Re: Notice and nitpick
I'm soory, I was unclear.
When I said, "That's what you think you are doing when you willfully misrepresent my current stated position?", I did not mean that you were misrepresenting my current position in this thread.
I really have no idea if you are or aren't, since I haven't really read your posts to me. I just scroll on by. Honestly.
What I meant was more generic; you think that you are making predictions about my future arguments in any debate by distorting the argument I am currently making.
Another way to describe this tendency of yours, holmes, is to say that you create strawmen of my arguments.
Then, you refuse to be corrected, insisting over and over again that your (usually hyperbolic) strawman is valid to the argument at hand.
You don't do this with every single point in every single post, but you do it consistently enough for me to be turned right off of debate with you, permenently.

Re: Does anyone have an absolute right to abortion?
The leading cause of death, worldwide, for women ages 13-18 is pregnancy. You may have heard the term "complications from pregnancy", but that's a misnomer. The stresses that a developing fetus places on a mother's body simply kill the mother, sometimes.

Hmmm. This is the one issue that brings out the religious hysteric in you, isn't it Crashfrog? Generally I'm with you in most arguments (especially your enjoyable spats with Holmes), but here I think you're accepting feminist rhetoric too unquestioningly.
The facts that Crash posted are not "feminist rhetoric".
The leading cause of death for women worldwide is due to pregnancy and childbirth.
Of course, if you have some statistics that show otherwise, I'd be very interested in seeing them.
