you cant count on a population to become more responsible. back in the days before modern medicine and technology, survival of the fittest would help with this problem. now any irresponsible idiot can live til they are 100.

Don't forget social spending. Get rid of welfare and a lot of irresponsible behavior would go away - not just reproductive irresponsibility.

So then do we spend what we spent on welfare on jails and more police force as anarchy will prevail. We can't even come close to employing those who want to be employed. You act as if it is 1999 and anybody that can work could find a job.

It never leads to anything good, which is not something you can say about other rooms on the board.

Do people go to a political board and discuss horse racing?

that isnt a good reason to close the room though. It says "politics/society" so you know what you are going to get when you click the link. some people enjoy bitching about political opinions. i kind of enjoy getting Riot all riled up.

I'm all about the least amount of censorship as possible.

Me too.

The description even says "flame-war fodder". He means incendiary emails, lest anyone think that was a Dahoss-style perversion reference.

I'm for the least amount of censorship also. But it's a horse racing board. There is more "discussion" about this sh.it than people talking about racing. Probably not what Byk had in mind when he started the board.

The two boards I read aren't helped out by the politics rooms, they take away from the board.

I'll ask again, do people go to political forums to discuss horse racing?

OK - I like statistics. None of these tell us how many of the abortions were medically necessary to save the mother's life or were necessary because of a rape-caused pregnancy.

The racial composition is irrelevant to the question of whose life should be preserved, obviously. All new life is precious, and every individual has the same right to live.

We already know that abortion is used for unintended pregnancy. The question is how many really were necessitated by the need to save the mother's life or because a crime was committed where the woman never would have consented to the act in the first place.

I cannot possibly understand how so many people have an unwanted pregnancy. there are tons of ways to prevent it.

get on the pill, take it at the same time every day, and use a condom... and in only the rarest of rare circumstances will someone become pregnant. certainly not half of all cases. maybe less than 1% of all cases.

if you cant do the above and dont want to get pregnant than dont have sex. or live up to your responsibility.

abortion is plain disgusting (obviously cases that occur from a crime or when its a health risk are different). but unfortunatly it is neccesary because we are filled with a population who are irresponsible. men and women. all they think about is now now now.

I got the solution, we vote on it and if the Pro-Lifers win then no more abortions HOWEVER a woman still can choose not to have the baby and it is assigned via lottery to one of the lucky winners that voted to eliminate abortions.
