Comments by "Charles Brightman" (@charlesbrightman4237) on "What a new Supreme Court means for abortion" video.

  1. It's obvious, very clearly amend the Constitution of the United States that even Supreme Court Justices could only interpret one way. And consider also, some religions claim exemptions from secular laws on the grounds of religious beliefs. But then shouldn't secularist be exempted from religious dogma and beliefs? If certain religions believe abortion is wrong, then fine, those in that religion shouldn't have abortions. But why should their beliefs affect others, especially those not of their religion? Keep abortion fully legal. And consider also, LEGALIZE SUICIDE, ESPECIALLY FOR TERMINALLY ILL PEOPLE !!! Why make your fellow human beings suffer, sometimes in severe pain? Just to make you happy? And then likewise, if certain religions disagree with this, fine, for those in that religion, don't commit suicide. But why should any religion impose their beliefs upon others?

  2. 'if you like water you like 75% of me' Suicide is not legal everywhere. And for people who try it and don't succeed, society locks them up. Why shouldn't a person have an inherent right over their own life, even to end it for any reason at all they might have, but especially if they were terminally ill already and possibly even in pain in staying alive? Religions have corrupted the minds of society with their apparent fairy tale beliefs. Life is all ultimately meaningless anyway according to the latest analysis. We are ALL going to die one day from something. (The observable evidence for this just seems to be overwhelming.) We are ALL going to forget everything we ever knew and experienced. (While science does not know what 'consciousness' actually is, nor how memories are stored and retrieved, nor how thoughts actually occur, they do all appear to be a function of our physical brain. When our brain dies for it's final time, 'we' die, for all of future eternity.) We are ALL going to be forgotten one day in future eternity as if we never ever existed at all in the first place. (Or so the current analysis would seem to indicate.) Now, as I don't know what I don't know, I do try to keep my mind open to any new pertinent facts. But then those other pertinent facts would have to change the conclusion of the analysis. But, if a person is suffering, for even whatever reason, but certainly in cases of being terminally ill, and especially when those individuals are in pain, then let them die on their own terms. Society makes individuals suffer, sometimes in extreme pain, just because it makes society feel better about themselves. (Or at least how I currently see life to be.)

  3. 'if you like water you like 75% of me' And consider also, 'if' suicide was truly legal, then how come businesses aren't set up to make money off of it? Surely some entity would if they could in our economically driven society.
