To be fair, we're talking about Texas now. Didn't they actually do a pretty solid job of trying to put their resources towards protecting the border, but they got shut down by the feds?
I think a lot of people get caught up in a false duality. They see nutcases going absolutely bananas, protesting against Israel, saying that Palestine is being oppressed, Hamas is justified in their attacks, and a whole lot of other ludicrous claims. So to disassociate themselves from such...
I'm a bit of a grammar nazi myself, I have to admit, but for some funny reason #2 (Seen/saw, e.g., I seen a deer up yonder the other day) doesn't really bother me so much. Maybe its because I've been around lots of folks who speak that way, and they all know it ain't grammatically correct, they...
Got it. :thumbsup:
I suppose even I can discern a degree of moral difference between a D&C abortion versus a misoprostol-only induced abortion. To me, it's about the same difference as dismembering a newborn, vs. leaving the newborn to die in the woods. Both immoral, but I'll admit a degree...
Just because I find the whole debate over the exact line of where failure to provide sustenance to another's life switches over to murder, and because I haven't made enough posts in a row already, I have a hypothetical scenario I'd like to ask about, on the off chance that any of my...
Let me try to make this clear: I am not advocating that we vote only for politicians who support 100%, total abortion bans this fall. I am not advocating that we ignore the political landscape.
I am merely trying to do exactly what you say: change hearts and minds. If you recall, there was...
Again, I don't deny this: from a political standpoint, yes, my position is foolish and non-viable.
Let me clarify. I don't want either a C-section or an adoption to be imposed on her by the state. I merely offered those two things as viable alternatives to killing the baby outright. If she...
So we're getting stuck on terminology again.
For me, when I talk about rights, it is my understanding that properly speaking, all true, innate human rights are negative. In other words, if it's something that others have to provide for you, like healthcare or voting, those aren't really human...
Let me just make sure I'm understanding correctly: Have you changed your position?
If your position is just that a mother can remove consent for the child to be in her body, and, without directly killing the child, seek to deliberately start the process of expelling the child from her body...
Well, if that's really your position, then I retract my above statement about you being illogical.
I just don't think you realize where this line of thinking ends up. Or perhaps you have, and you're just fine with seeing society go places that I am horrified of. I'm not sure which.
Once...
