1. I dunno. Maybe you could ask Jimmy Swaggart?
Or Jim Bakker, perhaps? :evilgrin:

9. when bob dole came forward with that information and his wife
libby said "and yes it works" that was way too much information for me to have about a politician.

3. Could it be
because they think abortion is murder?

5. And another question in the same topic...
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 07:24 PM by Lost-in-FL
If science created VIAGRA... why they oppose Stem Cell Therapy? Isn't it science too??

6. Probably because taking Viagra isn't the equivalent of killing a baby.
I can see where they would care about the one and not the other.

11. "killing a baby"?? That's called INFANTICIDE, not 'abortion'!

An embryo (zygote, blastocyst, et. al.) ISN'T a "baby"!!

19. I'm just telling you how they would answer.
The question itself seems silly, it's apples and oranges. Prescribing drugs to give you a hard on is not in the same league as aborting a fetus.

8. Because they believe abortion kills a baby and viagra doesn't.
What about that is confusing?

12. I think they ARE against Viagra
It's just a lot easier to sentimentalize about abortion being "killing unborn babies".

They're against sex in general. It's a weird thing, since most Christian rightists seem to get a whole lot of poonage on the side. The old dirty jokes about Catholic girls being "fast" now have to play second chair to tales of swinging Fundy chicks and their Viagra-popping yuppie boyfriends.

--p!

14. It's the old joke...
If men could get pregnant, abortion would not only be legal, it would be free with a fill-up.

16. Because "pro-life" is actually "anti-women"
Viagra benefits the Alpha males who drive that community.

17. Or, another conundrum...
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 07:53 PM by Patsy Stone
Why is the Christian right against abortion and pro death penalty?

Is one life more important to them than another?

18. Because they're impotent and they can't get it up, so they need Viagra
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 07:58 PM by ...of J.Temperance
This is the ONLY reason that these freaks support Viagra, because the Christian Right old men are hypocrites and they want to fuck all those young things that they see in their warped Church...but they can't get it up, so they LOVE Viagra.

This is just my opinion...I could be wrong...but I don't think I am.

On Edit: Spelling error.

and keeps them in their place.

Viagra in the sense it keeps the man masculine and in charge - well, in their pathetic minds at least.
