons some women do not have
access to either option. Of course one of the reasons for limited
access is that your church has been adamant about trying to suppress
availability.


Lame excuse Wayne. If they were creative enough to gain access to the
old woodie, against church doctrine, they should be able to gain access
to remedies for their sins.

And therein lies the problem: Viewing pregnancy and childbirth as a
punishment. That's a very old fasioned notion which has been
carefully fostered by various societies and religions throughout the
ages. We already have more than enough unwanted children running
around with little or no parental leadership. It is a mystery to me
why anyone would wish for more.

How you came to that conclusion, based on what was said, is totally beyond me. "Viewing pregnancy as
punishment"?? Who said anything close to that but you.

Exactly..


You tried to justify abortions based on limited access to birth control methods or the morning after
pill. To me, that's nonsense, unless you're talking third world countries - where abortions wouldn't
be readily available either.

He tried to justify it by blaming pregnancy on the Church which is
just... well... you know.

Naturally you are talking about the selfishness of the left-wingers who enjoy pilfering from the pockets of the right and everyone in between.

Naturally you need to remove your finger from your ass. Your prostate

These idiots can't stand that a liberal has been successful at
business and still wants to lend support to folks who haven't been as

No. I think that true conservatives (people unlike you) are equally

There are several listings of drug stores whose religious proprietors
won't sell the morning after pill.

When I was a kid in New Haven, we were allowed to work some jobs (with a
work permit) after high school. I got a job two afternoons a week
working at a drug store in an "iffy" section of town. This was a small,
family owned store. I was the combination stock boy and soda fountain
jerk.

Well, the drug store did a land office business selling liquor, too,
mostly cheap wine and whiskey, but it carried a reasonable variety. The
booze was on display behind the soda fountain. Turned out that selling
the booze was also part of my job. I was 15. :) That didn't bother me at
all.

I also sold condoms, which, as a raunchy teen-aged boy, I thought was a
hoot. At the time, there was some questionable legality about selling
birth control "devices" in Connecticut, or something like that. Anyway,
that's my memory.

I also walked about the neighborhood on deliveries, usually of
prescriptions, but sometimes I delivered booze. I remember one afternoon
I set out with a double brown bag of Four Roses whiskey, a quart of
ginger ale, and a box of condoms. The guy who answered the door and I
looked at each other and laughed. He was a regular customer who recently
had acquired a lady friend.

We never had any trouble with anyone in the neighborhood, poor as it
was. The drug store was the only one for miles around, and I guess
everyone knew if the pharmacist-owner was robbed, he'd just close down
and open up a shop in a safer neighborhood.

Life was simpler back in the day.


You've had some marvelous experiences. I've found that when a store
doesn't carry something I need,
I go to another store.

Yeah, well, you're reasonably well off. If you are poor, carless, and
public transportation is a real hassle, and the only drug store around
is run by a religious zealot, you are S.O.L.

It's a myth... doesn't happen. When I was a kid we had to drive or take
the bus 15 miles to Hartford to do our shopping, it can be done. Now we
have a thousand stores between here and there... I can get condoms anywhere.

Have you reviewed the budgets of the churches to which you refer? What about conservatives who
aren't 'born-agains' ? Most Christians I know are not 'born-agains'. In fact, I don't believe I know
one in that category.

But, you didn't answer the question. Do you believe that liberals, in general, are more charitable
than conservatives? The question was posed because of the apparent allegation made by jps.

Your life experience isn't relevant or even typical. There are plenty of
places where there is no public transportation or a variety of retail
stores.

Why would you need condoms?
