Re: GWB hates women (Bush, cock)
I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
— Voltaire ergo, thread unlocked. People get heated about things in the World forum. That is the nature of the beast. It is a political forum. Sometimes people agree, sometimes they don't. Sometimes people who agree with each other about 90% of the stuff in here find a point where they don't agree. Spats abound. But we all respect each other, even if we don't share the same views. And locking a thread just because one has the powah to do so is more than a tad disrespectful not only to those with whom one disagrees, but to anyone who has expressed a point of view in the thread in question. I can only remember one thread that has ever been locked in the 5 years I have been posting here, and a near-riot ensued. And rightly so, imo. We are adults. We are intelligent. We don't need to stomp on people just because arguments get heated. We all love each other really, no matter what. Peace.

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. |

Quote:
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 () 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. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2...5397146&page=1
