Yeah, like that's what I said: "She should have the right to kill her entire family!" Listen to yourself.
But she does have the right to determine how large her family will be based on her own reality. What's next, revoke women's right to vote? They already lack equal pay and workplace...
Yes, I likely misunderstood your meaning. I guess I was thinking of something like prohibition, wherein government prohibits behavior based on "moral" grounds. Or criminalizes abortion for similar reasons.
That's not a lack of will, or desire for change, among the popular majority; it's the concerted effort of the obstructionist Republican senators. It's been shown that about 80% of the policy changes that the majority of citizens endorse suffer defeat in Congress, which is bought and paid for...
Sorry, but a majority is a majority--and most Americans (women and men) favor legal, accessible abortion.
Many other countries feel that abortion is a woman's civil right. Countries that do not feel that way are most often autocratic. Which is exactly where we are heading!
Great stuff!
I do a lot of woodworking in my basement shop--using skills that I've learned over a lifetime, combined with much good information gleaned from the Internet. That said, it's common to see "knowledgeable online practitioners" exhibit unsafe habits and methods. I'm always proud of...
First, thank you, Greg, for your attention to this disease. After spending the last eight years strategically rigging down large dying oak trees in order to make safe the dozens of surrounding beech trees, I have been traumatized by Beech Leaf Disease, as beeches constitute a large part of my...
This one's for @moss:

I agree with this whole-body, musculoskeletal approach. I have relieved many wrist and hand problems by ferreting out tender spots in my elbows and shoulders--and performing "acupressure" in those areas. Forcefully massage those spots until they hurt the most--and keep pressing for about two...
We also have turkeys, whose mating rituals often resemble a thoughtfully organized reel dance, with turkeys forming lines and prancing past each other. But then, one day, there was the turkey face-fight.
Two turkeys used my yard for a 1-1/2-hour no-holds-barred brawl, which mainly consisted of...
I’d like to add some facts to this discussion that might refocus it on civil rights and mothers’ dominion over their own bodies.
1. When one earns a driver’s license in one state, he is able to drive in every state; moreover, he can get drunk and run down as many humans as possible in any state...
As I did not understand the religious nuances behind "giving grace," I did some (admittedly limited) reading about that particular "bestowal of forgiveness." The best (worst) practical example that I found went something like this:
"In our family, when we apologize to one another, we don't just...
The word "my" rightfully indicates that you have the right to decide what goes on in "your" womb--for you and your offspring. In fact, ALL WOMEN should continue to have those basic, personal rights!
That is why you, nor anyone else, has the right to decide what goes on in other women's wombs ...
The parents’ sociological, financial, and emotional situations, along with their relative maturity, self-reliance and support network, must provide the justification for keeping or aborting the yet-potential life in the womb.
True Story: Early in her pregnancy, my close friend’s wife was...
Yes, that is exactly why you don't have a say. That and the fact that you weren't raped by your uncle....and aren't condemned by society for "opening your legs." I hope men really can have babies; then, they might show an ounce of compassion for, and an understanding of, the average woman's...
