A board where everyone thought and felt the same would be boring. So would a society.
I rarely say this but in my opinion you are a detriment to this board and it would be better off without you.
Ignored as you are no longer worth reading.
I agree, I thought better of the moderator.

I don't know how to tell you what you should do. I know how I want to decide my own personal issues.
Really? Using Hitler? Give me a damn break. Neither one of those people are even in the same universe as Hitler.
What an absolutely idiotic thing to even say. Offensive and disgusting.
The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.
Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.
“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. And the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
Before eugenists and others who are laboring for racial betterment can succeed, they must first clear the way for Birth Control. Like the advocates of Birth Control, the eugenists, for instance, are seeking to assist the race toward the elimination of the unfit. Both are seeking a single end but they lay emphasis upon different methods.”
Again I am not. I am not forcing you to have an abortion or anyone, giving a choice who dont view it as murder or anything close to that.
So according to the statistics provided the majority of women having abortions the men involved have left them. Should they be punished for this as well? They have a choice to leave and not have a baby. Monetarily they might be burdened in some cases but how about in other ways?
Actually, deranged and psychotic people typically do feel they're making the world a better place. Take Hitler for example. You could also include the founder of Planned Parenthood in that. You know, the incredibly racist woman who thought it was morally right to kill babies who were disformed, mentally handicapped or even born from sickly parents. She was a real gem of a woman.
you lack morals. and are scum of the earth.
wtf does it have to do with anything?
nobody is forcing you to murder and rob. so is murder and robbing simply okay?
First of all its not murder by any law. Second of all I am I am responding to you saying you are morally opposed to me making a choice to have an abortion. I am not making that choice I am allowing others to make that choice and not forcing you to. You are forcing someone to not have an abortion except in the cases you deem okay but not in other cases. Although rereading your sentence it made no sense so I guess disregard my response to that sentence.
If abortion is murder (which it is not) than there should be 0 cases in which its okay right?
So let's say I believe abortion is murder...and you still don't see it? Maybe I'll share a few Margaret Sanger quotes for you.
Let's also not forget to mention that after making a speach at a KKK rally, she was invited back several times. Now let's look at where the majority of these clinics are located, remember her statements on race and then ask ourselves if that's just a coincidence or not.
so thats how you base your things.
something is good or bad based on if its a law or not?
good to know. end of discussion then!

how about rape
if you are raped you can directly go and take morning after pil. if you are raped abortion shouldn't be the case because you should directly take action go to hospital police and yada yada. by that time it isnt a fetus yet so technically its a lump of cels.
So its not murder if its within a few days? How many days exactly? They can be taken up to 5 days after so is it murder on the 6th day?
Morning after pill is okay for everyone? or just rape victims?
Is it Murder if a non rape victim takes a morning after pill or can anyone take these?
BTW 90% of rape cases are not reported.
