assuming that abortion was not much more prevalent under communist governments
You accuse me of making an assumption I have not made. I'm not even sure that the individual I'm debating with has made this assumption.
My words: "Um, which communists are you talking about? And what does this have to do with what you're talking about?" and "Please, this time can you tell me what this has to do with abortion?"
I don't see any assumption, only questions.
In the future, before criticizing, jsm2, please read a little more carefully.
That's why suicide is illegal...Huh? Why is suicide illegal?
"The Government" simply speaking, has nothing to do with it,... Hey, that's all I'm asking for!
It seems that the general public... sympathises (sic) on the side of "pro-choice"... It is not about sympathy, it's about choice. Who decides, you or the government? I say you.
...that the mother "owns" the baby inside her which is labelled a "fetus" because it is still attached to her womb. How old are you? I'm fairly certain your age is measured from the moment of birth and not before. Until being born, you were a fetus. I know that it's hard to accept.
...you need to rethink your system of beliefs. My system of beliefs is of my choosing, not yours.
If you realize that their (sic) is no difference [between between a human life inside a woman as yet unborn, and a baby one week old smothered by their teen mother], you're stuck either saying that abortions are wrong or teens murdering infants that no-one else knew about is wrong. Wow, you are a pretty sick person. For your sake, it would be nice if making comparisons between extreme examples could lead to a logical conclusion. How do people between the ages of thirteen and nineteen killing infants relate to fetal life inside a woman?
"She should have had an abortion instead of killing the child" is actually often stated in these cases. Where'd you get that load of crap. Nobody says stuff like that. You are truly insensitive.
Think about it. I have. Choice is a beautiful thing. Please stop trying to take it away from the women of this world.
PS, asking which communists I'm talking about it (sic) pretty numb (sic) -- communists are anti capitalism. And in the mid 1900's, the low moral values of North America in general were used as propaganda against capitalism. Please, this time can you tell me what this has to do with abortion?
PS #2, the technique I described is still in use in many circles today... Where? You must be talking about Canada and Mexico again...
...less harmful... to the mother (who isn't a mother because she doesn't have a baby, just a fetus, right?). You must have a lot of pent up aggression against your mother. Freud would definitely take an interest. Are you upset that she didn't abort you and instead allowed you to come into a world where other people will do things which you find morally wrong, but yet they still have a right to do? It's so horrible how all these unborn children keep being murdered while still in the womb. Fun fact: greater than 2/3 of all fertilized eggs go on to spontaneously self-abort before birth. Does that make God a murderer?
I liked the movie. I admit that Satan's penis didn't have to be shown all over the place, but it was kind of funny if you could get past the grossness of it all.

p.s. -- Late term abortions were extremely rare even when they were done. The technique you describe is a mis-representation of what occurs in these cases. Sensationalism may get you readers, but it won't get you thinkers.
But by its definition fetuses are the subject of the action, not babies. Yes, the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that a women's right to an abortion is protected by the Constituion. It is a hard choice to make, but a women's right to choose what happens to her own body is an absolute necessity for equality of the sexes.
Though it may seem a little sad, recent studies have linked the present decrease in crime in the U.S.A to safe and legal abortion. I don't think they count the anti-abortionists who shoot health care providers and volunteers in these statistics though.
It's not baloney. They're going to use decomposing human bodies, not slugs. We have lots of untapped power in our bodies.
The plan is to combine the robots with the software detection program that screens out potentially-dangerous students. All the people who have violent tendencies will be taken on a "special" field trip out to the wheat fields. Then it's a free-for-all with the SlugBots and their surgical-blade equipped mechanical hands.
Personally, I see this as a good use of otherwise wasted resources, plus society avoids all the potential harm of these mal-developed individuals.

Precisely, individuals are thought of in aggregate by the M$ marketeers. This backs up the borg idea nicely. I do not consider that M$ even thinks I exist. I am but a minor, minor person in their War to control a world of 6 billion.
But I am a member of a group. M$ wants to own all users of computers. Micro$oft does NOT care for individuals whatsoever. They matter not to this collective.
Nope, I think for myself. I use Mac OS today since it fulfills my needs. I do not yet use Linux, because it is not yet user-friendly enough (I plan to use it because of its power). I do NOT use Windows whatsoever since it is a terribly-implemented OS and its owner acts ANTI-COMPETITIVE whenever possible.
M$ puts the directory structure of my hard drive into any saved Word file ('97 version or later). Thus they are able to control me by revealing my privacy to those outside. I must take this into account if I am fortunate enough to know it. If I am NOT, I am FUCKED by their "undocumented" feature (as M$ calls it).
Well, beyond that, I would never use an M$ product to serve a web-page. Any cracker worth their salt would easily be able to change it. Does M$ give a sh*t about security. No, and NEVER. F*ck the consumer they say, as usual.
So, F.U.D.-you, MSAC. You blow *ss! (once again, but I'm not goin' to fall for that sh*t again)
If you wish to characterize the Linux crowd this way...
Look back in history, the Windows 95 crowd is precisely why little has gone forward since then. Linux is a spot of sunshine in an otherwise cloudy OS-choice. Linux does not want anyone who does not wish to agree to share their code. M$ wants anyone who will try to make MONEY in its ANTI-COMPETITIVE ways.

Who are you M$-ass licker? What of M$'s empire makes you want to defend them (what part of their tyranny -- their stolen Mouse designs, perhaps?)...
The collective of Borg fame analogizes to M$ pretty much exactly. I am certain Spock would see the comparison in perspective. The Borg has not yet succeeded against humanity, which is what I hope for humanity at large. Microsoft must be stopped.
It will never die...Voyager sucks, but Deep Space 9 is okay, and TNG will always be there on tape. I didn't even get into the original until long after the fact when it was on each night around 6 pm.

There is no need for this law. It's excessive. Current law completely protects copyright holders' rights to their intellectual property.
This is just pompous laziness by Big Government's corporate appeasement sector.

If Area Dad Steps On Legos One More Time
DARLINGTON, SC--According to loud reports from within the Kaminsky household Tuesday, if area father Russell Kaminsky steps on one more goddamn Lego, man, forget about it. "Gaaaaaaaaaa!" shouted Kaminsky, grimacing as he extracted a blue, two-peg Lego brick from his right instep. "I've told you a hundred times. This is it, this is the last warning: I step on one more Lego, and no one will ever step on another Lego in this house ever again, I promise." Observers are questioning Kaminsky's willingness to actually follow through on the threat, citing his failure to deliver on his Lincoln Logs ultimatum of last March.
However, if it violates copyright (or is perceived to), incorporating it in any application would be the kiss of death as far as distribution goes.
I'm not sure about that since proving copyright violation would require the offended company to disclose its own source. Having done so in a court of law, the source enters the realm of the public domain (as far as access). Having the original copyrighted source to play with would be fun because then many variations could be played upon it to achieve a new source not substantially similar to the original.
If the original gets kept behind closed doors, then the copied form being sued about can also get a facelift to keep it copyright free.
I guess that leaves patents as the main problem... like usual.
