N.J., I’ll go you one better. Since women have no way of knowing when they conceive, all women would need to lose all rights to do things known to potentially harm a fetus or cause an early miscarriage, like: drink coffee, lift heavy objects, exercise, smoke, drink alcohol, eat sushi, eat luncheon meat, etc. If the rights of the fetus really do trump the woman’s, this is the future we can look forward to. Guess it’ll make it easy to keep us barefoot in the kitchen, no?

A woman can have many children. A child only has one mother.

From what I’ve read in various reports, the 13-year-old in this case is learning disabled and effectively illiterate. It sounds as this his mental age is considerably younger than his physical and he truly does not understand that he has a cancer that will kill him if left untreated. The first chemotherapy treatment made him sick enough that he decided he didn’t want another — and that’s when his mother went looking for alternatives. After seeing her (the mother) interviewed on CNN, I’d say she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed either. My personal inclination is to say that when people that dumb are making choices to remove themselves from the gene pool we should let them, but I hate to see any kid die a truly awful death thanks to his parents’ ignorance.

Again the idea that being pro fetus is being pro life is totally false particulary if the other life involved is TOTALLY expendable. To the pro fetus bunch, a woman LOSES her total constitutional rights to “life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness” something the blastocyct brigade is always flinging around to refute right to choice, the moment of conception. There is one person whose life can be tossed away in all cases according to the anti-abortion crowd, and that is the woman’s. She is subhuman according to the anti-abortion crowd the moment she conceives, as she losses all rights and the unborn child take them.

Yes the private sector spends the money much better. Like on subprime mortgages,running up huge credit card debt (90 percent of Americans have more debt than annual income) and my favorite negative savings.

Its largely the private sector that causes economic recessions and depressions and historically has never done a very good job getting out of them. The government has always had to intervene before greed and panic tore the country to pieces.

I wonder if TVD’s feelings extend to “faith-based” charities as well???

TnGelding: I accept your primise about contraceptives. Albeit that growing cells does not look like a child does not diminish the outcome of a human being. Flesh and blood! It is MORE than a dog, cat, or any other animal you will send people to jail for harming.

Cpyleft: You are so correct! They are more intelligent than I am. However, the words moral coming from a progressive’s mouth is oxymoronic.
Patriotic to the American way and constitution I am, but to make law instead of legislate laws is anarchy like the liberal way.

For instance, how many times does the homosexuals in california have to be told by the citizens that marriage is between a man and a women? You want everyone to recognize homosexuality as normal…nope is not.

Atlast KOTUS can place law makers in the supreme court and lawfully force me to accept homosexuality as normal…it will never happen.

You will stick to your approbate mindset I am sure.

Growing cells are not a child. But that doesn’t make it any less immoral, especially with the contraceptives available these days. Let’s strive to make every pregnancy a wanted one and to see that every child is loved, nurtured and protected.
