The distortion of history is why the working class whites couldn't catch a break then, and can't catch a break now. Instead of minorities knowing the truth, they're fed lies about the past and get mad at the poor instead of the elites.

Sorry to bring this up again, but if you are anti abortion, you'd better get on board the birth control education train.

People are going to have sex, no matter what. The just say no policy doesn't work. Just ask the Palin family.

That's the only solution to abortion? Preventing pregnancies? How about reminding people that adoption agencies exist?

Yes, it is. And what's wrong with men and women, or boys and girls, knowing there are options. Don't let that boys and girls statement upset you. The reality is that kids have sex and young girls get pregnant. Same with married couples. I'm glad my first partner knew a little about it. It saved me from becoming a father before I was ready.

Compare, for example, Colorado that has a very good birth control education system as well as availability to birth control methods. Texas, OTOH, prefers to keep their females ignorant and pregnant. As difficult as it is in Texas to get an abortion, the abortion rate is a lot higher there than Colorado. Also the number of teen pregnancies.

My ex didn't know anything about birth control when we met. She had been taught just say no. But a ride home from a babysitting job ended up with her ployer forcing himself on her so that when we married, she had a 3 year old in tow. Need I tell you how many of my female classmates didn't graduate because they were in forced marriages or single mothers. But then, I remember my freshman health class, and the only birth control method they taught was "just day no". They were 4 years to late to tell me that. In fact, during o e of the classes, a girl in our year came in to withdraw because she hadn't got that message. We'd already lost another girl earlier in the hear for the same reason.

Just say no may have worked for YOU, and it works for others, but it doesn't work for everybody.

"It saved me from becoming a father before I was ready."
If you aren't ready, don't try. Pretty simple.

I doubt it. The world is screwed up, and it's just going to get worse. :(

Uh, why? In the future, will people be more okay with killing babies?

Fetuses. Baby happens after birth.

And probably, yes. At the very least they'll be just as OK with it as they are now.

So people in the future will continue to be okay with the murder of human beings. And you're cool with it?

You just got a certified C.U.N.T. award

Yes, people in the future will continue to differentiate between a fetus in development and a born human being. Murder being a term typically reserved for the latter.

Your judgemental award is accepted as the meaningless statement that it is.

False. The statement "All [humans] are CREATED equal," as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, still stands. Creation = conception.

There is no reason to differentiate a born human and a fetus, especially after the fourth month, so murder should NOT be a term "reserved for the latter." Fool.

There are SEVERAL good reasons to differentiate a born human from a fetus. There are so many things that can happen to the fetus during that have nothing to do with abortion that could terminate the pregnancy. To terminate the pregnancy is a complex and personal medical decision between the expecting parents and the doctor; the government should not be in the business of legislating that decision because of a moral objection that only about a third of the country will ever agree with.

If you still don't understand, talk to a doctor. The medical community has several reasons for acknowledging birth as the divide between life and life-in-development.

Again, your judgment of my intelligence means nothing.

You say meaningless words and empty phrases. It's not my job to verify your shit claims. How is it different?

Oh okay, I get it. You believe in magic.
