    I got married young, but I wouldn't recommend it. How do you feel about birth control?

    That guy was a quack, if the "pro-life" movement did more to support doctors instead of spreading lies and supporting ridiculous regulations designed to discourage good doctors, this wouldn't be an issue. Nobody is protecting that guy, but the number of "I survived n abortion" stories online really seem to undermine your argument.

    My whole point is that abortions should be done safely and in a clean, sterile environment with good doctors. You want to subject desperate women to some quack with starter fluid (ether) and a coat hanger. Maybe your just like to see babies in dumpsters, abandoned in toilets, or "accidently" left in hot cars.

    Do you seriously believe that? A doctor who has taken an oath would kill a viable baby? You need some help.

    By all means, if they come out and take care of themselves or someone else is willing, they should be fine.

    Yeah, that's exactly what happened with "smart" guns.

  9. Most of those regulations are free market regulations, the gov isn't always the bad guy.

    Autonomy means an ability to exist independently and make decisions independently. An autonomous system should be able to take what it needs to survive for at least a short while. Babies meed that test, fetuses do not. Who owns the placenta? The mother or the baby? Either way a fetus is not autonomous.

    I think your wildly optimistic. Automated systems excel at replicating results, like killing people. How many times have you watched software teams introduce the same bugs they patched 6 cycles ago? Without a total redesign of our infrastructure, autonomous cars will be limited to interstate like spaces, or very specific routes. Barring some huge leap in AI, I think self driving cars are at least 30 years away.

    Sorry, there is no bodily autonomy is a body can't be autonomous, a fetus clearly can't.

    So I'm hearing that we basically agree that abortion is not for us, we just disagree on how to go about decreasing it. Do you really feel like it's a legal issue? Has that ever worked?

    Not trying to Godwin this discussion with this link.

    I stumbled across it googling for a Marxist position on abortion. I would have assumed from your username that you supported bodily autonomy.

    It offends me that people like you have stolen the "pro-life" name. You aren't pro-life, you are pro-authoritarianism. You just want to tell people what to do and couch it in "moral terms. Your choosing who is more important and who is throw away, I'm saying let people make their own decisions.
    Give them access to birth control, give them help if they are about to be evicted. Did you know how much more likely it is to get evicted when you have children, and I know from experience renting with children is way more difficult. With six kids your constantly the potential landlords second choice over someone with less.

    My main contention is that abortion is not a legal issue. It's a social issue. It's a symptom of the problems in our society.

  22. I can see the need for a standard cloud provider, but I certainly don't think they should put everything in the cloud. They are also abdicating a certain level of training this provides to Federal employees and having that pipeline should be valuable.

  23. We get this from our provider, Online Tech, and they aren't that big. They even have eligible data centers more then 150 miles apart. One is in Flint and one is in Indianapolis.
    I'm sure there are other smaller providers out there.

    They are crazy expensive compared to AWS, and they want to "manage" all our stuff.

    You can trust people to make their own decisions when they have options. Take away all the options and you see some terrible "decisions". A small minority of loudmouths get to run stuff when we abdicate our own responsibility.

    Ha, I have 6 kids with one woman and I take care of them all.
    I know what it's like to be poor, to be evicted, to get the power turned off when the kids are coming home from school. I'm not here to judge others and I would always discourage someone. personally, from getting an abortion. Ultimately, I trust people to make their own decisions and I would happily help them with whatever decision they make. I'm here to make the world better.
