Re: Who is ...
Hey, we live in the same city. Let me come over, stay at your house for nine months, and all the while I'll eat your food, punch you in the stomach, and then forcibly stretch your genitals before I leave! Don't want me there? Fuck you! I'm stayin' and you can't kill me!
​
Oh yeah, and ejecting me from your house will kill me too.

iPod!
You can put that video on your iPod? I thought having porn on mine was cool, but this takes it to a whole new level. Look out fellow bus riders, there's a new thing to be uncomfortable about!!!

Re: Probability
Giving birth is not a punishment for promiscuity, especially for those who are married. Its called "responsibility." Its called "being accountable for your actions."
​
An abortion can also be seen as taking responsibility and being accountable for your actions.

Re: Probability
How about the consequences of abortion?
​
This question hasn't gotten enough attention.
​
I'd like to know more about what you believe the consequences of abortion are.

Too much to talk about in Nem's latest post and, frankly, others are doing better than I. I just wanted to point out this little absurd gem:
​
I assume you are aware that in order to sustain the human race, it is by procreation, which entails pregnancies.
​
I appreciate how those aligned with the Pro-Life movement are always concerned about the all-too real dangers of human extinction...

You can't say, as RAZD did, that babies force themselves upon their mothers when nature is just doing what it does.
​
Yeah, I can't say that as long as women have the right to expel a trespassing fetus from their uterus.
​
Are you going to fault the fetus for doing nothing of its own volition-- either existing or deriving its nutrients from his/her mother?
​
Yes. Just as I fault any mice or cockroaches that get inside my house or any tigers that try to eat me. I don't care what their nature is.

Re: Answering the detractors
I guess I was only referring to normal people who enjoy the simple joys of children and congratulate their friends and family on their pregnancy. My apologies for the confusion.
​
May God continue to let you live in this bubble of your own making, absent any uncertainty and continued normality.
​
For me, a good friend of mine had gotten unintentionally pregnant and she was unsure how she felt about it. I, too, was unsure and told her that I did not know the appropriate sentiment to express ("congratulations" or "that sucks"). She was so relieved that I, too, felt uncertainty when so many others simply mouthed an empty "congratulations" without considering what this pregnancy meant for her.
​
After seeing the repeated response another good friend of mine gets when she tells people she's decided not to have children, my first response to the news of a pregnancy is now, "Why?"
​
And I enjoy the simple joys of children, thank you.

Most people don't open the door and let the mice and cockroaches in just so they can fault them.
​
Yes. And most people don't have sex just to abort a baby. At least not that I'm aware of. Do you know of such people?
