Our abortion laws differ by state. You can get an abortion anywhere in Australia, but only in ACT and Victoria is it by demand / for any reason. In other states (like NSW) it is legal as long as you provide a reason. In practice, AFAIK, it’s relatively accessible and easy to obtain an abortion in all states, in the early stages.
I know it’s Wiki, but this page has an up-to-date and pretty good run down on the different states, but as per the map, I’d only consider two states as purple, with the rest being red. And of the two that are purple, one became purple only in 2008, and the tiny state of ACT in 2002.
It’s obviously a sarcastic remark pro-choicers. They are open to all opinion, having open-mindedness, understanding situations. Pro-life people are more likely to shove they’re opinion down other’s throats, feeling everyone else is wrong, this comment just states it’s alright to do what you believe - don’t force your religious or narrow-minded opinion onto others. To not criticize others for their choice.
Don’t like country music? Then don’t listen to it.
Against religion? Then don’t practice it.
Don’t like dogs? Then don’t own one.
Against abortion? Then don’t have one.
One minute ago I read a thread where OP seemed to want to tell Warren Buffett:
“Think your taxes are too low? Just pay more!”
I’ll bet money that the very same people agreeing with the second quote are among those infuriated by the first.
The same fallacy is at work in each case; it’s more of a moral confusion than a logic error. I wish it had a special name (e.g. “Foozgakkle!”) so that one of these pompous idiots crawls out of his spider-hole, we could just say
i have always found this an interesting topic and like every one else i have my own ideas but there are a few facts that are always going to be true if abortion is made illegal
only the lower class or alone and scared will not have assess to safe abortions (this is how it was before)
leading to back ally work or more unwanted children
who will care for these children… true the healthy new born of one race not mixed will get homes but you only have to look at the overwhelming number of children in foster care to see what will happen to the rest
if we truly wish to lower the number of abortions we need better sex ed and cheap easy to assess birth control telling hormonal teen to just not do it will not prevent any thing never has and never will the only differences now is we have less girls going to take care of sick aunt for 6 m, moms of 15 year girls suddenly having a late life child and, billy and sue getting married super quick and she has a 10 pound preemie
so very true a family member of mine had a abortion because the baby did not have a brain and would have died right after birth but because the baby had a heart beat the doctor at the hospital would not do the abortion. She had to go to a Clinic on the way in some ladies were very cruel
The first time you’ve opened a zombified thread without realizing it? The first time you’ve posted in a zombie thread? The first time you’ve been the first person to post that a thread IS a zombie?
The first time a thread that I am subscribed to came back as a zombie! And I guess #2 & #3 up there too as well. #1 - HA, done that a bunch of times! :smack:
