The Right Reverend Bush is at it again by Blackbyrd22006-11-19 12:55:59
  I don't buy the "woman's life at risk" argument by crash_2003-11-06 05:28:35
    Why force a woman to undergo major surgery by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 06:00:22
      So it can grow up and be president someday? by NOLAWitch2003-11-06 06:04:53
        Anti-abortion != religion, fundamentalism. by walkon2003-11-06 06:53:45
          But religion, fundamentalism == anti-abortion. by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 07:09:43
            Then what's the standard? by walkon 2003-11-06 08:33:10
"Fine. Apply that belief to your own body. Have as many deformed babies as you want."

Look at how that reads to the people you're talking to: "Fine, don't kill your deformed children if you want. Just don't try to stop other people from doing so."

If we were talking about killing a deformed 2-year-old, no one would accept your argument. And when you're talking to someone who's anti-abortion, that's exactly equivalent to what you're doing. People oppose abortion because they think life begins before birth. Why should you be able to enshrine in law your belief to the contrary? What's the basic legal or philisophical principle that says we have to presume that your beliefs are correct?

              For a number of reasons. by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 09:17:38
                But... Those reasons would only convice someone by walkon2003-11-06 09:51:33
                  That's not something you're going to find. by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 11:27:32
                    If that standard doesn't exist, by walkon2003-11-06 12:50:46
                      They don't have a place in the public debate by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 14:23:30
                        Are we going in circles? by walkon2003-11-06 14:53:04
                          You're doing the sidestepping. by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 15:23:40
                            OK... by walkon2003-11-06 16:17:06
                              Just in case you check back.... by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 19:07:02
                                And in case *you* do. by walkon2003-11-07 00:39:33
                                Breaking this up.. by thewrongcrowd2003-11-07 07:57:31
