When Congressman John Kyl said that 99% of Planned Parenthood's work was abortions, did he mean it as fact?

childish thoughts?
by 773491 on June 17th, 2008
Dumbass response 773491.
by fearfulkitty on July 2nd, 2008
For something that is a dumbass response there sure seem to be more than a few people who agreed with my answer.
by Marj on July 7th, 2008
unfortunately more than a few people in America don't accept Evolution. This is not an argument, and I was just saying that to consider both alternatives in such important choice with impact on one's life is not childish thinking.
by 773491 on July 7th, 2008
matter of opinion, considering taking a life for your own selfish or emotional issues that has nothing to do with the innocent child seems childish to me.
by Marj on July 8th, 2008
stop using the word child, it is a fetus. I've said this already eight times in this question!!!
by 773491 on July 8th, 2008
Okay you can say it till your blue in the face I am not going to changed my mind no matter how many bs excuses you throw at me. A fetus becomes a child if you do not destroy it.
by Marj on July 8th, 2008
773491 is a dumbass
by fearfulkitty on July 9th, 2008
what a good argument you faith-head.
by 773491 on July 9th, 2008
dumbass
by fearfulkitty on July 9th, 2008
wow what a comeback. Let's have a discussion on kindergarten niveau: Faith-head!
by 773491 on July 9th, 2008
Sry fearfulkitty. And 773491 why are you getting so hateful with me? Did I say you cannot kill "your" children. No I simply answered the question with my opinion. That is what this site is for. If it offends you so much maybe you should not come to the site. Oh and I have no idea what a faith-head is.
by Marj on July 10th, 2008
I'm getting hateful with fearfulkitty, not you. Altough it's annoying me that you are still using the term 'kill children', some people never learn... And as long as you say that you think I'd have the right to abort (if I was a women), I'm fine with that since it is not 'pro abortion', it's 'pro CHOICE.
by 773491 on July 10th, 2008
Like I said, becomes a child. Anyways If you were a woman it would be your choice and I would not knock you for it. Not my place. I simply answered a question on answerbag with the answer I "believe" to be correct.
by Marj on July 15th, 2008
Yes I respect your opinion, I just didn't like it that you called the consideration of an abortion "childish thoughs".
by 773491 on July 15th, 2008
But if you support abortion you are pro abortion, why would you have trouble saying that if there was nothing wrong with it? And why hate the fearfulkitty? And what in the HELL is a faith head? ANd at the end of the day 773491 what are you really protecting? Why do you feel so strongly that a woman has to have the right to choose?
by fearfulkitty on July 15th, 2008
Because this is not what I'm saying. Pro-abortion would be someone who want's to abort every pregnancy that is somewhat unplanned. I accept that it has some moral questions, but I just think it's the right of the women to choose.
You saw that this thread went out of control, I'm glad we could have a somewhat normal discussion in the other one. I said I was getting hateful because you called me dumbass just for my views. I hope we're done with that stuff...
by 773491 on July 15th, 2008
sure
by fearfulkitty on July 15th, 2008
In my opinion for me it would be a childish thought to abort for my own selfish reasons. TO be quite honest that is most likely how I would feel about someone else doing it as well. But, I do not judge on it because I am not them and there is no way for me to understand completely what is going on in there head. I do not judge until I know all of the facts and that is something no matter what can never happen. I believe if you want to do something do it. Don't worry about what others think because at the end of the day it is not about anyone but yourself.
by Marj on July 16th, 2008
that's a good view.
by 773491 on July 16th, 2008
It's a thing that isnt alive. A woman should be able to choose whether or not she wants her whole life to be taken up.
Im sure any man would want that choice. Id give my girl 1000 percent support whatever her decision.
by Gonzo on December 11th, 2008
It most certainly is alive..even if at a cellular level..it's alive. Cells are living organisms & for a pregnancy to occur it is called a Zygote made up of 8 cells, I believe, at the time of implantation into the wall of the uterus. But very much alive. It's been a long time since I studied anatomy but it's not long at all before the baby can experience pain even. From a religious aspect it also has a soul at the time of conception (it would only be 2 cells at that time- a combined sperm & egg). But I realize for those that aren't religious that prob doesn't mean much but anyway, thought I'd throw that out there.
by Bubbasmisty on March 2nd, 2009
yes, the biggest part of the controversy is because of those 'religious aspects'. But since this is about the law and morality, religion doesn't have any authority. We have separation of church and state. As long as those people don't prove that souls exist, their arguments are just not valid.
The other case that can be made against abortion is biological, if the fetus/child can feel pain. That's why thre is a limit up to what time of pregnancy one can abort.
by 773491 on March 3rd, 2009
"A fetus becomes a child if you do not destroy it."
A sperm can become a child if you do not destroy it. Is every man going to Hell for catching it in a napkin and disposing of it?
by Aquatic Eagle on March 3rd, 2009
Yes. Yes they are.
by fearfulkitty on March 3rd, 2009
Wow. So I guess you're against any type of contraception too?
by Aquatic Eagle on March 3rd, 2009
That was a joke. Look, life is precious and I think your "side" is a little too cavalier about ending it. I personally am not worried about an egg or a sperm that fails to connect, the body naturally dumps both so I can't believe that God is angry at us for that...but once an egg is fertilized, the process of life has begun.
by fearfulkitty on March 3rd, 2009
What is morally good about bringing a child into this world who was conceived in a brutal raping by a diseased rapist?
by Aquatic Eagle on March 3rd, 2009
Why is the child responsible for his conception? Many beautiful things come out of horror.
by fearfulkitty on March 3rd, 2009
The child is not responsible for the conception because the child doesn't exist yet.
The mother is not responsible for the conception either. She has already had her freedom taken away from her by her attacker. Why take anymore from her? She should have a choice about whether or not she wants to raise a child born with disease. She should have the choice about whether or not she has to give birth to the child of a rapist.
by Aquatic Eagle on March 3rd, 2009
In your opinion that child does not exist. The victimization has already occurred and there will be many consequences for the victim that they will need to deal with. How does ending a pregnancy make this somehow better?
by fearfulkitty on March 3rd, 2009
Not only in my opinion, in most biologists' professional opinion. Why do you consider a fertilized egg any more of a life than the separate sperm and egg?
by Aquatic Eagle on March 3rd, 2009
I think I answered that already. It has begun the the process of life. Liberals are funny. You object to the destruction of life in the environment, but support it inside yourselves. I really don't get it.
by fearfulkitty on March 3rd, 2009
Okay but why is the fertilized egg the beginning of the process of life? Why isn't the sperm's journey to the egg considered the beginning of that process?
by Aquatic Eagle on March 3rd, 2009
This is how I see it. Sperm is ejected from the male body without male consent if it builds up to a certain level (aka wet dreams). The unfertalized egg is ejected naturally after ovulation by a woman's period. The fertalized egg, if left alone and there is no other natural complication, will develop into a human being. Sure we all have our opinions as to when that fertilized egg will be given legal rights, but the process the leads to a live human has begun.
by fearfulkitty on March 3rd, 2009
Yes but if the sperm is ejected into the female body then the sperm starts its journey to fertilize the egg.
Are you saying that you don't consider the sperm's journey the beginning of the process of life because sperm can be ejected without male consent and in many cases will not fertilize an egg?
by Aquatic Eagle on March 3rd, 2009
I guess. What I think I am saying is that if a man masturbates (and believe me we all do) he is not ending life or interfering with its inception. We can produce more than enough sperm.
by fearfulkitty on March 3rd, 2009
"he is not ending life or interfering with its inception"
Isn't abstinence interfering with inception?
by Aquatic Eagle on March 3rd, 2009
In a way. Sexuality is a lot like nuclear fission. It has to be dealt with responsibly.
by fearfulkitty on March 3rd, 2009
This is bullshit. It's not a living thing. My wife had an abortion recently. It all comes down to what the Bible bashing church are telling you. Science will tell you the truth.
And fearfulkitty, most women masturbate too.
by Gonzo on March 3rd, 2009
So if abstinence is interfering with inception then it should be frowned on like abortion?
by Aquatic Eagle on March 4th, 2009
Abortion should not be frowned upon. It's not really in Britain cos the majority here arent religious.
by Gonzo on March 4th, 2009
I agree but not everyone here does.
by Aquatic Eagle on March 4th, 2009
Its fucking ridiculous. Why not give rights to a fucking blade of grass.
by Gonzo on March 4th, 2009
Neither do most aborted fetuses. Most people that are pro-choice advocate abortions very early in the pregnancy, before a heartbeat is detected.
by Aquatic Eagle on April 20th, 2009
Yes, exactly.
When it has no feeling, cant think, it isnt alive.
by Gonzo on April 20th, 2009
Maybe so, but you know, if people dont want a baby they shouldnt be forced to have one. Every should have a choice.
by Gonzo on April 21st, 2009
I find it absolutely ridiculous how people act like the thing is living straight away. The woman in this question knew she could be pregnant straight away!! She wouldnt have to wait 28 days then suddenly realize oh my god I might be pregnant.
A day after sex it's a nothing. It's a load of cells. Treating it like or even calling it a 'child' is abolutely pathetic.
by Gonzo on April 21st, 2009
According to a pediatrician who has been pregnant, most of the time heartbeats are detected at 10 weeks but can possibly be detected at 8 weeks.
by Aquatic Eagle on April 21st, 2009
Can you not read? Ill repeat what I just wrote maybe you can bother to read it properly.

lol.
by 773491 on April 24th, 2009
Appy-polly-ollogies man.
Im getting too used to these idiots suggesting people shouldnt have a choice.
Isnt America supposed to be the land of the free.
by Gonzo on April 24th, 2009
Supposed to be.
