Defending the Truth

...how about a statewide issue prohibiting divorce? The big "D" devastates the young children of divorce for life and often can mess up their own chances for a happy marriage later in life. Is this something the moral values proponents will support?

Comparing divorce with elective abortion is comparing apples with billygoats.

well actually not really. The common thread is the right to choose. Parents have the right to choose to separate, regardless of the effect on the child. Likewise a potential parent should have the right to choose whether she wants a child or not.

This is not a matter of universal right or wrong. We all know that a divorce is a crappy thing. But it is left up to the couple involved whether they wanna make this crappy choice or not. This is because we accept their right to evaluate which is the lesser of two evils.

Likewise i think this acceptance should be lent to parents who want an abortion too. Only the concerned party is capable of evaluating whether an abortion is a better or worse choice than having the child.

Note: I would prefer a world with no divorce and no abortion. Both are lousy, horrible, traumatic, and downright miserable things to go through. But whoever goes through them or not should be allowed to choose their path without outside interference.. outside guidance yes.. but not outside interference

Legalized divorce was one of the major steps forward for feminists in America. Banning divorce infringes on the persuit of happiness. Sometimes, marriage just doesn't work out.

Yeah, and sometimes pregnancy just doesn't work out.

Too bad for the baby that gets killed in the process.

I guess it sucks to have no voice in the matter of whether or not you're going to be murdered.

Well over 95% of all abortions are nothing more than post-conception birth-control.

Somebody who could have NOT gotten pregnant, DID get pregnant - and rather than be mature and see the consequences through, that person(s) chooses to take the easy way out and murder a pre-born baby.

So these are 4 chickens being murdered Jefferson?





And here I thought that they were 4 EGGS.

99.99% of all eggs marketed through grocery stores are NOT fertilized. And even eggs laid by hens that have been with roosters are not fertilized if they're removed from the nest within 48 hours.

Nice try, but I'd strongly suggest you know what you're talking about before you post something like that. Of course, if you want to continue this discussion - where you're comparing chickens to human beings, you're welcome to do just that.

fertilized or not, you consider them chickens with your abortion argument. they are eggs.

My wife is "filled" with "eggs". But she has only been pregnant 3 times.

Chickens lay eggs. Eggs are necessarily not chickens.

Having a hard time with Biology 101, Hev?



...or perhaps you just need to quietly back away from your "chicken & egg" debacle.
