Murder is everyone’s business. And we each retain the right and responsibility not to participate in murder.

If you really don’t know the difference between preventing a pregnancy from occurring, and killing a person who exists, you need more than advice from and an anonymous FReeper.

can’t have freedom without life, jmack.

So, you don’t have any rational, considered, or even slightly informed reason for your bald-faced, false assertion that there is a material difference between Plan B and any other oral contraceptive.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Wow! Hip boots, and a clothes pin.

[Tax-chick]

they'll get huffy with you Tax-chick

So nu? I'll bless their hearts, if they get in a fluff!

[humblegunner]

deal with it

Exactly as you must deal with your illiteracy.

I applaud your perseverance in the face of your obvious handicap.

But you are also infringing on freedom when you force a pharmacist to sell pills that he doesn’t agree with. Nobody is talking about locking up pharmacists who offer such pills.

If the customer doesn’t like it, she can go to another pharmacy. If the owner doesn’t approve of the pharmacist, he can fire him. There is no need to get the govt involved. Isn’t that the libertarian approach?

[humblegunner]

So.. you think illiteracy is admirable and desirable?

What are you trying to do here? Do you have anything substantive to say?

What are you trying to do here? Do you have anything substantive to say?

Look at you with those capital letters!

Well done!

[ari-freedom]

OK, but you are still a little jerk. :P

[ExpatGator]

My point is: You are insinuating that the employee has the right to hold a private business to his beliefs.

Would you extend this power to all employees or just ones who agree with you?

[humblegunner]

OK, but you are still a little jerk. :P

Well, if trying to keep FR from looking like it is populated by 13 year old texting teens makes me a jerk...

I'll be your jerk.

I'm a pretty big jerk, though.

Technically, abortion would kill a baby if the baby could live on it’s own. If the baby requires another human to be attached to it to survive, that other human has every right to say they don’t want to be attached, and if the baby dies, there’s nothing a state can or should do.

Technically, you have posted your opinion.

Now we know.

First:

If you ever get liberals to agree with you on abortion, it will be a matter of time before they propose a giant government agency to over see attaching some random person with some type of organ failure to you, maintaining if you refuse to allow this person to be your siamese twin you’d be killing them, as you are the best tissue matched candidate. After all, life trumps all, even your freedom.

I hope you didn't spend much time coming up with that, it has to be one of the worst arguments for keeping abortion legal I've ever come across.

Second, the fact that you clearly can't see a difference between dogs and humans troubles me, but it also suggests that arguing with you is a waste of time.
