  1. "What do you think I should do?" "That is a very personal choice." "But I really want your opinion. What do you think I should do?" "I'm sorry, I can't say. It is too personal." "Well, but would you do it?" "No." Am I talking about getting vaccinated, or getting an abortion, or both? Be careful what you wish for.

  2. A husband and father cannot be forced to donate a pint of blood to save his pregnant wife's life. We all agree it is monstrous to refuse, no argument. The state STILL cannot force him. That is because the Fourteenth Amendment protects bodily integrity and autonomy. This is implicit in the concept of liberty. Or, it used to be. I think you should be careful what you wish for.

  3.  @surgtek2006  Aw, thanks! One difference: I might be persuaded to get vaccinated. Still my choice.

  4.  @userumbleandgettr4freespee501  I never suggested any such thing. But keep on arguing with the people in your head.

  5. I believe in *CHOOSE* life. Both. Emphasis where it belongs.

  7.  @userumbleandgettr4freespee501  Were you able to read what I wrote, and think it through?

  8.  @userumbleandgettr4freespee501  I believe in *CHOOSE* life. Both. No question. Emphasis where it belongs.

  9. Save the teens from school massacres and sex trafficking. Both are in court at the moment. Your thoughts?

  10. THIS! Absolutely. In the 1980s, France had the best elective abortion law, limited at 12 weeks, so during the embryonic phase. Counseling was mandatory. They always asked a woman why she wanted to abort. If she so much as mentioned money, she had to go to a second office that gave her information on all the public aid she would be entitled to. The paperwork she got said up front, the French Republic supports natality. She also had to sign an affidavit declaring she was a "mother in distress" in order to proceed. Government paid 70% for elective abortion, 100% for births, including a clothing allowance. After 12 weeks, medically necessary abortions could be approved by a three-doctor panel, and severe psychiatric distress could be a reason, depending. No idea what they do now. It was the best abortion law in the world, by my lights. France had really low infant and maternal mortality.

  11.  @gerrykings187  You can't ask a woman to risk her life to give birth, only to be forced to relinquish the child, on account of money. That is barbaric. That is not valuing life. Give her welfare, then, enough to live on. It's only money.

  12.  @robmerrill3460  I'm glad you said that. I don't know whether you've noticed, but the man-woman thing has been under assault. Maybe don't be so arrogant as to tell other people how to order the most intimate areas of their lives, under criminal penalty. Just back off for now. You're getting lots and lots abstinence. I don't think that is such a good thing. It's not obvious.

  13.  @user-yc9vx3nz5z  Abortion being relitigated, while Ghislaine Maxwell is being tried. I wish they were as committed to stemming school massacres and sex trafficking. That would be . . . interesting to see.

  14.  @poncholarpez6233  Think it through.

  15. P. S. Your OP is the best by far.

  16.  @zachgates7491  Choice. The right to control your reproduction is a fundamental part of liberty.

  17. If abortion is "murder," of a legal person, how can it be left up to the states? It has to be a crime everywhere.

  18.  @povertybay3260  LOL, great.

  19.  @jfbshxjfb  I'm relieved.

  20.  @userumbleandgettr4freespee501  I don't know whether you've noticed, but erotic love between men and women has taken a lot of hits lately. Maybe it cannot take another blow. Just . . . just BUTT OUT.

  21.  @userumbleandgettr4freespee501  You assume too much. Vastly. Why?

  22.  @userumbleandgettr4freespee501  The environment I am describing has served to make people intensely hesitant about entering into relationships or having children. Cynical, even. It's not just a body count, even if we concede your premise for the sake of argument.

  23.  @userumbleandgettr4freespee501  Excuse me? If abortion kills a human person, then tell me how any state can permit it, at any time. Then it has to be a crime, at every stage, from fertilization on. BTW, was that a threat?

  24.  @userumbleandgettr4freespee501  You discredit yourself with your bullying. How do you propose that any state police pregnancy? If a pregnant woman attempts suicide and lives while losing the pregnancy, should any state have the right to try her for a homicide? Tell us your plan. You have so much experience . . .

  25.  @zachgates7491  I've never voted for a ticket with Biden on it. La Riva last year, to register my protest against the refusal to release Leonard Peltier. In France, even serial killers have been subject to compassionate release after that length of time -- to halfway houses, obviously. No one worships might like we do. I think it's a weakness.

  26. I think so, too. Lucrative.
