This post conatins what MIGHT be called "adult content"....just to be safe, this is my disclaimer.
| I do not think that abortion should be used for birth control. |
Good...this is a start....
| The laws should be loose enough so those who may need one can really sincerely decide for themselves if an abortion is their best option. |
And they're not? How much more loose would you have them be? This isn't 1922, dabe; abortion is legal now.
| I've know women who have agonized over their pregnancies, and some have opted for the abortion. It was their heart felt and deep decision. It should not be dictated by some dumb suits who never ever have to go through this kind of decision. |
I've known women who agonized over their pregnancies, too, and decided to abort them. Know what happened? Every year when their due date rolls around, they get depressed and cry. I've known several women who had this same experience. And I might point out that there are plenty of women who are anti-abortion, too, not just the "dumb suits" you refer to.
| It astounds me that the dumbasses who want to criminalize abortions are the same dumbasses who want to remove sex education from schools, offer only the proven failure of abstinence only, just because it makes them feel warm and fuzzy, and deny women birth control, and they want to make it hard, if not impossible for teens to get condoms. All of these shortsighted warm fuzzies only result in more unwanted pregnancies, for which they then want to criminalize abortions. What a bunch of hypocritical morons. |
Abortion will never again be illegal....that Genie is long out of its bottle. The whole idea now is to convince people, kids especially (and I mean KIDS, too....I mean, the last thing anyone wants to see is as pregnant 11-year-old,and that does happen) that abstinence is the best way to go (which rarely, if ever, works). Barring that, they should use protection. Protection from pregnancy can also mean protection from STDs....so, we have to have sex education in schools to show them why they need to use that protection. I, for one, do not advocate any of the things you accuse us righties of....I think abortion should be an option, just not for birth control (you know..."oops...well, time to go to the doctor......again). Sex ed is an important component of biology, so you can't bar it.
I think some people, when they hear "Sex Ed" they still think the kids are being taught how to HAVE sex, as stupid as that might sound ("Now that it's stiff, Jimmy, go on and put on your condom. Okay...well done. Now Janie...spread your thighs and smile alluringly at Jimmy while pulling gently at your hair. Great! Now, Jimmy...go ahead and insert your Thingy into Janie's Hoo-ha....thaaaaat's right. Now, squeeze her right nipple, ever-so gently...gooooood..... now kiss her...use just a little tongue...great, great.....no, no biting....unless, of course, the other persons likes it...next week we'll learn about foreplay.")
I don't think it's the place of the schools to be handing out condoms, though. Let the Gynos and free clinics do that. That's their place, not the place where Jimmy and Janie are supposed to be learning how to be responsible people and citizens (of course, our hallowed halls absolved themselves of that little nugget a long time ago, so I can see why some of you might think it's okay). My tax dollars go to pay for books and educational equipment, and I wouldn't want my kids getting condoms there, too. Sorry, that's how I feel.
| This is not a utopia. It never will be. So, get over the fact that teens and others will get themselves pregnant. Stop trying to return us back to the Victorian Era. As an aside, I think more porn novels were written during that era, as a result of the sexual repression that was rampant throughout society then. In other words, the more you fight it, the worse it becomes. You, drguy, drmiler, doggydoo, etc. cannot stop it. All you can do is force it into back alleys, thereby maiming and killing the women instead. But, like good conservatives, your thinking really is "life begins at conception and ends at birth." Otherwise, you wouldn't be forcing women into these dangerous positions, wouldn't be advocating for the death penalty, wouldn't be sending soldiers into battle to kill or be killed, or just be killed anyway. |
But the Lefties think it CAN be, if only we'd just let the government run everything for us. Why do you think they keep using the courts rather than the electorate to get their laws passed (See Roe v. Wade if want a reference on this practice)?
Life is sacred to me, dabe, from birth to death, and even beyond...and that's why I support sending strong, armed troops to liberate a nation governed by a tyrant, where life is cheap and thousands of mass graves, filled not with the bodies of foreign enemies, but rather domestic ones, litter the country. Life is sacred, dabe, and the people living it deserve to be free and secure.
You know, disparage the past and the "Victorian Era" all you want to, dabe, but people had respect for themselves and others in that past, a thing they sure as hell lack today. What looks, to me, at least, to have preciptated that erosion of respect? I'll tell you, dabe: all the feel-good, open-minded, "It's-your-thing-do-what-you-wanna-do" liberal ideals that our society has allowed to be inflicted upon us by myopic lefties like you, who want to drag us into your way of living and thinking whether we want it or not. Who's the hypocrite?
Those ideals you champion have eroded our moral base and left us nearly directionless in a way we haven't been in our entire history. Thanks for that, dabe, and all you liberal whackos out there. Thanks a lot.
