Abortion, the human rights issue of our day
the latest right wing talking point coming from the great state of Indiana where state rep Mike Carmel made the subject statement as the state legislature mulls over forcing doctors to tell those seeking abortion that life begins at conception.

Forcing a doctor to share an opinion as medical fact. There exists a committee to rangle over the specifics and all four members of the committee are male.

Doesn't life begin when the young lad takes a peak inside his Dad's Penthouse and he gets that stirring in his loins? I think he should be forced to freeze his stained skivvies just to be on the safe side. Yes "conservatives" you are lunatics and this is not a human rights issue.

1. It's a human rights issue to women
It's the basic, simple right to self defense.

2. I agree
but that's not the party the honorable representative was referring to. "Conservatives" don't give a fuck about the mother. They don't give a fuck about anyone who has been born.

3. fairly certain
That life begins at birth. Bible says Adam became alive when "god breathed life into him," aka took him first breath. Not when he was made out of the clay. Pretty sure you don't hear that in church.

4. Surely you jest
You mean there is something in the bible which contradicts what comes from the pulpit. It must be a one time thing.

5. For the sake of argument, I'm going to assume
that you're serious. Let me say first of all: yuck. Pro-lifers or forced birthers are whatever you want to call them loonily insist that life begins the instant that pushy little sperm hits the egg. The other side of the coin is the opinion that you've expressed. The truth lies somewhere between. There's a vast differerence between a clump of cells and a fetus that's 6 or 7 months. I, for one, am totally against third term abortions except for health/lfe or the woman and severe fetal abnormality. And that's why most late term abortions are done.

8. Abortion IS a human rights issue---
but they have the "human" part of this confused--the "human" in question, imo, is the woman.

9. Means Testing for Sperm
Through DNA testing, the fathers can be unidentified, but we all know that fathers often unable or unwilling to raise their offspring. Therefore, we need to introduce the Means Testing for Sperm Act. All young males in South Dakota need to be a) added to a DNA database and b) means tested before they stray beyond their first Penthouse. If women are going to be required to carry embryos to term, then thier male partners, not taxpayers, should be required to support the babies they sired. We need to know that only men with the means to raise these babies are able to impregnate, and thusmen who fail means testing should be forced to have vasectomies.
:crazy:
