    Women that terminate their pregnancies that late in the game are quite obviously not treating it as "just another form of birth control." If they were using it as birth control, they would have had an abortion at least before the first trimester ended. If a woman is having a partial birth abortion, it's got to be for a damn good reason and I don't think it's any of our business what other women do with thier bodies and lives. You can argue morality and compassion all day but when it comes down to it, it's none of your damn business unless it's YOUR BODY. I'm not crazy about the idea of these types of abortions and I seriously doubt that I would ever do it, but I don't think it's right to take the right away.

    If you're against abortion, don't have an abortion god dammnit! If you're against gay marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex!! Why is everybody always so concerned about what everyone else is doing?!?! Mind your own business. Make decisions based on your own moral compass and leave everyone else alone. Stop trying to push your moral beliefs on other people, we are all human beings capable of making our own decisions!

    What a ridiculous rebuttal. Hitler? Really?? Murder and slavery? I can tell I hit a chord with you seeing as you saw it necessary to personally insult me by calling me stupid when we're simply having a discussion of opinions. You know exactly why your rebuttal is wrong and if you don't then you, my friend, are the stupid one.

    Look "anonymous" you can call me stupid all day long it doesn't bother me one bit. You are completely missing my point. You refuse to tell me how it's any of your business who has an abortion and how they choose to do it. Instead you provide broad and vague rebuttals to something that wasn't even meant to be an analogy. In short, tell me how you have decided that the moral route you have chosen is correct and what right you have to push it on others. Who is to say that they're right on a subject involving one's own human body? Your use of slavery and murder and Hitler is wrong because these are thing's that are only done maliciously and in blatant disregard for others. A late term abortion is usually made to protect someone, either the mother or the unborn child. You talk about abortion as if women think it's this fun thing to do. It's not fun, it's awful, and it's often the hardest decision a woman will ever have to make. And it's none of your business.

  • Anonymous you are failing to see my point once again

    "It's my business because it's my moral duty to speak up when a moral evil is being comitted"

    Your "moral duty"? A "moral evil"?? If you would recall my previous questions to you...I asked who are you to say what is and is not moral? What makes you so morally superior to everyone else that you have the power to decide what is morally "evil" for everyone else? It is not your duty, anonymous, and it's none of your business. I don't really know how else to say this so that you understand. Your opinion is just that, an opinion, and you are certainly welcome to have it. But what makes you think that your opinion should be law? Yes, you have some opinions that are law, I'm sure but this one is different seeing as it directly affects one persons body and not the entire country as a whole. You're throwing around this world morality, but has anyone really defined morality? And if someone did, how could be possibly decide if his definition is correct? The fact is that we can't, which is why problems such of these are, once again, none of your business.

  • Ok Anonymous, I don't know how else to get you to understand

    I've gotta say, I'm about to give up on you. There is obviously no way to get you to answer any of my questions directly which leads me to believe that deep down in your God fearing heart, you know I'm right that it really IS none of your business. And that we should have no room to make vast generalized decisions for the public regarding their own bodies.

    Look, old timer, I don't know what college YOU went to, but there are no Logic 101 classes to my knowledge. I also think that sentences such as "This is just a simple, basic thinking skill that anyone who's take the SAT should know how to do" are strongly discouraged.

    YES!! I felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack throughout the whole episode!

    For some reason I don't think Tony's going to die, I don't know why. At least I really hope he doesn't, I feel like I'll be crushed after watching this show for ten years. I am not a television person but this show really gets me.
