You play you pay.
It is clear that many people are ignorant of exactly what "paying" means in connection with "playing".
It is also clear that you and other anti-leagal abortion folks hate and mistrust women, especially pregnant women.
quote:
I don't support the government doing anything relating to sex. That should be for the parents (competent parents anyway)to *gasp* teach their children about sex and its CONSEQUENCES.
Yeah, but many parents don't do that.
Let's say little Jenny's and little Tommy's respective parents don't teach them anything about sex. There is no sexual health education available to them in school, either. They are ill-informed, learning about sex from their friends and from movies and TV in a haphazard way, learning a mix of myth and truth.
Tommy gets Jenny pregnant even though they thought they were using birth control properly. Jenny decides to have an illegal abortion which is discovered, because there are surveillence cameras all over the place and the FBI has been watching this woman's health clinic for a while ever since abortion became illegal again.
Do you hold Jenny's and Tommy's parents liable for the "murder" of the pregnancy, because they failed to communicate the proper knowledge to their children?
quote:
Have an unwanted pregnance? Either keep the kid or give him/her up for adoption.
OK, one of your suggestions is to keep the kid.
Well, let's see, if the mother cannot aford it, are you going to pay for quality day care for the baby while the mother completes school and/or works in order to provide a good life for the child? Oh, wait, conservatives don't like day care because you believe day care damages children and that a parent should raise them. OK, so that means that you must be in favor of supporting the mother to stay home and take care of the child. Oh, hold on, THAT'S no good because that's
welfare. Conservatives hate welfare even more than you hate daycare, so that's out.
I almost forgot to remind you that carrying a pregnancy to term and giving birth and the recovery afterwards is no walk in the park for a woman's body. People still die from complications due to pregnancy. In fact, people die at a rate
11 times greater from preganacy and childbirth compared to having an abortion. That's not to mention the permenent physical damage that can be done short of death.
So, what's your solution, tal?
quote:
There are plenty of couples out there that can't have kids of their own that would jump at the chance of adopting.
Except that there are thousands of children
right now who are waiting to be adopted and who never will be. They will bounce around from foster home to foster home until they "age out" of the system and are left to fend for themselves.
What kind of fantasy world do you live in?
quote:
The answer is definately not to scramble the kids brains and crush his skull.
The vast majority of abortions are done long, long before the fetus is anywhere close to being that developed, tal. They are done in the first trimester. D&X procedures are very rare.
Perhaps you should read some real statistics instead of getting them from biased wingnut websites.
quote:
Here's a theory: Don't have sex until marriage. I did it.
Er, do you think that married women don't get abortions?
Only 8% of women getting abortions used no contraception. 90% of women who have an unplanned pregnancy are using contraception.
quote:
I now have 2 wonderful children and good, solid family life.
One or both of those children are adopted, right? Because it would be hypocritical of you to suggest that people put their unwanted children up for adoption if you aren't going to volunteer to take at least one.
quote:
Who taught me about sex? My mother did when I was 8 years old. All the gory stuff too. It wasn't just jack and jill make a baby jack somehow. I guess that was her nursing and biology degrees coming into play. I didn't rely on the government to tell me how to make my decisions or what the consequences would be.
That's dandy for you.
My parents told me NOTHING about sex. Not a thing. Luckily, I had at least a decent bit of sex education in health class, but I learned from friends and from reading things myself.
It seems you want to encourage ignorance about sex within the population.
That is never a good thing.
Now, I notice that you overlooked some questions I had for you regarding your views on punitive measures against people who kill fertilized eggs or allow them to die. Please answer them
What about people who take the "Morning After Pill"?
Should we convict them of murder if it can be determined that they housed within their bodies a fertilized egg?
Also, should we be collecting and searching the menstrual discharge of all female people, since most fertilized eggs never implant and are expelled to die?
What about IUD's? Since they prevent preganacy by preventing implantation, should we outlaw them?
I mean, Those fertilized eggs are life, right? Shouldn't we be doing all we can to save it?
