    And.... he is certainly off to a good start regarding the environment.......

    The title "Pro-Life" should include a desire to also protect the planet itself...... that one hundred percent of unborn children will depend on!

    I am truly glad that Mr. Justin Trudeau is proving that things will be different under his leadership.

    I saw the documentary "Cowspiracy" a week or so ago on Netflix...... and was rather shocked by all the new information that I had not heard previously.

    """"The title "Pro-Life" should include a desire to also protect the planet itself...... that one hundred percent of unborn children will depend on! """


    Good point!


    You are correct and isn't it funny that most so-called "Pro-lifers" think that protecting the environment is just a Democrat/Liberal conspiracy. ..they refuse to see the need for clean air and plenty of water.

    Most Pro-Choicers do realize that "Pro-Lifers"" ONLY care about the life of the fetus and that is ONLY because they can use it to control women...they care nothing for this fetus once it's born.......

    My daughter forced me to watch a large portion of the MMVA's yesterday evening.......
    (Much Music Video Awards).... and it is obvious that a high percentage of young
    people consider P. M. Justin Trudeau to be one of the coolest political leaders on earth........

    ... frankly I agree with them........

    and even though I joined his political opponents.... it was not because I dislike him at all......
    it is because the Conservative Party has a veteran who I am willing to go to extreme
    lengts to attempt to set him up so that he is even more tempted than he already is......
    to enter the Conservative Party leadership race.

    This is certainly an interesting angle on the whole question.

    While the presence of thalamocortical fibers is necessary for pain perception, their mere presence is insufficient—this pathway must also be functional. It has been proposed that transient, functional thalamocortical circuits may form via subplate neurons around midgestation, but no human study has demonstrated this early functionality. Instead, constant SEPs appear at 29 weeks’ PCA, and EEG patterns denoting wakefulness appear around 30 weeks’ PCA. Both of these tests of cortical function suggest that conscious perception of pain does not begin before the third trimester.

    Please explain how anything could experience something that it does not have the ability to experience?

    Perhaps the answer is in the existence of the Thalamus vs Cerebral Cortex but......

    The Silent Scream has been shown to be fake a million times....do you really think resurrecting it multiple times will change that? NO, it won't.


    SO what if the fetus feels pain? SCIENCE proves it doesn't but so what if it does...

    It CAUSES pain in the woman it's in and just like YOU, she doesn't have to put up with another inflicting her with pain she didn't consent to..

    You sure seem fine with women experiencing pain so it just goes to show I'm correct, Anti-Choicers ONLY care about that "precious life" BEFORE it's born...not at all after it's born.

    Not to mention the pain the fetus would feel being squeezed through a 10cm hole (the dilated cervix) and down the birth canal......

    P. M. Justin Trudeau has just taken this whole debate up to a whole new level.


    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has just made a serious error........ that will divide "his" Liberal Party into two groups........... those who at least empathize with the Pro-Life movement.... .and those Liberals who are so politically correct that they have nothing but contempt for anybody who disagrees with their own personal views.

    My wife is Pentecostal..... she is extremely Pro-Life.... and although I personally understand and to a significant degree empathize with the Pro-Choice Movement.......... if Charles McVety has understood P. M. Trudeau's proposal properly........... then P. M. Trudeau has just torched and burned his Liberal Party and handed the 2019 election to Conservative Leader Mr. Andrew Scheer, (who incidentally was my #2 choice in the leadership campaign after Mr. Kevin O'Leary)!

    Pretty much P. M. Justin Trudeau's response to everybody who disagrees with his own
    personal opinion on the subject of abortion. (Or could it be that this is what some of his advisors
    told him to say)??????

    Your title is silly.

    Why do you want to discriminate against women who have had children?

    If that's "Christian" no wonder intelligent people are against it.

    I am fairly certain that your statement is incorrect and I believe that better and better science will confirm it to be possible for the foetus to experience pain much earlier after conception than we tend to imagine.

    Is this belief based on NDE experiences you read about or YOUTUBE?

    Actually.... both of those sources of evidence as well as much, much more!

    But my goal...... is a paradigm shift in the economy of the USA that will benefit women..... even more so than men...... which will give opportunity to the seventy percent or so of women who felt pressured into having an abortion......... to be able to afford to deliver..... and raise their baby..... even in cases where the father lacks a sense of responsibility or natural affection for their own child........ and for the mother of their child!


    Near death experiencer shown no condemnation for women who choose....
