Many people say women use abortion as birth control. but does anyone actually knows someone who actually does that?
In the end, it’s a lot like people fussing about hearing some girls think the Boston bomber is hot and therefore must be innocent. Their lady parts are leading their brains!
Culture still sees libido as reason’s mortal enemy, not just for women, but for men, too. How many times do we hear men say “I was thinking with my other head” after they did something stupid?
Sex is not that visious enemy stealing blood from our brains. All smart people have brains, all smart people have genitals, too and history is full of bright people who put both to good use; Catherine the Great, Benjamin Franklin, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir…
As a Christian, I know that you be rotting in hell after age or disease and insanity claim you, and you will have plenty of professional politicians to keep you company (mostly liberals and democrats)
Skippy says, “Spot on! Protecting all human life IS important”, then follows up with “decent Americans support both Texas’s pro life approach as well as its aggressive death penalty system”
Every time the “Pro-life” folks spout off, I can’t get the boys at Monty Python singing “Every sperm is sacred” out of my head. They ARE after all, just “singing the praises” of the bible teachings. Well, not the one that speaks to “quickening” or that killing a slave and her fetus is death penalty, but if only the fetus dies, the “killer” only pays a fine for damaging “HIS property”, not “life”.
ReasonsVentriloquist: Capitalization is optional. However, atheism has a creed, central of which is that God does not exist. One and a quarter centuries ago, Thomas Huxley wrote an essay, On Agnosticism, in which he demonstrated that God cannot be proved nor falsified by the scientific method – both views are faith statements – so use science for what science can handle and religion for what faith can handle. (Quite different from what his coined term has been perverted into “duh, I don’t know whether God exists or not”.) Anything with a faith statement at the core of its belief system is a religion, propaganda purposes (or initial capitalization) notwithstanding.
I still get their newsletters (and I think because of you mentioning them a few years ago). I was considering mentioning Brights in one of my posts and that I should stop responding that I’m an atheist because I’m now just about agreed that :
““Atheist” is a term given to us by the Religious, trying to define us in THEIR terms of what we are “without” or “against.”” -DrC in a post above.
Earlier I was puzzled by your post addressed to me; I see now you’ve clarified it was aimed at Bruce4321. ;-)
RV said: “The attacker voids “logic” as a weapon, because they create this false orthodoxy wherein not believing in a nothing equals believing in a nothing, and as such that nothing is a something.”See above with Bruce4321 ! Exasperating.Fortunately, Bruce4321 isn’t the only Bruce I know. There’s equilibrium in the universe.

Because ending the life of a convicted murderer is the same as killing an unborn baby……Ok.

The GOP is perfectly happy to kill born babies too. Somehow, the right to life ends at birth.

Don’t kill, abortion or capital murder.

I think Clark mistakenly used “know” instead of “believe” the same way Christians do when they talk about their beliefs.

You sir are the epitome of what Bors speaks of.

Strange` that in the litany of “legal” killing, war is generally omitted – particularly in the country with a permanent, non-specific state of war.

Anti-abortion doesn’t sound as good though it’s much more accurate.

It’s much easier to appreciate the comedy if you don’t live in Texas. But he may provide comedy for everyone by running for president again.

I don’t believe that any woman uses abortion as “casual birth control”… the choice should be made by no one other than the woman and her doctor
