Besides disagreeing with everything 'spiritwolf' has said i was under the impression that advocating the murder of people was illegal on NS. Given that doctors in the US & elsewhere have in fact been murdered on the basis of such 'opinion' i at least find his comments offensive.

All human beings have the right to control over their own bodies so no chatel slavery (& remember folks defence of that was a feature of right wing xtianity, islam & the rest in the past) but also no biological slavery for women either. Their bodies their lives their right to decide. An egg is not a zygote which is not a foetus which is not a baby much less a 'person'.

Abortion is one way to assume responsibility (rather than just ignoring the situation).

The woman doesn't have to deal with a baby yet, just the pregnancy. She can take responsibility for it by terminating it if she doesn't want to have the baby, or by letting it continue if she does want the baby. Letting it continue when she doesn't want the baby and not making plans for the baby, ignoring the pregnancy and hoping stuff works out, etc. are ways of not taking responsibility.


If she doesn't want the baby, then she should completely avoid the risk altogether, act more responsible and wait for sex until she is in a position to maintain and take care of a small child.

How hard is that?

Is the desire to have sex more important than ending up having to kill a baby?

Sex =/= the consent for impregnation.

The Constitution of the United States of America protects ALL Americans rights to include those that have just been concieved. Women have been literally getting away with murder for far too long now. And yes, I fully intend to curtail this particular problem before more innocent children die. It's called a "VOTE". It is the ultimate use of force. And I am going to use it on you with extreme prejudice.

Hmmm, a couple of things wrong with that.
1. The Constitution says nothing about unborn babies being protected. I dare you to prove me wrong.
2. Define murder and define human. You'll find that killing fetuses is not murder.
3. These fetuses are not children, and if they live, they will most likely be hated, abused, and possibly even murdered by their unloving parents. Congratulations for saving "children" so that they can be tortured. By having these children live, you support their torture.

You should think of the fetuses in a way that they'll be born someday. And children deserve to be raised in a nurturing, peaceful environment. With access to such luxuries as loving parent/s (it's a different discussion), or edible food, clean water, maybe education and a home to return to?

As money's evil, God can't provide these things to people, as by providing money, God would corrupt people. Praying won't feed anyone. Working parent/s will.

I didn't apply. I wanted to all my life but I met the woman who is my wife right now and had to choose between staying here with her and raising a family or joining the WEHRMACHT which I will call it that because It contains the Heer. Wehrmacht is like saying "Armed Forces"

It is not branch specific, but if you need me to then ARMY or HEER is what I wanted to do.

"Armed Forces" "Wehrmacht" Is more appropriate because I wanted to join the "Army" "Heer" OR the "Navy" "Deutsche Marine" because my grandfather was in the Kriegsmarine during the second world war.

The decision in Roe v. Wade explains that the Constitution's various uses of the term "person" could not reasonably be understood as including the unborn. The Constitution of the United States protects the rights of all people in its jurisdictions, and the unborn aren't people.

In North Dakota they are. And they will soon be nationwide. ;)

Agreed. Especially because the people who say "if you get pregnant it is a punishment" turn around and say "babies are wonderful precious things"

The problem is engaging in sexual behavior when you're not in a position to maintain a family in general. If you're not in a situation to take care of yourself and a small child, you're certainly not in a position to make the decision of having sex.

Why?

Because sex has obvious risks. Becoming Pregnant is one of them, and the biggest risk one must be aware of and prepared for.

If a woman would rather kill a baby than wait for marriage to have sex, I'd suggest taking a look at her priorities in life.

oddly enough the majority of adults in the western world have sex before they get married.

that isn't going to change.

The Wehrmacht was the unified armed forces of Germany from 1935 to 1945. It literally does not apply anywhere else, and the fact that you insist it does proves you aren't a German.

A thought just occurred to me. People say that "babies are a punishment for having sex".

Sex isn't a crime. A punishment for something that isn't wrong is... assault.

So a woman is free to kill the "person" that is assaulting her.

In any other circumstance, if a woman is assaulted, she is not found at fault if, in the course of defending herself, the assailant dies. So why is she at fault here?

If the fetus is really assaulting her, the fetus isn't even consenting to it.
