Yup. Exactly ... and that - or the precursors to it - is part of what is addressed in the Rational Wiki link that I provided to Dave with regard to the "slippery slope". Religion - in addition to having the potential to make people stupid - also has the potential to make them crazy.

And until those in the (supposedly) "pro-life" camp can divorce themselves from using argumentation which relies more on emotion - often bordering on the hysterical - than it does on reason and logic, they will have no credibility.

The logical flaw in the above is that an enterprising person could makes a business out of just about anything (policing, courts and criminal justice, prison system, national defense and security, private armies ... to name but a few)

True - it has more with the right to not reproduce ... Again, an inaccurate statement - because the reproduction has not been fully completed.

As I have commented on before: the above is actually an inaccurate statement. It would be more accurate to say that life continues at conception ... and that as a consequence of conception, the continuation which then exists has the potential to eventually come into full being and can then...

Tell it to this guy: Jesus, at Least, Opposed the Death Penalty - Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove - Red Letter Christians

First, I'd say that one doesn't have to get to the point of "approval" of abortion to believe that it simply isn't the place of the government, for the most part, to intrude into private medical decisions in order to force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term. Secondly, I'd say that it might...

He's also a politician ... which may - or may not - be compatible with being a "man of honor" ... or his ability to "considerate" questions ... First off, if your characterization ("no effort was made") is referring to a response to the attacks, then it is false: In fact multiple efforts were...

And to assume that someone who doesn't believe in a certain, particular religious creed must then therefore "believe in nothing" is logically flawed and not supportable. One thing does not necessarily follow from the other.

Apparently, you misunderstand what laying out an argument using logic actually consists of. Or what is involved in using logic to refute another's argument. You've announced that I'm "incorrect all the way around" - all without bothering to really elaborate or make a case for HOW that is so...

You can say it - unfortunately, it doesn't appear that you can argue it on a sound, rational basis, using logic ... otherwise you probably would have ... Good to know ... not that anyone implied otherwise ... Right ... Most folks do eventually ... even if they have be dragged to it, kicking...

McCain was too busy trying to figure what country we needed to bomb or invade next, to be bothered with spending much time on anything so mundane or inconsequential as caring for the military veterans who have previously served their country.

Sorry, but I'm afraid she is correct. Someone raped is being forced to engage in a sexual act against their will. Someone raping OTOH is engaging in a sexual act possibly as a means of sexual gratification ... and also possibly as a means to just dominate and subjugate another. It can be...
