Debbie commented on the article |I propose to you to ask the mother or sister of a soldier or an innocent bystander (collateral damage) who has been killed in war whether there is that much difference to them. I am grateful for those who have defended America for me and my family, just as I am grateful for those who have chosen to defend the right of a woman and her doctor to make their own decision. But... the 10 commandments state: "Thou Shalt Not Murder." That is an absolute, yet man has chosen to define when one is allowed to murder legally. I'm sorry, I just don't perceive, in my own mind, that much difference.
I would also say that a woman does not engage in the process of conception by herself and that if the men who are part of that process kept their pants on, we wouldn't be faced with the decision to abort or not.
The problem simply wouldn't exist. Most men I know, however would not agree to that, so how about this...once the woman has the baby instead of aborting, that you and Elaine and all those who want to change the ROE V WADE decision commit to supporting the 20 years of the life of that child. Then I wouldn't have a problem.
Thirdly, Have you ever been pregnant, abused and living in poverty? If so, where, when and what were the circumstances? If you have not, then you have not earned the right to decide whether or not those who are living that painful existence should have to add to their excruciating lives by giving birth to yet one more human being to suffer that abuse on a routine basis.
Look, this is not about you being right or me being right. It is about the human condition and all of us trying to do the best we can with what we have. Being devisive is only adding to the fire we are walking into.
So here's what I propose: Let's agree to disagree and work together toward becoming better human beings and serving each other in LOVE, so that we don't feel the need to kill or judge each other. Yeah, I know it sounds very "airy fairy" but I truly believe it's possible and am implementing positive change in my own life...which is where it has to begin...in ourselves.

I found it interesting that you talk about the "moral absolutes" as if they are written in stone and if you had your way, you would abolish a woman's right to choose abortion, NOT leaving the decision of whether or not to abort to the women who are actually having the baby and supporting it for 20 years and will be forced to live with the decision while you were trained to kill legally for a living and in the same breath asking "how about leaving the decision of whether or not to abolish the gay policy to the men and women who are actually serving in the military and will be forced to live with the decision.
What's wrong with this picture?

I watched a video about women in a country in Africa where hundreds of thousands of their men were killed in war. Women now make up 50% of their law making branch of government and their country is making great strides as a result. What is amazing is that the husbands of the legislators are surprised at how much of a positive difference this is making in his and his family's lives.
Shouldn't we give it a try here in the US? What do we have to lose?
