Thorne, I pay taxes that go into Medicaid. Medicaid is used to pay for abortions in cases of rape, incest, or endangerment to the life of the mother. Yes, I believe (no matter what science or Jesus says) that a baby is a baby from the time of conception. So yes, it is killing babies to me. However, I don't have to agree with the choices of others. I believe that a woman has a right to choose what to do with her body, but there will always be a price to pay for every choice. She who makes choices that cost money should pay her own damn bills. Sorry if she didn't choose to have a medical issue, but that's how it goes. That's what charity is for. Entitlements BLOW!

Here's a story for you that has to do with our wonderful entitlements--my son-in-law had to go to the hospital last week. They diagnosed him with gall stones. Told him that it would cost $10,000 for the surgery, and he had to have like $800 up front. He applied for medicaid because he just moved here and had no job yet. They told him that if he were here illegally, then he would be covered. But since he is a citizen, he was denied! Oh, and he's found two jobs in two weeks and is working with some illness that turned out NOT to be the stones.

I don't go out asking others to pay for anything that I may need, choice or not. I cowgirl up and go to work, in pain, sick, tired as hell, just like everyone else should! There are very few people who can actually say that they are incapable of doing a darned thing to earn some money.

And as far as the word "porn" goes, it's all porn. Doesn't matter if you're reading Danielle Steele (simply because I can't think of the author of the last paperback I read 17 years ago) or looking at naked people. In today's society, porn = nudity. Simple as that. Erotica = Nudity. And Nudity = porn. Half the jokes on TV are about looking at porn...it's quite the blanket word these days. Yes, it's bullshit that Paypal is doing this, but it is their prerogative. I don't have to agree with their business practices, just like I don't have to agree with a woman having an abortion. I have nothing to say about them not accepting transactions for whatever they deem unacceptable, just like I don't want anyone telling me what I can or cannot do in my own business.
