  Nonsense, Heru-ur

  You're peeling out of the squadron, now, Heru-ur. Maybe you should take a walk or have a nice cup of tea or something.

  This is downright vitriolic:

  What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I can tell you have trouble following an argument without twisting the other fellow's words to suit your preconceived purposes; but racist? Fuck girl, all races have babies. (tis the nature of things)

  I didn't twist your words, I quoted you and commented on your argument. I presented a different viewpoint. I challenged your assumptions. I challenged your judgment about blaming girls for unplanned pregnancies, and you continued to blame them, even calling one a "lying ass."

  You also implied that your well-heeled women friends would like to adopt white babies. Maybe I misread it, but I don't think so.

  Anyway, my opinion is that your perspective of this issue is much too rigid, too black-and-white to pass the reality test. You have no solution except that "all killing is wrong" and that "abortion is killing" therefore "abortion is wrong."

  Fine. That's where you stand. That's your right. I find fault with what I deem specious and narrow-minded (and misogynist) arguments to support that stance, but you don't need to defend it to me. However, you dodged all the salient questions I asked you with regard to the unfair judgment and criticism you have leveled at women in this situation, and I think it is unfair rather ignorant.

  In your world, nobody can have sex if there is the least chance of an unplanned pregnancy. There are no foolproof birth control methods save abstinence. Even "sterilization" can fail. Just so ya know.
