And the more that Joe Biden talks, the more that becomes apparent.

Please point out where he said anything of the sort.

Your petty insults only make you look small. Make a cogent argument maybe?

Never said that. Please show me where I did.

Maybe instead of killing the unborn we could simply ask women to be responsible and use birth control?

You guys are soooo literal lol :lol:

The very point that you are arguing against a woman choice is indicative of this position.

Further the fact that I noted that surely some middle ground may assist a more egalitarian position going forward .. and it was summarily dismissed as irrelevant .. also is indicative that you consider a womens autonomy irrelevant.

Do you have any other input to present that would indicate that you are in fact supportive of a womens right to control what happens to her own body?

I support a woman's right to her own body until another life is at issue. Especially since we have plenty of birth control at hand.
Why do we still have so many abortions?

There's a whole thread here about ensuring that women have agency and how they should be able to make their own choices. Ending their child's life unilaterally is not a valid choice.

That has been my position on this issue from Day One. If people cannot be bothered to spend $30 for a box of condoms and a tube of spermicidal foam then they should not be engaging in sexual activity.

We still have a lot of abortions, Sarge, because far too many people are irresponsible. Sadly, we cannot enforce responsbility.

I imagine 100 years from now people look at abortion like we now look at slavery.

I think male sterilisation is the way forward ;)

I think as most males of the species are fertile 24/7 they should take responsibility for fertility .. either take sperm control pills ;) or get vasectomies ;)

We should be targeting the problem ;) no?

Well it all helps - especially if we all work together :)

Ive mentioned many times before that I am not pro abortion, and would far prefer people to be responsible. Its called consequences .. and Ive always taken responsibility for mine ;)

But as I said upthread .. I understand there are exceptions and I have zero support for militancy or militant one size fits all solutions. Why? Cuz they are inflexible and ineffective for the most part.

I did however like the article Wosa shared over the page that talked about taking a more collaborative and less adversarial approach to the issue of abortion.

Again its about that age old chestnut .. that sadly so few ever truly effectively master ..

But definitely worth giving a red hot crack ;)

No .. I just said I want people to be responsible adults

Can you not read?

I think that you focus your mitigation efforts where the greatest vulnerability lies ;) and thats with the male of the species.

You fuckers are fertile 24/7 .. lets start there ;) is what I am saying :P

Lets close that loop ;) so to speak ;)

AND women can do their part .. take birth control or get their tubes tied .. or what have you

Birth control is a win win from where I am sitting ;)

I've already solved this one.

All we need is the Acme (TM) "No Swimmers" male contraceptive - and/or the Acme (TM) "ContraEgg" female equivalent - added to the mains water supply. Effects of both are permanent unless and until a counter-agent is deliberately sought out and ingested by whoever wants to either father or mother children.
Newsflash: the word "irony" doesn't mean "a bit like iron" :roll:

Shockingly, some people have claimed that I'm egocentric... but hey, enough about them

Of course. Can you not read? You fucker?

When there's no cogent argument, go for the ad hominem.

That is also something I have been advocating for a long time--vasectomies are easy to get and don't have a long recovery time. I know this from direct personal epxerience.

Victimisation at its best no doubt

Alas the abortion issue remains on the table and yes that is the soundest way forward ;)

Who's up for demanding that women act as rational adults and use birth control rather than using murder to do the job?
