I guess its just

if church hospitals arent mandated to perform abortions, women should not be mandated to undergo pre abortion invasive procedures,,,,


that word 'mandate' always causes controversy,, where as
'option' is much more reasonable

equating homosexual relationships with heterosexual ones, having the government sanction such activity is the issue

Im not speaking about making abortion illegal, Im speaking only of certain prerequisites to abortion

as to the reality of botched abortion, I do think education makes a HUGE difference,,,I think during roe vs wade period it was still stigmatized to have pre marital sex, or be pregnant outside of marriage,, all contributing to the pressure to not have a baby,,

these stigmas no longer exist, so those times are not quite as relevant to modern times

I see no reason to believe women will be any more likely to day to perform a botched abortion than they will be to use better precautions before they become pregnant

not enough information here

happiness is not a constant or tangible thing, we will be happy at times and unhappy at others regardless of our relationship status

I have been in an unhealthy relationship which I didnt want to be the pattern for my childs perspective of what is 'normal', we worked on it until one refused to work on it anymore and we went our seperate ways

I have been both the one who was tired of working on it and the one who was still willing to work on it,,


the one I left, still remained a part of his childs life, and I wouldnt have it any other way because he is a great father and I wouldnt remove a father from a childs life for ANY reason except that he was abusive towards them


if you stay and work on it,, great, if you leave, it doesnt mean that your child will not have a father anymore,,, parents and spouses have seperate roles,,,,


,,just a thought

lol,, not at all

It may have just gone over my head,,,seemed like it was something a pet owner would ask their vet about,,


you arent creepy at all, its great to love our pets,,,

the 'it' in this post isnt clear,,, can you be more specific?

I dont believe its 'reality' at all. I believe some women may resort to such extremes, but I think most are either better educated or just plain not willing to risk such an experiment on their own body


its just as likely that more women will be more cautious BEFORE they get pregenant so they wont be at that point in the first place,,,,

but there is no way to measure which 'reality' is more likely,,,,

you have a point,,,not sure where I fall on the conserv-lib line, but there are many things I dont wish others to expose my kids too,,,however honest or factual they may be


I am pro life, but I think such a display is irresponsible in a place where children frequent,,,

as far as I know,, the laws of the land come FIRST

any religious practice that doesnt conflict with THE LAW,, is basically a right


child molestation, assault, murder,,etc,, are against the law
any such religious practice would/should also be,,,


wearing a certain article of clothing is not against any law, and therefore would/should be a right,,,

by allowing that persons wants, desires, actions, beliefs, to dictate their own,,,,,

wow,, are you running a marathon? because that was quite a STRETCH,,,,

I have more faith than that in women,, and I still believe it would have no bearing on how often I would personally have to 'see' such an image,,,

For me, when I love a person its forever,, no falling out of love for me

however, when I just love a situation, or a few of the feelings a relationship causes,,,,


I have lost interest in the person when that situation was no longer present, or those feelings no longer were being caused,,,

I think the one given the most control, controls the relationship

some people do give control to those who dont really care

others dont,,,

how is this in the dating thread

shouldnt it be in the pets thread? (is there a pets thread?)

why?

you hit the nail on the head

in cyber world, the first thing most see and therefore 'judge' is the picture, the physical appearance

in real life though, when we are actually interacting with bodies, confidence can pretty much create or kill attraction

the moat average physical entity can be the sexiest thing in the world when they are confident and carrying themself with integrity, respect for others, and self respect

the sexiest physical entity can turn away alot of people if they carry themself with excessive uncertainty

not at all,, people have different emotional needs

some need to feel needed to the point of preferring very 'clingy' personalities over independent ones

some dont


some feel a need to be excited and entertained to the point of preferring those with more drama as opposed to less,,,


,,,its preference, I think theres nothing wrong with it, when it comes to peoples 'lifestyles'( a bit difference if based on things that arent a choice, like race or gender)

me: very reserved, not very emotional(except always smiling),


a hard 'read' for those that are used to playing the game,,,so to speak
