And what gives you the right to do that, Jon?<br /><br />Note that <i>you</i> can't be drafted in this way. The government can't use your body to keep a child alive, against your will. You can't be hooked up to a medical device involuntarily, even if a child needs your blood or kidneys to survive.<br /><br />But you want to give a fetus special rights that a person doesn't have? Indeed, you want to take away rights women have in order to give special rights to fetuses?<br /><br />Note that we don't have the draft anymore. But either way, before you take away someone's rights, you'd better have a <i>very</i> good reason. Do you have a good reason here? Or do you just think of childbirth as a woman's punishment for having sex?<br /><br />I think children are more important than that. I think children should be valued, should be wanted - indeed, should be cherished. And I think women are more important than that, too - and fully capable of deciding for themselves whether to have a child or not.<br />Bill Garthrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552459555883204060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379287241318002122.post-61589504047131833142015-10-09T10:38:59.148-05:002015-10-09T10:38:59.148-05:00Thought you mind find this of interest, considerin...Thought you mind find this of interest, considering your illustration...http://www.reallygoodcomics.com/2012/11/pro-abortion-argument-countered.htmlJon Dykstrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867992075746045379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379287241318002122.post-73090076230080401062012-05-24T11:19:57.507-05:002012-05-24T11:19:57.507-05:00"Funny, but weird, too, isn't it? 77% of..."Funny, but weird, too, isn't it? 77% of Americans think that abortion should be legal in some or all circumstances, but only 41% consider themselves "pro-choice."<br /><br />As Bill Maher once said, "Never underestimate the marketing ability of the Republican Party and the stupidity of the American people."Jeffnoreply@blogger.com
