I would create a law that made it so that anyone caught throwing a cigarette butt out of their window had to go back, search until they found it, and eat it.

sheriff joe sounds like quite a character----sounds like most of what he is doing is just and fair for the situation.

His jail also has the lowest repeat offender rate of released prisoners. Aso for cutting the hand off of theives...a bit extreme, but as extreme goes...I betcha our theft and robbery rates would drop.

I think that we should choose another topic before things get nasty(er) (as was requested by Wheetsin basically)

I don't know if anyone has said this, but birth control CAN and SOMETIMES will stop the continuation of developement.

The pill can stop implantation from occuring. It can cause an implanted egg to be "flushed" away during the week where you do not take the pill to have a period.

The IUD's basis of function, in and off itself is to irritate the uterine lining so that a fertilized egg can not implant.

Many heart medications can induce an abortion. RU-486 was originally a heart medication.

Abortion is not pretty. Abortion should not be a regular birth control method. I do not belive in abortion after the 4th month unless there are extinuating circumstances (life of mother, incest,rape)

At the heart of the abortion debate is still God. As a biologist, you are not a "person" at the moment of conception. You do not have a brain, You do not have organs. You are a parasite.

You can develope into a person, but you arent "there" until till way way way after the moment of conception.

The reason that I brought up the issue of semantics is that the use of semantics clouds the issues.

It's not semantics. It's synonyms. Fetus is another word for unborn baby.

I wonder, then, why Ralph Reed and his "Operation Rescue" followers do not march around with signs saying?

Save the Parasites

Stop the Parasite Killers

God Loves Parasites

For the same reason you don't say "I just attended a fetus shower" or "I just attended a parasite shower." You say "I just attended a baby shower."

I don't like the idea of abortion, but I like the government in my medical affairs even less and I don't want unwanted babies brought into this world to be abused and neglected.

Again, if children are abused and neglected because they are unwanted and abortion cures the problem of unwanted children, why is there still abuse and neglect. Look at the statistics. There is no correlation between unwanted pregnancies and abuse.

My wife has threatened me, that if I don't get away from this computer and start doing some work around the house, that she is going to perform a retroactive abortion on me.

Interesting way to re-phrase "she's going to kill me."
