Ok...I don't really feel like jumping in on this....but I feel I must.

 

The question asked:  Do you think couples with hereditary diseases should be allowed to reproduce? And you said "no"...but you didn't say anything (and neither did the test) about having sex.  Now we all know that protected sex prevents unwanted babies...but the forms of protection often fail...or are neglected.  So if the government were to forbid couples with herditary diseases from procreating (again, which is difefrent from having sex)...an emergency abortion would have to be conducted.

And that's the rub.

 

sterilization.

I thought you were pro life? Don't you believe abortion is wrong even if the pregnant woman's life is in danger (or am I thinking of someone else). And then you say something like that? Doesn't that seem a bit hypocritical?. 

Anyway, just to use one of pro-lifers favourite arguments against them, you just killed Beethoven.

 

 

1) But this isnt even the issue.  Not allowing someone have a child, is not the same as abortion. 

2) In regards to beethoven though...Deaf  people are more than able to live happy, healthy, and productive lives within our societies.  So i wouldnt even classify it like that.  

 

and i am pro life, but thats not my correct position

 

1) The point was that if it was your choice, you wouldn't abort a fetus, even if the woman's life was in danger. But you would prevent that woman from having a baby, because she might pass her disease on to her offspring, which could harm others. Do you see why that is hypocritcal? But if thats not your stance then forget I said it.

2) The pro-life argument goes like this. A married couple visit the doctors for advice on whether they should have an abortion. The male has syphilis, the female also has a disease. The couple have already had five children. Some died in infancy from diseases passed on from their parents. The others survived, but have diseases as well. If you were the doctor, would you advise them to have the fetus aborted? If you said yes, you just killed Beethoven. Because apparently Beethoven's dad had syphilis and his mum had diseases etc etc. 

You would stop them from having children in the first place. Therefore you killed Beethoven.

On a similar note....I've always thought that parents should have to take a test before they have children....and pass a class.

But I hear that's fascist talk....so there you go.

The George W. Bush Loyalty Quiz
10 Questions to Test Your Allegiance to President Bush

Your score is 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a True Believer in President Bush. Your loyalty and devotion to him is matched only by your desire to see his liberal detractors locked away and declared enemy combatants. Given the chance, you'd gladly vote Bush a third term, and if America were so blessed, you'd be perfectly content if Bush were president for life.

 

 

Your Conservative Breed: Free Marketeer

You are a Free Marketeer, also known as a fiscal conservative. You believe in free-market capitalism, tax cuts, and protecting your hard-earned cash from pick-pocketing liberal socialists.

interesting...i got a 9 as well.   it wasnt a particularly good quiz though.  most of the options were simply propaganda against him with no basis in fact leaving very few real choices.

Dude, halogamer, did you see my last post? You're closer to Hillary Clinton than to John McCain, and pretty far from Bush.

You're obviously in the wrong party.
