YES! EXACTLY! THANK YOU!
Victims of sexual crimes which result in unwanted pregnancy should be afforded the option to abort, but only as a FINAL solution.
And the only other exception would be when birth endangers the life of the mother, but of course, THAT decision would be left to the woman whose life is in danger.
Abortion shouldn't be a form of birth control.
My thoughts exactly. Thank you!
It makes me sick to think that there are people as thick-skulled as you. Living in your ideal little world with lolli-pop forests and marshmallow skies.
Have you ever heard of RAPE, or INCEST? Abortion should NOT be a form of birth control, but for a victim of sexual abuse of any kind, it should at least be a final option.
Then by your logic, alcohol and tobacco should also be illegal, right?
Because right now in the U.S., those two substances ARE legal to purchase in ANY AMOUNT, from almost any place.
So the question is, since marijuana IS less harmfull to the mind and body than both alcohol and tobacco, WHY are those who use it recreationally, denied to make that choice?
In a stereotypically ideal world, I suppose your arguments are valid.
Straight men encouraging other straight men to turn gay for the benefit of having more women to themselves? That might be a worthwhile endeavour (ideally) if you were one of, say, ten men left alive.
With roughly three billion male humans on the planet, it would be a complete waste of energy for one man to waste so much time trying to convert other men to homosexuality (or vice versa) for the benefit of having a potentially greater chance of sexual conquest.
The more I write this, the stupider I feel. You've got to be kidding, right?
A ban on guns would be about as effective as the illegalization of drugs.
Regardless of the law, a determined addict will always get his fix.
A determined criminal will always find a gun.
And the law to ban guns will only serve to disarm the law-abiding, leaving more people at the mercy of a criminal element.
The only TRUE solution to ending gun violence is to end ALL violence, but that is impossible by nature. A killer without a gun will use a blade or blunt object, as they do even today.
If you ban guns, violence and death will continue. Ban the guns, and the knives, and the ropes, and the rocks, and the fists.
The "gun" is just a tool. It can be used to help, as well as harm. It is the character of the man who holds responsibility for the gun that determines how it is used.
Ask yourself this: Would a gun in your hands bring only death and destruction? If you were educated about, and familiar with the weapon, would you be forced to shoot simply because it was there? Could you envision a scenario in which the gun you held might save your life?
Watch "America's Most Wanted" on Saturday nights. With every scenario you see, ask yourself if the victims of those crimes might be alive today if THEY carried a gun.
A simple internet search for instances where a firearm saved lives, and a few minutes of careful reading are all that you should need.
"...it only allows criminals to commit crimes..."
REALLY?! That's interesting. Riddle me this: How would one STOP a criminal with a gun who is committing a crime?
"...It definetly doesnt protect anyone from anything, it only harms the people of this country."
You're joking, right? You don't think peoples lives have been saved because they carry a firearm? Why do you think people choose to carry guns in the first place? Because they want to shoot someone?
Let's look at BIG PICTURE, for a moment: GUNS protected the LIFE and LIBERTY and FREEDOM that you now take for granted in this country.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
