Argument for the civil discussions in Congress to end

Abortion:

Is a woman defying nature by deciding against propagation? After all, the natural goal of all living organisms is to pass on their own genes to the next generation. Are we as humans going against our biological nature in pursuing more lofty goals than the short term effect of bringing another human life into the world? I believe not.

It is in the best interest of the entire world for innovation and invention to continue, as well as the reformation of existing systems and the restoration of ancient systems that are far superior to what exist currently. Study is the most common way for humans today to investigate and look into the future, but what the global society needs today is a vision, a vision towards which it can work. With globally combined brainpower and international effort the earth, as it is led by humans, can really trust that to enter the twenty first century is a greatest threshold it has yet crossed.

Humans have naturally large brains that allow them to percieve their world as something in which they live, something which perpetually affects them, and something that ultimately they have the power to change. Over the past five thousand years, homo sapiens sapiens have inhabited the earth while both terrorizing and cherishing it. Every human civilization from the beginning of time has both given something to the earth, as well as taken away from it, be it due to the tilling of crops, the raping of natural resources, or the impressive inventions that have come to dot the landscape as far away as the Arctic Circle. It would be a waste for humans to either not acknowledge the gift that we have been given--to invent and to wonder--or use the gift to its greatest extent. Unfortunately, up to now, all the things that we have done for the earth have had negative consequences.

Gay Marriage:
How can such a large group of people be against bringing equality to a group of people? The fight to make gay marriage illegal seems only to be a push for a type of segregation, a way of promoting a very specific and close-minded lifestyle. The scariest thing is that so many states have the majority of their populations voting in favor of keeping certain civil rights away from certain people.

I realize that what the far right is trying to do is bring concern over family values to the forefront of political discussion, perhaps in an attempt to offset the discussion of the war in Iraq, and perhaps in an attempt to convince moderates that the direction in which America has been heading in the past ten years is the wrong direction and that the country needs to return to more conservative values in order to preserve heritage and good old morality.
