Watch the humanists and objectivists duke it out! en http://www.secularstudents.org/node/415 <p>Michael, president of the Kent Secular Humanists, sent in the following question and gave me permission to post it and my response.&nbsp; I'm curious what the rest of you think.</p><p align="justify"><em>In a recent Executive Meeting, we were discussing ideas on how to get our name out and known on the campus.&nbsp; One idea that came up was start a petition of some sorts to send to the Ohio Governer to keep abortion legal.&nbsp; Even though all of in the group right now, are pro-choice I was having second thoughts about it.&nbsp; Mainly because since Atheism doesn't perscribe to any one belief and I wouldn't want to persuade any pro-life freethinkers to join our group.&nbsp; Also just based on the fact that abortion is such a emotional subject I thought it might be better to steer clear of it and maybe focus on civil rights issues insted.&nbsp; What have you heard from groups that gotten involved in politics and how did it work out for them?&nbsp;</em></p> Are we all liberals? 20-April-2006
