I am strongly pro life and since there are so many good methods of birth control I see no need to kill the unborn. It seems to me that it is more a choice of a lack of planning and self control...I am also a strong Christian and do not see how anyone can abort a baby when we have so many families who can't concieve and are looking to adopt
9:27 am
Buttonman
My son and his wife adopted a baby that we love dearly as if it was our own blood.

I'm just waiting for Texas lawmakers to start coming after women who have miscarriages and accusing them of murder. Miscarriages are extremely common especially in the first trimester.

it's not about you....there are reasons, my aunt had to have one so she would'n't die...she was told by her doctors that the fetus was in her tube....it almost killed her as well as the baby
9:29 am
vashongin
she wanted it, but it wouldn't have survived
9:29 am
rururocks
One: there aren't so many families that want to adopt and a lot of children are born to problematic situations. Two: the Texas Law as I understand also prevents abortion due to Rape and incest..
9:30 am

Not to worry Button.. I won't be going to Texas .. like ever

No one is PRO ABORTION. BUT they are PRO CHOICE! A woman should have the right to choose if she wants to have a child or not and that is what this is about!!!!!! Every woman should have the FREEDOM to decide what she wants to do! It is a freedom issue. Most people who have abortions are NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE NEED TO HAVE ONE, but I strongly believe they have a right to make their own decision and they are not hurting anyone else.
9:35 am
Mubner
Isn't it strange that all those that hate abortions just disappear when it comes time to feed, clothe and care for the newborns. It's not about saving lives, it's about control of women. My motto, don't like abortion, don't have one.

I don't expect everyone to share my opinions. And I respect the rights of others to have different opinions. As for abortion, I am really torn. While I respect women's rights to choose, I also belive that abortion is taking a life.
9:37 am
MollyL
And I don't understand that people who are pregnant and happy about it, consider a six week old fetus life, but those who are pregnant and not happy about it do not.
9:37 am
Mubner
If the fetus is not viable outside the host there is no life to be lost.
9:38 am
MollyL
I guess it's the potential for life that I'm thinking of then.
9:38 am
BzznBea
And why is it only the women penalized? It takes two, I think.
9:38 am
mkg
Molly, if you believe that we have freedoms in this nation, then a woman should have the right to decide if she feels she should have an abortion. That is what it is about……do you have the right to tell someone that they should have a child that they cannot afford to raise for some reason? Or that they dont want to have because they were raped? That is the issue.
9:39 am
mkg
The potential life of a child whose mother wanted to abort it is not going to be a good life period.
9:39 am
MollyL
I didn't ask for a lecture mkg. I said I respect a woman's right to choose.
9:40 am

Also what we forget is the LARGE NUMBER of women and girls who were KILLED by illegal abortionists!!!!!!! My husband is a doctor and he saw many lovely young girls ages 13 and up who arrived in Emergency rooms in a taxi half dead, and they died! And it was tragic.

we dont know the circumstances why people have an abortion and |I dont believe we have the right to pass an opinion or to criticise
9:44 am
rururocks
it is certainly a divisive subject. But I'm pro choice and I think the government needs to stay out of women's vaginas
9:45 am
mkg
Buttonman i hope you plan to adopt about 1000 babies in the next few years.
9:46 am
rbud
Men would certainly be offended if government tried to tell them to do anything at all with THEIR bodies. That is obvious from the protestations of men who consider vasectomies to be something they'd NEVER consider.
9:47 am
rbud
even though the MEN are the ones who can, technically, have dozens of babies per year, as opposed to women, who can have two at the most. (barring multiples.)
9:47 am
BzznBea
Some men even refuse to have the dogs neutered...
9:47 am
rururocks
yes.. imagine if Texas passed a law that all men needed to have vasectomies.. to prevent abortions
9:48 am
rururocks
Rbud apparently hasn't met the Duggars yet
9:50 am
MollyL
Suggesting that Buttonman be prepared to adopt 1000 babies in the next few years is a very weak opposition point.
9:51 am
rururocks
If Texans are so pro-life, why don't they pass laws restricting rapid fire guns that are used to murder children in mass shootings..
9:51 am

