Quote:There are some arguments in life that aren't worth having. Abortion is one of them. People stand around shouting at each other to no end, and by the time the dust settles, no one's mind is changed, but we all hate each other just a little bit more for having had the discussion.

 

Personally, I don't think that any man has a right to tell a woman what she can and can't do with her body and things contained within it. Please don't misinterpret that as my support of abortion, because it's not. It's simply me recognizing that no matter what I think one way or the other, 50% of the population is going to disagree with me, they're not going to be interested in the science or morality behind my opinion, and nothing I say or do will change that. I have more important things to worry about on a daily basis, like what new way the NSA has dreamed up to spy on me this week, how to prevent us from becoming a police state (yeah, it's happening), why oil companies are allowed to pump hydraulic fluid into my drinking water supply and why GMO foods aren't required to be labeled as such. To be extremely blunt, I think there are far more important things for Americans to worry about than what a woman chooses to do to her own body and things contained within it, and the people behind those bigger problem topics absolutely love it to death when someone selectively edits video, kills a lion or posts a picture of a kitten playing the piano. Every set of eyes fixated on that stuff is one less set of eyes on their activities.

 

Hey, Eric, got room in that bunker for one more? The more I pay attention, the more I'm starting to feel like I'm going to need one of my own before too long here.

 

You are exactly right.  one of the key fundamental aspects of having psychopathic tendencies is that the life of others becomes fundamentally subordinate to your own personal welfare and prosperity.  Incidentally this pretty well sums up why Cecil the lion got so much coverage, another symptom is the irrational idolazation of animals or inanimate objects above that of humans.  

 

I am sure that in the early 19th century there were those who said, "Hey, there's no real point in debating about this whole slavery thing.  I'm white you're white.  It won't be us in the basement of some southern plantation so what does it matter?  So a few of them die off, who cares.  Can you imagine how much a cotton shirt would cost if we didn't have slavery?  Besides, their just (insert whatever racial slur you feel appropriate) its not like their PEOPLE!"  The last thing that anyone would want to do is inconvenience you with being a human being.

 

As for the concept of "You can't tell a woman what to do with her own body."  First off that's B.S. The right to keep and bear arms doesn't give you the right to go into a movie theater and shoot up the place to make yourself feel better, the right to free speech doesn't give you the ability to shout fire in the middle of an airplane ride, the right to freely assemble doesn't give you the ability to click up with your best palls and conspire to blow up buildings and a woman's right to self determination doesn't include indiscriminately destroying any organism that society is too lazy to protect.  

 

Now, I think that there are some very rational people who are pro choice who base their argument on viability.  I would still disagree vehemently with them about the morality of terminating a pregnancy of any age without cause but i can at least understand where they are coming from.  In the case of Planned Parenthood and the extreme Pro Abortion left (not just pro choice pro abortion) they believe that any time any where abortion is the order of the day and even if the poor little tyke is born before the procedure or survives because they have a level of viability outside the womb these people still want to have human sacrifice on the alter of feminism and then profit from the sale of the desecrated vessel.  As Malabar Put it, to anyone who actually does have compassion for the child even those who are pro choice the ACTIONS of planned parenthood are abhorent.  And to anyone who actually takes the time to do the research, the ORIGINS of planned parenthood itself are fundamentally beneath our social conscience and the whole thing should be shuttered.  If you are naive enough to believe that Planned Parenthood is the only organization that can legitimately advise women on birth control and provide health services then i really don't know what to say at this point!
