Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Dick composed that post back in October but forgot to hit the "Post" button till today.

 

Yeah, I think it does.

 

It isn't a dishonest argument. For those who believe life begins at conception, the choice is obvious. For those who believe something more nebulous, that choice is not obvious. The potential to become a human is not the automatic qualification for there being a human. You believe life begins at conception (or at least so you have argued) and that is fine. I, however, don't. At least it isn't a fully formed nor viable human. The ending of cell division (dammit I really wanted to not sound like Baron) isn't the same as ending a human's life. I respect those who have a different view on the matter. But looking at this from a nonreligious viewpoint and purely based on what I understand of science (which I'll admit isn't as much as I would like it to be), I take the opposite view and respect those choice of women who have exercised their rights to practice that view.

 

I love how I'm wrong when I use essentially the same definition as Merriam-Webster.

 

I don't think I've ever argued that I believe life begins at conception.

 

Oh, I understand perfectly well. Certain people believe that a pregnancy from rape is a blessing, so the rape victims shouldn't be having abortions because it's not the fetus' fault that the woman feels her pregnancy is a punishment.

 

But I think in order to make an honest argument, you have to acknowledge that other side, even just to quickly swat it away.

 

Forgive me if I read too much into what you have written, but based on the stance that you have taken with regards to whether a fetus has rights (or at least considerations) in terms of abortions has led me to that conclusion.

 

I think inherent to this whole debate is the consideration of a potential life—do you allow it to form to term or do you prevent it from forming to full term? I don't think it needs to always be acknowledged when discussing a woman's rights in terms of what to do after being raped.

 

I'm beginning to worry that Trump might not get the GOP nomination after all.

But I'm linking this story only to note my disappointment that Mr. Brabender is the name of Santorum's, not Trump's, operative.

Donald Trump is enduring one of the worst weeks of his campaign. Is it a bump or a turning point?

 

Better be careful. Brabender will crush your spleen.

 

LOL ... I noticed that name, too.
