No, the US is not being run by the Bible which is a good thing. My point was that it shouldn't be because it would alienate a large percentage of US citizens who do not follow the Bible (like Jews, Hindus, Muslims, etc).
I completely agree with you that the banned "Merry Christmas" and excessive need to be politically correct is getting rediculous. But the thing is that because America is so diverse that it's getting to the point where people are taking offense in anything that doesn't go along with their religion, beliefs, morals, etc. I know that a lot of times this is blown out of proportion (I've seen my school's Christmas Tree go from "Christmas Tree" to "Seasonal Tree" to "Peace Tree" to "Mitten Tree" to "Mitten Collection Box"!), but when it comes to the law I believe that everyone's views and beliefs should be taken into account. And if 1/2 the country is pro choice and half is pro life then the government should not make a law about it because either way it will not be representing its people the right way. And it will also be restricting rights that many women need.
Even if abortion is banned, it will still happen. Except this time you will basically be ensuring the loss of life for not just the fetus but the mother and the fetus, which is twice as bad.
And I never said Bush was making people go to church on saturday, I was just using a hypothetical example of what enforcing the banning of abortion on the US would be similar to.
I respect your views and I'm not saying that either of ours are necissarily the right or wrong views, I'm just saying what I think is just.
Thank you for responding without being rude, I know a lot of people who voted for Bush who would have sworn at me with every word they know.

I’m sorry it’s taken me such a long time to reply to your comment, but I’ve been overrun the past few days, averaging 100 emails a day. *sighs*
This country was founded on God. English Puritans sailed to America. True, there were those who came only for the excitement, or money, but mainly, so that the Puritans could be free to worship God.
When do you think a child is actually “alive”? There’s the controversy.
Abortion is the fifth main reason for maternal deaths.
:D You’re my favorite person to be debating about this right now. Funny, but I was going to say the same thing about Kerry fans. Lol. But, let’s not get into that…I think both guys are bad.

I agree with you about abortion and gay marriages!
My Mum said that when the Baby's are getting aborted, that they can fill the air being sucked out of them! Its so sad!
There was a testimony about this lady that was having an abortion, and she didn't know if she wanted to do it. well after she had the abortion, she came out crying and stuff, then this other lady that was sitting next to her said: Ahhh! you'll get over it! this is my 7th abortion!

That is just so wrong!
Poor little children!
