Hmmm. That means we might abort a fetus in one case and abort a human in another. Are we and the scientists smart enough to determine that? Do we have the right? I am not sure we have a choice. Good scientists with high rationality index, good logic and cognitive skills are the best we have in society to make a rational decisions. Probably not smart enough all the same, but sure beats the alternatives. Would you rather be judged by a flippant politician or statism religion zealot make the choice? -- First rule of holes: If you're in one, don't keep digging.

The country faces more important challenges and if the Republican party can not find a more centrist position on women's rights, they run the risk of reelecting the current administration. Think about that. I hope the GOP maintains its prejudice against women, blacks, Latinos, government, and all the other groups it hates. In fact, I hope it adds groups. The last thing this country needs is a GOP administration that is hell-bent on destroying what little is left of the social safety network. Funny, I have not seen that prejudice you talk about. What I have seen is the race card being used by the left. $5 trillion in added debt, failed foreign policy, no jobs or results... speaks for itself. No need to go black or white or Hispanic. If anything the blacks are being appeased too much. Are there not more Hispanics than blacks? Social safety network was squandered a long time ago. If you really give a **** about keeping a house or car, do you worry about making the payments after the repo man calls? Just irrational for you to not see that the debt is gobbling up the social security, Medicare and the like. And if your religious, what does the bible or Koran say about the sins of dishonored debts? -- First rule of holes: If you're in one, don't keep digging.

Of course not...you're a right-wing racist in deep denial about it...this usenet group is full of your kind. Your financial bull**** talk just bores me, so I skip over it. I suspect it bores everyone else, too. I doubt you earn as much as a convenience store assistant manager. |

So if at 7 months, the woman miscarries, you beat her up for murder with the bible in hand? Natural miscarriages occur. My daughter went through one a few months back. Agreed, they do and that is why I brought it up. Lots of reasons a fetus gets aborted that are quit natural. Your tag line is stupid and annoying. And that doesn't start until 20+ weeks or so. Saying a fetus isn't a baby, with no regard to viability, is also annoying. Good way to put it. When the fetus becomes viable as a self sustaining human being, it is then a human. But not before. Self sustaining, like when fetus gets a job and pays his own way, he finally becomes human. Interesting theory. Like most fear driven religious basket cases, you got it wrong and twisted it. But some truth to it. Why should not a parent have exclusive control over children until they they can work and fend on their own provided their intent is good? Can't spank a kid for doing something wrong without a court case because some liberal has their knickers in a twist. Far too many in society meddle in other peoples business without proper cause. But then you do get the opposite extreme where children are being abused. Yet they be good church goers and it be ignored by the people, politicians, judges and police. See the LDS get away with pedophilia and polygamy. Jeffs' cult-sanctioned pedophilia, how long was that going on unchecked? Fact is most of our society is irrational, hypocritical and unjust. Only the illusion of democracy and freedom exists. We worship propaganda and bull**** and most of our species has poor rationality and logic capabilities. -- First rule of holes: If you're in one, don't keep digging.

I'll have to admit to having no problem with 'natural' abortions. In fact, I didn't even know they were under discussion. It is under discussion because in the past, "It is all the womans fault".

Think about that. Wayne, I feel that a fetus which can survive outside the womb is, in fact, a baby. They should, therefore, have the right to life of any other baby, and killing them should be considered, as it is in some cases, murder. The idea that late term abortions should be legal because of rape, incest, 'accident', or whatever is, in my opinion, bull****. Those are times for the 'morning after' pill. That has nothing to do with my religion. The Catholic Church opposes *any* abortion, *any time*, unless it's changed one hell of a lot in the past few years. The Catholic Church also opposes birth control except that which can occur naturally through use of the 'rythm' method. I disagree with the Catholic Church of these issues. So, you can lay all you want on 'religion', but religion has little to do with my opinion. |

Hope this gives you a stroke, Herring, but I agree with you about restricting late term pregnancies, except for the whatever you mentioned. If it is discovered continuing a late term pregnancy presents a significant risk to the life of the pregnant woman, she should be able to terminate that pregnancy. Same with discovery of a seriously damaged fetus, unless you want to contribute substantially to its lifelong care. Now, what hospital will you be taken to, to recover from that stroke? |
