I seriously do not have the energy to argue about gay marriage anymore.

I literally know ONE friend whose had multiple abortions. I think if I remember it correctly, she told me 5 or 6 in her life. She's almost 30 and has a DD now.

She didn't use it as a 'form' of birth control. It just happened that way. She's been having sex since high school. That breaks down to like, one abortion every few years. That's not birth control. That's just life. It's legal and safe, and doesn't make her a horrible person. Her uterus is her business, not mine.

But... your religion has NOTHING to do with someone else's civil rights as a human being. WTF do people who use the "Christianity" argument not get about this?

Because The Jesus hated gay people and that's why they can't get married. It's like TOTALLY in the Bible. Right?!

Oh, I was soooooooooooo ignoring this until you right this second.

I'm a Christian.  It's not that simple for me.

A marriage license in the US has nothing to do Holy Matrimony.  If it did, then only Christians would be allowed to get married.  Do you have a problem with non-Christians getting married?

Do you also not support 2nd marriages in cases of divorce?  Because you know, technically, the Bible is only okay with divorce when one spouse committed adultery.  So, like, Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh are living a lifestyle as sinful as Elton John.  Only, they're not as loving towards others (a silly little thing Jesus preached on) as your average gay guy.

However, if you're going to say that you hold all marriages to the principles of the Bible, then I'm cool with that.  Those are your beliefs and you're sticking to them.  I'm not one to say what someone should believe.  But if you're a Christian who picks and chooses which parts of the Bible you're okay with, then no.

You're right and I am one of those christian people who loves their neighbors and do not feel compelled to infringe on their rights...which is why I don't vote. All I said was that I don't support it. But I'm also not heading to the polls to fight it.

lapetitelune, you failed to answer how someone's civil right to have the benefits of being a recognized partnership in the eyes of the law (because, well, that's all that marriage is to the state) interferes with your religion?

Oh, hmm I don't know if I saw that because there were A LOT of comments..obviously.

Honestly the state may recognize what it wants to. I think I mentioned in a pp that I don't vote to avoid conflicts with my religion. I'm neutral as it were. I'm neither voting for it nor against it. But I personally feel that it is wrong, based off of the bible. I'm sure you all know how it goes so I don't have to quote any specific scripture. Unless someone wants me to.

What happens if you give birth to a gay child? 

She'll pray the gay away, of course. It's what Jeebus would do.

Do you realize that is what this whole gay marriage is about, right? That partnership rights are treated as equal no matter what two consenting adults want to enter into them? No one says you have to let them into your church. No one says you have to stop praying the gay away or loving your gay aunt less than any straight relatives. Just that they can make end of life decisions for their partners and can file joint taxes and 1000 other unsexy nongay rights that you currently legally enjoy. Pretty sure the bible didn't say much about those things.

I'm sure with my original UO I've made some enemies. And I'm okay with that. I don't think any less of someone who supports gay marriage, or someone who is republican or a democrat or whatever. You are entitled to do as you chose. Just as I am. If that makes me a bigot simply because I've chosen something against what you believe then ok. I'm not upset. You're entitled to feel that way. The OP asked for a UO and I gave you one. Like it or not ladies. I gave you one.

The last time I did anything to my pubic hair other than a light trim with nail scissors was probably two years ago. I just don't like the way I look hairless. I feel like it makes me look wider and a full bush balances me out aesthetically. Plus I think it's sexy. The last time I remember shaving my legs was my wedding, 8 months ago. I mainly wear pants and maxi dresses and just throw on tights if I wear something shorter. I did shave my pits before last weekend because I was wearing a sleeveless dress to a wedding, but before that it may have been my wedding when I last did it. It's half feminism half laziness. And H and I are cool with it. He's a pretty hairy chested guy, and I think it's so sexy. I'd cry if he shaved it. My abortion was probably slightly more painful than my m/c, fortunately with my m/c everything passed on it's own and I didn't require medication. I recognize that I am very lucky in this regard. It was not emotionally painful to me and it was absolutely the right decision. Without it I never would have met my H or have the wonderful life I do. While I didn't take it lightly, it was an immediate decision. On a lighter note, my UO is that I do not like matching groomsmen vests to the bridesmaid dresses. I think it looks prommish and in certain colors can look really tacky under tuxes. Especially in pastels. H's vest and tie in the wedding he was in were lilac. It did not look good.

Lol, I thought this comment was in relation to the Bible prohibition on trimming the edges of your "beard".  I was waiting for the punchline, but I guess it's in relation to the earlier UOs about body hair.

Oh gawd, I know someone exactly like this. I know she thinks I'm an alcoholic. 

Agreed. My brother doesn't drink and always side-eyes all of us when we have a beer or a glass of wine with dinner.

My BIL is like that too. Whenever DH and I are somewhere where we have a drink BIL always has to announce that he doesn't drink. We know already. He once said while I was drinking, "Oh she's going to be getting drunk." I was like, "It's going to take a lot more than this, dude." 

In my experience many of the people I have met who don't drink by choice tend to have very high opinions of themselves. It drives me crazy. I hate how some non drinkers assume that alcohol automatically leads to a major downfall and that people who drink are not successful. I grew up in the CT/NY suburbs of NYC and some of the most successful people I've ever met are functioning alcoholics. I'm not saying that is a great lifestyle, but it sure as hell disproves the idea that people who drink can't lead sucessful lives.

I really hate it when men shave or wax off all of their body hair. I think it is really strange, and I don't find it attractive at all. I mean, "manscaping" is ok, but I just don't understand why a man would shave his legs/chest/pits unless he was entering a bodybuilding competition. 

I agree.  I feel like men should have some hair.  I don't want it out of control, but when it's too smooth or whatever, I find it unattractive.

That's just life. It's legal and safe, and doesn't make her a horrible person. Her uterus is her business, not mine.

That is a whole lot of abortions just from having sex regularly since high school. I am totally pro choice, but come on, she could not figure out that unprotected sex would lead to a possible pregnancy which she obviously did not want? Abortions ain't know fun, I can speak from experience and I sure the would not want to go down that road more than once, just because oops I had unprotected sex again and now i am pregnant. It seems she did use it as a form of birth control since she was not using any other type to prevent it from happening again and again and again and again and again. That kind of makes me really angry that anyone would think that number of abortions is justified just from casually having sex and getting pregnant and not wanting the baby with no other factors like rape or something involved. And yes it is legal and yes it is safe but there also come a lot of risks like having trouble with future pregnancies or a botched job by the doctor. I almost don't believe she is telling the truth. It is painful physically and emotionally and not cheap, even if you go through planned parenthood. I can't imagine anyone being that careless with sex and willing to put themselves through that kind of pain so many times. Does your friend have a fear of condoms or birth control pills? I am sorry but that is not just life. Life is you make a mistake and learn from it so it does not happen again. I guess that is my early FFFC, I had an abortion, many moons ago and it sucked a fat one!

I'm sorry you had to go through that, LBAB. I was thinking the same thing but I didn't have the guts to say it.

She still mourns the loss even though it was the right decision for her.
