    Hehe...they're not even my taxes. If you'd simply take the time to read back, I was discussing Canada, a nation wherein everyone pays for the abortions of their neighbors.

    Dude, what "nags" me is the pro-choice mindset that often wants to state:

    My body
    My choice
    Everyone's responsibility.

    It's both contradictory and dangerous.

    Do you not see the hypocrisy from the other side as well?

    I have the number of a particular special agent from the US treasury department. I'm sure he would be able to answer that question. Just don't ask him any questions!!!!

    "treasury agent" doesn't sound very reassuring. i asked the question, knowing the answer that ffg does not.

    What's the answer?

    Edit: has the abortion thread turned into a tax thread? I bet it moves on to free will eventually............

    I've got no leverage on him that way. Will you be a nice Mata Hari and take care of that? I promise many good things for you.

    I already stated my piece on this thread. It's ultimately up to women.
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    If neither of them don't want to end up with a pregnancy on their hands, then neither of them should be having sex. An abortion is not necessary to avoid having a child. All you have to do is not have sex.



    Women have the same choices. Therefore, abortion should even come into play if you never have an unwanted pregnancy in the first place.



    But I thought both parents shared equal responsibility... Do you consider a father's attachment to his child to be less than a mother's?



    Why does she also have the right to decide what happens to her child in that way? Killing for convenience.



    Why do you act like more men are pro-life than women? What has led you to this conclusion? I'm afraid that you are woefully ignorant to believe that. I can't imagine this hasn't been brought to your attention a thousand times, but the early feminists felt abortion was a terrible crime against women.

    Men and women care about this issue because we believe that abortion is the killing of completely innocent human life, and that everyone should have a chance to live.



    But not sad enough, right?



    But it's not just her body anymore.



    You can try to dehumanize unborn children all you like, but that won't change the fact that that "cluster of cells" is precisely what a human being is at that stage of its life. What makes a baby for you? Some superficial quality like appearance? Who are you to decide when a human being isn't a human being, and therefore should not even have the right to continue to exist?

    So anyway, stupidly, I did initially attempt to respond to ALL that you had to say here, but then I realized, why am I bothering?

    "What we have here is a failure to communicate"

    You have a nice day. :) I'm done.
    NOPE!!!

    I'm not sure I understand your example of both prisons vs. execution. But whatever your side of the fence is on that one, it means we're dealing with people already on this earth. If someone is a pedophile, murderer, or rapist then I'm fine to pay for their jail (or execution, depending on the crime and jury's verdict) because I could be affected by their behavior. It's an example to other people who are tempted to commit a crime. It's a necessary evil.

    On the other hand, if a woman doesn't want a child in South Carolina, I'm not affected by her choice. I don't think people should pay to encourage her to have a child she doesn't want. It's not that I'm cold hearted, I'm involved in numerous charities, but again, it's a ridiculous and expensive bill. Put the money into education for the kids that are already here. If a woman is unsure and wants to see what a child looks like at her stage of pregnancy, then show her a damn picture. If she wants the abortion then give her the abortion.

    SuzannePjam, just wanted to say thank you for posting this thread and for all the information, and for articulating your views so well. :)

    LMAO. you have to be kidding. the western world is run by men. there is no denying that. we do indeed live in a patriarchal society.

    then why dont you vote for more women? men dont have the votes to own every office unless some women are voting for them. get your sisters in line ;)

    i like the fact that your egocentric arrogance makes me look like a model of humility around here. i've seen few people who are so unjustifiably smug. it makes me feel like less of a douchebag. thanks.
