Pre-term twin here - my sis was fine, but I went straight into the incubator. Turned out perfectly fine though (well ok, matter of opinion :D )

Can't remember how many weeks... will have to ask my Mum.

Re: GWB hates women
 

again, i'm just completely floored by how thoroughly you're missing the very VERY elementary concept of opinion. my opinion, according to what i believe is ethically sound, is that preventing women from having access to basic contraception is in and of itself a misogynistic policy. period.

and let's be very clear here. you extrapolated that into the whole abortion issue. my statement was that bush's new policy, which seeks to find a means of restricting BASIC CONTRACEPTION for women (meaning only means that women can utilize) is inherently detrimental to women. it oppresses women in a way that no other subsection of humanity is oppressed. and that, according to my ethical code, constitutes absolute hatred of women.

in all the years i've been posting here i've never see you ask for something quite as dumbfounding as "factual" support of this type of assertion. it's like you've made a conceptual error and you're stuck in an illogical loop.

you don't prove ethics. if i were to say that i felt it was inherently amoral to utilize the death penalty and that a society that applies the death penalty is inherently hateful, would you ask for "proof" that the society is hateful? you want proof? my proof would be that the death penalty is inherently hateful and thus any society that applies it is hateful. do you see how that works? do you get that there's no "proving" an ethical assertion?

it's elementary, man. the fact that you're missing such a rudimentary concept makes me want to bang my head against the keyboard.

Re: GWB hates women
 

... or that.

Re: GWB hates women
 

excellent! what makes it harder is that i do content management and user experience for an online medical information company now, and just about every day our news division covers some ridiculous story about how anything and everything that happens during pregnancy means long-term harm for your unborn child.

like the study we published the other day that said women who eat nuts every day while pregnant will likely have kids who have asthma. and that women who use their cell phone more than 3 times a day while pregnant will have kids with behavioral problems. and that kids with moms who work outside of the home are more likely to have allergies. or that washing your hands with antibacterial soap while pregnant will make your kids develop autism.

usually when we delve into the studies we find out the funding is totally biased and the scientific methods were not exactly scientific. but still. i have to sit and listen to these studies every day and after a while it becomes difficult to believe that ANYONE was ever born healthy.

so thank you! it helps.

Re: GWB hates women
 

LOL...don't do crack or play a lot of contact sports, and your babes will be born just fine. Don't pay too much attention to the rest of the drivel, because worrying while carrying a child to term will cause that child to develop a sociopathic personality...or some shit.;)

Re: GWB hates women
 

^ we actually published a study that said essentially, "taking antidepressants during pregnancy may cause pre-term labor. however don't stop taking them because being depressed during pregnancy may cause pre-term labor."

i felt like it was irresponsible to publish it because the last thing a depressed pregnant woman needs to read is that uncontrollable circumstances of her very existence may compromise the viability of her baby.



they should just have titled the study We Don't Know Why Stuff Happens, But We're Pretty Good at Making Stuff Up.

Or For God's Sake, Don't Get Out Of Bed! Why Are You Reading This? Don't You Know What You're Doing To Your Retinas?

Re: GWB hates women
 

Okay, first things first.

Just this morning, you said: "screw everyone. i'll take up the debate with anyone else woke up at 5 a.m. starving half to death with 4 legs kicking the shit out of their cervix.

i'm cranky. i'll apologize in october."

I was simply referencing that post. If you feel that's worthy of a response as crass as what you just said, then so be it.

So what are you saying - you can call anyone you'd like a racist or a misogynist or whatever your heart desires, and then no one can ask you to qualify your assertion? Since when did these concepts become so freakishly subjective?

"That guy's a racist."

"Oh, really? What did he do that was racist?"

"Whaddya mean 'what did he do?' I just told you, he's a racist"

"Okay, but did he call a black person the 'n' word, or maybe use some other racial slur...something like that?"

"Whatever....you're not makin' any sense, dude".

