Again, tif's opinion on what should be allowed does not necessarily equal what he thinks is ok. They are 2 separate ideas.

Colossal TV Show thread

i'm way behind on this, but i just finished season 1 of true detective. loved it. i think it's one of the best seasons of TV i can remember. and i loved the ending. even though i am still firmly on the side of the philosophies of old Rust, it was a superb way to challenge those beliefs. the only iss...

it's odd to me that people typically get more myopic as they get older. it should be the opposite.

I'd make the law so you have to have the accused stand trial and you could have the abortion if you wanted while the trial was ongoing. If it is found out you lied, and you weren't raped, then some large fine would be in order. this is only IF you wanted it to go to trial, right? otherwise, the mor...

Through discussion, debate, etc. one can change their world view as far as politics and socio-economic issues go. I am an example of that. Abortion is a moral question plain and simple. Do you (the royal you) think that killing an unborn child is murder? Or to phrase it another way for the 'when do...

So if you outlaw abortions do people really think they will never happen? Do we want woman going to some back alleyway butcher? The moral point is abortion is wrong, ok, fine. I somewhat get that point but making it illegal would have so many terrible consequences, one of those not being stopping s...

babies still get intervention at 36 weeks. at any given week, some survive and some don't. but more importantly, the "medical intervention" qualifier is arbitrary. a baby born full term is incapable of survival on its own. whether it's a boob or a feeding tube keeping them alive, they still need he...

Not to mention, the process for determining if it was officially rape would probably outlast the pregnancy
that's all that was needed. unless you'd support the abortion of a fetus after a 39 week trial proves guilt.

Fetal viability refers to not needing medical intervention to survive outside the womb. It differs from pregnancy to pregnancy, and has little to nothing to do with medicinal advances. Generally, however, the point at which viability reaches better than 50% probability is around week 24-25. babies ...

So it would have to be officially determined a rape by a court? Or would charges be enough? An absurdly high number of women don't report rape. If a woman is raped, then finds she's pregnant, I don't think she should have to be required to go through with charging the man with rape in order to end ...

i have a thermaworks thermapen. it was very expensive (100 bucks or so), but it is awesome and durable. i wish the probe was a little thinner, though. if you're cooking a turkey burger (for instance) you'll get some juices leaking out when you poke it.

I doubt that anywhere near 37% of millenials believe that abortion should be illegal outright. And I don't think anyone believes that abortion is necessary moral, nor that it should be used as birth control. But, I'm not a pollster.

Well, we were talking about abortion as a whole. When it comes to late term abortion, I certainly think there should be (and is) a cutoff to where the point of no return is except for certain circumstances. I don't know where the cutoff should be because I don't know enough about it. I think morall...

No the people that see it the same have zero knowledge or understanding about how the medical field works.

So frankly there is no more reason for me to even try and talk about this topic.

so basically, my lifetime tax dollar contribution to abortion has been somewhere around less than a penny? and those abortions have been a result of rape or incest?
