And also things like deleting a link to another dream forum because they want to keep the traffic directed at Dreamviews. Seems a little extreme to me.

Hi andreasdevig. If you have a problem with the way the forum is moderated, the correct place to post about that is in the Talk to Staff section of the forum. Link to that section of the forum: Link

Joe Biden says a lot of crazy ****. But I like what he said about how it should be a decision that's between the doctor and the patient. If anybody should decide, I think it's them. I don't think it makes sense to have politicians decide. Especially politicians who take their decisions from their bible or their sexist views.

When we debate about things like “when does life begin?”, we're getting into very tricky territory. I think it's very tricky to say when life begins. What we do know, though, is all the negative consequences that come from banning abortion. That doesn't seem to be quite so a tricky territory. So maybe we should focus on that first and f.

Yes, there was only one woman who voted in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade. BUT, there were NO women on the 1973 Supreme Court that ruled on Roe v. Wade. Just for the record.

If a mother wishes to kill a newborn baby, should that be a decision between a mother and a pediatrician? I argue that it's never OK, and never up to a single person to decide the life or death of another.

Science is less tricky than you think. As I quoted above, 96% of biologists agree when human life starts, at conception. Why is not tricky? I argue this:

A. We know an embryo and a fetus are alive. They meet the criterion for life.

B. We know an embryo and a fetus are not a "part" of the mother, but rather, they have their own distinct DNA, and their own body.

C. We know that offspring cannot be of any other species than that of which their parents belong.


We can focus on consequences of banning abortion, but I argue - we can also focus on the consequences of abortion to the preborn children. Too often, their consequences [death, dismemberment, induced heart attack] are completely ignored.
