(V): Well played! My straw men salute your straw men.

(V): You'd have to explain to me how a woman's life could be ruined by giving birth. And then you'd have to clarify how that "ruined" life (of the mother). How does killing the unborn child do any "good" to the situation.

And what if the scans showed a perfectly healthy baby girl?

(V): [ At the moment you and Art are saying you want access to their children, under a law you want. Are you a liberal? ]

Okay (V), ya got me... I am really a liberal posing as a conservative and saying what I think a conservative would say. I managed to fool everyone else, but not you. What tipped you off?

Artful Dodger: If the life of the female carrying the baby is ruined through your law...

I don't see you or lemon really answering that. The baby seems to have more rights than the mother to be in your scenario.

If it was a incest rape, the baby was (via scans) shown to be massively deformed... you'd still insist she carries it to term?

This is real life.. not some fairy tale, where everyone lives happily ever after.

" There are thousands of loving homes waiting for a child should the woman not want to raise the child herself."

Guaranteed? No prospects of divorce?? ... some Hollywood star gonna decide they'll adopt yet another baby like AJ likes to do because she can pay off the parents to have what she wants!!

Well the sad alternative is that the unborn baby must die. The seems unjust to me. We have a responsibility to the most vulnerable among us.

Why don't all you men just put us Women in a factory.

Men would love that. I feel sick.

Artful Dodger: 9 long months of being reminded that the woman was raped, What about the women? hmm

Women can Not be forced to have a baby if they were raped, that is messed up and It would mess up the woman's head. My God!! Each day being reminded that the woman was brutally RAPED.

What about the women?

Oh we are just baby makers to you men??

Sad.

Artful Dodger: Nor me... We have programs full of bloopers, and even on news programs early in the morning things.. slip out. One American doing an early morning slot with his mate to advertise their play said a word that he did not know was a swear word in the UK... ... "It's a swear word?"

Iamon lyme: Exactly.

"In our country it has not been conservatives who work to run end plays around parents and attempt to gain access to their children. The people who are doing this is the same group of people who attempt to gain access to other peoples money.
In our country, we call them liberals."

At the moment you and Art are saying you want access to their children, under a law you want.

Are you a liberal?

(V): The crime happened in the real world. There was no rape. No rape, no baby. No baby, no abortion. And no one will be able to run an end play around the mother to make the girl do anything, one way or the other.

That's not to say it can't happen. In some places adults not related to a child are legally able to influence and make decisions for that child without a parents knowledge or permission. This means an adult outside the family (not related to the child) could legally have a right traditionally reserved only for the parents, and at the same time not be held responsible for the child or anything the child does. At the same time, and in spite of parental rights slowly eroding away, a parent nevertheless continues to be held fully responsible for their child.

In our country it has not been conservatives who work to run end plays around parents and attempt to gain access to their children. The people who are doing this is the same group of people who attempt to gain access to other peoples money.
In our country, we call them liberals.

(V): Well you know I like Bill. I've seen that clip many times and it doesn't shock or even surprise me he acted this way. Live shows are a tense business and taping a show with retakes etc cnd wear as well. But this clip, with the added back and forth dialogue is hysterical. I think even Bill himself would love this one.

(V): Of course she's a human being. That's what makes scenarios like this one so difficult. But so are situations difficult that involve separating parents from children, which happens in societies. Even children in difficult home situations have a strong bond toward the parents. The larger question has to do with what is right vrs what is clearly wrong. It's clearly wrong to kill an innocent human being. The most vulnerable deserve our protection. That fact is weighed against a woman carrying to term a child she does not want. The greater good is served by allowing the innocent unborn child to live to birth and beyond. There are thousands of loving homes waiting for a child should the woman not want to raise the child herself. We can't escape the fact that we have obligations and responsibilities to each other that sometimes require sacrifice of self interests (parents do this all the time!) for the good of the other.

Iamon lyme: Yes I've seen that in action in the current administration.

(V): Don't you mean to her parent's face? She is 12 years old.

Artful Dodger: A classic from his pre factor days!!

Artful Dodger: ... And the girl is not innocent or a human being?

Sometimes there is no 'good' answer.

Would you sign the order to make the girl have the baby against her will?

.. not from an office, but to her face.

Artful Dodger: I don't know about that, but Cow Ard is a term that aptly describes one of our political parties... the party that fears Islamic terrorism but is fearless in the face of critics who cluster bomb them with words... ouch, that really hurts us Mr Republican, why can't you be nice to us?

Iamon lyme: If Obama loses, America wins. If Obama wins, conservatives just wait it out and in a few years, when America has been ruined, we can say, "We told you so."

But the ONE can't lose in their eyes I think. They are blinded by MR COOL. Even as he turns the country into a cow turd.

Cow Turd is a political term I think.

Artful Dodger: [ Obama is done. He will lose big in Monday night's debate. ]

Whoa, not so fast... let's not get ahead of ourselves! Obama still has time to pull an October surprise.

For example, he could demand to see Romney's birth certificate. Romney should be ready to show that if he has any hope of holding the highest office in this land... and by "this land" I'm refering only to the US. (Sorry UK and Canada, this is our election, not yours) The presidency is a position of enormous power and responsibility, and can't be taken lightly by any Republican hoping to occupy that position. We can't allow some egghead to simply shmooze his way past the people in charge of making sure this election is on the up and up... we can't just let any smooth talking joker talk his way into power without anything to back up his story... can we?

And on a lighter note and for a HUGE laugh, there's this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z_GV6wMgBk&feature=fvsr

There is foul language toward the end. So listener beware.

He's going to lose the election BIG.

Obama is done. He will lose big in Monday night's debate.

