Hey, y'all! Why don't we celebrate abortions? Like with baby showers! Have a party! Sing and dance! Wheee!

    The moderator has properly objected to posts by religious conservatives that engaged in repeated baseless personal attacks

    It is a legitimate question to ask why someone is here who opposes Ayn Rand's philosophy and the purpose of this forum and who will not discuss serious points raised against his assertions as he responds with anti-intellectual wise cracks.

    The sentence "It is your right, to stay in style, regarding what is a right?" makes no sense.

    You knew before you posted it that religious dogma, in particular the "rights" of the unborn, are contrary to the purpose of this forum and are not a basis for discussion here.. There is no stalemate, only the usual rejection of repetitious evasion of the reasoned discussion that remains available for thinking people to read.

    Religious dogma and emotional argument are indefensible and do not do well in any "debates", as is illustrated over and over on this forum, making it "frustrating" to those who try it -- especially the occasional evangelists so stuck in an adamant faith and/or emotional thinking, oblivious to what is happening around them, that they don't understand what is being said. This forum is supposed to be about Ayn Rand's ideas, not proselytizing religious conservativism while dogmatically evading understanding Ayn Rand.

    You have no right to control other people's sex lives. In the modern world people who don't want pregnancy ordinarily do use contraception, but not guilt-induced abstinence. If they don't, or it doesn't work, then the possibility of abortion as an option arises. This has already been discussed many times and you continue to ignore it.

    No matter what was or wasn't done to avoid pregnancy, the choice of abortion at any stage of the pregnancy is none of your business.

    "Not getting pregnant" is not related to the moral status of abortion, which in turn is unrelated to "killing babies". Without pregnancy there is nothing to abort.

    Anti-abortionist demands that a woman not become pregnant is intrusion into other people's sex lives. No one has any right to tell someone else that if she does not want a child then do not become pregnant under penalty of being forced to bear a child if she does.

    What happens after birth is not related to abortion and does not make the moral status of abortion "complicated".

    This has already been discussed. A week before birth is before birth.

    "Methinks" is not relevant to what a woman decides for herself. The vast majority of late term abortions are for reasons of threat to health or the life of the woman. You have no role in it whatsoever. A fetus is not a "poor kid", it is none of your business, and it does not become your business through the misuse of words to create a false imagery.

    I think human biology is set up to make it easy to reproduce and therefore keep the human race going. In todays world, it would be better IF a woman was infertile UNTIL she did soemthing to make herself fertile IF she wanted a kid.

    Kids should be born to two parents so they grow up balanced and happy.

    Three or four years ago when me dino had the audacity to defend that marriage license clerk, Kim Davis,ewv told me
    to leave the board. I responded with a "Make me" and got a -3 for that.
    Me dino didn't care. I thought Mrs. Davis had a right to her religious convictions no matter who she worked for.
    Since then evw and I got on friendlier terms. Guess that's gone.

    Yes, amaze yourself Dino. It is your right, to stay in style, regarding what is a right?

    This Peter Smith posted "why are you on this board", which apparently is against the decorum on this forum.

    Wonder if the moderator acts as strongly as he did when the shoe was on the other foot, demanding to argue the subject not the person.

    Watching with interest.

    yeah, there are a lot of options other than killing the baby- starting with not getting pregnant in the first place !!

    Me dino amazes myself.
    Guess I'm engaging because I own this thread.
    Getting tired of this hornet's nest I kicked due to this "debate" becoming a stalemate that I can't see ever ending.

    I'm not the absolutist thinker that yoiu are. There's an old saying about there being exceptions to every rule.
    A woman may opt to save her own life. That's what I'd call an actual health issue.
    Rape or incest may be involved.

    Countless folks in the Jackass Party appear to unconsciously hold that view. With their feelings.
    Or why Kavanaugh caught so much hell.

    Here is my personal opinion~
    Any Rand had a great mind but was not 100% right about everything. No human being is or was.
    I'm fallible too. And you?
