Abortion

We should also do away with jails and all legal systems. Crime can be solved by people beinh morally respondible .
You are right. We wouldn't have a need for them if people were responsible. That is his point about abortion. He didn't say it should be done away with he explained how it could be done away with. Seriously, you and nearly everyone else who have responded have missed that point. He isn't saying get rid of abortion he is saying get rid of what causes the need for it. I think you all saw abortion and then started getting your liberal panties in a wad instead of actually reading what he said.

And I'm saying get rid of gaols becuase they're also unnessasary. I think it is you that has missed my point. I didnt give an option on abortion, I only attemped to draw a parallel to point out the impracticle aspect of what was proposed. Why call me a liberal and be rude?

What I propose is that abortion would not be necessary (mostly) if people acted responsibly and unselfishly. The statement, even if impractical (as you opine), is true nonetheless. Your proposition is also true if people were indeed moral and responsible.

Are you intentionally trying to miss his point? He is explaining how to get rid of all needs for abortion.
And you appear to intentionally be trying to miss the counter-points that people are providing. How about providing something intelligent to the conversation beyond the silly "Why are you missing the point" comments.

Impractical, maybe. But his post is getting a lot of negative criticism. < rant> Why not work on the problem instead of the symptom? Why not try and fix the real issues? This goes way beyond abortion but as a global society we all seem to try and fix the symptom instead of the problem. We do it in education, government, economy, unemployment, etc. We always want to blame something or somebody else. Let's put the responsibility back where it belongs, on the individual, and stop avoiding the actual issues. It's only impractical because not enough people support it. THAT is what makes it impractical. The principle alone is not impractical it is that not enough people care, and that is your (generally speaking) weakness, not a weakness in the principle. < /rant> Sorry, this isn't really just to you, in fact most of it is to the rest of the loons who are too lazy to do anything.

I will go even further. I say let that unwanted children been taken from their irresponsible and immoral mothers (who will be obligated to give birth from the law) and raised from the society in a specialized facilities. Then they will have to work on behalf of that very society. The boys will become soldiers and the girls pole-dancers. The girls who don’t have looks for a pole-dancer and the boys who are too weak for soldiers will be forced to be software developers. Problem solved! Simples. On a more serious note, the human relationships are too complicated and dynamic to fit in the narrow frame you’re trying to put them. The society has to discourage the abortion in any possible reasonable way (financial stimulus, moral norms etc.), but never takes the choice from the parents, ever.

the key word there is 'and' he called me a liberal AND he was being rude by suggesting my underpants where in a particular state causing discomfort. Truth is I'm not a liberal (either big of little L) and im not wearing underpants at the moment. Both our statements are true and both are worthless because neither will ever come to pass. Its nice to think that either might one day though.

Certainly, right now. But, ultimately, if we want to survive as a race: no.

All you godless people ever say is god doesn't exist so that you can justify your actions. If you don't have to answer to anyone then you can't be wrong. How convenient. :-\ Just because you do not believe in Him, does not mean He does not exist.

Actually, I didn't say god doesn't exist.You assumed that I said that. I said that God as a moral authority to justify restrictions on society was a non-starter, because many people do not believe. I don't need to justify anything, these are debating points.

Again, you make the assumption I'm an atheist. Even people who are have to answer to themselves. If the fear Hell/Jahanam is the only thing keeping you on a straight and narrow path, I'd argue you are less moral than someone who does lead a good life and doesn't have this fear. Oh and I'm often wrong.

Yeah, I got it. I was just making fun. Yes it is nice to think it might one day come to pass. If we don't try, then it never will.

You're right. It is "hideous behavior" to try and prevent unwed sex, incest, rape, abuse, etc. How dare religious people do that. Thanks.

It is hideous, yes. How dare religious people do that! 1) According to the bible, rape is something god demands that his followers do when he wants them to. 2) According to the bible, the rape victim along with the rapist should be taken outside the city gates and stoned to death. 3) According to the bible, you can sell your daughter into slavery where she is to "please the man who bought her". 4) According to the bible, a rapist must marry the woman if he gets caught.
