It is not a joke in god's eyes and once the blue smoke and magic escape it you will be rendered into the dark ages.

Or at least I'm beginning to understand how the dark ages happened. Dugger like primitives fearing magic, sorcery, witches, spell-casting and harmless things they don't understand.

so much for pro choice Travis_0004 Sep 2014 #24

Sounds like you don't understand what 'pro choice' means. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #26

Pro-choice does not mean "ABSENT ANY PLANNING" for any and all future pregnancies hlthe2b Sep 2014 #30

100 percent pro choice yeoman6987 Sep 2014 #66

Thank YOU! smirkymonkey Sep 2014 #71

I beg your pardon: pro-choice meant it was YOUR choice. Not anyone else's. Wella Sep 2014 #93

"Respect others' opinions" is a very weak argument. alp227 Sep 2014 #96

I said respect others' "choices". Wella Sep 2014 #104

In any case, define what out means to respect alp227 Sep 2014 #107

How about an apology first? Wella Sep 2014 #108

OK I'm sorry for misinterpreting your post. alp227 Sep 2014 #109

Thank you. It means that you come from a philosophical world view of choice Wella Sep 2014 #111

So can one be non judgmental while making an argument alp227 Sep 2014 #112

Once you assign values to choices, you disrupt the general notion of choice and you invite criticism Wella Sep 2014 #116

Seriously? You think pro-choice means you no longer LondonReign2 Sep 2014 #103

It means that your philosophical world view should shape your opinion. If you are Pro-Choice, you Wella Sep 2014 #106

You're very confused as to what pro-choice means LondonReign2 Sep 2014 #124

Ok. If I am confused, perhaps you can do what I have done: give a philosophical and legal perspectiv Wella Sep 2014 #128

I'm waiting. And I really will listen. Wella Sep 2014 #129

Still waiting.... Wella Sep 2014 #133

Pretty freakin' judgemental, aren't you? HoustonDave Sep 2014 #134

Absolutely pro-choice. Mariana Sep 2014 #51

so its ok to protest outside an abortion clinic Travis_0004 Sep 2014 #52

Criticizing someone's decisions in no way denies her right to make those decisions. Mariana Sep 2014 #56

Not immediately. But societal judgements can quickly become laws that deny people rights Wella Sep 2014 #95

You and I know protesting outside clinics is far beyond mere criticism. alp227 Sep 2014 #97

So much for rational thought... LanternWaste Sep 2014 #91
