1. Well it is said that breastfeeding is better than bottled milk for brain development. And newborn babies are dependent on their mother’s for survival despite not being inside the mother’s body.
2. Insurance and other family members can help pay for the birth and if she is really lacking resources, the child can be given up for adopted. And grief over death is different from mental trauma from rape.
3. The NIV is the only bible that translates thigh as miscarriage.
4. It could be made Law that while organ donation is optional for the most part, there has to be a certain minimum number of donors per year.
5. Yes teens will always fuck, but you can reduce the number of those that do by teaching abstinence and for those that do, the pregnancy will make the females realize, “Oh I shouldn’t fuck.”
6. Abortion is legal in the US under Roe vs Wade so when that gets repealed, it will go way down.
7. There is a populist right mood in the United States, since the economy is going well, and the unemployment rate is low. You are confusing the corrupt Establishment Republicans which Trump fought against during the primaries, with the right wing populist Republicans that support Trump’s agenda.
1. Did I deny that breastfeeding was preferable to bottle feeding? For fuck's sake you thick dimwit I said it was!
2. Insurance? Great, let's give everyone insurance. It's called "what every developed country has". As for family members, they should not be or feel obligated to put up any money, and with adoption, somebody's still got to foot the bill, and it's really, really sad when a mother has to give her child up for adoption because she literally can't afford to raise her kid. And mental trauma is still mental trauma. Situations change suddenly and an inflexible law would only exacerbate the situation.
3. Which means the NIV is the only translation that takes the Hebrew tradition on which the Mosaic law was based into account, and is therefore the only accurate translation of that passage.
4. So you are okay with forcing people to be organ donors if not enough people volunteer?
All right, here's another scenario. Some guy, let's call him John, develops a form of cancer which is almost certainly fatal without a transplant from a compatible donor. Unfortunately, due to John's circumstances, none of his family are compatible and the only potential donor who can be found is some other random guy named Michael. If Michael provides the needed tissue for the transplant, John will almost certainly survive the cancer. If Michael declines, John will almost certainly die within a few years, possibly even months. Can Michael be legally obligated to provide the tissue samples?
5. I do not object to teaching abstinence. As I said, the only (near-)surefire ways of avoiding pregnancy (and STIs) are abstinence and masturbation. (Well, unless you believe the fables of parthenogenesis.) What is evil is teaching
only abstinence. That has proven to be an utter failure, while comprehensive sex ed works.
6. If the Supreme Court is evil enough to reduce women to being human incubation vats at the whim of male- and fundamentalist-dominated governments (that latter in direct contradiction to the very first part of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom
from religion--freedom
of religion is second), that is on their despicable heads, but if they are so arrogant as even to restrict states from deciding on the legality of abortion within their borders, then they are immediately worthy of impeachment. But even if
Roe v. Wade, and, more relevantly,
Doe v. Bolton and
Planned Parenthood v. Casey are overturned, the major effect will be a shift toward unsafe abortions, putting far more women's lives at risk than under the current legal scheme. The most sensible path is full legalization with all possible efforts directed at reducing the
demand for abortion, such as those that I suggested--and which, I note, you did not respond to, despite my asking as a direct question and citing the relevant forum rule.
7. There is a populist mood. When you look at the policy polls, it's crystal clear that that mood is populist left--but, since the Democratic establishment is utterly incompetent, the right has been able to hijack that populism and trick people into voting against their own self-interest via appeals to racism and xenophobia.
And again, I asked you a direct question. You did not even acknowledge it.
As for the Republicans being friendly toward blacks, THEY RAN THE FUCKING SOUTHERN STRATEGY YOU IDIOTIC ASSHOLE. STOP LISTENING TO DINESH FUCKING D'SOUZA.