Are you kidding me with even more ridiculous analogies? The reality of the holocaust can be proved through the fact that 6 million Jews were killed in concentration camps. It can be proved that slaves didn't live well because they were ripped from their home country, sold into a lifetime of work for no reward, they were beaten, sexually assaulted, and killed if they did something their "owner" didn't approve of....like try to be free. And our President is supposedly misogynistic because he lumps birth control in with abortion? Really? That's the solid example that compares to the evidence that slavery was wrong, or that the holocaust actually happened? I mean, it certainly proves that he makes some dumb-ass decisions, but hating women?

Yes, you can argue it with me, but so far, no one seems to have actually tried. The title of this thread asserts a conclusion in a factual manner, NOT as a personal opinion. "GWB hates women". I'm simply asking for a logical progression of thought that leads us from "George Bush equates birth control with abortion" through to "George Bush hates women". It seems that this request is so brutally difficult that neither you or Dubman have been able to offer anything more than saying the assertion itself is somehow all the explanation that's necessary, or now, to fall back on saying it's just your opinion. Well, while Dubman did at least qualify his assertions with comments like "in my opinion...", you've been stating your conclusions as fact up until now. Statements like:

"...it is a woman hating policy"

or

"that is misogyny. that is hating women. period"

I don't think I'm showing poor comprehension skills when I take these and other comments like them as intended to be factual, objective assertions. Had you framed your comments as opinion rather than as fact, then we probably wouldn't even be having this discussion. But suddenly trying to spin it around and act as if I'm asking for something totally outlandish and unreasonable is a total cop-out. If you call someone something as serious as sexist, then yeah, I personally want to know what they did that was sexist. This is a discussion forum, and I want to discuss when I see an assertion that I find to be fundamentally flawed or unfair.

How about a direct act by Bush that illustrates his sexism? An act that doesn't require a huge assumption to make it apply. Is that really so unreasonable? It's common knowledge that the pro-life stance is based on the idea that fetuses are human beings who need to be protected. That core belief in no way implies sexism. You've artificially injected your conclusion of sexism into it in the case of Bush, based on nothing more than an extremely thin assumption that since this concern over unborn babies has a negative affect on a woman's right to choose, then Bush must hate women. Hell, maybe it's true, but that doesn't change the fact that based on what we know, it's still an assumption and therefore doesn't warrant being stated as fact. As I said earlier, it's no different than me saying that since you're pro-choice, presumably because you recognize that there are a myriad of reasons related to health, psychology, etc that justify it....doesn't matter! Abortion results in the termination of a fetus - SO YOU HATE BABIES! BABY HATER! And the great thing is that now, if I get the same pass that you're claiming you should have, I don't need to qualify that assertion with any logic at all!

If you want something specific that you can do to satisfy my request, then then there it is - explain to me how you saying Bush hates women is any more correct than me saying that you hate babies. Or just stick with saying it's just your opinion, and I'm fine with that too. But you started off by stating your conclusions in an undeniably objective way, and that's what I was responding to. So there ya' have it.

And incidentally, the discussion between Dubman and I is where the extrapolation to abortion in general happened, so you and I don't need to discuss it at all.

Re: GWB hates women
 

You're way out of your depth on this one. All you've had to offer is thoughtfulness about what motivates your own personal beliefs, and thoughtlessness about what motivates the beliefs of those who differ with you. And when pressed to address a simple progression of logic, you came back with insults and condescension, but absolutely no substance.

I'd love to hear you answer the same question I posed to Cacophony. Explain to me how you saying Bush hates women because of this is any more correct than me saying that you hate babies since you're pro-choice.

Re: GWB hates women
 

if you mean depth to say who can be the bigger pedantic asshole here, then yeah, i'm outta my element, walter.
i wasnt here for debate, and rarely am. im not terrifically interested in your viewpoint because it's not original and pretty predictable. i'm just here to say my peice as i know it and if you have something smart for it then i'll listen. all i hear is waffling and cowardice, so yeah i'm going to be condescending. it's not like you havent been either, so PARTY HARD.

and dont write that dirge and pretend youre still interested in "discussion" anymore

Re: GWB hates women
 

This is what I'm hearing. Someone tell me if this is incorrect...


If that interpretation of the argument is incorrect in some way, please point out which words.

