"This is a pretty touchy issue , and I agree with the different points of view .. most of them make sense ... while I do n't personally agree with abortion , I do n't feel that I have the right to tell someone else what they should do . The way I see it , is that it 's their body , their life , they are the ones who will be affected by their decision . I do n't have to like the choices someone else makes , and I do n't have to agree with it , but while I have that right , I also believe that people should have the right to make those decisions . Are these anti-abortion people going to step in and pay for the cost of having the baby , raising it , etc .. ? ? ? Maybe some of those are the issues people consider when having an abortion . Maybe the woman was raped . I see the point when someone said that the baby should not be punished for that , and I agree with that , but the rape was committed against the woman 's will ... she did n't ask for that to happen , and if a pregnancy results from that , that is also against her will , so why should she feel that she has to have the child ? What does she tell the child when it decides to ask who its father is ? ? The child could still be born and given up for adoption , and that is a good idea , but maybe the woman will relive the rape throughout the pregnancy by being reminded of it on a daily basis .... all I feel is until it happens to you , and YOU are forced to make these kinds of choices , you should n't judge anyone else for the choices that they make ."

"First , there is no `` us `` on your part regarding this . I am talking to you . Others here that argue your same positions have been much less beligerent , so as far as I 'm concerned your attitude sets you apart . Second , I was n't trying to give you justification , nor am I obligated to . You should be giving justification for wanting to redefine marriage as an institution which you have n't done . But I do n't owe you any justification . Take your silly games up with Mana'ia ; they wo n't work with me . You 're right , as well as having the institution of marriage on the line . But you are the one who seems to think this is a game , based on your posts . ( with your comments like `` you 've won `` ; `` he 's lost `` , and other silly things , as if this is a basketball game or something . ) It seems you 'd do well to take your own advice .

It 's unconstitutional to allow one group of people access to marriage rights ( hetero couples only ) , and not allow it to female/female and male/male couples when they are obviously lobbying for it in significant numbers .

You know what WE call it on the debate forum when one side refuses to present or rebut arguments ? Losing the debate . I realize winning and losing .. i.e . being right and being wrong are not concepts found in religion , where anything goes ... but out here in the real world actions have consequences , and words ... yes , imagine that , have specific meanings .

"Too bad . That does n't automatically give you the excuse to support discredited beliefs . and it gives you no protection when others tell you to shut up and change your argument to address the facts . Abortion was never in the Constitution . However the Second Amendment and gun ownership is , was , and always has been . Roe v. Wade was judicial activism , Heller was just the courts doing their job after 30 long years of trying to avoid the subject . The two cases are n't comparable in the least . Stop using them ."

"In other words , you think a Supreme Court decision should only shut down the debate if it 's a decision you agree with . Roe v. Wade and Heller do share some striking similarities . For example , Scalia stated in Heller : `` Nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on long-standing prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill , or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings , or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. `` However , the text of the Constitution has as much to say about such restrictions as it does about abortion . I 've heard that Scalia has been criticized for making such a statement because there is no clear historical precedent dating back 200 years of banning felons from owning firearms . So neither the text of the Second Amendment nor tradition justifies such restrictions . It is an example of judicial lawmaking ."

"In other words , you think a Supreme Court decision should only shut down the debate if it 's a decision you agree with . Roe v. Wade and Heller do share some striking similarities . For example , Scalia stated in Heller : `` Nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on long-standing prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill , or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings , or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. `` However , the text of the Constitution has as much to say about such restrictions as it does about abortion . I 've heard that Scalia has been criticized for making such a statement because there is no clear historical precedent dating back 200 years of banning felons from owning firearms . So neither the text of the Second Amendment nor tradition justifies such restrictions . It is an example of judicial lawmaking ."

"`` They believe that mechanistic evolution is just too improbable. `` Ah ... do they now . You see , Berkinski et al seem to have a limited comprehension as to what causes life to change in space and time . Where they see improbability I see inevitability- life , in whatever form we care to discuss , is vying to survive against a whole battery of challenges . Some of those challenges confront it on a short term basis- the need for food , suitable environmental conditions in which to survive and so on . Others may be an issue over a longer period of time- the need to find a mate and reproduce , can it survive annual changes in local climates . Ultimately , life has to be able to adapt to the longest term changes- like a major shift in underlying climatic conditions or local topography . And so on- we can consider a whole host of changes that confronts life at various times over different timescales . What is clear from such consideration is the never ending need for life to able to adapt- the Earth is a dynamic and forever changing place ( even the very ground beneath you now is transient in nature ) and environments have changed dramatically over the course of this planets history .

For instance , we have legislatures which posess authority to remove a large number of what you likely consider to be rights .

You seem to be counting on the puppy store effect . You can drive by the puppy store every day without giving a thought to buying a puppy . But if you actually stop and look at one , you might just feel sorry for the pathetic little puppy couped up in the little cage , and decide to buy it just to `` rescue `` it from it 's plight . It goes something like this : `` awww ... look at the cute little puppy , we ca n't leave it here , we just have to take it home `` . 4 months later , that same cute little puppy is sitting in an SPCA shelter waiting to either be adopted or destroyed . All because it 's do-gooder owner made the decision to buy it based on emotion rather than informed choice ."

"Pro choicers claim they are for the rights of women . If that is true why do n't pro-choicer want the pregnant women who seek abortion to be informed ."
|
"First off , not all pro-choice advocates support this position . Second , How does a sonogram help to make an informed choice ? I would think that if she was going to get a sonogram , that she would know that she is already pregnant . Seems like simple logic to me . By saying it would help them make a better choice , do n't you really mean to say that it might influence them to not have an abortion"
