That's the popular thing to say on many talk radio shows, but what does it have to do with abortion? Most women are attempting to be responsible, by not bringing an unwanted child into the world. Most were also trying to be responsible in preventing a pregnancy, but people aren't perfect, and...

In using an independent contractor, she was ahead of her time, you know. ;)

Why would the Bixby Center have a "vested interest in marginalizing the consequences of abortion"? They also work to improve maternal health, so it's not just a pro abortion ideology on their part. And one important fact: abortion, like rape, is a subject on which women feel a great deal of...

Wow - he actually does that on purpose, with his hair? Even worse than I thought - and that was pretty bad, lol. Given his competition, declaring him POTUS material is not exactly a high bar to surpass.

Isn't the divorce rate high enough already?! Seriously: people will have sex, it's not going to stop. But we can stop blaming them when unanticipated events occur, and demanding they give over the rest of their lives to paying for it - because that's what a child means. If you want a child...

But you see the point is we are human, and we err. Also, they haven't found the perfect contraceptive yet, so pregnancies happen. [Don't even mention abstinence, as married couples discover the failure of birth control, too.]

Umm, some of those truck drivers aren't men, Kemosabe. :rolleyes: And the ones who are? I'd rather they focus on their driving, and not make the rest of us look bad by wrecking their truck, or even just weaving it all over the road. If you had to deal with the DOT & FMCSA, you'd know how bad...

Ninjas in trailers?! I just can't even - stop - laughing. :blackalien:

John: the baby in the OP was very much wanted, and I think her parents would agree with you, and consider it worth it. If abortion is made illegal again [or just nearly impossible to get, as is the current aim of conservative legislation], there will be a lot more such preemies, and who should...

I've never cared for remarks about a candidate's appearance, but c'mon: when the man can't see what looks like a dead rodent perched on his forehead, he is not POTUS material. Period.

Abortions are rarely performed after 20 weeks - that preemie was 24 weeks gestation. Any idea what 16 weeks in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit costs? Of course it was worth every penny to the parents who wanted her, but how many unwanted babies should we spend that kind of astronomical money on?

He certainly is 'confused'. What he describes as "selling the body parts of children" is what the law calls "donating tissue, with the express consent of the individual from whom it was obtained, to be used for potentially life saving research by a legitimate organization." Just as I will donate...

Why is that, in your opinion?

Christians are a widely disparate lot, from the fire breathing fundies to the casual, church only on Easter & Christmas kind. It's the former who have become quite aggressive the past few years, as the views of society have evolved, away from what they would prefer. They're on the Titanic, and...

The Church of England was the Catholic Church, until Henry the 8th wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon, and the Pope refused to go along [especially when the rumors started flying about the young bit of fluff known as Nan Bolyn]. Without the Pope's agreement, Henry was stuck with the old wife...

I cannot believe you would compare gays to pedophiles! Gays are consenting adults who do not harm anyone, much less children. Priests are a greater threat to children, and it's religion that protects the threat and vilifies the non threatening. I don't watch tv, [or think the media's...

It's not about being comfortable in who they are, it's about being uncomfortable in who others are, and that's what led to the end of slavery, and whole lot of other indefensible practices and beliefs. Like public hangings. And the Women's Christian Temperance League, too. ;)

Because that would lead to porn on prime time tv - not a good idea, IMO. :p

Excuse me, but it was you who said "keep pretending an IUD will prevent an STD" as if the provider would hand it over with nary a word about what it does and does not do. Even as a full grown adult [and mother], when I got contraceptives from PP, they never failed to remind me that it's no...

It's not my sole source, [I knew a bit about Stonewall], but it did clarify the background to the widespread anger that is different. Gay men died by the thousands, while no one in authority would even acknowledge there was a 'plague', much less do something to find out what it was and how to...
