Thread Name: BS: Roe v. Wade: Last Anniversary?
Subject: RE: BS: Roe v. Wade: Last Anniversary?
ProChoice-ers out there I'd like to ask you a question. If it is okay to abort a baby (reason is unimportant, here) at what point does it stop being okay? Is it acceptable to abort at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks? How about after the baby is born? Is it okay to kill it then if it's unwanted? What reasons are acceptable? Am I the only one who think Peter Singer is creepy as heck?
I've heard people bandy about the "killing in self-defense" argument. We have all heard of situations where a killing has occured in self-defense. Most people understand that it occurs occasionally. Do you suggest that because killing in self-defense is legal, that all killing should be legal? I don't believe you think that any more than I do.
You suggest there is a disconnect between someone who is against abortion and but will not punish someone who killed in self-defense. I would suggest that there is a disconnect if you support elective abortion and are against the potential war in Iraq.
BOBERT... I'm pro-life, anti-death penalty, and hoping there is no need for a war in Iraq. One other thing, though... you said,
"Yeah, we can't have sex education in the public schools but we can sure enough round up gay folks for "retraining"??? Hmmmmm,? Am I missing something here, or what..."
What in heckfire are you talking about? Where did that come from?
