Happy (early) 40th, Roe v. Wade

And yet the new Congress is already at it again... Failed VP candidate Paul Ryan has just signed on as a cosponsor for a proposed (read DOA) fetal personhood bill, er, that is, a "one-celled human embryo" rights bill.

I'm so glad they're focused on preserving life... And gun rights.

Well, it's a good thing your economic problems are all sorted out so they can get to this very important business.

its certainly nothing i will be celebrating.
(im not very keen to engage in yet another abortion thread- just sayin)

And yet you posted. And not only posted, but bumped the thread. Interesting.

not too interesting at all.
i wanted to be on record, while at the same time i am not eager to carry on and on in a long back-and-forth in yet another abortion thread.

Oooo-Kay.

Wanna know the best way not to join in on a conversation you won't like?

Don't join in on it at all.

I, too, would like to state that I have no opinion on this matter.

For the record?

For the record, I hate trolls

Then why bring it up? Some of us are willing to comment on reality, you don't have to comment if you don't want to. No one is keeping a record of you not commenting on such issues, so why the hell bring it up? You want to be on record for opting out (with who?) Fine, noted. Good bye.

There's an easy way to avoid a long back-and-forth, and frankly, it's just butt the hell out.

Otherwise, you're welcome to come back and talk about how much of a landmark 40 years has been for Roe v Wade, and how much of a struggle it's been to get here. Or how it's constantly being fought against and attacked, just like the women who are often victims of rape. Meanwhile, this struggle and challenge within society goes on. Some of us want to cry out in victory, some to remind us that there are others continuing on with their ugly attack against a woman's civil rights.

It's simply amazing, we have crazies going nuts about their 2nd Amendment rights, hung up over a an 18th century ordinance "shall not be infringed upon." And yet these are often the same people who have been infringing upon women's (and human) rights from their very onset (sometimes violently). Without risk of changing the subject further, it's worth noting that many people are at least as passionate about women's rights, if not, more then other rights.

No, off the record. In case I have an opinion later.

i wanted to state that i am not super happy about 40 years of wholesale abortion.
at the same time i dont want to enter into another pointless abortion debate.

it really isnt that complicated.

You can get abortions wholesale?

They have them at Costco, but you have to be a member.

Actually it's only for executive members; it's one of those incentives they give

Well, then you probably shouldn't have one.


Pay retail.

Damn it. I opted for a BJ's membership. Turns out they don't have those in bulk there either.

No, it was closer to my house.

I got yer "wholesale" right here. I mean, it's a scientifically proven fact that fetal-personhood-hatred has actually reversed the earth's population clock. Oh, wait...

In case you didn't get the translation of snark... your use of the word "Wholesale" has no meaning to this. Any assumption I make about what you meant by the use of the word "wholesale" (happens in bulk, legal for any reason / time, sold by my private parties and wouldn't occur if illegal) also leads me to the assumption that you have no clue what you are talking about.

I have, but the shipping costs are horrendous. I'll just wait for spring, when I can buy organic free-range abortions at my local farmers market.