Otherwise, no matter how many times I go through it, I just see a poor argument. I mean, you take out some of the emotive stuff... that it's George BUSH!!! That he's a MAN!!!! ... and it seems to me that's the argument you're left with.

So I guess you'd extrapolate the same thing if it was a woman saying what Bush said? That this woman must obviously hate women?

Listen, after reading the link in the first post, I fully share the view that "Bush is a complete bastard" and that "Bush should be showing much more concern for the the woman than the foetus". But that's an opinion, an opinion that's based on my own premise that believing in the potential of a bunch of cells (even) more strongly than in the health and rights of a living breathing human being (woman) is utterly wrong.

Bush almost certainly does not share that premise. His premise is that those cells are as sacred as any other human life, and that removing/aborting them is equivalent to killing. If that's his premise, then quite obviously his conclusion will be different. I have yet to see a single demonstration of how this proves he hates women.

I will absolutely condemn it (and him), but as I said earlier, it's still only evidence of him prioritising x (not "murdering" a foetus) over y (the welfare of the mother), not evidence of him hating y.

You may think it's evidence of him not considering y enough. Again, that's not the same as hating y if he's saying the consequence to x, the foetus, is worse than the consequence to y, the mother.

If he didn't give any credence to x, if he didn't value the life of a foetus, then I think you'd absolutely have a rock solid case that, yes, GWB hates women.

As I said before, it will be easy for people to dismiss this kind of approach to the discussion as just head-up-arse logic nonsense, and for me to sound like some uncaring academic turning real people's lives into a math(s) equation. I happen to think there is some value to testing these things logically, and stripping bare some of the emotive baggage that can cloud an argument. Reason isn't something you just turn on when it works, but turn off when your argument lacks it, and dismiss as unimportant. And resorting to dismissing it all as pedantic, as waffle (as you're doing dubman), is just a cowardly way out.

Let's go out on a hypothetical here... if by some miracle in 100 years time, men can give birth, and a futuristic George Bush makes the same pronouncement about birth control and abortion, will you insist that this officially proves that GWB hates men and women?

Once again, I really don't see any ethical difference in this thread between people. I just see a difference in logic that, combined with this being an emotive subject, is getting people wound up. Which is why I think it's useful to get beneath it.

Re: GWB hates women
 

then i have no idea what to say to you. it's elementary and you are missing it and missing it and missing it in a way that you're usually too intelligent to miss.

in all of the time i've been posting here you've never been as ignorant, arrogant or, frankly, as offensive as you've been in this thread. you're no more engaged in a rational discussion than anyone else, in spite of your self-righteous insistence that you are.

i'm done discussing it with you. and this time do me a favor and don't PM me telling me, "no no, i really do like women" to try to justify how you spent 6 pages insisting that sexism is a figment of everyone's imagination and how you put more energy into playing that tiny violin for father's rights than attempting to comprehend what it means to tell a woman that she can't even take a birth control pill in order to protect her own health.

it's not about disagreeing with what's been said. please disagree, that's what makes a world forum a world forum. and this ain't my first rodeo, i've discussed abortion rights with any number of people with opinions ranging from "kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out" to "god sez women are just vessels." in fact 2 days ago i debated abortion rights with someone far more liberal than i, and i was the one pitching the pro-life arguments.

it's not about disagreement. it's the way you've presented your disagreement in this thread.

there's something that clicks on in you when women's rights become an issue that i don't see click on in anyone else. whatever it is, it gets you personally defensive and you go on an attack in a manner that i don't see in you in other discussions. i don't like it and frankly i don't like you much right now.

so don't mind me, i'll just sit here quietly in the corner, waiting patiently to find out if the men who run this nation will let me continue to protect my own health, trying so so hard not to "cry wolf" and struggling to control my silly, irrational feminine hormones.

