    And keeping drugs illegal keeps kids from being raped by crack heads.

    What's your point?

    Just because a policy has real benefits, doesn't necesarily make it GOOD policy.

    Cutting the interest rate to 0 would make the markets skyrocket too.

    Snorting cocaine helps me stay awake.

    ???


    what the hell are you talking about...

    ITS PERSONAL CHOICE

    do you understand this can not be made illegal.. ITS DANGEROUS!

    you dont agree with me that people who feel pressured and outcasts throw their newborn babies away sometimes?

    Absolutely! But your point wasn't that it happens, your point was that it justifies abortion. That makes you resemble your first statment.

    By your logic we should ban free speech, because don't you see that when people can speak freely, it supports white supremecists and neo-nazis to spew vitrol.

    You can't set bad policy to stop real harm.

    It was a personal choice that led to becoming pregnant, as well.

    no you jackass you dont understand and thats why theres 170 posts in this thread


    you think people want to go through an abortion process...can you comprehend how it could possibly make you feel to stop what could eventually be your kid

    so a process that allows you to make the decision ealry AND THIS WAY A GOOD GIRL ISNT DEMONIZED BY FUCKS LIKE YOU WHEN SHE HAS A KID WHEN SHES 16.

    I DONT AGREE WITH ABORTION, BUT WE NEED TO STAY THE FUCK OUT OF IT
  • No.
    can you explain that again?
    So if the state representatives all get togeather to ammend the constitution, they can overule the states?

    No -- states themselves must ratify Constitutional Amendments
    I thought you just let the courts make policy?

    Court make rulings, not policy.

    Hehe...I'm not demonizing anyone for having a kid or having an abortion.

    I agree. What I don't agree with is your reasoning.

    Ok...how about a complete genocide of the human race? That would reduce the annual number of child killings to zero.

    Well that would still be killing. How about a complete sterilization of the human race. This way you completely eliminate the need for abortions.

    You mean once all 50 states and protectorates make it illegal?

    I guess
    a. adoption
    b. don't get pregnant if you don't want a kid.

    what the fuck is so hard about either of those?

    once again, i have never said i have a problem with abortion.
    I have a problem with people pretending that they aren't extinguishing a life. I think that is dishonest.

    Who said anything about making abortion illegal. If the decision was left up to the states there would still be plenty of states where abortion would still be legal.

    Abortion likely won't be made illegal in this country. And I'm not advocating that it should be made illegal.

    My point is that one does not justify abortion using the fact that it "lowers child killing". All sorts of horrible things "lower child killing".

    Because a fetus is ALIVE.
    That little tiny heart you see beating on the ultrasound?

    SO the idea that freedom, rights, and liberty come NECESSARILY DEPENDENT upon duty, personal responsibility and good moral judgement is moronic to you?

    the heart pumps blood through the body..if it comes out of you and is left unattended..it stops beating after some time. as science improves and we get older... we are noW determining a pregnancy within days before the beating even happens...

    your stance in a society that allows and tolerates greed and outcasting its young citizens... your stance is tough luck... you will do what i say with your body and thats the end of story....

    this thought process is beyond me

    If THE PEOPLE think abortion violates some moral code, is unethical, or otherwise unacceptable, the PEOPLE should be able to vote against such a practice.

    I'm not sure what the hell you are talking about when you talk about "within days before that heart starts beating" ... a fetus, whether you like it or not, is a LIVING COLLECTION OF CELLS FROM INCEPTION ... we can argue when it becomes a human all day, but to pretend like you are just chopping up a potato is fundamentaly dishonest. Hell, even a potato is ALIVE, ya'll would ALL admit that, i hope.

    And i don't know WHAT the fuck you are talking about when you say i "tolerate greed" and "outcasting its young citizens", but you can fuck off with the prejudgement.

    And as for your first sentence about the heart pumping blood and stopping, what the fuck are you even ranting about?

    You are starting to sound like that slow kid that used to post in here, that we all tried to be supportive of, but secretely laughed at. (WHAT was that guys name!??!)

    See those LIVING cells?
    Thats all i really am trying to get across. I'm not some rabid pro-lifer.
    I just get sick of hearing people argue that it "isn't a life until it's born". which is retarded.

    you cant control a persons mind. its personal choice ultimately. you cant see that and im sorry for you.. but it wont be made illegal and ron paul wont become president

    So is 1st degree murder.
    What is your point?

    People do bad things everyday.
    It doesn't mean we should sanction it.

    Sorry you don't "see that", myself.

    Again, i could care less if someone gets an abortion.
    Just don't give me some crap about how its not alive, and its "your choice" so there. People should be responsible with their bodies and actions. You can't even agree that people should be responsible for their actions. You just seem to think that since science has figured out away to "solve the problem", it should be acceptable.

    this process can prevent girls from having to make a terrible decision which will send them to jail for life... why would you want to be a part of that when there are proven ways to help these kids out... not everyone is as privaledged with education like us...not everyone can think like this..and fuck.. NOT EVRYONE IS A GUY WHO DOESNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING PREGNANT IN THIS COUNTRY

    which is terrifying to these kids... go to a school and ask them... they are talking about suicide as an alternative..

    You do realize that a fetus prior to 25 weeks of gestation is incapable of surviving outside the womb. The brain and lungs have not fully formed at this point and even provinging every life support measure known to man will not help it live. To me that does not equal a life. You have evry right to believe that it is a life but don't believe for a second that that makes you right. This also applies to me that is why abortion is personal issue between the parents and their conscience.
