    Taking a life is murder, but that's not the issue. The issue is when life begins.

    Mike - typical white guy Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

      I just think any "right" to an abortion should be actually defined in the legal code somewhere

      How do we know what specific rights need to be codified? When the right people tell us? Or is that some sort of hat trick? I mean we can't codify every single right can we?

      The ones which are not specifically defined in the actual text of the constitution. You know, the ones which the actual text of the constituion specifically leaves up to the states and to the people.

        And that's why we'll never resolve the issue. Different people have different ideas as to where that line should be drawn. The basic argument is as old as we are: who is human, who is not, whose death is a matter of consequence, and what are the consequences of killing them?

          No, the issue is which institution in our society has the proper authority to legally define when life begins. The federal judiciary has no such constitutional authority. Only the congress does, or the states, or the people. The judiciary has no authority to make law.

            Of course, being a superior being, as you are, it's not necessary for you yourself to do other than stereotype. Or pay too much attention to the failures of the stereotypes you insist upon projecting onto others.

            But, the fact is, and as we *all* know, abortion is one of those issues clearly recognized and understood by all to be a "liberal" .... hmmm, sacrament. Certainly, one *can* find "conservatives" who pro-abortion. And one *can* find "liberals" who are anti-abortion. One can even find atheists who are strongly anti-abortion. But these are pretty much aberrations. If you had cared to actually read what I wrote ... but why would you, being superior, as you are? ... I expressed the expectation that you are pro-abortion, while very much leaving open the possibility that on this issue you deviate from your regular leftism.

              No, you are not dragging me into another retarded conversation about abortion where your premise is that the life of the mother is not relevant to the overall issue. And for the record RoOke is wrong. When it's life is not at all part of the issue. Consider it life from the moment the sperm start swimming. It has nothing to do with the fact that there are two lives involved in the issue, not just one. Well actually that doesn't make sense since you have to consider the fetus a life to have the issue involve two lives, but anyway I think you should get my point.

                When you point to the aberrant action of an individual and portray it as indicative of a culture, while expressing approval of the aberrant actions within your own culture, you have to expect someone to call you on it. I'm not pissed, I'm simply pointing out that you are a hypocritical tool, you lack even a modicum of critical thinking skills, and you seem pathologically disinclined towards introspection.

                  No, that's the distraction that pro-abortionists use to pretend we don't know when an individual human life begins. edit: I think this is will be where a pro-abortionist will imagine that the fact of miscarriages ... and of twins ... somehow means that abortion is not the deliberate killing of an innocent human life: bluntly, murder.

                        Well hell, if I'd have known you had the power to decide when life begins, I never would have made that statement. You should probably let the world know your final decision so they can clear up the whole abortion issue.

                          So that means all of them? You think we can codify all our rights? Or do you mean that if they are not codified then we don't have them? So if it has not been specifically written that I have the right walk around on my hands then I don't have that right?

My POV stipulates that the fetus is always life, period. When I said you were wrong I meant wrong in what my perspective is since you replied to Stans post to me.

                                      WTF indeed. Adnan probably isnt getting enough.

                                        To be serious for a moment, she probably isnt. (If she is a Christian she isnt an Infidel in Islam)

                                        No, in that case she's a dhimmi. And that means that she's still a lesser individual.

                                          If exposing something is ignorance and bigotry then I am afraid we all are suffering from it.

                                          If you read I am not targeting you as individual since SB members don't consist of you only.

                                          Yes. Exactly. What you routinely expose is your ignorance and bigotry, and we are all suffering from it. Congratulations. Recognizing you have a problem is the first step to a cure.

                                          I do read, and, as your reply was to me, you were obviously including me in the group. I was merely stating that you should not include me as part of the group that makes sweeping generalizations about Islam and its believers. If you truly meant all members of the SoapBox, you were including yourself, and either being unusually honest, or an idiot. Guess which one my money's on.
