@averagejoe1 said"One does not 'force' a woman to carry a baby, she does it herself."
You are saying the govt should force vasectomies, ( we are speaking theoretically of course). You temper that statement somewhat by mentioning forcing women..., in the same sentence.
I take issue with comparing the two, in that the first one is absolute, govt physically acts. There could be ramification for failing to comply, n'est -ce pas?
One does not 'force ...[text shortened]... rnment got to do with that?
Now, where were we? Do you take exceptions to my comments, how so?
By banning abortions you are in fact forcing her to carry the baby.
" I do not want to control women, I 'want' them to be responsible for themselves.. .....their choice."
Their choice to be raped. Their choice to be 12 and abused by some random male. Their choice to have an ectopic pregnancy of suffer a miscarriage for any random reason. Their choice to not afford birth control and live in a taliban state and not have access to a Planned Parenthood.
And even if we ignore these circumstances beyond their control, it is STILL their body, their choice. I don't see you say "Guy gets drunk and runs his truck into a tree, it was his choice therefore he doesn't get to go to a hospital and put his skull back together".
"I do not believe In gun control, because I would not be able to protect my children"
Gun control doesn't mean guns are banned, dumbass. It means yahoos are checked for lunacy, outstanding warrants, some minor facts like "have they threatened someone lately", are they the least bit competent, can they fukin see. You know, the minimum, common sense things one is checked for before being handed something dangerous.
How long does it take to be allowed to operate a forklift. How about to get a license to drive. To fukin cut hair. If it takes you longer to stay in line at the DMV just to start the process of getting a license than it takes a florida man to get an AR-15, something is deeply wrong with your country.
"People who want paid maternity should negotiate a job that offers that. "
Yes, because it's that easy. That's why people work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet, because they are have so much damn negotiating power.
Just earlier this year, a democrat government couldn't or wouldn't force the railway companies to give a single day of paid sick leave. Democrat. Republicans wouldn't even have done half the measly deal the democrats did. This is the corrupt, corporate run country you are in.
