Ironic stem cell speech from Bush

Um, just not 7 feet tall.

FDR height, no wheelchairs needed.

TDW: As someone who had a year of Religious Studies with rabidly pro-life methodist chaplain, I've heard all the usual pro-life arguements. My feeling though, is that the mother is already alive, breathing and sentient wheras the foetus' status until it reaches a certain point is far more difficult to define. It's not that the foetus doesn't have rights, it's just that the mother has more.
While it's not something I'd personally want to be involved in, I'm a firm believer in a woman's right to choose.
Embryo's are no more a living person than a tumour, as Metal Ken rightly said, and how they can be argued for in the same way even a foetus is beyond me.

Read the aforementioned. Like I said, I can see the pro-lifers points, and I think they're somewhat legitimate, but I come down on exactly the same side you do, DR. You too, are preachinbg to the choir.

I can't wait for bush to go, and next election he has to, although i bet he tries to change the rules...

No fucking way that'll happen. That's a pretty major check on the power of the executive branch, and there's no way in hell it'd pass without widespread popular support and party support. To be perfectly honest, while I'm sure Bush would love another term (ok, part of me wants to believe even he wants out by now, but really now...), his party considers him a huge liability right now, and unless they make a staggering recovery before the 2006 midterms, not only will the GOP not have the majority needed to pass an amendment like that, they won't WANT to because they'll hold Bush responsible for the cateclysmic slide the GOP took under his administration.

That would be Teddy, not FDR.

Saying that we shouldnt abort embryos that arent sentient because they're 'alive' means that we shouldnt be able to cut out tumors because they're 'alive' too.

Ok, ruining a perfectly funny thread with some seriousnes again.


There is no abortion necessary. The embryos are conceived and grown ex-utero.

I just love it when our politicians interject their own personal "moral" views in legislation. Even if the majority of the country oposes their decision. It's a good thing that Mr Bush is around to keep us straight. If it wasn't for him, we just wouldn't know what to do with ourselves.

My view on Abortion still stands ;p

Legalize it up to about the four thousandth trimester?

 

[Metal Ken]

Post Natal Abortion for the win!

Dudes, that's hilarious there, Ken und Drew.

Yes my friend, of this I'm quite aware! But, any Roosevelt in a storm!

I know quite a few people who should be aborted even though they're 13! Don't even kid about that shit.

And I respect your views on abortion btw, even though I disagree.

I know this dude named George in his 243rd trimester...
