That Muslims want all non Muslims dead is dead wrong. It's a bit of misinformation used by those who cherry pick the Quran just like they do the Bible, to justify their beliefs. Jihadists want all non Muslims dead, but they are no more representative of Muslims than the extreme zealots are of...

I'm not saying she should be forced to carry the baby to term, regardless of why she got pregnant. I'm just saying let's not pretend that aborting an unwanted pregnancy is somehow the responsibile thing to do, because in the overwhelming majority of cases getting an abortion is avoiding...

"Cavalier"? You have deliberately misrepresented my words. No woman using contraceptives is cavalier about her body, health, or future - that's precisely why she prefers to choose if and when to reproduce. A "good doctor with a proper workup" is much more than many of us ever get to see...

Arguments that equate a fetus with a person [defined as one in possession of a date of birth] make as much sense as equating an acorn with an oak tree. If anti abortion people believe a fetus is a person, why don't they celebrate the child's date of conception, rather than the date of birth...

Kudos for looking them up - and for declining to join them. As was said before, non household teams have a really high failure rate, but it's a learning experience that can be invaluable. Boredom, whether while driving or waiting, is something you will have to find your own way to handle. I...

I don't have a clue what you're talking about - and my earlier [spam] comment was because you don't either. :rolleyes:

You said it: "place the blame and responsibility everywhere except with the women" - what about placing half of it with the men who are equally at fault? We talk about pregnancy as if the woman did it all by herself! Sure, you'll say the men should be responsible too, [but only when someone...

A history of depression can be concealed due to the privacy of medical records. Being fired for a positive drug test doesn't indicate drug use prior to being hired, and those who expect to be drug tested prior to a job offer can simply refrain for whatever time period is required to pass the...

It would be wise to find out which it is before posting it. Do some research - or were you expecting someone else to do it for you? :spam:

Given the recent greeting of Obama to Oklahoma with Confederate flags, I'd say Turtle's version is spot on. And I think the statue should be removed [or screened from view] if only because it is a hideous example of "art". Both horse and rider look absolutely batcrap insane. Some 'tribute', lol.

I don't think I implied it's one of the main reasons, just that it happens. Because some seem to think women use abortion as a form of contraception, which doesn't seem even remotely reasonable to me. Sure, you can find the odd moron who claims to do it, but that's not representative of the...

Describing an American citizen with mental problems an "enemy" would be a mistake of enormous proportions.

You're "pretty sure" about a lot of things that turn out to be hogwash. Obama didn't lower the flag for Whitney Houston - Governor Christie did that. In NJ, because she was from NJ. Obama offered the condolences of the entire country to the grieving families of those killed in Chattanooga...

When a pregnancy is the result of a failure of contraceptives, is that really a "consequence" that a woman should accept? Nobody said anything about "forthright, gracious, and magnanimous" [?!] but reasonable is a good goal. It doesn't seem reasonable to require a woman to go through with a...

The waiting period also doubles the time a woman is required to take off work and the distance she must travel. The latter is a huge factor, when so many clinics have been closed by ludicrous requirements [docs needing admitting privileges at a local hospital, buildings altered to conform with...

They're also funded to care for maternal health [all over the world, not just in the US], and abortion takes away from that. What they are doing is total women's health, and contraception and abortion and maternal care are all components, each being appropriate at different times - often for the...

That's the popular thing to say on many talk radio shows, but what does it have to do with abortion? Most women are attempting to be responsible, by not bringing an unwanted child into the world. Most were also trying to be responsible in preventing a pregnancy, but people aren't perfect, and...

In using an independent contractor, she was ahead of her time, you know. ;)

Why would the Bixby Center have a "vested interest in marginalizing the consequences of abortion"? They also work to improve maternal health, so it's not just a pro abortion ideology on their part. And one important fact: abortion, like rape, is a subject on which women feel a great deal of...
