Why is it that some websites make commenting on content harder than it should be?! Is it difficult to have clear comment dividers, or poster reply buttons? I mean, clear reply threads are old hat for most websites, why aren’t certain websites on board too?
Also, abortion is wrong.

Keep your views on abortion to your damn self.P.S. It was a huge bitch for me to log in and comment on your stupid post
Speaking of Websites. I have noticed a few tweaks on this site…Good good..
The new website is so close I can smell it. Actually, we’re fooling around with it now, making sure everything works. Won’t be long….
This comment box thing is no good, I’m logged in as a member and you’re still advertising to me!Also, thanks for the confirmation abortion is right
ABORTION IS A CHOICE, YOU FUCKING BONEHEAD.
I think abortion is sad, but the option has to be there. I’m pro-choice, but only to a certain extent- once is ok, and the earlier the better- as in I’d only allow my (hypothetical) daughter to have one if it’s within the first 4 to 6 weeks or so. I think the option needs to be available, but it shouldnt be so easy (I’m not saying it shouldnt be done as quickly as possible- just that the right questions need to be asked beforehand). I understand and respect people who need to do it a bit later- but feel that anything past the first trimester shouldn’t be allowed. I don’t understand the people who abort 5 month old fetuses- it’s selfish, wrong and heartbreaking when babies can survive after being born as early as 6 months along. And the old argument that a fetus isn’t a baby is bullshit. There are alot of arguments for abortion remaining legal that make sense, but that isnt one of them.
im pro-choice as well. ill temper that by saying it should not be used as a form of birth control. if a woman find herself having multiple abortions…maybe its time to invest in some condoms.and in situations where the womans health is in serious question…abortion needs to be considered. if i woman becomes pregnant from a rape should she be expected to deliver that baby? can you imagine the anguish and pain that would cause? so for all those that say abortion is never the answer….sometimes it is.
I would really like to know the statistics on how many women are getting “multiple abortions” as a means of birth control.. come the fuck on…. I doubt women undergoing abortion schedule it in during their lunch hour. Sorry, but abortion is the OBVIOUS answer for rape/insest… but if the condom slips off or I’m the 1% of women who’s birthcontrol fails… I want to know that I have the option to abort rather than suffer the mental, physical, emotional hardships (nevermind the social stigma) of carrying an *unwanted* pregnancy to term. Adoption you say? …. I DO NOT WANT TO BE PREGNANT. Accidents happen … until I’m ready to have a child (and I dont just mean raise one, I mean pushin’ one out too) I won’t…. Frankly, I’m starting to think pro-lifers are all virgins.
@sevendidnt say the numbers were huge, in fact i didnt mention numbers at all….but i know of women who have had multiple abortions. so im not totally off base in saying that in a small number of cases it is used as after the fact birth control. dont need statistics to tell me that.
How the fuck can people say they are pro-choice and then add conditions onto it? I mean, I’m pro-gay until they want to get married but other than that….
Of course people can say they are pro-choice and add conditions onto it. As in I like asparagus, but only if it’s done on the bbq. As in I might think abortion is ok during the first trimester of pregnancy, but think it should be illegal at, say, 5 months of pregnancy. Tell me Cranky, do you think getting an abortion when you’re 4 weeks pregnant is quite the same thing as when you’re 6 months pregnant? Because it does happen. Is there any moral difference to you? I’m sure most people would find there is. Your comparison of abortion to gay marriage, which I support 100% no conditions, isn’t very relevant, no offense.
Mostly, for this particular Website, I’m hoping that these little boxes will be around each comment individually; makes them easier to read, IMO.Oh, and it’s really better to be in the “minding-your-own-business” crowd on that whole abortion thing, OP. I stick with that, and life is much simpler.
Nobody is talking life and death when it comes to the issue of gay marriage- atleast not in the literal sense. So yeah, I’d say that there’s alot more grey area to the issue of abortion as opposed to gay marriage.
I loled.
Since we’re determining who’s eligible for elective surgery, I nominate the fathers of more than two children for mandatory vasectomy. Walking away from a pregnant woman isn’t a form of birth control.
