babies born with both organs, what is it boy or girl???

For me it is very simple, as the previous person wrote, when the child is born we all say, ohhh its a boy or its a girl. But what do we say when they have both sexes????? For me this is where the doctor comes in. If the baby have a womb then it should be a girl and if it doesn't then it should be a boy. The difference is very simple, but we live in a society where we make everything complicated. A girl can make babies, and a boy can't

We need to stop trying to make everythig work. Not everything that everyone does or wants should be accepted. If we think everything should be accepted then we should not have rules and regulations because you will always have those whose rights you will trample on.

George W. Bush

This "inept and inadequate" leader has kept you from another 911 and if not for him you wouldn't be here to be spouting off such garbage.

roe vs wade & gay rights etc.

In the case of planned parenthood, there's no excuse for getting pregnant then suddenly changing your mind unless the mother's life is in critical danger...even then, it depends on just how close a relationship the couple enjoy. Personally, it is no one's business except theirs. The sanctity of the family must be preserved and respected.

As for unwanted teen pregnancies...the American people suffer from a serious lack of love and discipline at home. We have this disease called "it's my life and I can do with it as I damn well please and to hell with what everybody else thinks!" In short, if there are no morals and values taught at home let alone any self-respect, just continue passing out condoms and forget abstinence. You want pro-choice, well there it is. Of course, I assume you want to help foot the bill for all the unwed pregnant teens?

On the matter of homosexuality, no one may tell me that when they look at their new born baby and say "oh, it's a boy but we will raise it a girl and visa versa." Do children have good role models?...that is, both a mom and a dad? Again, the sanctity of the mom and dad relationship which makes up a family as originally created should never program their little one to be the opposite of what he or she was created with (that is their sex organs, either a penis or a vagina). Agreed it is extremely difficult if a child is born with both organs to somehow decide which the youngster must be; I don't envy such a predicament. Be that as it may, there are actual cases where a practicing homosexual becomes so tired and disgusted with this lifestyle that he or she will seek out help and change to their rightful orientation per the organ they were born with. Therefore if these people can do that and finally receive peace of mind with themselves and with God, then by golly plenty others can do the same as well. Probably though, far too many are just too afraid to come out and admit their inner struggle and come to grips with some help from those who've been there who can provide the care and spiritual help needed. And as long as the so-called majority (if there is such) of homosexuals continue to harden their hearts; even referring to their "inclusive versions" of the Bible that have perverted the truth of God, those who search for release from guilt and shame and a comfortable change will never receive the help they really want and deserve. Many are the prayers before the throne of grace daily for you...there is always hope.

The GOP had majorities to overturn Roe v Wade

and they dropped the issue. When the R's ruled Congress, have the WH and a compliant USSC, they did nothing. In fact, they've never done anything to oberturn R v Wade, it comes up every election cycle, but they never actually do anything. I am pro-choice, and I am tired of the same old rhetoric, but never any action. It is time for a change, plain and simple. The GOP has duped the American people for long enough. We've lost OUR Rights and Liberties under the GOP, yet there is always discussion of maintaining said Rights and Liberties. Domestic spying on citizens, warrantless searches and seizures, lies and obfuscations, these must cease. All the GOP has is fear to sell, it is about time we stopped buying.

George W. Bush has been the worst president this nation has ever seen, I don't think we can stand another 4 years of inept and inadequate "leadership", and that is all Mccain offers.
