    What’s the obscure language all about? Is your collar a bit tight or something? I thought you might like this:

    The irony of it all, this is a thread where non-Christians are 'shocked' because we don't give the pulpit over to non-Christians. ..
    ...then when their fellow non-Christians masquerade as priests to molest children, they blame the Church

    Do you know that a lot of the most dedicated enemies of gays and their ilk are those who saw value in male friendship, showmanship, public displays of affection, singing, and yes, even sensitive guys? It's almost as though they'd rather use their talents and inclinations humbly in a functional society instead of trampling on the common trust and demanding that the society submit to the most extreme expressions of those inclinations.

    That sounds rather a bit like the type of thing that a tyrant or oligarch might say, don't you think? And after that, you say this:

    misogynistic, chauvinistic, supremacist men think it is their business to decide what women can or cannot to their own bodies. I would not expect a woman to tell me what I can do to mine.
    I would if I got married to her, but the respecting and enforcement of contracts isn't exactly a liberal's strong suit.

    The age at which a foetus is entitled to legal personhood is a medical/scientific/moral question that ought to involve both sexes.
    I'm of the mind that having these things decided by women and disinterested specialized committees probably isn't a good idea.

    Female infanticide in India is a very strange cultural phenomenon.
    "We are crazy for boys. We mourn when girls are born," says Rajan Singhi, a farmer in Devda and a father of two boys, who is proud of his long ancestry as a member of the warrior Bhatti Rajput clan.
    In most cases the killing takes place within 24 hours of a baby’s birth and the crime is committed either by the mother or the midwife, he says.
    "I have heard that people administer opium or thrust a small but heavy sack filled with sand or mustard seeds on the baby’s face. Many mothers do not breast feed their daughter, starving the child to death," Singhi says.”

    Why do you think you can prevent that by stopping abortion? If anything, early abortion of female foetuses would reduce suffering.
    And the early suppression of knowledge of the truth would make it possible for the tyrant to rule with much less bloodshed! See, your philosophy of 'be as servile to evil and aggressive people as possible' isn't that hard to see if you look carefully!

    Reading that passage made me more of the 'genocide the evil corrupt Bhatti Rajput clan and unburden the earth of their cursed family line' frame of mind, but to each their own.

    This is why you should stop pretending to know what you are talking about and try to learn before you speak. I don't know what your biology classes taught you, but mine would say that a fetus is not part of a woman's body and will not be, no matter how much you wish that was true. See, I have a different genetic code than my daughter, so how could she had been part of my body, during the fetus stage, if we didn't share the same genetic code? The second problem here is that you don't understand the law either. We tell people what they can do with their own bodies all the time. Can I go into a crowded room and just start swinging my arms wildly around? Why not? Is it because it might hurt somebody else? So if we say the unborn are persons and an abortion is the taking of a life that isn't yours to take, how can such a thing be 'misogynist' when the reason has nothing at all to do with what you claim? This is what happens when you keep speaking before you think. You end up looking quite foolish. Now do yourself a favor FF, stop talking. It would be the best option for you; at this point in time.

    Still desperately trying to avoid the fact that the very thing you support, supports the killing of fetus because of their sex? I understand, it must be hard to accuse other people of being misogynist, while supporting such a misogynistic practice.
