woah i just wanted to know what conservatives looked like like because i have to draw what they would look like for a history project and theirs a bunch of political stuff and long comments

I cant believe a liberal is trying to make fun of how conservative people dress and act when anyone could come up with a list a mile long about the bizarre things liberals do.. tie-die, dreadlocks, tree hugging, destroying the constitution, whining about global warming... you name it!

I agree that people who have abortions don't do so with the mens rea of committing homicide/infanticide. I do not agree that the "real issue" is limiting a woman's liberty. That only becomes the issue once you assume that the fetus is not human nor has any personhood and independent dignity. Where one will fall on the abortion debate necessarily depends on what one's view is of the fetus' humanity or lack of it.

I'm simply responding to those who don't see the many issues behind having an abortion. For one to say that an abortion is simply put in place to kill babies is to look at this issue from one angle or have tunnel vision. If they just think people who have abortions are out to kill babies, then they lack the insight to understand the real issue, which is to limit what a woman can and cannot do.

"Even if the baby was being killed, that baby wasn't alive long enough to have more rights than it's mother."

An odd analysis of "rights" - the longer one lives, the more rights one has? Where is the equality in that? The fundamental issue is whether the fetus is a person or has personhood, if it is, the argument that it should be protected is obvious. If it is merely an extension of the mother (dubious in my view), then pro-choice makes more sense. But dont impugn pro-lifers as anti-woman.

Like I said, my ancestors worked hard. We deserve to stay in the country WE built. It's ironic, because your people were the lazy ones, making money of the backs of others, but I should leave?

i didnt tell you to leave i was just reminding you that it was an option and that nobodys forcing you to live in america, if you dont like capitalism then dont live here, and if you do choose to leave i would suggest canada its got everything you liberals want, nationalized healthcare, gun bans, and if you decide your to lazy to work the canadian government will give you taxpayers money

[DeeSee25]

yea I'm pretty sure you were the one who told me to LEAVE the country right? You'll get an answer when you stop being a hypocrite.

[dergin38467]

[DeeSee25]