Obamanesia – Obama Live Birth Abortion Induced Labor Abortions 2008
by Dgraphics2009

It is well known by Pro-Lifers but not by the general public. The MSM has done everything to keep it that way. We must help get the fact out that Barack Obama strenuously defended the indefensible at least three times.

The procedure is frequently called “Live birth abortion” but it is not really an abortion at all: The goal is simply to prematurely deliver a baby who dies during the birth process or soon afterward.”

http://newsninja2012.com/obamanesia-obama-live-birth-abortion-induced-labor-abortions-2008/

(V): And the consequence of abortion is a human being, innocent of any wrong doing, is killed.

Artful Dodger: No it isn't the pro life position, but it is a consequence of the pro life position being law. Just like when you state that God created everything.. you have to include those nasty bugs such as Ebola.

"Well she can't exactly turn around and kill the real badguy: the rapist."

Actually I think with the clarification now done in the UK.. ok, our laws on defending yourself... she could, at the time of the crime being committed. I think our UK laws would even allow for her to kill him after, later on in life if she saw him.. she might face manslaughter, but more likely to be given care via a section under the mental health act.

" But the innocent unborn child can be killed. We just think there's something wrong with that picture."

I think we all think that, but it's not a black and white position. Bit like the decision I was taught at school was behind the use of the Atomic bombs on Japan.

.. "Millions will die defending Japan if we 'land'.. 10's of 1000's of American troops will die taking Japan.

.... we have a bomb that just might break them, but it'll kill 10's of 1000's in the process and slowly kill many 1000's more"

>>>>> What's nice about either option?

Iamon lyme: True.

Artful Dodger: [ ...the pro abortion lobby would still find excuses to kill the unborn. ]

The pro abortion lobby originally insisted it would only be used in cases of rape and incest. Some people didn't believe that and said it would open the door to abortion on demand. Those people were branded by the left as being right wing extremists.

This is how liberals get what they want and continue to get what they want. They lie to get what they want, and then open the door to something worse when they get it. They are doing it now. Just ask yourself, what are the Obama care critics saying, and what are liberals saying about the critics? History is repeating itself.

If the pro life position were to change and allowed for rape and incest (some do) the pro abortion lobby would still find excuses to kill the unborn.

(V): much more than the unborn will get

(V): Well she can't exactly turn around and kill the real badguy: the rapist. That would be a crime. But the innocent unborn child can be killed. We just think there's something wrong with that picture.

Iamon lyme: It's such a cheap shot comment. No one, including myself wants a 12 year old girl to be forced to have a baby of their rapist. That's not the pro-life position. The Pro Life position is all about the unborn and protecting their right to life. That is a noble position.

The Col: Not funny.

The Col: [ As Obama said to Romney "continue" ]

Oh no, does this mean my poll numbers will drop like Romney's? LoL



oh no, I'm doomed!

(V): "Show me in the rules where I'm not allowed to include a reply from anyone else on the same topic."

I shouldn't have to quote myself and say that again. But I will, and I did... and you will avoid it again.

Iamon lyme: As Obama said to Romney "continue"

In your world you feel sorry for the poor struggling abortionist who can barely make ends meet because fewer women are being raped.

The Col: You clearly read into the story something that wasn't there.

Iamon lyme: Are you now saying someone here fantasies about rape, as a even greater avoidance strategy.

.. mmmmm ..

Iamon lyme: You think you're funny don't you.You clearly have a higher opinion of this intruders intentions than I do.

It's not my place to be throwing cold water on anyone's rape fantasies, but the topic had to do with someone defending herself. There was no rape or mention of rape, so speculating over what the straw men of my world would do is meaningless.

Iamon lyme: I meant to say "Your world", not "You're world". At the last second I decided to moderate myself and edited the post before sending, or it would have (not might have) been moderated for me.

Iamon lyme: uh uh.. your world. N' I know Your playing avoidance games.

Best we can expect from you, leading by example is no longer a great Christian tradition I guess!!

(V): [ .. in your world you'd make her have it. ]

You're world is inhabited by straw men who say whatever you want them to say.

The Col: A death row inmate gets the chance to appeal.

Iamon lyme: For once it'd be nice if you lived to what you expect and give an honest answer to a question.

I'll take it as "It's a catch 22 question for my ideology" .. I'm damned by women if I say I'd force the girl to have a baby.. I'm damned if I say I'd let her abort.

.. that's why the decision is not in your hands, or should be in the states hand, or in the churches' hand.

(V): [ Dude.. your reply was for the Col... ]

No Dude, it wasn't.. I replied to AD. The reply included The Co's obvious concern over whether a 12 year old girl might have been raped or not. He chose to reply in his usual respectful manner and is simply demonstrating his profound respect for all women... of all ages. Show me in the rules where I'm not allowed to include a reply from anyone else on the same topic.

But since the girl was NOT raped, and there was no mention of that possibility in the story, then there really is no reason to speculate about it or to be throwing cold water on anyones speculation about an abortion that could have happened later. We must respect The Co as well, because he is entitled to his opinion whether anyone agrees with it or not.

(V): Yes, they would fight tooth and nail for her to keep the rapists baby, it kinda blows your mind actually. Literally it goes from "shoot that SOB " to
" you must keep his baby"

Iamon lyme: Dude.. your reply was for the Col...

Hypothetically, if the girl was raped and became pregnant.. stated she did not want it, her parents backed her in her decision...

.. in your world you'd make her have it.

Artful Dodger: No one died that day, and no one else will die later because no one was raped. But maybe the guy who broke into her home respects women, and made it a point to bring a condom just in case the opportunity presented itself. Oh well, I guess we will never know what could have happended...
