A larger proportion of the parents who want to adopt are white


Probably not. A larger proportion of the parents who can afford to? Yes. Fortunately for me, I impregnate women in mine and the 4 adjacent counties every time I yawn, so this is not an issue I'll have to contend with.

Kitten, if I didn't cover my mouth when I exhaled, cape cod would fall off into the ocean from all the extra weight of the new embryos. That said, I can whistle inhaling or exhaling if you know what I mean. What other creepy sounding nonsense things can I sneak in here. Buttery feet lance precipitously towards ecstasy. Yes. That will do nicely.

On top of this, abortion is a cop out to the personal responsibilty of having sex when you don't want to have children. Yes, there are contraceptives. And yes, everybody who takes them has information available that lets them know the contraception isn't 100% effective.


Why is abortion not a valid method of contraception in the first place? What's bad about it, if not for the death of the foetus? If it is a valid method, then contraception is wholly effective at preventing childbirth, and it is not irresponsible to have sex without wanting children.

By banning abortion, you could artificially create a set of circumstances that make it irresponsible to have sex without wanting a child. But 'it's irresponsible to have sex without wanting a child' would not justify bringing that state about. You need an argument for why America is a better country if you change the law to induce conditions that make it irresponsible to have sex without wanting a child.

Your argument seems rather circular.

I think that most people would say you just answered your own question. The death of a fetus that would otherwise develop into a human is what's bad about it and what differentiates it from preventative methods of contraception.

Quote:

If we eliminate the moral implications of our actions, then a whole lot of effective means can be opened up. That isn't necessarily a good thing. We could dramatically decrease the cost of health care if we just killed anyone over the age of 65. They're all retired anyway, right? Off to the Carousel! Same with any handicapped person. Just kill them off. Think how much better the world would be!

Quote:

And by banning the killing of anyone who is old or handicapped, we artificially create a set of circumstances that make it irresponsible to grow old, or take risks which might result in being disabled. I'm sorry, but the idea that we can make an irresponsible act appear responsible simply by not preventing the use of arguably immoral act to "clean up" the problem we created is just insane.

It's as nutty as saying we could eliminate theft by just legalizing it. If we just make it legal for people to steal stuff from others, then there's no crime if/when they do, so problem solved! Or we can just eliminate all private property and give everyone what they need, and then there will be nothing to steal. Oh wait! That's what some people actually do want to do, so maybe that's not such a great example. It's nutty anyway. You're not solving problems, you're creating worse ones.

Quote:

Um... Because America is a better country if our laws do place limits on behavior which a majority of the population believes is wrong? Until you can get 99% of the population to agree that abortion is perfectly moral right up to the moment of birth we must have laws which restrict to some degree the act of abortion. We can argue about where those limits should apply and how they should be applied, but there clearly must be some.

This is not an all or nothing issue. It's a matter of degrees. Not everyone thinks that abortion should be banned entirely. Not everyone believes that abortion should be allowed up to the moment of birth. Thus, our laws and legal restrictions really should fall somewhere in between those end points. And as long as that is true, we are left with the issue of irresponsible sex you started with.

I don't think the majority of the men understand abortions, and a good minority of women don't either. Which is sad, because it means there are women out there who are still ignorant of their own plumbing and probably believe they bleed once a month because Eve took a bite out of an apple.

Unfertilized eggs are no more sacred than sperm, other than a woman not having as many good ones as she gets older (which does in fact also hit men, albeit at a later age, and has been implicated in the uptick in autism as a possible contributing factor.)

And a fertilized egg is just a blob of cells for the first few days, fraught with peril. Those early cell divisions are super critical and one wrong DNA transcription means the whole thing is scrapped. There is no Six Sigma in baby making; it is estimated that one third of blastocytes and embryos are unviable and are terminated naturally by the body.

God aborts more babies than any human being.

8.For me, it's about terminating a thinking human being. Probably once the theoretical foetus has developed a brainstem and cranial matter, I would probably have a problem with someone arbritrarially killing it.
15. I believe so, mainly due to the security implications. The crime empire you know and can find because they are tied to a specific location to grow a specific crop is going to be brutal and vicious, but easier to find and eliminate. Widespread legalization would probably lead to a less violent criminal enterprise, or maybe "less visible" at any rate, but also one that is more pervasive and harder to eliminate.
edit: forgot 16.
16. To be honest, none of the ones who ran did. Maybe Matt Christie if he had ran, Gingrich had too much bad history, though I think if he magically got the nomination he might have a better shot than Romney just because of having more experiance in upper echelon politics. 0+ .000000001 is still almost zero though. Santorum could have taken it if he had kept his mouth shut just based on the "anyone but Mitt" factor. Ron Paul is insane, so he's out. Mccain is too old, he couldn't have taken it even if he had ran. Palin is also insane. Maybe one of the governors or senetors out there. Hell, a decent famous person with little prior political experiance willing to give it a shot probably could have made more headway than Mitt will.

While the shot at me was obvious, The apperent fact that you apperently feel the average couple is incapable of figuring out basic birth control practices is a rather pessimistic worldview. I don't buy the "religion prohibits contraceptives" argument because those same religions prohibit abortions too. For the rest of them, if they want to play, be prepared to pay the price or take measures to prevent it. I'm a firm believer in government funding to remove the breeding capability of anyone who requests it or for stupid people. If you are too dumb to figure out how not to make a baby while entertaining yourselves if you don't want one, you probably fall into the latter category. I definitly feel that Women (or men for that matter too) shouldn't have unprotected sex for pleasure unless they want a baby. There are many temporary and permanent options to prevent pregnancy, and the simplest ones are even free...

I don't think this is the case, if only because there isn't a pervasive criminal element involved in alcohol sales that needs to be eliminated. You'd have to provide some reasoning here, as I am unconvinced.

Just to be clear, it's not just your stance on abortion that makes your post scream "virgin!". It's all the other stupid stuff too, like no marital benefits for anyone because single people get screwed, and the several paragraphs about how we should spend more money on outer space and airplanes that make it apparent that there is very little room left for a ****** in the wacky world of Kaolian.

Here's the thing though; any candidate with the tools and resources to make an effective push for the presidency would be better off doing it in 2016. It's a much easier field to fight on. Plus, most of the established contestants received their requisite 'not-bribes' from the current administration to not run this year.

8. If most (ie. non-late term) abortions were performed prior to any real development of cranial tissue and organ growth, would you still be against them, conceptually? I ask this, because most are performed prior to this point. Anything in the first trimester is basically just a cellular mass, 2nd has appearance of form, but still nothing really concrete, and 3rd clearly has vital working components. Based on this, would you revise your position to something more akin to putting a prohibition on abortions performed after say, somewhere in the 12-18 weeks range (Which still allows abortions in the vast majority of current cases, but would curb the abuse potential)?

15. Fighting organized crime is expensive, it's like fighting Terrorism (which is coincidentally heavily supported by organized drug crime), I don't think a plan which fails to recognize other nations sovereignty would hold water for a host of reasons, not the least of which is that it would cost tens of trillions of USD to attempt to exert an imperialistic mandate. It's just not possible to go to a territorial war for this reason.

I also don't see the necessity of their being a criminal element tied to the sale and production of (legal) drug goods. There are really quite a few cases where using less of a broad based solution to say "ending all drug use in the USA" would allow them to focusing on something more realistic.

So you'd prefer if they'd lie to you(Well, women in general) about how they interpret the world, and continue to vote for people like our buddy Rick? Well, I guess that's a valid stance, if not entirely productive at changing social mores.
