Abortion

i quite agree. the world has more than enough people and no one really wants another one of me... especially not me.i just had a thought... would fundies support abortion if you could know from early on that your child was going to be a raging homosexual?

nice.glad i'm not the first to think of it.

well how can god hate fags if god loves sinners (but hates sin)? mustn't there be something extra evil about fags that must be cleansed from the earth?

quite.i love how people think women should be punished for doing what men can do with no reprocussions. note: many stds don't show symptoms in men. fab.

no no. if the man says they did it, they must have. besides. they're black. that makes them criminals.heh yeah maybe.This message has been edited by brennakimi, 10-19-2005 02:59 PM

it was a rehetorical question and i apologize that you thought i meant that you or i think that way.

recently, the court has purposely avoided bringing up cases that would be highly politically charged specifically for that reason. sometimes they purposely bring things up just to uphold current standards but they very rarely bring things up to overturn them.

we can only hope he seeks to maintain it because our court system has enough problems with credibility without the SC screwing itself.

legally i'm prochoice.personally. i hope i never have to think about it.but then i've been accused of supporting eugenics...

brilliant.

the funny thing is that people would disagree with you. there are some amount of crazy people who think that a severe disability should not preclude a right to life. i would tend to agree with them except that i know how very severe disabilities can be. the point is that there should be a choice for those who feel that the suffering of the patient (for want of a better word) and his family would be too great.but then i have autistic friends and may myself have a neuroatypical spectrum disorder... i hate to think what they'd do with that.

yeah. they taught me that lie in lms too. gues what. IT'S A LIE.no condoms don't replace responsible behavior and testing, but it's a start.

yeah. what you said.

so move.if you don't trust your children to make responsible decisions based on the truth, then you probably raised them faultily.if you don't trust them to make well-thought decisions on sex, why would you trust them to make well-thought decisions on religion or science or driving?let me tell you something magical. if we don't tell our children that their bodies and their sexuality is dirty and not to be talked about, what do you think will happen when uncle will comes by and locks your little boy in a room and tells him that if he tells anyone they won't believe him and will just say he's being dirty and punish him?if we are honest with our daughters about their bodies and how to understand and care for them, do you honestly think that they are going to decide to put more things inside themselves? as the proud owner of a vagina, let me tell you they have enough problems without putting dirty things in them. if we tell them where disease comes from and where babies come from do you really think this will weaken them against the advances of brad rottencrotch captain of the football team?the important thing is that if the majority of americans don't have your reservations, then you have the responsibility to raise your children outside of the public sphere. you don't get to pick and choose the taxes you pay. you don't pay taxes to support abortion and gay marriage liscences, you pay taxes to support the government as a duty of citizenship and/or the right to live here and benefit from the government. vote all you want. but, constitutionally, the government has a vested interest in the health of the citizenry. an std infested, teen pregnant citizenry is a useless citizenry. and we have the responsibility to prevent it. your method of sexual oppression has proven ineffective. now it's time to try it our way.

no. children make responsible decisions when they have all the relevant information. sure they make mistakes, but generally they make responsible decisions.they're not monkeys you know.
