The Big Cat

Agree except for bolded. The "left" (aka those who believe abortion should stay legal) has the opposition SEVERELY outnumbered.

Well well well. Ask and ye shall receive. Emmit Smith yesterday on his time in the National Football League: “Knowing what has started to come out in terms of the evidence of guys having mental issues right now, it concerns me, especially when you’ve carried the football more than anybody in the National Football League and have more yardage than anybody in the National Football League,” he said. “That means I probably got hit more than anyone in the National Football League, so why shouldn’t I be concerned?”

Nobody has acknowledged how getting an abortion might actually be the responsible thing to do. While the pregnancy might result from irresponsibility, that doesn't mean it must be compounded by bringing an unwanted child into the world, especially if somebody doesn't have the means to support it. Sure, adoption is always an option, but if that's the solution, I think it's a hell of a message to send to the women out there that the consequence of having pleasure sex as if there should be any to begin with) is carrying a !@#$ing human in your abdomen for 9 months. Meanwhile, the consequences for the man she had said pleasure sex with are...wait...they're...hold on...nope, can't really think of any. Why must it be her burden?

Step one: collect underpants. Step three: profit.

There's a very very very shortlist of people who can subsist a "baby" when it's growing inside it's mother. That list grows infinitely once it pops out. At that point, others actually have the option to help keep it alive. Before then it's mom, all mom and only mom.

How bout once it's out of the womb--once its existence no longer depends on its host. Say a woman unknowingly kills the "baby' inside her--either she doesn't know she's pregnant, or she has an accident, takes a medication, something, and the "baby" is killed, that does that mean she should be brought up on manslaughter charges??

I think we have our answer.

To the guy talking about stabbing cells in the "brain" while they "breath?" Yes. Yes, I did.

Do you pull the car over and say a prayer every time a bug splats your windshield? Or are they different?

Why do you think abortion should illegal?

That's your reasoning? And when a mother's life is at risk without an abortion? That's just the way the cookie crumbles? A father must lose his unborn child and his wife because of...^this?

Abortion should be illegal then? In all cases? With no exceptions?

Oh, I understand. I find it far too complicated to have a problem with it, but I believe it's categorically absurd to ban it.

Ha, had the exact same reaction to the 70-75. That's a fair point, but one that discredits the argument to outlaw...except (and quite reasonably so). Seems to me the only rational approach is to just make it legal.

Are you trying to be a smart ass? Or are you trolling?

Never mind your little revision there, you're saying the capacity to pay for medical care is a matter of intelligence. I guess we're also dealing with birth control medication only as a means to prevent pregnancy, which it's not--but that's a nit picky critique that misses the point. Now my question is: unless it's a life-saving medication, should insurance cover it? For example: I take a synthroid every morning. In March my TSH level was measured at 282--literally off the charts (normal range is 0-4). My basal metabolic rate, while exercising, was lower than what a normal person's would be...while sleeping. If I stopped taking it, I'd be cold all the time, I'd lose a lot of body hair, I'd talk slow, move slow, would have decreased muscle enzymes, wouldn't be able to effectively exercise and I'd likely gain 30 pounds. But I probably wouldn't die. Should my insurance cover my daily medication? And if my insurance dropped it, and I couldn't afford it, does that make me fat, listless AND stupid?

FiSD: Its' a woman's choice, it's between her and her doctor. LABZ: They can make the choice, but they're too stupid to do anything. So is this one of those if you want to eat meat, you should have the gall to kill the beast yourself deals? She's too stupid because she can't perform an abortion on herself or medically advise herself that it would be the prudent action? You're not being clear as to where "too stupid to do anything about it" factors in...

So how did you arrive at the "too stupid to do anything about it" part?

"The football" "The National Football League"

For the sake of discussion, could you link to what that whiny little B word said?

Now that's funny... What conclusion? That what he said marginalizes rape victims? It's quite logical. If you say "legitimate" rape, you acknowledge the existence of non-"legitimate rape," thereby saying some women (or men for that matter, but not all together applicable here) who were raped weren't really raped. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2011/11/15/142358413/the-pill-not-just-for-pregnancy-prevention

You can't be serious...

Boy oh boy, I can't wait for the season to start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS2-Nw-ph98&feature=fvwrel

Pre-draft, lunatics on this board made the proclamation that he would be had for a fourth or fifth round pick. I thought for sure we would have used the Graham pick on him, but I'm not about to slam the FO for going with someone who--though still unproven--has shown no signs that he wasn't worth the pick.
