Alabama abortion law...

Pie is garbage. Now let's see how brave you are.

 

Chicken.

 

Just like all the actors from hollyweird that are supporting abortions.........but adopting foreign kids instead of 'murican kids. Ironic ain't it? Posted in jest......sorta.

 

Me either. It's been a good life.

 

At a certain point, public funding becomes an issue of value. What makes more sense, a single abortion or a lifetime of support?

 

What makes the most sense is providing comprehensive sexual education at an early age in an attempt to get away from our Victorian forebears view on the subject and then providing contraception and morning after treatment readily, cheaply, and without judgement. I'm fine with using my tax dollars in support of this effort. Abortion as contraceptive is not cost effective.

 

I would prefer that you not check out just yet. I find value in our conversations. Also, you will owe me dinner in Paris sooner than you think.

 

Not true, wife has been an ICU nurse for 33 years. They unplugged two in a 10 bed unit this week. One only had one family member they could call and he didn't want that call made. Made my wife sad that there wasn't anyone else there to be with the patient. It's probably happening at least weekly in a decent sized hospital.

 

Think this happens every April 15th.

 

Yup.

Child's "best interests" trump propriety.

 

Partially related but I always liked this order of priorities when raising kids:

1. Kids needs
2. Parents needs
3. Parent wants
4. Kids wants

 

Were you responding to me? No, you can't nuke both of them, because if you don't pay for the abortion, you wind up paying for the welfare and education. If you don't pay for the welfare and education, you're going to wind up paying for the prosecution and prison term.

 

But the hard right bitches about that too - almost as much as they do abortion. @CausticYarn was spot on a few pages ago when she was talking about all the ostrich parents who refuse to believe that their kids are interested in sex. They have this fear that being taught about sex will make them go out and have it, just like the fear that if they see gay people they'll turn gay, if they are taught the truth about drugs that they'll do them, etc, etc, etc.
