To begin, I did read your About Page and was impressed with your choice of words - well written, indeed. Largely, I agree with you. However, some of your post #17 I have some issues with. So, ....

I am a biologist, but any sentient being other than a Liberal knows that life is good, and in most cases, preferable to the alternative.
That we humans should be freed from our biology?
Has not happened, but the DNA folks are working on it Soon, we will have the option to control our genes and thus take control of our physical beings and that of our offspring. What a Happy Thought - no more Libtard collectivists! Oops, those things will also have free choice, as will real people. Hmmmn , .......

An amazing number of high IQ women seem unable to count sufficiently to successfully use the Pill. Trust me on this.

Not really a relevant statement - I was suggesting the gooberment be kept out of this decision loop.
In closing, may I suggest that your well phrased “Societal suicide is the government paying, housing and feeding women who consistently have children out of wedlock.”, while accurate, be replaced with “Societal suicide is allowing government to subsidize industrial scale bastard farming.” I am not fond of euphemisms. “Bastards” is both technically and behaviorally more correct. The “Urban Feral” syndrome is perhaps apropos to this suggestion.
PS The pink cowboy boots in your daughter’s photo led me to suggest your looking up Oleg Volk’s poster of a little girl holding her pink teddy bear in one hand and an AR-15 with pink furniture in the other hand.
I'm familiar with Kurzweil and his co-transhumanists. It's not an ideology I embrace, but it seems destined to happen. Build the better human, the better society all through centralized planning and scientific consensus. Clones, artificial wombs, digitizing the human mind...but the soul is eternal & will always exist. New ideologies will form, be they "libtards" or not. Variation is the essence of life, despite attempts at conformity. Good and evil will battle for as long as the material world exists. I always fantasized human evolution would be spiritual one, not a mechanically/ genetically enhanced one. But to do that, we humans would all have to be on the same metaphysical plane, which is impossible.

I do. It's evident from my homepage I was one of those smart yet dumb females. I trusted in institutions that I shouldn't have. It wasn't counting that a problem, but the BC pills didn't "work" anyway. I was a naive woman-child who got pregnant, kept her baby, decided adoption was not the right option, and proved it by marrying her baby's father.

I cannot agree. I--and millions others--believe abortion is the murder of a unique human life, one who temporarily shares the body of his mother. Those beliefs are due to natural law. According to theses laws, dismembering a fetus, dousing him an a chemical wash that burns him to death or vaccuum-sucking him out of the womb is killing a human being; no different than stabbing a twenty-year-old to death. States must prosecute murder, but if they refuse to do so, the Federal government may step in as due process is required when a person is deprived of their life. By "keeping out of this decision loop" the gooberment has made a decision to allow murder of a select group of humans.

"Industrial scale bastard parenting" would be more accurate. As a teenager who got herself pregnant, the only bastards involved were my boyfriend and myself for acting in an irresponsible manner and not immediately rectifying the situation (getting married right away). Children should not be condemned or called names for the sins of their parents. When "bastard children" are adopted by couples, do they stop being bastards? Condemn the parents, not the children.
And then there's divorce...What makes a child of divorce more acceptable than a child born out of wedlock? Both children can suffer through no fault of their own. I detest divorce among married couples with children as much as I do out-of-wedlock births that do not result in marriage.
Anyway, I do appreciate your tone in this discussion. I may come off a bit shrill when it comes to the matter of abortion. But it's because I have seen so many women think they are making the right "choice," encouraged them not to, only to see the emptiness of their souls afterwards. Abortion is not in any way pro-woman.
P.S. No, any similarity between that pic and the photographer's are coincidental, but I remember that Halloween well. My daughter had a shiny metallic, white-handled cap gun that she adored, and at the last moment, I replaced it with an orange water gun. This was around the time fellow Long Islander John White was prosecuted for shooting a teen who threatened him outside his house. We were trick o' treating around that neighborhood, and I didn't think it wise to carry a "realistic weapon." That was another stupid move on my part and never heard the end of it. Rightly so.
