Anyway, back to the pic…

Don’t tempt me. I’d kick him.

XD I laugh as soon as I see it.

I am now here at Texas A&M University pursuing a degree in Biomedical Sciences. Am I a drain on society?

My personal experience is quite the opposite. Most women do not regret it all,. I don’t have any statistics to point at, this is simply my own observation. Interesting difference, anyway. Maybe we are both right and there is a big difference between how it is handled in different countries? The ones I have heard here who have felt uncomfortable have been uncomfortable about not being more uncomfortable, because people around them had the idea that they _should_ be devastated.

I’m attacking nauseous sentimentality with no dealing the reality. Want a ban, fine… provide a decent end to end solution, or deal with something you personally don’t like and have little right to judge. I don’t get off on the idea myself, but I don’t have a better solution.

Also the “Lastly most women regret having the abortion, there have been many cases of psychological damage done after abortion, I see it hurt more women then help.” is only your experience. I’ve never known anyone skip into a clinic singing ‘Sweet Mystery of Life’, but by the same token, I’ve seen numerous women completely screwed up and wishing they’d terminated when there was the option. And there’s now a second person being screwed up by the decision. The coin has two sides. I know both.
I just get very, very tired of semi-judgemental glurge based on sentiment rather than the reality of the seriously unwanted child.

judge this…

• Eight broken ribs and a broken back, with another area of bleeding around the spine at neck level.

• Numerous bruises, cuts and abrasions, including a deep tear to his left ear lobe, which had been pulled away from his head.

• Severe lacerations to the top of his head, including a large gouge which could have been caused by a dog bite.

• Blackened finger- and toenails, with several nails missing; the middle finger of his right hand was without a nail and its tip was also missing, as if it had been sliced off.

• A tear to his fraenulum, the strip of skin between the middle of the upper lip and the gum, which had partially healed.

• One of his front teeth had also been knocked out and was found in his colon. He had swallowed it.

I can see how you are frustrated with this issue, I’ve met people like that as well and there is very little point in talking with them. I consider myself on there side (I say that VERY loosely) and they’ve attacked me.

Went I went into the abortion argument, I didn’t clarify that while I do’nt like the morning after pill there is VERY little anyone can do to regulate it so it’s quite the moot point, but first trimester still is something I disagree with, children are a soft spot for me. Secondly being that I adhere to christian law I can’t endorse anyone that is going to say that all this is okay.

You’re attacking so there is VERY little I can do to discuss this with you. Part of the problem is not teaching kids sex education at a younger age, they don’t understand the pregnancy issues and that is where most of the abortions are desired. Everything else is with adults educated and no one should have and abortion because it is “convenient” because that it is irresponsible. I’ve begrudgingly heard well thought out arguments, and one thing that seems to fail to many people is the problem that there is a difference between killing and murder.

I can understand health and psych issues but people should get that checked out BEFORE they have a child, not during and say “whoops, abort it cause I messed up”. Lastly most women regret having the abortion, there have been many cases of psychological damage done after abortion, I see it hurt more women then help.

Prove it, you who didn’t know what the Lafler curve was… One thing I leardnfrom my days researching positive feedback mechanisms in markets is that one can’t really predict with any certainty, over even a medium short term, how a societal fashion will affect any other metric in that society.

And, here in the Old Country, the least common form of abortion is partial birth/third trimester, despite it being legal. Generally, the ‘OMFG I don’t WANT a baby’ brigade are in the ‘morning after pill’/1st trimester scale (and really people with that reaction probably are wise to not have children), the remainder being health and psych issues and spread more evenly.

TBH, anyone pulling the ‘OMG Teh Innocents!!!!1111eleventy-onewww!!’ style argument need to pull it together and think from their goddamned neck UP. and come up with a socially cohesive plan that deals with all aspects of the root causes, not just pull up pictures of foetus road kill (that are usually inthe gross pathology end of foetal development to anyone who has looked at the matter of foetal development even as desultory fashion as I have)
and wail “The Horror… The Horror!” ATM, unless you have better answers than ‘I don’t approve’ you’re a part of the problem.

[muffled cough in background]

I bow to Seth, the master.

You’ll be happy to know that I am combing the internet for an updated version of the accomplishments of bush and having a very hard time finding them and getting to the point where I’m raising my hands giving up.
