The Up and Down (left or right?) of Morality.Follow

No, I think more of society has decided it's an ok method to deal with unwanted pregnancies than hasn't. Which is why millions of abortions happen - legally, every year.

We don't encourage drinking to unconsciousness alone because of morality, we discourage it because it's highly likely that the consequences of such on going behavior will become detrimental to an individual, a family, a community etc.

Abortions not so much. In fact I dont' know a single abortionaholic who's life has spun out of control because of abortion abuse.

I will assume that you haven't seen this..

Consider who is being responded to.

I do my best to dislike both sides equally, it doesn't always happen, but they do give me lots of reasons. Practical solutions and compromise are big things to me, which likely adds to the disillusionment. I'm a geek about efficiency, so lots about government can get under my skin at times. Still I can't subscribe to the notion that it's inherently evil, or whatever the other side says about it. We work best when we come togeather. Ignorance is bad, and democracy works better on a small scale. As much as possible give people the leeway to run their lives as they see fit, even if you disagree with how they're doing it.

Democrats do bad things, Republicans do bad things, people in those other wannabe political parties do bad things. I hear people in general do bad things too, but they don't make the news so much so I can't be sure. Liberal media bias I'd imagine.

Two last thoughts:

1) There's not a principal out there that's worth more than a person.

2) Anyone who's politically savvy enough to get elected isn't the kind of person I'd want to vote for.

I never met a person, pro life or pro choice, who thought the act of getting an abortion was a good thing.

I asked approximately 200 million US citizens. Each person was connected to a lie detector test. All responses not from the lie detector was discarded. Responses varied in support or against abortion, but not one single citizen responded that the act of abortion was a good thing to do.


I apologize if you thought that my personal experiences were representative of all of society.

What part of my statement came off as scientific? You should apologize for the inability to differentiate experience from science. Else, you wouldn't have expected scientific relevancy, because, no amount of experience can replace science.

I'm not quite sure what part of that you didn't understand. No amount of common personal experience has any relevance in proving anything at a national level. See, this is a DISCUSSION board..We DISCUSS things. The intent wasn't to PROVE anything true or false with my statement, but DISCUSS my experience in comparison with others. The expected responses are "I've met some people who thought abortion was cool" or "I haven't met anyone either has thought abortion was cool". After doing so, people DISCUSS their personal experiences on a DISCUSSION board.

Your inability to understand this basic concept is at no fault of mine.

You still haven't answered the question about what you think that what you said struck me as scientific and where I claimed it was scientific? You are avoiding the question like always.

please refer to post 46!

why can't you just admit that your logic was flawed? I will be waiting here with a gotcha question when you finally admit you are wrong.

That is a quote from you, in a PM to me.

Well, you have killed the joke so terribly, I will just walk away.
