quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery A blessing which does nothing but celebrate your obsession with pot. That's your opinion. And I'm not quite sure if that's a violation of the TOS against personal attacks, given the spirit you offered your opinion.

If pointing out the obvious is now a personal attack, you're going to feel attacked a LOT. In this case, it's an opinion that comes from your own ranting on the topic.

OK, here's the plan. Both sides are turning to God. Fair enough. We separate the two groups, have them pray in isolation from each other for 40 days. Let the stronger God win. If that's no good, then they don't really trust in their God anyway, and we can put the whole thing behind us.

quote: ORIGINAL: sublindsay What happened to pro-life and pro-choice? That's what the groups stand for. Being "Pro-Life" is a lie. If you're "Pro-Life", WHAT DO YOU EAT? You can't kill meat. You can't kill vegetables. Fruit is out, because each apple is a potential tree. You can't kill fish. See how STUPID the words "Pro-Life" are? And there's nothing more dishonest than someone SAYING they're Pro-Life, but then killing whatever they want to so they can eat lunch. So, given that the position, based on scientific fact and the internal contradictions, is not "Pro-Life", and given that it's not Abortion where they plan on stopping ( See the fight over Birth Control ), their REAL POSITION IS ANTI-FAMILY-PLANNING. And that's because they just don't think women are intelligent enough to be trusted with controlling their own bodies. "Life Begins At Conception" is a SCIENTIFIC LIE. So, once you get over the stupidity of that, you'll understand. ( Life is a continuum. The egg is ALIVE. The sperm is ALIVE. The fetus and embryo are ALIVE. Being ALIVE doesn't make the cells special. HAVING A SOUL MAKES THE CELLS SPECIAL, RIGHT? )

Well, it's disrespectful for you to assume that about a blessing OUT OF MY FATHER'S PRAYER BOOK is used in such a limited context. And of course, it suggests there's something WRONG with medical marijuana. You wouldn't do that, would you? Be suggesting I'm some sort of "Stupid Pothead", right? Because if there's ONE THING you should have gotten by now. I'm not stupid. But hey, your apology is accepted anyway.

That you'd use it that way is your own karma.

EVERY APPLE YOU EAT IS AN ABORTION YOU ARE PERFORMING! Are you a hypocrite when you say, "all life is precious except for the lives you choose to end in order to feed myself?"

dcnovice -> RE: "40 days of prayer" angers anti-Choice movement (4/14/2012 3:50:31 PM)
FR To be honest, I'm not wild about either side using prayer as a political football.

quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery quote: One side says it is acceptable to kill human beings if they are inconvenient or disabled. I'd love to see that quote. Thanks. Link to it when you find it. I don't need a quote. That is what the pro-choice crowd says: that while they themselves may not believe in abortion, that it is an acceptable choice to make, whether out of convenience or otherwise. Downs syndrome, for example, is not even a terminal diagnosis, however over 90% of those diagnosed in utero are killed for that disability, many saying because they fear a poor quality of life. Yet, for those few diagnosed who manage to survive the womb, 99 percent responded they were happy with their lives, 97 percent liked who they are, and 96 percent liked how they looked. Yeah, liking who you are and being happy is a shitty quality of life don't you know. This doesn't even count how many human beings are killed in utero because their mother thought that giving birth was inconvenient and expensive (which is over 90% of all abortions performed). Please note, unlike many I don't use the word "murder" when talking about abortion. I recognize that for it to be murder it would have to be illegal, but I also don't see abortion as any different than a slave owner killing his slave (prior to the Emancipation Proclimation). Both the slave and the unborn are human beings, even if they are not seen as legal persons. But even a slave was considered to be 3/5 of a person.

quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen quote: ORIGINAL: sublindsay Alright, you know I could care less about what side of abortion anyone is on. It's here and nothing is going to change it. But it's annoying how some people have started calling those against abortion the "anti-choice" party. What happened to pro-life and pro-choice? "pro-life" was always a misnomer. Neither side is against life. One side is for violence against actual people who disagree with them and for taking rights away from everyone because of their narrow religious beliefs. this

No soul; no child. That explains that quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub I am pro choice...but I hope my daughters and grand daughters would decide to have the baby. Of course it is a mockery and shameful....and... in all 40 prayers I did not see a prayer for the soul of the child in the garbage. Butch

farglebargle -> RE: "40 days of prayer" angers anti-Choice movement (4/14/2012 5:54:56 PM)
Well, that's predicated on the erroneous belief that a soul is implanted at conception. A hypothesis proven false by twinning at 15 days.

quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery quote: One side says it is acceptable to kill human beings if they are inconvenient or disabled. I'd love to see that quote. Thanks. Link to it when you find it. So you have never heard of anyone getting an abortion because they were not ready to have a kid? You never heard of someone getting an abortion because tests determined their child would be disabled? You never heard anyone say that it would be criminal to make a women carry a child she can't afford to take care of? Hell I knew a girl who got 2 abortions in a 6 month period because she didn't want her husband to know she was screwing around on him? The third time she got pregnant, she miscarried and then cried because she is afraid she won't be able to have any more kids. There are all kinds of reasons the women want them, those are just 2 of them.

Of course you also equate a human life with a head of lettuce so that doesn't surprise me.

Wow, they found out when the soul is implanted. That is amazing. Something this big has to have a shit load of links. Why not provide a few?

To many, dare I say the majority of, devout Christians...and these claim to be, you know not just purposely infuriating their opponents, a soul is given at conception. This means the aborted fetus is a separate living human being. I will let God decide if there is a punishment. I try to teach my children it is wrong...my church teaches it is wrong but I don't want my government telling me on behalf of my church it is wrong. Butch

Where did I say it was my business what happened there. How rude of you to assume I thought it was.

That at conception, the living sperm, and living egg join together and SOMETHING DIVINE HAPPENS. What could possibly happen to make the blastocyst 'special' so that it's worthy of their 'protection'? I personally think anyone who buys into "Life begins at Conception" to be either a nitwit, or crazy. Mostly just fucking stupid, since they're too dumb to observe that since the sperm and egg are both 'alive', then the assertion that 'life begins...' is just fucking retarded.