Re: GWB hates women
 

that's not correct. i again refer back to the original post and the original link. the new regulation does not just affect funding for abortion, funding for abortifacient procedures, or even the gray area of IUDs where a device inhibits implantation before the fertilized egg has divided or satisfied the medical definition of viability (there are two definitions, one is the viability of the pregnancy which can happen back within the first 5-6 weeks and the other is the viability of the fetus, which is usually around 25 weeks). the new regulation even seeks to erect roadblocks for birth control methods that offer protection before fertilization. oral contraceptives operate by preventing ovulation, meaning no egg is present when sperm is present. there is no abortion issue because egg and sperm never meet.

unfortunately many pro-life advocates misunderstand the function of oral contraceptives and believe the egg is still released and the contraceptive inhibits fertilization or implantation. so opposition to the birth control pill is actually quite strong in many parts of the pro-life community. it's a belief founded on willful ignorance because it's simply physiologically untrue and the information illustrating the mechanism of hormonal birth control is readily available. those who adhere to the belief that oral contraception is tantamount to abortion in this day and age do so because they are motivated by something beyond a simple desire to protect embryos. because if it were simply about embryos, the debate would never take place. there is no embryo. but the debate continues because it changes shape, no longer emphasizing the reality of fertilization and implantation.

it is my OPINION (emphasis apparently necessary in this thread) that those who fail to educate themselves about the mechanism of hormonal contraceptives and instead leap to eliminate access to them are acting out of something other than concern for embryonic rights. i've never once said that those who seek to prevent abortion or abortifacient contraceptive methods hate women for that sole reason. i never brought the overarching pro-life agenda into this discussion.

and in fact, it may surprise everyone to know that i personally oppose the use of IUDs because even as a pro-choice advocate i believe first and foremost in personal responsibility as well as the sacredness of human life. in my OPINION part of the responsibility of having the choice means taking every step to ensure that fertilization is prevented. yeah, i'm a pro-choicer who actually does believe that something happens at the moment of fertilization that changes the ball game. i know it would be a hell of a lot easier for argument's sake to decide that i'm a feminazi who enjoys "crying wolf" just to stick it to the man, but there you go.

so if bush's restrictions spoke specifically to abortion procedures and abortifacient contraceptive methods alone, i would not make the claim that his policy is fundamentally misogynistic. however, that's not what he is proposing.

his proposal includes an attempt to restrict the above mentioned hormonal contraceptive methods that prevent ovulation. these are methods that affect women alone. he isn't taking condoms off the table, which prevent sperm from entering the vaginal canal, he's speaking to a method that only affects womens' health. the pill is essentially the same as any other barrier method, whether it be condom, female condom, diaphragm or cervical cap. for some reason if it's a barrier that affects the penis, we don't even debate it. if it's a barrier that affects anything north of the cervix suddenly we have an ethical dilemma.

it's a debate that never affects the health of men. not because i'm a hateful wolf-crying feminazi, but because we never take it there. women may host a pregnancy but fertilization is never possible without men. yet we never discuss whether or not we should consider measures, mechanical or hormonal, to prevent women from being hosed down with millions and millions of very goal-oriented and tenacious spermatazoa.

no, unfortunately the sin always falls on the women. as i said, i'm a pro-choicer who believes first and foremost in personal responsibility. in a way i am fundamentally ethically pro-life in that i personally believe that no one with any control over the matter should risk an unwanted pregnancy. ever. i find it unfortunate that abortion for non-medical reasons are necessary in this world. i find it unfortunate that people choose not to protect themselves and i find it unfortunate that sometimes women get raped. it's a crying shame of a world we live in but there you go, so where do we go from here? a pro-ilfer would say, "sucks for you but the baby's in charge now." as a pro-choicer i have to insist that forcing a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy is essentially holding her hostage. (i do think, personally, in a way that i feel completely non-obligated to "prove" to anyone, that this sudden reversal in the belief in liberty is inherently misogynistic. whoops, i guess i am a "crying wolf" feminazi after all! sorry, fellas!)

anyway, all of this is to say that i am at no point saying the foundation of the pro-life agenda has anything to do anyone's opinion about whether or not women are to be hated, disliked or distrusted.

where i am saying this is the case is when the same pro-lifers who care about not aborting potential humans suddenly want to prevent a widely available contraceptive method that is in no way abortifacient and which directly affects the health of all women. when the pro-life agenda reaches this irrational point, when restrictions are proposed for contraceptive methods that in no way touch the abortion issue, and in fact only suit to meet the pro-life agenda by preventing ovulation while at the same time protecting women from a range of health issues, that's when it becomes all about women and not about babies.

