The Gaming Den

You will not change a pro-life stance until you change the fundamental assumption that a fetus/embryo is equal to an already born baby. Yea, blame that old Jefferson guy for writing that all men are created (not born) equal. But that still begs the question of "what is equal?" The fundame...

I saw this on my Nation States Regional Forum and I had to share.

Unfortunately their board allows html code.

I'll just use the embed HTML as a direct link HERE and it oddly enough works. Enjoy "Teans react toMy Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."

My guess is that there is a minimal requirement of the age of the fetus before the external ultrasound will pick up the fetus in detail.

Okay, but why does mom-to-be need to see it? If there is a medically relevant reason to not perform the abortion (keep in mind Perry has admitted that this is not the progenitor of the law), then give mom-to-be the option of seeing it if she needs the visual aid...but why (other than guilting her i...

And the best joke of all is that the procedure still has a significant number of both false positives and false negatives. It's better than a PSA test but it's still no guarentee that you either have or have not got a problem.

Dude, you advocated sending women who wanted abortions to rape rooms where they would have their vaginas violated with rods against their will and the advice of doctors. PoliteNewb, the above statement is so far wrong, that I could literally spend pages explaining why almost every word is wrong in ...

PoliteNewb wrote:"The right forum" being one where people agree with you?

No. The right forum is any place where people act civilized. Hell I'd much rather discuss this on Gather where 90% of the posters are pro-choice liberals than here. And I might make a few cents out of it.

Face it. Tzor does not know the implications of any of his claims or demands, he does not CARE about the implications and he CERTAINLY feels absolutely NO moral or logical compulsion to be beholden to them in any shape or form. Otherwise he would tell us what the fuck he wants to actually DO about ...

I assume you mean invasive. Yes I type badly. The degree of invasiveness is irrelevant. If I stick my entire penis into someone it is more invasive than if I stick just the tip in, but whether or not either is a problem is entirely dependent on whether or not the person I'm sticking it in wants me ...

Well if we go by my argument that the abortion procedure itself requires a more evasive penetration into a woman's vagina, and if we go my Frank's counter example, then Frank must think he is fucked up the ass every time he boards a plane.

(Riot's going to love the responses to that one.)

Without consent, dipshit. I don't think you got that one part. You have consent for the whole procedure. It's not like you have consent for every specific element in the procedure. You consent for the entire procedure and this step is merely one element in that procedure which is no more invasive t...

Apparently I am the hypocrite (and a terrible person as well). I’m not the one using hyperbole with the notion that, as Frank States, “Forcing any object into a woman's vagina is rape.” So what definition of the word do you wish to use? This isn’t Alice in Wonderland, words actually have real meanin...

Like I said ... I rest my case. (And oh my is Frank resorting to Wiki Answers ... god is that site horrid.) Why don't we try a LEGAL definition. rape 1) n. the crime of sexual intercourse (with actual penetration of a woman's vagina with the man's penis) without consent and accomplished through forc...

It's ok being called a monster, although that blind guy's soup is too hot! According to Zeng et al., "The practice was largely forsaken in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s." (Zeng et al., "Causes and Implications," p. 294.) Coale and Banister likewise acknowledge a "decline of ex...

If you believe that life begins right at conception, and before implantation, then the act of attempting to make babies has killed more than anything in the world added together, what with the 50 - 90% failure rate. So, forgive me if I don't find this all that compelling. Yes, but that is another i...

You can't kill another human being because your life is in danger, but you can totally kill a fetus if carrying the pregnancy to term is a danger to you. You know I am pretty sure the laws of self defence has not yet been repealed. You can't kill another human being because they happen to remind yo...

Well the "money making" comment was Steve's and not a part of the actual site. One can actually debate the concept, although one does not have to compare it to doctors without borders. There are a lot of regular doctors who have a hard time breaking even (in the United States) between all ...

You know, there used to be a time when none of the pro-life friends I know had email (and some still don't). Slowly they started getting on facebook and twitter. Now they have a pro-life wiki.

Yes, but you know the Joker, always ready to put words in Batman's mouth.

I heard some Republican bobble head talk about how under Obama the price of gas had doubled from 1.68 a gallon to 3.30 a gallon. And my first thought was, "wait, when has it been under 2.00 in the last 6 years" and my second thought, "What about when it went up to over 4 under Bush.&...

Jigoku, If I shoot you in the head and take your heart and transplant it how can you say you are dead when your heart is still alive?

Absolutely. The format is terrible, and the only reason that it's not ten times as terrible is because the powers are ultra-simplified as a rule. Reading pages and pages of powers with little to no related fluff is terribad. I have to agree. Rule designers have to look at the layout concepts behind...
