Question

Can you personally be against adultery but politically be pro-choice on the adultery issue?

Answer 1

Yea, like so many politicians, it is called being a hypocrite.

Answer 2

Sure.  I personally don't think that I'd ever have one, but I resent people telling me what I can and can't do with my own body.

Answer 3

Why not? That's called putting the will of the people against your own selfish whims. Unless of course you are correct and the people's whims are selfish. Think about it long and hard beforehand for the answer.

Answer 4

Did you mean abortion?  Since when is adultery a "political issue"?  

If you are talking about the fact that candidates adultery becomes and issue... I think the reason the politician's adultery becomes an issue is because it shows that they are untrustworthy.

Actually I can't imagine how stupid a politician must be to have an affair.  Do they REALLY think they won't get caught?!  To me it shows your dishonest, untrustworthy, unloyal, and pretty dang naive

Answer 5

I think the most basic commendable attribute in a person is being able to say "I would never do this, but I think it's up to you to decide whether you would".

I hate those asshats who, just because they find something offensive or disturbing think it's their duty to have it outlawed. If you can't respect other peoples opinions and right to free choice, then go live on your own in the middle of nowhere and save us both some aggro.

Answer 6

It's not possible to be pro-choice unless you've already got a case of moral relativism.

When there are no moral absolutes, we're free to make any decision, regardless of any principles we don't find convenient.

The same people who want to kill babies, also want no death penalty for mass murders.

The ones who want to ban cigarettes, also want to legalize pot.

The ones who want racial tolerance, also want racial division for colleges and workplaces (affirmative action anyone?)

The ones who chain themselves to trees and demand a clean environment, also want to drive their cars and live in houses made of wood.

The ones who sue for the rights of pornographer's free speech, are the same that demand no Christian speaker should be allowed on a University.

I could go on for hours...but you get the drift.

Frankly, how our society can kill 50 million innocent American babies since 1973 and yet launch protests against a war that killed off a paltry 4000 adult volunteer American service men in 5 years.....

....just sickens me.

Answer 7

I can only speak for myself. I believe that adultery is wrong however God gave us all free will. He gave us that free will because we are not robots nor does He want us to be. If God can tell you that its wrong then I have no probably telling you its wrong in my view based on Bible teachings. But I can NOT tell you that you have to agree with me, only God can Judge you and your reasons. I can understand that everyone makes mistakes and still love you, God does!  I can forgive you for making a bad choice from the free will that God gave you but I don't have to agree with what you did. I shouldn't take away your free will, but I shouldn't bargain with Gods Word nor law either. Who am I to change what he says? I am no body!

Answer 8

Yeah, sure, but that wouldn't be being exactly true to YOURSELF. But if your gettin' paid big bucks, GO FOR IT!!!!
