Absurd.

How about you just start teaching couples to not get pregnant, if they don't want to have a baby?


Is that too much to ask - even from YOU?

How do you spell HYPOCRISY?
Did I say that I tried to stop anything?

I simply said that their actions speak for themselves. These people do not care about children.

I'd say you're dead wrong.

They allowed their children to be born - and are caring for them.


That's a far-crying from killing unborn babies.

Viability is a bogus argument. The fact that a "fetus" cannot survive independently has no bearing on whether he/she is alive or not.

Exactly.

My 98-year old grandmother cannot survive without help and care. Does that mean she should just be killed and torn to pieces, like people do with unborn babies?

Nobody is arguing if the fetus is alive or not. Just because it is alive doesn't mean a mother should be forced to let it develop to full term.

Unless of course you are arguing that no medical procedures should be given to anyone since it is against the will of God. That makes as much sense as your argument that women shouldn't be allowed to decide over their own bodies.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

The example was DESIGNED to be absurd.

The fact is that you would force someone else to do something that you CAN'T.

And BTW, we already agreed couples should be taught not to get pregnant. I am a BIG proponent of BC.

And people that are pro-choice don't have children and care for them?

Your point was entirely irrelevant.

When you say pro-choice you mean pro-abortion - why try to hide it!

You're absolutely correct.

They just use them for political fodder.

Not to mention, there is a HUGE difference between forced to look at disgusting pictures in 100 degree heat - and INTENTIONALLY go to an area that has been cordoned off for a parade.

In my entire life, I have never been FORCED to attend a parade or been FORCED to stand on the side of the street and watch the floats. Usually, if I am going to attend a parade, I have to park FOREVER from the event and walk miles to get to the parade route and then jostle for a place to watch.

There is no comparison between that and riding down the street and running into children being used a political fodder in a protest exhibition.