the issue of hormonal contraception isn't about babies. period. never can be because egg and sperm will never meet. this is basic physiological information. it is not up for debate. those in the pro-life community who choose to bar access to these methods have moved far beyond the call for embryonic rights. they have moved into an arena of control over women's actions. they have moved into the arena of preventing sexual intercourse as a means of abortion prevention. george w bush has passed this kind of policy before. i wonder if anyone remembers back to his early days in office when he changed the AIDS prevention policy in africa so that no organization receiving federal funding would be allowed to discuss contraception AT ALL. in order to qualify for that funding, organizations were instructed to discuss ONLY abstinence. they don't believe in your right to protect yourself, they believe, as monty python said, that every sperm is sacred.

except in their case they're never really all that interested in doing anything about the sperm. they instead prefer to put the onus back on the woman and make their arguments about oral contraceptives.

this section of the pro-life community that seeks to prohibit sex, of which GWB is a member by practice, is not motivated by its love for babies. the motivation is about control. and in the vast majority of cases this motivation is acted out in a way that affects women only. such as eliminating access to the birth control pill.

where it becomes outright misogynistic is that this barrier actually sets women up for worse health later in life. countless studies have shown that the pill reduces incidences of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine and endometrial cancer, even colorectal cancer due to the lowering effect estrogen has on levels of bile acid in the colon. for a number of factors i could go into but won't unless anyone is interested, the hormonal contraception has been one of the biggest medical benefits to women in the history of medical science. remove the pill and expect women's life expectancies to roll back.

this is basic physiology and basic science. if in the face of basic science pro-lifers still insist on preventing women from accessing this method of health care, and i reiterate that this method affects fertilization and implantation in NO WAY, then it is not about babies. it's not about embryos or fetuses or future generations. it's about women. controlling what women do with their bodies.

it is an inherently anti-woman policy because it in no way achieves the stated goal of preventing abortion and only impacts women's health in a negative way. it is detrimental to women. it is a policy borne of mistrust or hatred of women. all the stuff about loving babies is just smoke and mirrors at this particular junction in the abortion debate.

Re: GWB hates women
 

Cacophony - strictly sticking to post 55 (because I thought #54 was uncalled for) - thank you for taking the time to write all that. I stand corrected on referring to abortion/foetus, I didn't have a proper grasp of all the implications of the removal of female contraception, and I agree it does indeed raise questions of judgment and double-standards, such as why condoms haven't been taken off the table, that make me want to re-evaluate all this.

I'm going to read through everything again before I comment further.

Re: GWB hates women
 

I have to say I agree with sean to a larger extent. But only because he's making a strictly logical argument between action and intent. And i'm not going to say anything more because I'm afraid of cacophony.

Re: GWB hates women
 

Oh, I'm really not interested in continuing a futile attempt at having any meaningful discussin with you on this any more. You've seen to that very handily.

Re: GWB hates women
 

What clicks on in me has nothing to do with whether it's women's rights or not. It has to do with me having a problem with seeing any extremely harsh accusations thrown at anyone unfairly. Thus the references to racism as well. And now apparently I've been labelled as a misogynist too - a label that couldn't be further from the truth, and which I find to be extremely unfortunate and troubling.

Is sexism a figment of people's imagination? Hell no. Please show me a single place where I said that or anything even close to it, and I will apologize whole-heartedly. Seriously....please go through my posts and provide the quotes that illustrate me making that point in any way shape or form, because I just re-read this whole thread to see if I missed a place where what I said may have come across that way unintentionally, and I didn't see anything that struck me that way. I also didn't see any energy invested in playing a "tiny violin for father's rights". I only saw two sentences out of all my posts, paragraphs and sentences here that mentioned the idea that "men are far too frequently left out of the parenthood equation in discussions about who's affected by this stuff." Not sure where the perception that I "put more energy into playing that tiny violin" comes from based on that.

