From what I have heard, all the theories on this board are wrong, with the theories about abortion being closest. My wifes father spent a good deal of time in Britain in the 60's, and evidently Ride is where there was a facility for unmarried pregnant women (girls) to go to when they were close to giving birth. This was a common practice back in those days due to the social stigma of a young woman having a child out of wedlock. So when they say "She's got a ticket to Ride, and she don't care" it puts a whole new meaning on the song.

When bloody freaks come out of the closet, it's time for the people of God to go into the closet.
Matthew 6
5And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
1 Timothy 2
1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to establishing an unborn child as the legal victim of a
crime that results in harm to the unborn child; creating new
provisions; and amending ORS 163.005, 163.095, 163.115,
163.118, 163.125 and 163.145.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. ORS 163.005 is amended to read:
163.005. { + (1) As used in this section:
(a) 'Criminal homicide' is murder, manslaughter or criminally
negligent homicide.
(b) 'Human being' means:
(A) A person who has been born and was alive at the time of the
criminal act; and
(B) An unborn child.
(c) 'Unborn child' means a member of the species Homo sapiens
at any stage of development while carried in the womb. + }
{ - (1) - } { + (2) + } A person commits criminal homicide
if, without justification or excuse, the person intentionally,
knowingly, recklessly or with criminal negligence causes the
death of another human being.
{ - (2) 'Criminal homicide' is murder, manslaughter or
criminally negligent homicide. - }
{ - (3) 'Human being' means a person who has been born and
was alive at the time of the criminal act. - }
{ + (3) A person does not commit criminal homicide if the
death is of an unborn child and occurs:
(a) During a lawful abortion performed with the pregnant
woman's consent to the abortion or with the consent of a person
authorized to act on the pregnant woman's behalf; or
(b) As the result of acts committed by the pregnant woman.
(4) In a prosecution for a criminal homicide involving the
death of an unborn child, it is no defense that the defendant did
not know or could not reasonably have known that the woman was
pregnant. + }
It is no defense that the U. S. Supreme Court says that abortion is not murder.(This Oregon measure is unconstitutional because it fails to provide equal protection of the law to all "unborn children".) The unborn are persons, the Constitution expressly forbids the depriving of any person of life without due process of law, and the U.S. Supreme Court's sole function is to determine the Constitutionality of legal practices and processes in the United States of America. This is not a question of political preference. In permitting abortion in the United States of America, the U.S. Supreme Court has declared unequivocally that the U.S. Constitution is NOT the supreme law of the land and that THEY are. That is treason, and it is the sworn duty of every oath-bound office-holder in the government to uphold and defend the Constitution from ALL enemies, both foreign AND DOMESTIC. Anyone and everyone that diputes this declaration is an enemy of the Constitution and is subject to lawful arrest and prosecution. The ONLY question is whether the American People have the intelligence, courage and character to defend their country from its enemies. If the U.S. Constitution is not the supreme law of the land, what is?
Part of the Illuminist New World Order agenda in immanentizing the Christian Eschaton, or creating a secular humanist Luciferian utopia on Earth, is the unfettering of sexual gratification from its familial and procreative purposes as defined in the divine revelation of the Judeo-Christian scriptures. The primary aim of this destruction of familial order is to disconnect individuals from their traditions and heritage so that their highest loyalty is to the New World Order and the annihilistic objectives of the Luciferian Oligarchy. "Winston Smith loved Big Brother." That the death of millions of human beings is part and parcel of this agenda is already abundantly evident. And it is expressly forbidden by the United States Constitution. We need to get our own house in order before we try to straighten out the problems of other countries, such as Iraq.
Matthew 7
1Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Shalom.
