    And how do you stop it?

    But I think more tellingly is the back peddling once it was realised that in this case we have to include men

    I'm guessing you won't hear many advocates of locking up men who are reckless with their sperm.

    What about fathers smoking around a pregnant woman or a child?

    That is just as bad. Second hand smoking kills. I don't smoke or drink so I am doing right in that area. As a father I don't take chances with my family.

    What about a guy smoking on the street when a pregnant woman walks by? Summary arrest? How politically correct do you want to force Americans to become?

    There are very large entrenched pro life entities that spend tons of money on Republicans.

    WTF was that supposed to mean? You may believe in this "heaven" thing but I don't and I sure don't know what it has to do with abortion or laws or rights or why Republicans claim they're pro-LIFE..


    Was there a point?

    Well, Republicans often DO believe in Heaven, and this is one reason why they would therefore be pro-life (i.e. how would you like to look upon the faces of your abortions for eternity). Of course godless feminists disagree.

    :) I would think they'd be thanking me for letting them go directly to heaven ! Isn't that the goal of believers ??

    They'd thank me for saving them from a life of possible pain and hardship! They got a "Go Directly To Heaven Card"" !!!!

    Of course people who don't believe in heaven would disagree...(shrug)


    Now, convince me that all Republican Pro-"Lifers" are going to heaven ….LOL!


    And why would someone that's considered a "murderer" by "Pro-Life" standards make it into heaven ??


    Gee, lots of holes in your narrative...:)

    Maybe she repented?

    Anyway, there's a good liklihood God will be more merciful to her than she was towards her fetuses.

    So believers believe that no matter what you do in life all you have to do is say you're sorry and ya get a free pass? Wow, what a scam...

    Religions that believe that people get their souls at conception. Such as many forms of Christianity.

    You could make the same argument anytime someone slays the innocent. Not a convincing argument.

    "A life of possible pain and hardship" Again, you could make that argument for killing ANYONE, born or not. Again, not convincing.

    Why? That is irrelevant.


    Repentance and forgiveness. Jeez, have you ever heard of Christianity?


    Nope, just holes in your cognition.

    I'm sure she will be in terrible anguish when she is brought to and confronted with the full realization of what she's done.

    :) It was YOU who brought up the scenario....and you're correct, you could make it about anyone who is killed...

    So you didn't have a point to start with ! :)

    Uh, it would be you whop had to do the convincing, YOU brought it up :)



    So having an abortion isn't so bad afterall :)

    How can you be sure? Where's your proof? Oh, that's right , you don't have any :)

    BTW, What has "she" done ?...she had a medical procedure...(shrug)

    ..and anguish in heaven? I thought it was all fluffy clouds and happiness ….and if she made it to heaven abortion can't be all that bad to your god...:)

    No, not anyone who was killed. Only the innocent. So yeah, the picture could have been of a murderer facing the innocent people he/she murdered for eternity. How is that better, exactly? 8)

    No, the argument about possible pain and suffering was yours. And it was a bad argument. If you don't think so, kill someone, and try telling the jury that you were just preventing their hypothetical future suffering. 8)

    Just because evil deeds may be forgiven does not mean that they aren't evil deeds. 8)


    BTW, your transparent attempt to bait me with your gratuitous smileys into making a reportable post is not going to work. 8)

    Your naked children photo in post 123 failed to make a point about anything relevant to abortion and Repubs and now you appear to feel it's my fault and I have to be the one defending what was said! :)

    Nope.

    I should specify. I'm against ending innocent human life.

    That's not a contradiction. I know nothing about tiling floors. However if the person tiling my floor seems to do a good job, then I have nothing against him tiling my floor. Same with maternity leave. On surface level, I really don't see an issue with it. All I know is the expectant mother at a certain point in her pregnancy takes paid time off so that she can take care of her unborn child. I see nothing wrong or otherwise need fixing.

    Here is the thing. Abortion has been practiced for eons. It is a right that predated the US Consitution.

    the right is that the state shall not interfere with that decision.

    There has never been anytime in which the unborn child had rights.

    In fact in early societies the woman was allowed infanticide as it was on her to regulate her family.

    the males had very little to do with child rearing. Male child rearing, couples and co-parenting is a very modern ideal.