Or mandate masks in school.

re: TX masks, did I read this right a while back...the governor said schools are forbidden from mandating masks?
9:55 am

that seems a bit insane
9:55 am

There is NO mask mandates in TX.
9:55 am

at least let the school districts decide if they need to
9:55 am
rururocks
that's Florida for sure too
9:55 am

I know, but what I'm asking is they aren't even allowed to mandate them if they wanted to
9:56 am
BzznBea
Like I said, Abbott is a DB.

the only state that mandates not allowing kids to wear masks is Florida as far as I know.

10:02 am
mael
it's like saying well, why do you feel differently about making love vs rape? it's still just sex!
10:02 am
rururocks
this move in Texas is a part of the plan of the Christian right to test the SCOTUS and try to do this countrywide. They will have other states like Arkansas, Georgia, Arizona, and Missouri pass laws like this
10:06 am
MollyL
I'm starting to understand why you have to try out for the debate team. It's still just sex?

hi Nan
10:19 am

what don't you get, Molly? You're the one who said you find it strange that women who want to be pregnant feel that an embryo is a baby and women who don't want to be pregnant feel differently
10:23 am
cybernan
Betty White said it best, "If it were men who get pregnant there would be an abortion clinic at every car wash"
10:25 am
rururocks
that would mean that men would have to screw themselves nan :D
10:26 am
cybernan
and there are lots of times when women would tell them to go ahead :)
10:26 am
MollyL
Which is possibly the way it should be. Someone else said that if sports cars had vaginas, men would never look at women again.
10:28 am
rururocks
i better get to work.. interesting discussions today.
10:28 am
MollyL
And I didn't say that there is something I don't get. The logic of the point eludes me though.
10:28 am
cybernan
hagd ru
10:29 am
mael
well if you don't get the logic then you don't get it
10:32 am
MollyL
Why people would grieve a miscarriage at 6 weeks but not feel like they are ending the potential for life at six weeks if they abort the pregnancy? No, not really. But I still think women should have the right to choose. I just have my own personal beliefs on who is in charge of terminating a potential for life. And that applies to my body only.
10:35 am
mael
because, like the act of sex, consent matters and how the person having it feels about it matters. An embryo is not a baby, it's the potential for a baby. If you want that baby you will be sad if you miscarry. If you don't want that baby you might actually be glad that you miscarried. An embryo is still only just an embryo.
10:35 am
cybernan
what I don't understand is how people who would ban manditory vaccinations on the basis of personl rights could turn around and pass antiabortions laws.

Notice that my use of the term potential for life keeps getting ignored.

You have every right to your opinion Mael. All I am saying is that there are people who believe differently than you do.
10:41 am

And they have a right to their opinion as well. I would hate to see another player get run off this board due to the overly liberal sentiment here. Losing Dee was enough.

As usual, late to the debate, but my tuppence-worth on the abortion debate. The Eighth amendment to the Irish Constitiution banned abortion. Consequently, thousands of Irish women annually took the boat or plane to the UK to avail of abortion services. Within those thousands,there were women whose pregnancy was a result of incest or rape, a drunken one-night-stand, an over amorous husband who demanded his conjugal rights despite already having 10 plus children. There were also the women, like Sinead O Connor, who used abortion as a form of birth control. There is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to the provision of abortion. Each and every abortion carried out is carried out for differing reasons. Men in suits should not be allowed to legislate for abortion. (End of rant)

In conclusion, following a bitter campaign, a very limited form of abortion is allowed here now. That was of zero use to my daughter's friend, whose 20 week scan revealed that her baby had no kidneys, and was 'incompatible with life'. Because she had passed the 12 week, abortion was not an option. The hospital offered her the choice of inducing her labor, and she would have to go through the whole birthing process, or giving her the address of a clinic in the UK. She chose the latter.

