Please read these facts and then decide if you think its OK
MYTHS ABOUT ABORTION



Myth 1. It's "my body".
Busted 1. No it's not. It is a foundational genetic fact that your body has your DNA, your fetus' DNA is different.

Myth 2. The fetus is a parasite.
Busted 2. A parasite, by biological definition, must be a different species. No thinking person would consider apples as parasites of an apple tree. (However a worm in the apple is indeed a parasite). The biological defintion of parasite can be found at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/parasit... . Some committed abortion supporters cling to the etymological definition of "one who is sustained by another without benefit to the host". Taken in that sense, a 6 month old baby is as much of a parasite as a fetus. Only the most despicable monsters in world history killed the very young.

Myth 3. You can't legislate women from getting abortions by making abortions illegal.
Busted 3. Driving while intoxicated is also illegal, but thousands of people are killed by drunk drivers every year - only an imbecile would suggest that we legalize driving drunk because people "will do it anyhow".

Myth 4. You can't tell a person what to do with their body.
Busted 4. Wrong. There are many laws regarding public health and decency (Ex. you can't ride the city bus while in the nude.)

Myth 5. Fetuses aren't human.
Busted 5. 46 human chromosomes couldn't possibly be anything else. Tyrants and slavers throughout history always rationalized their crimes by denying the humanity of their victims. Radical supporters of abortion point out that on rare occasions terrible genetic diseases like Turner's Syndrome cause people to be born with 45, 47 or 48 chromosomes and that these people are "not human". While these genetic diseases have pronounced physical and mental manifestations, they do not change the species of the affected person.

Myth 6. The fetus cannot survive on its own.
Busted 6. Neither can infants - a six month old infant would quickly die left to its own abilities. Again, only history's worst monsters killed infants.


Myth 7. Many Christians get abortions.
Busted 7. Many Christians owned slaves - didn't make it right.

Myth 8. Making abortion illegal would force women who were raped or pregnant through incest or whose health was threatened to give birth.
Busted 8. Before Roe v Wade many states allowed for court ordered abortions for this very specific set of circumstances. A system for quick and condfidential judicial review for terminating these troubled pregancies would ensure the taking of human life has its day in court.

Myth 9. Human eggs and sperm are alive. Menstration and masturbation are the same as abortion.
Busted 9. So are the cells of the lining of our mouth - but like the egg or sperm, they independently could never be the start of a new human being.

Myth 10. The fetus isn't human because it isn't sentient.
Busted 10. Neither are people who are unconscious, and no one would suggest killing a person because they are unconscious is legal.

Myth 11. If you don't like abortions, don't have one!
Busted 11. If you don't like slavery, don't own one! Didn't work in 1865 - the abortion version won't work today.

Myth 12. If abortion is made illegal, dangerous "back alley" abortions will thrive.
Busted 12. The availability and efficacy of modern contraceptives can make unwanted pregnancies as likely as winning the lottery.

Myth 13. You can't support the death penalty and be pro-life.
Busted 13. Any unborn person convicted of a capital crime should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

They are picked up at their homes; the driver is "on call" for the evening, and drives them back home. On average, each man in the car pays the driver $20.

I've read it. Don't like most of it. But the Beatitudes are one of my favorite works of literature all the same (I'm not a Christian). Earlier I asked what people's least favorite part was, and some said the whole thing. Come on guys, there is a good part in every book...So I felt it was only fair to ask this question.

On the Vicks First Defence advert, where the mother shows up her kid by throwing a tantrum, she doesn't pay for or even pick up the articles thrown on the floor by her brat, also on the BT Broadband advert, when the bratty daughter spills all of her toys on the floor with a snotty look, the girlfriend of the bloke who was Nick on My Family just smiles. The trouble is, nobody nowadays seems to think they're responsible for damage or expense caused by their children (and their dogs as well). Am I alone in thinking that parents should pay for or clear up after their offspring or is this an unfashionable point of view nowadays.

Or do you think that for the first time in their lives they will accept the fact that they were just not good enough to win? I know republicans are all complaining just like women during "that time of month" but come on do we really need the headache?

If everything goes as planned, next month I will be filing chapter 7 bankruptcy. I have a free car to drive as long as it lasts, but I will need a newer car fairly soon. How can I get loan for a newer, more reliable car (not neccessarily a brand new car)?

i came home the other day to find these things on the outside of my house, EVERYWHERE. the were mainly around the edges of the house, close to the grass. my dad said he sprayed the lawn with some kind of insect repellent, not sure if that has anything to do with their appearance, but have a look.
