Korey seems a little pissed in that episode. He's like "FUCK PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE POLITICS" "FUCK NIGEL DUNGIN" "FUCK PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA" "FUCK SMOKERS", I guess he needs a call in show to blow off steam.

@Bevonkiss: I feel for you. How painful it must be to be forced to read civil discussions about serious issues. Oh wait, no one's forcing you to read any of this. :-/

Let's ease the pain. This is what ACON comments should be like:

The Washington Post doesn't just think that Mitt Romney flips sides. I honestly found this at random looking for a civil rights political cartoon. Don't know if this is fitting, putting in perspective or Washington Post being trollish. Just look at the picture and come to your own conclusions.

@JeWelz:

I see everybody who is for abortion is already born...

It's hard to have an opinion when you haven't been born yet. :-S

Ron Paul's stance on the current election pretty much sums up my own frustration with it. If SMART conservatives place their vote on the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson then that's Mitt's fault for being a fucking bad candidate. There are plenty of fiscal conservatives out there, like Ron Paul, Gary Johnson and myself, who also care about social issues and want to get us out of these wars. It's a shame Ron Paul didn't win the nomination, as it really says a lot about what the Republican party has become, a party that's really isn't about small government or individualism, just a bunch of privileged assholes who want to hand out corporate welfare to their friends, pander to big banks, and authoritate the rest of the American citizens.

This argument is still going on?! KyleRoger already won the thread:

Technically, Life begins way before conception. A sperm cell is a life. I'm killing countless lives every day. So it's really a question of multi-cellular complexity and intelligence. I wasn't self-aware until I was about 3, so I wouldn't see a problem with aborting a child up to a year or two after its birth. But just to compromise, let's keep abortion within the first couple months of pregnancy.

Having studied the main arguments for and against abortion, this above quote, while arbitrary, is the most practical.

@ Movieartman

Hmmm. Well I would say a few things. If you are Pro Choice then you are against the right of a woman to choose how she is able to handle an unwanted or dangerous pregnancy. The Pro Life platform defines how a woman is to deal with these issues in very specific terms, most notably excluding the choice of abortion from her options.

I would reiterate my last point, that by forcing a woman to have the child you are forcing her to lend her body to another life form against her will, this would be illegal in every other case. The reason for this is that a fetus for the majority of it's life is a dependent life form, as in it is dependent on the mothers body to live. A similar situation would be if you and a family member were hooked up to each other via an IV. If that IV were severed your family member would die. While I might look down on you for severing the IV that supplies your family member with life at expense, even if mild, to your own health, I would respect your right to choose whether or not you would have that procedure. You cannot force another human being to lend their body or their health to another under penalty of law, we have to respect the rights of our fellow citizens to choose how their bodies are used.

If it is to come down to choosing one life over another I would make this distinction. A fetus for the majority of it's existence is not independent and up until a child is around 16-18 our brains are still developing. This is one of the main reasons we do not charge children as the same as adults when the same crime is committed. So in the early stages of pregnancy we are not talking about a life vs a life, but the possibility of a life vs the rights of an already living and developed person to make decisions. If it is a late term abortion, then you are beginning to decide which life you are valuing because even though we live in a technologically advanced society, pregnancy and birth are still dangerous and can lead to the death of the mother.

So in order to preserve the possible lives of all these children you need to take into consideration what rights you are willing to revoke and who's lives you are willing to put in danger. Mentioning this, I would add you are now putting yourself, and a government official in charge of making this very personal and very hard decision, that I believe is not only the right, but also better made between a mother and her doctor.

Pro Choice is not Pro Abortion, it is Pro Choice.

@ The Kilted Animator

think you for your intellegent and calm reply its a nice change from the folks saying i should have been aborted, and that im a sexist woman hating bigot.

i just cant understand how people think killing a child in the womb is some how not on the same level as random murder in the street, and how anyone can be ok with it. but in some ways its worse instead of ending a persons life after thev have a bit or even a majority of a life. your ending it before it even began evreything the child is, everything it will ever be, could ever acomplish is over and will never happen.

now that abortions have been allowed for so long, yeah it would be problimatic in the matters of how they could go about enforcng such a law. and again in certain dire medical situations mabye it should be allowed for the health of the parent

and this is not cus im not for the rights of women, its just evreyone is looking at it from the mothers point of view and none are looking at it from the defenseless childs view :/

@ Movieartman

I think a few points need to be made. Being Pro Choice is not equal to being Pro Abortion. The Pro Choice movement is not about encouraging more abortions but about respecting the rights of women to be able to make decisions on their own bodies. Whether I agree with abortion or not does not feed into my stance on Pro Choice, because in the end, it isn't my call to make, it's not my child, and it's not my body.

Another note, is that a fetus is not an independent life form until the umbilical cord has been severed and often premature births can mean death for the fetus. A fetus is a dependent life form and requires the mothers body to survive. A woman should not be required, under law, to support another life form against her will, as much as you or any other citizen is not required to donate organs or blood against their will even if that person is a close family member and even if that means the persons death.

I stand as a Pro Choice advocate because I respect a woman's right to chose what happens to her own body. Lastly I would end this with a question. If abortion was made illegal, what would be the punishment for a woman who sought an abortion? Would it be jail time, a fine? If a desperate woman cannot have an abortion legally, do you believe she would have one illegally, and do you believe places that offer illegal abortions would have the same level of medical standards and safety that a legal abortion clinic does? Do you think this will have an effect on rape victims to come forward if they know they will be punished by the law for seeking an abortion of the child they did not choose to have?

@Damocles

how the fuck do you get the idea that i hate women?

the baby should not be punished for the acts of the father. it didnt choose to be brought in to existence thru such a horrific act. im not asking the mother to live with the baby past the 9 months it takes to give birth.

its not that the babys rights are more important than the womans its simply the fact that she should not and does not have the right to have the baby murdered in her womb anymore than i should have the right to kill some random person on the street.

@movieartman well in a way you are defending the rapist. You are asking a person who live with the results of a crime against them. The babies rights? So basically you are saying the rights of the baby superceed the rights of the women.

You understand that children produced by rape, and learn that they are the product of rape end up with psycological issues (usually guilt, and self loathing). Sorry but not all life is sacred; I am not pro choice, I am pro-abortion, because too many of you ignorant women hating people should have been aborted.

@B'Chaz there is nothing Noble about being asked to mentally torture yourself, and live with crime that somebody commited against you.

I love how it's all the men that seem to be telling the women "Suck it up; so what you got raped, big deal, that baby is magical and special". I stand by my orginal statement; you want to defend rape babies maybe we need to have somebody come by and rape you everyday for 9 months.

@ darlinho yeah, we don't want to be a country that asks our women to be noble in spite of adversity. As a matter of fact we don't want to ask anything of our women, because that would be oppressive I guess.

I've heard that abortion itself is harmful to a woman. Which makes sense, because the body is expecting a baby, or else it would abort it itself.

So combine that with not wanting to pay for all the foster kids. Why don't we just make this compromise. No killing foster kids. We take care of the mother during pregnancy, and then we kill the new born. Mom's healthy, economy is healthy, conscience is clear, everybody wins.
