    I don't know if they just give away norplant, also planned parenthood isn't everywhere, they should give it out in the schools,

    An alternative to your post, but similar in thought:

    People are lazy by nature, there are lots of different methods of getting a job and even more excuses and reasons for why people don't want to.

    So should our governments fund lazy dead beats that won't get a job by giving them a nice cushy living for the rest of their life? People know if they don't work, their standard of living will be low. Without consequences, people will never take responsibility for their actions. People know that children are the consequence (whether wanted or not) of having unprotected sex. Why should a baby with a heartbeat have to pay the price for the lack of responsibility of their parents?

    So you're advocating leaving millions of newborn babies with lazy dead beat irresponsible parents?

    Sounds like a recipe for a great community! :D

    Even if you force people to have babys as you guys seem to want to do, how are you going to force people to look after them and care for them. You all have some fantastically utopian ideas, but no idea how to put them into practice.

    I love the way you all advocate having unwanted kids to 'teach' people lessons when you can't force them to look after it!

    Life ends when the heart no longer beats. Life begins with a heartbeat. At five weeks, a human baby has a heartbeat. Absense of a heartbeat is death. Presence of a heartbeat is life. Just because it doesn't fit your agenda doesn't mean it isn't true. If I were taking your position, I wouldn't want to hear or accept the facts either. Makes them no less factual.

    Ah, so it wasn't a browser issue, you were intentionally trying to be obtuse. Gotcha ;)

    I'm not talking about life, I'm talking about what makes something human. Are you vegetarian?

    Still waiting, you can't think of one can you :p

    I'm not advocating Hitler's approach; kill 1.4 million babies per year. Is that still your position?

    Matt you'll never get a real answer from Gtech because he doesn't have one ... he's advocating leaving millions of babies with unresponsible, dead beat, no job having, drug addict, single-parent homes.... you know, where they won't be mistreated, starved or beaten! :D

    Then onces those babies turn 15-16, join gangs and start doing drugs - gtech will be happy to send them to prison, or better yet, just send them all to the chair...

    Duly noted, you are not interested in a baby's life. No, I'm not vegetarian. Life makes "something" human. Absence of life leaves you with a corpse, or a murdered baby.

    I've offered many, but you can't expect someone who doesn't want to see to pretend not to be blind.

    By that definition a dead bug is a murdered baby, you'll have to come up with something better than that :p

    I've read them, though apart from adding them to Bush's army, that I guess he'd have to pay for out of taxpayers $$$ I've not seen anything that would work

    Is that the kind of people you and your girlfriend were? You've gone through the experience, so I'm guessing you are speaking from your own experience?

    So you are a deadbeat, unresponsible, no job having, drug addict who comes from a single-parent home? Don't be so hard on yourself ;)

    Yeah I noticed, I'd love to live in the land that he lives in, it's a shame more us can't take the drugs he's been taking :p

    He kind of reminds me of a communist with all these 'theories' and 'idea' but none of them would ever work in practice.

    Don't you agree Red-Tech? :p

    Are you saying a baby is not human? I guess one would need to convince themselves that a baby with a heartbeat isn't human, in order to justify supporting the murder of 1.4 million babies. I wonder if that's what hitler did to convince himself?

    I thought the original comment was pretty low. Categorizing everyone into the lowest possible group for having an abortion. I didn't paint the picture, he did. If he's going to put everyone that has an abortion into such a group, he puts himself there as well.

    Yeah right, I think you were the only person who read that into it. It's a shame you can't have a debate without making comments like that.
