Hey Women Take That. Ha Ha Ha ...giddy about restricting women's rights

SF Chronicle ^ | Mark Morford

Let us, right here and now, get this very straight.

No one wants abortion. Isn't that reassuring? No one likes abortion. No woman anywhere in the entire world who accidentally and/or tragically and/or violently and/or sadly became pregnant and did not intend to, wants to suffer this, ever.

Rat woman treated after 1,000 animals killed

Saturday 13th January 2001

A laboratory researcher has been treated at hospital because she is devastated by the death of more than 1,000 rats.

Gwynneth Quick, who has been dubbed Rat Woman, kept the rats at her home near Cape Town because she couldn't stand the way they were being treated at work.

Authorities only found out about the rats when she locked herself out of her house and called police for help.

Police found rats running all over the house where they had destroyed most of the furniture and internal fittings. Only one room was reserved for human habitation.

Ms Quick, said to be an exceptionally intelligent woman with a number of university degrees, was treated in hospital after the house was fumigated and the rats killed.

She has now been readmitted for further treatment.

I sense that Mr. Morford does not care for Christians.

Rotter (Rattus norvegius og Rattus rattus)

Herhjemme er det oftest vandrerotten, også kaldet den brune rotte (Rattus norvegius) som man støder på. Man kan dog stadig støde på husrotten, også kaldet den sorte rotte, eller pest rotten (Rattus rattus) men det er efterhånden en sjældenhed.

Rotterne ødelægger store værdier årligt, ved at beskadige bygninger, samt æde og tilsvine store mængder af fødevarer. Samtidigt er rotterne store smittespreder af for eksempel den dødelige Weils syge. De er også medvirkende til de mange mere eller mindre alvorlige tilfælde af salmonella baserede madforgiftninger.

Man kan sagtens have både have vandrerotter og husrotter i den samme ejendom. I sådan et tilfælde vil vandrerotten holde til i de nederste etager og kælderen, mens husrotten vil invadere de øverste etager.

Rotter kan husere både i landbrugsejendomme, boligkvarterer samt industriområder, og det påhviler ejeren af en ejendom at sørge for at bygninger er i en forsvarlig rotte-sikret tilstand, ved Lovbekendtgørelse nr. 590, af 27.juni 1994 (Miljøbeskyttelseloven).

Såfremt man har observeret rotter, skal det også anmeldes til kommunen.

Bentex kan, i tilfælde af en observeret rotteplage, iværksætte en bekæmpelse af rotterne, i overenstemmelse med de af Statens Skadedyrlaboratorium's udstukne retningslinjer og forordninger.

Bentex kan rottesikre deres bygning som forebyggende bekæmpelse mod rotter. Med den mangeårige erfaring der forefindes i firmaet, ved Bentex's desinfektører ofte, hvor og hvordan rotterne trænger ind i bygninger, og kan dermed anvise den bedste metode til at forhindre en rotteinvasion ad disse adgangsveje.

Ønsker De professionel bistand med Deres skadedyrsplage, er De velkommen til at kontakte Bentex enten via telefon, telefax, eller elektronisk post.

Yes, it is the woman's legal choice to abort for now. Of course, that doesn't mean that's a good thing - in fact, it's horrible, awful, terrible, tragic, perverted and many other things, but it is the way it is.

For now.

Lord, I hope you have your followers leave that city before you send it into the ocean. There's a city just asking for heavenly fury.

In enlightened ancient Athens, the cradle of modern civilization, abortion was legal and ethically accepted, as with other famed Greek city-states. You can look it up.

Perhaps, but the attack on Roe v. Wade is about the most idiotic thing the GOP can do. What better way to alienate most of the electorate?

Reproductive choice is not just an ethics debate. The case was in part decided in order to cleanse this country of Alleyway butchers, bloody coat hangers, and other barbaric practices. The only thing that will happen when we ban abortion is that we will create a thriving black market for RU-486. It is hard to see how that would be better then what we have now, and easy to see how attacking the key womens' issue will cost us in moving every other item we care about. Is this just the next and latest loser installment on our ongoing "War on Drugs"?

Some of the Christian Right needs to get out more. We don't live in Shangri-La; we live in a world that is far from perfect. We all hope to make things better; but, we should act from reason, rather than a knee-jerk emotion. Perhaps we can place some reasonable safeguards around the process, and we should certainly make sure that we are not doing anything to reward or encourage abortions, but, we should stop short of encouraging a return to the insanity we had before Roe V. Wade.

Ping!

The Admin Moderator was kind enough to restore this particular duck to our local barrel. Time to pass out the ammo and take a shot.

People who drive SUVs = selfish and evil

Woman who get abortions for reasons such as "their whole life being ahead of them" = heroic in the face of tough circumstances.

[Snuffington]

But it is, as it has always been, her choice, and no one else's. Oh yes it is.

I looked up and down through this article to find any reasoning what-so-ever that leads the confused liberal who wrote this article to the above conclusion. After sorting through the heated (yet ploddingly typical) leftist hyperventilating on the topic, I can only find the following point to support the central assertion:

Women have always had abortions.

That's it.

After much bloviating, Chirstian bashing, and name calling, the reason it is a woman's choice and no one else's, according to the esteemed Mark Morford, is because they've always had them.

Mr. Morford doesn't even attempt to explore whether these abortions have "always" been the choice of the women having them. There are numerous examples of forced abortions extending through history. They even go on today.

It would seem odd that Mr. Morford says the reason something is a woman's choice is because it has always occurred - even sometimes when it has not been her choice. The reasoning here doesn't quite line up.

But of course that's not the worst problem with Mr. Morford's unusual thinking. It would be far worse if one agreed with him, and extended his reasoning to other arenas. Here are a few other things that have "always" happened: rape, murder, and theft. For some reason, despite these items being "always" with us, we don't find that a compelling reason to justify them. They've always been with us, they've always been wrong, and there's nothing contradictory about that statement.

We don't have a right to steal. We don't have a right to rape. We don't have a right to murder. And we don't have the right to abortion.
