        I was a non-theist (read agnostic) when I became anti abortion. Since I ain't now I can't vote.

            I voted atheist. Non-theist would probably be most appropriate.

              If the person who voted "atheist" wishes their vote to remain "atheist" rather than "agnostic", I will change it back, or perhaps they prefer "non-theist". Just PM me.

                  I had my androids removed when they took my tonsils out back when I was a young'un.

                  I'm always still in trouble again

                    Meanwhile, there's no option in the Poll for Sparko being a poopiehead.

                        That would work for me, if it worked. But it doesn't, so I support more robust options.

                        *obviously the notable exception is women forced against their will to engage in sex.
                        I consider that an extreme case of a more general problem: lack of control. Most kids aren't wired up right for self-control, and less than half of them are growing up with the double-parental control that could replace it. It's better to fix the problem you've got rather than the problem you wish you had, I'm thinking.

                        The most reliable information on abortion I can find comes from the Guttmacher Institute. All but a tiny fraction of abortions come from unintended pregnancies, and nearly all of them come from unprotected sex.

                        There are folks who call themselves pro-life who are also anti-birth control. One contradicts the other.

                            Meh.... not necessarily. I mean, yeah, there ARE people who are both, but a lot of us (don't know the percentage) are against the birth control that terminates the development of the fertilized egg. THAT is not self contradictory.

                              It's important to differentiate between such methods correctly. For instance, all of the methods at issue in the Hobby Lobby case work by preventing ovulation. So it's quite possible to think one is against "birth control that terminates the development of the fertilized egg" while actually being against birth control that doesn't. I don't question their sincerity, just their science. Scored by intention, it's not self-contradictory. But in practice, the bottom line is that it's sure to increase the number of abortions.

                              I had exactly one "abortion" thread on the pre-crash TWeb. I think I titled it "Two out of three ain't good," referring to the trinity "safe, legal, and rare." I'm wondering if you ever read it?
