Pro Life?

[guest1163268]

Just wondering how the pro lifers feel about this?

7 years old and I wonder how much happiness she was able to accumulate? 

I personally think that children until the age of thirteen should only be allowed to be children and play to their hearts content with some structure for education etc. 

I wonder how many opportunities this little girl had to do that and who should bear the responsibility?

What about that is an attack?  You said that you are a woman and a nurse and that you don't know why a woman might have a late term abortion or why that option might be presented by a medical team. I find that difficult to fathom. 

I will reply to whom I prefer.

Woman's health can be the patients I've treated that ended up in kidney failure, on dialysis, and the baby died, too. Also had to have a hysterectomy, so cannot have any children.  Could be people that have seizure disorders that cannot be treated while pregnant (without risking seizures that can be life threatening). You can ask women or their doctors about what "health threatening" illnesses could justify an abortion. Or you could leave a person's medical decisions to the individual. I mean. You be pro-life all you want. Let other people make their own medical choices.

The real problem is, where is the boundary line? 

Emboldened, where do they stop? 

It's plenty obvious they haven't got the empathy or even common sense to guide them, much less scientific guidance. They are emotional and using religion and bias to guide their decisions. 

I really would like to know who trusts anyone like that, to even buy them a packet of crisps from the bar? Much less their health decisions!

It's always been the case that when you make a public post you're going to get responses back whether you like or desire the response or not.  I can appreciate that you don't want comments from a particular person, but there is a way for you to "ignore" them.  Maybe someone from administration or another member can help you with that.  I don't know how to do it because I'm too nosy.

Thanks. Before I posted I tried to look for it.  But I don't have an option that says "account options" and can't find the "Ignored Users" function.  But like I said, it's not something I'd want to do.

My drop down looks like this and the account settings don't seem to have anything about ignoring people.

To place a member on ignore, follow these instructions:

Look in the upper right corner of any page and click ACCOUNT (it is to the left of your Profile Photo).

Scroll to and click ACCOUNT SETTINGS.

 When that loads, click ACCOUNT OPTIONS, scroll to and click IGNORED USERS.

Type in the user ID name. You can then select how you wish to block the user.

Click ADD USER.

It's sort of funny that you post on a public forum and then you worry about what responses you get? 

It's almost as if they don't know that people have different opinions from their own? 

Personally, I say some controversial things and make some silly predictions sometimes, but I have yet to even once consider banning or even reporting another person. 

Either you respect people which you demonstrate by allowing them to be themselves or you accept you are immature and incapable of consideration and tolerance!

I would add another option:  you accept the other poster responding to you is immature and incapable of consideration and tolerance.  LOL

Anyway, we all have very strong opinions that are usually based on our life experiences, what we read, and we're pretty set in stone about them and express them as such and rarely are we ever swayed.

But yes, when we post we have to expect some "discussion".  I'll say when I've clap backed at you, you've taken it well.  

It takes tough skin around here.  But sometimes it get's hard to hear things like "typical liberal propaganda", or how dysfunctional the party you voted for is and how ridiculous Trump is when you voted for him and not get tired of it.  Right now the liberals tend to be long winded and opinionated and the conservatives very small in number.  

It wasn't always like this.  I can think of a time when during the Obama years early on that Republicans outnumbered liberals here and the rhetoric they spewed out to us was a bit hard to take.  That we were ruining the country, that Obamacare would destroy America, they had huge concerns about the national debt (not sure what happened) and they loved the Tea Party, on and on.  

I noticed a lot of them left when Obama got re-elected and even more left when Trump was elected.  

Long term posters like Heron, Chare and TMB can correct me if I'm wrong about that.

But I've always liked having a balance of both sides here.

I never said I was pro life. Can people make all their own medical choices?

You made it pretty clear in your first comment that you were anti-abortion.  

No, people can't make all of their own medical choices.  There are laws that directly affect choices.

I said I was against abortion at any stage. Try again. Not choosing abortion doesn't make someone "anti-abortion".  Beyond 1st trimester since you are confused/assumed ill to clarify.  In general. There could be extraordinary circumstances but as a general whole after 1st trimester. Imo. I don't actively run around telling people what do to with their bodies in any circumstance.
