Yes, you have every right to discuss it and to have a say in the decision, but when it comes right down to it, you can watch a woman go through that experience, but you will never experience it yourself.

You're effectively debating something that you will never, ever go through. It's interesting, that's all, to hear your viewpoints, considering you will never be pregnant.

Like I said I am not anti-abortion. I just think it should not be used as widely as it is now. I think more about the children than the woman's point of view to be honest.

I absolutely love how this thread has gone through the gambit of emotions

from protesting GW's innaugeration to abortion

This is such a warm and fuzzy feeling

Yesshir. Warm and fuzzy, just like Chimpy himself.

Just a hunch... if men got pregnant, abortion rights would be defined in the Constitution.

Isn't it? I think Moby did it on purpose. All you got to do is say the A word for a nice debate to break out.

Exactly!!

I understand what you are trying to say, babyx, but those statements are ignorant as hell. Have you ever had an abortion? A girlfriend of mine and I had to make that decision once, and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about and regret it. To assume that the male does not go through any emotion during a pregnancy or abortion is just plain rediculous. I thought you were smarter than that.

And before you start in with the "well most males..." argument, I would venture a guess that there are just as many females that feel the same ay about it. As some have said here already, they use it like birth control.

I was about to say I didn't start it...but I guess in this one, I did.

Whistle. (Time out)

Commercial break.

Have at it.

It's the smoker's fault. It's always the smokers.

Especially if he's a Christian.

Christian smokers. Assholes.

Christian white smokers specifically.

Sweet, we finally got a thread in the ALR.

Good question

Hmmm, no "why yes, I have adopted an unwanted child from a poor woman who was raped by her father" answers

I wonder why...all talk as usual from the peanut gallery.

" You must conform or else burn in HELL you baby killers"

Hypocrites

Sorry dude but I dont buy it for a second

Im sorry your wife got punched at a peace protest. But I don't buy that story for a second. a 60 year old rich woman doesnt go around starting fist fights. It just doesnt happen. There is more to the story there has to be. BUT since I know that noone ever gets the full story unless they are there Im gonna let this drop by saying If this fur clad lady ever reads this by some small miracle

Thanks for representing the Republican party you Ass.

Xterrapin

At least your passionate about your cause even though I think your nuts I at least admire your Passion about being nuts.

Your a pathetic excuse of a man, along with a sore loser. But that's ok, I hope you have fun living a pessimistic life riddled with flawed ideologies, and double standards.

I wouldnt buy it if I didnt see it myself, so I know what ya mean.
Thanks for the kind words nontheless.

Vietnam being a prime example.

The protests weren't detrimental to our troops in Vietnam. The Pentagon was. The Pentagon ...coughcoughMcNamaracoughcough... wouldn't let the troops do their job. Micromanaging at it's worst ...coughcoughRumsfeldcoughcough...

I don't know how the D.C. cops are, but where I come from, the cops love nothing more than taking rich people to jail, especially those with attitudes. In the jail, we love having them even more. Perhaps I'm a sick twisted guy, but I love nothing more than breaking someone's spirit, especially the high and mighty. Ever seen a guy go from wearing a tuxedo to jail scrubs? Even more fun seeing the expression on his face when you toss the tux into a garment bag with his shoes on top of it. This was only really reserved for people that were assholes. You know, the "I pay your salary" types. Women are generally more fun - they don't deal well with the humiliation of being arrested.
Editted to add: I have to agree with Moby on this one. The biggest drain on morale is being reined in under the guise of "not sinking to their level". If you are a grunt, you are already living at there level and want nothing more than to give it back. I'm not so sure Sec Def is the one holding us back though. As far as protestors, we laugh them off. They just bitch and complain and never actually do anything. Totally ineffective.

Sorry folks, but having spent 13 months on the ground in Viet Nam, "The protests were detrimental to our troops in Vietnam", it lowered moral and was especially wonderful when you came home and herds of Pot Heads spit on you and called you a "baby killer".

That shit pisses me off so much. I definatly equate a lot of these jackass protestors today to the vietnam protestors of yesterday. This is the reason that I have a ridiculous hatred of Bob Dillon.

Has anyone coming home fresh from Iraq been called a "baby killer"?

Seriously, I'm curious. Aside from those asshats in Dallas who refused to serve a guy at their convenience store, I mean.

So it was the pentagon calling the troops baby killers? Last time I looked, it was shit bags like John Kerry slandering the troops that gave them a bad name.

BTW: I stopped in a corner store ,owned by Arabs, while in uniform one time and they refused to serve me... gotta love 'em
