Missouri Republican: 'Legitimate rape' rarely causes pregnancy

[Darth Wagtaros]

Maybe, maybe not.  I have a hard time feeling bad for someone who lets the process go along for seven or eight months before deciding to do something about it.

Agree completely. Cut off should be 16 weeks, in my opinion. If you can't figure out what to do in 2-4 months, then you'll be given another 5-6 months to work out what to do with the kid once it's born.

So why the fuck are you giving me such a hard time when we believe in the same damn thing?

UST?

I told you that I agreed with what you said, except the bit about parental notification. I don't understand the confusion.

[Capetan Mihali]

Isn't there something of a demand for healthy white babies  to adopt?

Pretty sure there's a demand for healthy babies of all colours to adopt.  People generally aren't flying over to China to adopt because they specifically want a Chinese baby.

They're flying over to China because they specifically do not want an African-American baby, at least here.

The cost may be more for an overseas adoption, but you often get a younger child and you don't risk the parents coming back and trying to take the kid.

Do you recall:

Oh? Well, as a woman who nearly died during two pregnancies, and then had serious and severe health complications after because of those pregnancies, I kind of feel as though I have a bit more right to have an opinion on this than someone who will never go through anything like this.

You don't know what will happen during a pregnancy until you go through it. It is not my right nor yours to force someone to deal with those because we feel it's the right thing to do. Period.

[Razgovory]

Meri's position is absurd.  You could use the same argument (you didn't go through this, you have no right to make laws governing it!), with all sorts of shit.

As well as I remember this:

Does adoption "fuck up their life"?

Pregnancy certainly can.

While pregnancy can have serious and long-term health consequences, it is pretty rare, and is pretty much confined to people with pre-existing medical conditions.  A healthy female, who receives appropriate medical supervision during pregnancy, has little to worry about.

Re-read what I posted, Raz. I'm pretty damn sure that I didn't say what you think I said.

Meri's position is not absurd.

[Maximus]

And you should. Any law should be able to stand up to this challenge.

Why?

Regarding rape & pregnancy:

If you're trying to avoid getting pregnant, here's another reason to mistrust the rhythm method of birth control: New research confirms that the fluid in semen, long dismissed as primarily a vehicle for sperm, contains a substance that can trigger ovulation and other pregnancy-supporting hormonal responses in female mammals.

[Siege]

That was a major find, Syt.
It changes everything I new about sex and reproduction for the foreseeable future.

The same science which makes your guns work proves that the rhythm method doesn't.

[Razgovory]

Same science that makes his enemies guns work as well.
