oh, not to mention that personal freedom was about my health and actual life. Pregnancy can be risky business, and I reject the notion that the presence of a fetus means my ability to decide whether I live or die is less important. My life (and health) is not less important.

What duty? Pregnancy is a fact of biology, not a mandate.

You don't seem to have a lot of consideration for the life of the embryo, Balter.

Seems to me that we'd all be a lot better off with less talk about liberty and individuals, and more talk about duty, obedience, and the collective.

sigh. I got into a fight with my brother because he wouldn't lift the toilet seat to pee.

Ask yourself for just a minute: why is it that one side of the abortion debate is talking about our duties to others, the love we owe to our children, the need to protect the weakest among us, etc. and the other side is always talking about MY 'rights', MY 'autonomy', ME ME ME.

or they could just share one from Faz.Alam

sigh. It is accurate. Ebola does spread via aerolization from human to human. The study was transmission from pig to macaque; Not all animals carry an infection in the same way. Pigs show way more respiratory involvement, so they expell more virus particles through sneezing, etc. (There is also a possibility that…

The campaign has been an absolute success.

It didn't help that the dealerships were WAY overcharging them for the cars, which were almost all used.

Damn.

I actually view many left wingers and much of the Democratic Party to be hostile, or at times, condescending, or harmful, towards women.

How can you expect a police officer to "walk the beat" through the ghettos?

I guess the biggest is do they have any weight requirements? (you don't have to answer if it makes you uncomfortable - but it's been one of my big concerns)

....there are adults who can't fend off abductors or assault. Are you suggesting those adults shouldn't be left unattended in public or private?

why not?

The article also goes on to say how the kids started playing near a road, in the water at the edge of a lake at the park, and climbing on a big concrete sign. Any of these kids could've been injured or even drowned.

I'd like to hear more about this, actually, if you're willing to share.

The pro choice solution would have been to have those adopted babies killed before birth so it's not a better moral stand point, is it?

Yeah, at minimum it would be nice to see a little more...overlap, so to speak, instead of a cut-off exactly at a particular size. I happen to fit plus size tops, but straight size pants. (thank god I found a company that sells a straight size 16 jeans. - yay! Of course, it means all my jeans are just different colors…
