Your the one who compared it to buying a stock.IPO means Initial Public Offering. A child is not offered to the public. A child is the result of a consentual agreement between two private parties in which the woman has invested the most.
I agree, I am pro-choice.The state then actually oversteps on two levels. Firstly it intrudes on the family unit. Then it intrudes on the woman.Comment

erm, the first Female Prime Minister in Britain was (you guessed it) A CONSERVATIVE.
Not to mention that there are probable more gay men on Tory back benches then in the rest of parliament combined.
To say that the right is 'sexist' s pure arrogance.

I freak ppl out all the time. I come of as "granola", or so my mom says. So, everyone thinks I am some leftist hippie. Just the other month a friend for about 4 years learned that I was a Republican and she about lost it. She went on a tirade about "how can YOU be a repub"? I just smiled and told her I don't talk about politics much, and I am not about to with someone acting like her... She added that she didn't normally get along with republicans, only to have husband tell her that he was one!!!
It was like everyone came out of the closet at once!
Maybe it's only because you don't participate in as many debate threads as others do?? Oh well -- let's not ruin a good thing.
A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

The state does intrude when it has compelling public interest. The protection of children from abuse is one such compelling public interest. Therefore, privacy is not really the issue here.The state then actually oversteps on two levels. Firstly it intrudes on the family unit. Then it intrudes on the woman.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

TD -You don't have to be monastic to understand that it's generally bad for a young, unmarried woman to start having children before leaving high school/college. And if "sex education" has been so wonderful, we would see a decline in out of wedlock birth rates, not a massive increase.So a greater attention to abstinence (does the fundamentalists want to turn the US into a monestary?) will be the policy at the expense of more useful sexual education?
Viable or not, telling young people how to have sex and not focusing on what can happen if they adopt a more promiscuous lifestyle is a recipe for disaster.At the same time saying that masturbation is a viable alternative to sexual intercourse is not considered in accordance with the political mainstream.
Why? If the abstinance message convinces some people to show some restraint, fewer people would be exposed to STD's.I remember a US general surgeon who was fired because of saying precisely that. Moreover teaching abstinence at the expense of contraception will surely mean a spread in sexual diseases.
If you say it won't convince anyone, you have to explain the rise in out of wedlock birth rates accompanying "sex education" and the elimination or reduction of the abstinance message.
Would that include a message about abstinance? Are you a parent? Any children in the 13-19 age range? Do you tell them to run around having sex all they want as long as they use contraception? I'm not a social conservative but some of their views are valid...I can imagine that in more resourceful families the parents will explain how the children should protect themselves.Comment
