Thanks man, you have now joined the ranks of the mobile billboard that drives around the city, that loud guy who wears the sandwich boards at any large public outdoor gathering, and that lady who got hauled off of Airforce One.
why would either of those be OK?
I say your right to choose should be exercised before you lie down. You can choose your actions but you don't necessarily get to choose the consequences. (of course there should be exemptions for rape, incest, health of mother, those are outside the realm of choice)
@ brohammas - Nah man... It just amazes me that so many people who are pro-choice are anti-Vick. I'm just a 'people first' kinda' guy.
@ SjP - Heck no... you have a helpful spot that points out cultural situations that need to be improved.
Some others just 'down' segments of society that they may feel better than - but then hate on segments that they feel are (somehow unfairly) better than them.
Mark is always teasing me about Michael Vick. I love animals and I hate the whole dog fighting thing. For some records, I am pro choice. I am not a woman I will never get pregnant, i got no right to tell someone else what they can and can't do, and if there are consequences down the line, they get to pay them, not me.
Now personally i dont like abortion and when i was younger I wass still pro choice but very anti abortion. Then I got to meet some kids that grew up in a system that was made "for them."
All this talk about giving the baby up for adoption, we don't have a system in place for this type of thing, the one we have is broken, i mean big time. nobody should have to go thru that. So if nobody will be able to properly care for the kid then do what you must.
And talk about hypocrasy, I think Michael Vick should have been punished for what he did. Dog fighting just aint cool, but I don't think he should have be turned into a pariah, I mean Michael Phelps is on his second strike and all he got was an off season suspension.
I guess I missed where Michael Phelps abused animals for sport? I thought he was more into self-abuse.
Vick took living, breathing, feeling animals and made them fight, abused them, traumatized them, tortured them and made money from it. Why wouldn't that deserve jail time?
I've seen this post before and for some reason I let it go. I will say now though that I don't believe that abortions were ever done in the name of entertainment or sport and to compare one to the other is beyond reason.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

Free will cannot be legislated. Whether Roe v Wade is repealed or not - women will always exercise their free will to choose.

Ah, the contridictions (hypocrasy?) of human (liberal?) morality! Gotta love it, no?
