You said it twice? Did i miss something?
But yeah, good ... just wanted to make sure that we're in the same "camp".
Haven't watched todays Real Time yet, but its on my DVR. I'll prolly smoke a joint and watch it before knocking out. Will chime in on it tomorrow.
Are you ok man? You didn't take your meds this morning?dirty bitch answer my question
I would be very disappointed in America if places like Planned Parenthood stops getting funded. Choice is a huge part of this country and it's sad that there are morons trying to take that away from others.
I've never heard that one before.
Here's a question for ya - How come rep. have such a easy time killing all over the world and turning a cold shoulder to kids in need, but get so upset about abotion?
Actually, it remains a "fetus" until it's born. The term "fetus" is used to designate a relatively arbitrary point at which the embryo looks vaguely human, and it is used until birth.
Everyone seems very concerned with when conception occurs, but no one asked what the value of conception is. If it's likely that the fetus poses a threat to its mother, or that it will be poorly cared for as a baby and will likely have a shit life, then the "responsible" thing to do would be to get rid of it. No one's saying that abortions are great, healthy, and that everyone should get them; but responsibility has to lie on both sides - parents but also the society that pressures them.
We put so much responsibility on the individuals involved: you fucked (up), you got pregnant, now have the damn child and take care of it. Even if these people may not have the means to take care of it. There's one thing people of all classes can keep doing to entertain themselves, and that's fuck. If we want to preach abstinence to them then we might as well abort the entire conversation.
Long story short, conception really plays no logical role in the conversation. It might be a "fact," but it becomes a perspective as soon as it enters into this conversation. The logic of the abortion debate cannot be deduced from the fact of fertilization. It's a cultural matter, and its logic permeates cultural attitudes and factors.
blah blah blah
There’s a saying common in education circles: Don’t teach students what to think; teach them how to think. The idea goes back at least as far as Socrates. Today, what we call the Socratic method is a way of teaching that fosters critical thinking, in part by encouraging students to question their own unexamined beliefs, as well as the received wisdom of those around them. Such questioning sometimes leads to discomfort, and even to anger, on the way to understanding.
But vindictive protectiveness teaches students to think in a very different way. It prepares them poorly for professional life, which often demands intellectual engagement with people and ideas one might find uncongenial or wrong. The harm may be more immediate, too. A campus culture devoted to policing speech and punishing speakers is likely to engender patterns of thought that are surprisingly similar to those long identified by cognitive behavioral therapists as causes of depression and anxiety. The new protectiveness may be teaching students to think pathologically.

There are plenty of other healtchcare centers that provide for women. Close to a ten-thousand actually. No one is lobbying to close them. Planned Parenthood has to go though. Did you not watch those videos where they were talking about how to crush the babies heads to keep all the organs in tact? Talking and negotiating prices for parts and organs. How can you support a clinic that harvests and sells the body parts of unborn children?
And it's not just men who have something to say about this. I can post pictures of hundreds and thousands of women rallying against planned parenthood AND abortion. The main person that is leading this fight to close planned parenthood is actually a woman(Sen. Joni Ernst). You should check out the videos i posted on the last page.
