    Wanting to adopt BABIES. Unfortunately what often happens is the child is initially kept because who doesn’t love a baby but often as the child ages they end up back in the system as the mother can no longer cope/afford/ tolerate the child in her life and then you have an older child needing adoption/ foster care.

    I agree it’s the guys responsibility just as much as it is the woman’s. Like you said… it takes two to tango. So the choice also should be mutual for an abortion.

    Not his body it is affecting. Unfair isn’t it? Just as it is unfair so many women have to put up with dysmenorrhea (painful periods)



    Bottom line if you don’t want a woman to abort the baby -TREAT HER RIGHT!!!

    It’s not her body she’s putting an end to. If a woman can force a man to responsibility for the act a man should too. A man has to put his body at risk to raise a child too. I have developed multiple scars and broke bones providing for my kids. Don’t act like men don’t have skin in the game

    I'm Ok with the way that they have restricted fully auto weapons. They are hard to control and you can still enjoy them if you really want to but it does weed out the gang bangers. I find it odd, though, how people want to ban weapons based on nothing more then how they look, like yourself. Semi-auto rifles kill the least amount of people but that's what you go after. AR-15s aren't very powerful but that's what you go after. Semi-auto anything really isn't more than one pull, one bang, but because it has the word "auto" in the name, it scares you. A shotgun would kill more people but they aren't as scary so no one talks about banning them. The idiots that shoot up schools don't use them becaues the news only talks about AR-15s and they look more bad-ass than a shotgun. But no one talks about how the news people bear so much responsibility because they are on the left and because you have a right to your morbid curiousity. They want to sit behind their news desk and pretend that they only tell the news, just like the drug dealer that only gives people what they want.

    Well, first I want to say I think society could continue operating and functioning just fine even if, as a hypothetical, fully automatic guns were legal. I mean, there would probably be somewhat of an increased homicide rate, and the occasional mass killing spree murders would have a higher death toll, but society would continue, and would be stable.
    That being said, I think the ban (or very heavy control) of automatic guns was a good place to "draw the line".

    Many years ago, I had a talk with a 16 year old who said he used to be involved in drug dealing. He said at one point he had a fully automatic handgun that even had a teflon grip to avoid leaving finger prints. (He said he was going to abandon that business because he knew it would likely eventually end up leading to a long prison sentence, or even more likely, him ending up dead. He said at one point he used to wear a bullet proof vest to school because of the danger) He lived in the Northeast in one of the major big cities that has lots of strict gun control laws. The point is, if he could obtain an automatic handgun as a 16 year old, it's probably not too difficult for those with criminal connections to obtain one.

    By the way, he said the police were corrupt in that city and heard several secondhand accounts of police confiscating the drugs from drug dealers and turning around and selling them to another drug dealer.

    A shotgun would NOT kill more people. Effective range is nowhere near that of an “assault rife”, ROF also not close and it has to be reloaded far more often.

    the scarier thing is, cops that plant the drugs they confiscate on others, the war on drugs has gotten so bad that it's guilty until proved innocent

    so has this case hit the judge yet, seems the courts are not fast enough to decide cases like this, as abortion is a time critical procedure

    Treating a woman right has nothing to do with allowing them to commit murder on the fathers child

    In an indoor situation where there are a lot of people, it absolutely would because you wouldn't really have to aim. One shot, one (or more) dead. Reloading doesn't take long and you could blow open any locked door.

    Looks like they are trying to do the same in AL. As expected, RWers don't care about states rights, just their rights.

    You don't have to really aim with an "assault weapon" in an indoor situation where there are a lot of people. Point the gun at the crowd and start pulling the trigger.

    It doesn't matter how long it takes to reload, you're going to have to reload giving people time to get out or jump you

    It has everything to do with it as one of the prime motivators for abortion is poverty. Again and again I am hitting this ingrained belief that women are only seeking abortions because they are “evil” or “sluts”

    She has already had the abortion what the lawsuit is about is suing the medical personnel who administered it (just re read the OP)

    Further investigation and it appears this is an attempt at coercive control and it is not the first time this piece of **** legislation has been used that way either

    Sure. Call Newsom's office. He'll send a van to your house in any state and pop that critter out in your driveway.

    That doesn't "often" happen and if the mother wants the baby dead before it is born she is not going to keep it after the baby can go to immediate adoption to one of the thousands of desperate couples. The vast majority of older kids go back into the home or to other family members. We are talking BABIES here which do not remain long in the system.

    I don't see adoption on your list. Do you believe all women are really this weak?