hokie carla

1:53 pm
penquis
i found three....hard to believe that there are four more D words for me to find....
1:53 pm
hokie carla
I need 3 D's still
1:55 pm
hokie carla
and yes, seems impossible
1:59 pm
hokie carla
this is the worst grid I've seen in a while, and that includes that stretch of bad ones we had a few weeks ago.
2:00 pm
penquis
it's not a fun one....
2:00 pm
hokie carla
27 now
2:02 pm
penquis

2:05 pm
penquis
just found four words by making them up... ;o)
2:05 pm
hokie carla
well, that's not a good sign
2:06 pm
penquis
well they were words i did not know...
2:07 pm
hokie carla
I will definitely not know them then!
2:14 pm
hokie carla
made it down to 21. still 4 4's, let's see if I can manage those.
2:15 pm
joym999
I don't like this grid either.
2:16 pm
penquis
i think it's unanimous...
2:16 pm
hokie carla
found 2 words! not 4's though, so that's good.
2:17 pm
joym999
I'm still not getting the DI7
2:17 pm
penquis
still missing six 4s out of 17 words left.....
2:18 pm
penquis
do you have the di 4/6?
2:18 pm
penquis
gerund ending...
2:18 pm
joym999

2:18 pm
hokie carla
di7 is making a gerund out of a CD
2:18 pm
penquis
i am going to list...
2:19 pm
joym999
is there more than one DI4,6?
2:19 pm
penquis
yes...at least two....
2:20 pm
joym999

2:20 pm
penquis

2:21 pm
penquis
there is a di 5/18 that also builds off that four...
2:26 pm
hokie carla
I'm going to list too
2:26 pm
hokie carla

2:28 pm
hokie carla

2:33 pm
penquis

2:34 pm
penquis
i am done...
2:35 pm
hokie carla
nice. I'm not seeing any of the g's on my list. I'll come back to those.
2:35 pm
penquis
quite a few words in this grid that I have not seen before...
2:40 pm
penquis
but i must admit that there were some words that I should have found....almost always the case....
2:40 pm
hokie carla
3 c's I should have gotten but so far don't know the rest
2:43 pm
penquis
i missed an adverb, a four letter babblet, a normal four letter word, and an adjective i should have gotten....and maybe more....
2:45 pm
hokie carla
I'd be ly5 if I said I didn't miss ly5
2:46 pm
joym999
lol, me too
2:46 pm
MollyL
Now Pen, that is really not something you laughed out loud at. Saints should not fib.
2:47 pm
hokie carla
now I'm down to 5 pesky G's
2:47 pm
penquis
well i did find that funny.. :o}
2:47 pm
penquis
my last two were a g 6 and g 7....
2:48 pm
hokie carla
2 g6 and 3 g7
2:49 pm
cherlyq

2:49 pm

2:49 pm
penquis
it is a toughie...
2:50 pm
hokie carla

2:51 pm
penquis
chemical...
2:51 pm
cherlyq
they start with gl and sometime vowel
2:51 pm
penquis
if you find one, you will find the other...
2:52 pm
penquis
i can clue it if you want...
2:54 pm
joym999
Ok, when I get up to 70 words I'm listing, because this grid is from hunger.
2:54 pm
hokie carla
well I have a better idea now. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
2:55 pm
penquis
it's irritating to find that Spelling Bee doesn't accept words that are in the dictionary....and i am not talking about foreign currency words....
2:55 pm
joym999
got to 70, but I just remembered that I have a job, so I'm going to work on a really boring task for a while and then reward myself with the rest of this grid, which isn't much of a reward today.
2:55 pm
penquis
good luck, joy....
2:57 pm
hokie carla
ok, was going in the wrong direction and also looking for a plural
2:57 pm
penquis
so you found both the gl words?
2:57 pm
hokie carla
pen I have an app on my phone that doesn't take a lot of words. it is annoying when you have them memorized from here.
2:58 pm
hokie carla
ok, looked up the gi7. ridiculous.
3:02 pm
penquis
well i am heading out....bye all....
3:02 pm
hokie carla
bye pen

hokie carla
(ask molly about my rhyming)
4:57 pm
hokie carla

5:02 pm
Gillie
Then again, I've never actually heard the second one.
