    As we legislate based on dogma, many other countries are passing us by in science and technology.

    Hence the folly of having a government run by Christians, in a country founded (and somewhat populated) by puritans.

    • a divisive area of study that has become a presidential campaign issue.


    So, it's "between a woman and her doctor" if she wants to kill her child and the government shouldn't get involved, but it's perfectly fine to legislate the source of a child that she wants to give birth to?

    And you. I didn't claim moral high ground or authority. I stated my opinion.

    And, I didn't deserve being called an ignorant religious extremist because I disagreed with you.

    So, again, FUCK YOU.

    Welcome to the /. groupthink buzzsaw - you had the temerity to hint that maybe injecting cyanide into fetuses in their 100'th trimester wasn't such a hot idea. You are clearly not of the Hive, so you must be punished ;)
