Members ReddFoxx Posted June 27, 2015 Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 There aren't enough votes to pass a constitutional amendment, so there's not much of a worry for that. Roe v. Wade has been attacked for years, yet it is still in tact. A court interpretation was the only way this was going to get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 27, 2015 Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 I meant longterm on the amendment, although it's unlikely. The Roe vs Wade thing is a situation where the right is still there, but many states have made it difficult for clinics to stay open or women to get an abortion. It won't be as easy to do that with marriage...just makes me uneasy. I just hope people stay safe after some of the rhetoric going around today.

Members allmc2008 Posted June 27, 2015 Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 What really pisses me off though is that now i have to put up with religious hicks all day on the bus and dg going on about how God Is frowning and that the US is sodom and gomorrah 2.0. Some are even saying that he is getting ready to return for judgment day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted June 27, 2015 Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 Apparently those people didn't even bother to do a google search. As someone who actually has researched emigrating to Canada, I can assure you they aren't interested in our rednecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 27, 2015 Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 The only time I 'threatened' to move to Canada was when I feared that George W. Bush would become President of the United States. I had a gut feeling that should he get elected, it would be the beginning of sorrows, at least for me. Sadly, that feeling proved to be prophetic. I could never understand why people feel the need to rule over people's personal lives when it is of no consequence to society. Not everyone has to agree or champion everyone else's positive affirmations (although it would be nice) but people should really respect the decision of consenting adults who want to go on ahead and sort out their personal business and stay out of their business. Half of those people who wail about the sanctity of marriage, will gladly watch a marathon of Sister Wives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted June 27, 2015 Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 A great day indeed! I'm legal everywhere, y'all! No surprise the opponents are also ignorant regarding Canada. You can't escape us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted June 27, 2015 Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 So many of these people who hide behind their bibles forget such passages as divorced women who shall be stoned. Or divorce itself as a sin. Or they threaten to quit watching Bold & Beautiful because of the transgender story, but have watched 100's of men enter Brooke Logan and Taylor Hayes' vaginas for YEARS. Three-fourths of those men from the SAME FAMILY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 27, 2015 Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 I was a broke student in the Bush years, but if McCain had won I was seriously considering London. It became very clear very early that was not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted June 28, 2015 Members Share Posted June 28, 2015 It's about damn time. I'm not surprised, just happy. This data about gay marriage shocked me. It's amazing how much people have grew in such a short time. http://www.pewforum.org/2015/06/08/graphics-slideshow-changing-attitudes-on-gay-marriage/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 29, 2015 Members Share Posted June 29, 2015 Two women who I have known and loved for years got officially engaged tonight. I'm so thrilled for them that I can barely breathe. When I think about the change I've seen in my fairly short lifetime, I feel like Miss Jane Pittman.

Members DaytimeFan Posted June 29, 2015 Members Share Posted June 29, 2015 Canada has had gay marriage for 10 years, as of tomorrow. And yes, we keep our border closed to foreign rednecks. It's actually a very difficult country to emigrate to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