And having just read back over all the posts here, frankly, I didn't start getting bothered until after dubman's post that said "theyre fucking retards holding back all things good and decent and should be the last people given clout or compromised with" as a response to my statement that "What's at the core of the issue is the problem that pro-lifers would have with you labeling a fetus as a 'parasite'. Of course technically, a fetus IS a parasite, but referring to it as such is pretty clearly meant as a means of de-humanizing it, and that's where the difference in ideologies lies - not in feelings towards women." Things like this make it hard for me to understand how it could be concluded that I'm the one who's been displaying an unreasonable and confrontational attitude here.

Anyway, you jumped right into the middle of that, and equated the point I'd been trying to make with "if a man beats the shit out if his wife but believes it's for her own good, would you also believe he's not misogynistic?" Not exactly a fair interpretation of what I'd been saying up until then. And when I replied light-heartedly (honestly, that is how it was meant, which is why I even said right after it that I wasn't being serious) referring back to your presumably light-hearted comments (which I know did still convey a serious point) about being, in your words, "cranky", you came back and told me to "fuck off". Again, I don't feel it's fair to say that I brought the confrontational approach to that one. I can understand if my comment was not clearly enough framed as light-hearted, but needless to say, being told to "fuck off" was unexpected at best.

Re: GWB hates women
 

What's interesting is that if you had said something along these lines in the first place (minus the smarmy interjections of course :rolleyes:), my reply would've been that I see your point. All I probably would've added is that Bush has also supported legislation that aims to remove condoms from the reach of teenage boys and that blocks stem cell research, so he seems to be a dumb-ass across the board on this to me, with the people being negatively affected ranging from horny teenagers, to women, to people suffering from Alzheimers or paralyzation, etc. But the point you make here is much clearer than what you gave me to read previously. I appreciate it....although I deeply regret that things had to build to the point they did before you finally posted this.

Re: GWB hates women
 

aaaaaand lock thread

Re: GWB hates women (Bush, cock)
 

Re: GWB hates women (Allegedly)
 

Two points:
-Bush MAY support abstaining from sex because he believes marriage is necessary to create families and to have children, because he believes morals and such are learnt from the family. Studies have shown that peer groups and neighbourhoods are more important to learning those life values
-The issue of birth control pills MAY not just be about "control" and ensuring only males have choices; condoms are going to remain legal because they prevent the spread of disease, while birth control does not. This is speculation... sorry if this has been said before, only had time to read cacophony's last past which seemed like a response to everything that was said before.

Re: GWB hates women (Allegedly)
 

Thanks Janie. Frankly I've said all I can say in the debate above, so I don't plan on posting about that particular aspect of the story any more, but it's surprisingly comforting knowing the thread's open again anyway.

Here's more from the article about the specific birth control it goes after, which explains why it doesn't include things like condoms.

A copy of a memo that appears to be an HHS draft provided to Reuters, carries a broad definition of abortion.

"The Department proposes to define abortion as 'any of the various procedures -- including the prescription and administration of any drug or the performance of any procedure or any other action -- that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation,'" it said.

Conception occurs when egg and sperm unite in the fallopian tubes. It takes three to four days before the fertilized egg implants in the uterus. Several birth control methods interfere with this, including the birth control pill and IUDs. (my highlights)

So it's apparently only birth control methods that take affect after the sperm has contacted the egg. Presumably because the second they make contact, for the religious right, the individual life has begun. So methods like condoms, or diaphragms, or the good old-fashioned rhythm method (:rolleyes:) are fine because they (sometimes) block the sperm and egg from ever meeting, thus no life.

It's a pretty extreme stretch that, frighteningly, sounds to me like a move designed to set up the boundaries for laws conservatives would put in place if they ever succeed in overturning Roe vs Wade. I mean, think about it. Would it be easier to redefine abortion to include these contraceptive methods now, while abortion's legal, or later, when it's illegal? While it's legal, less people may worry about how this redefinition would impact their rights. But if it were illegal already, then the impact on rights would be perceived by far more people as a clear and immediate threat. So that's my guess.

Luckily, this issue is receiving direct opposition already from congressional Democrats.
