Trump Introduces Anti-Abortion Policy

Jonathan Ainsley Bain

And why do the people who feel it cheapens life not seem to show the same amount of care when the the black man gets shot and killed by police, in his car?

Why do people care more about a few black men being shot be police
whilst caring nothing about over a million people dying in motor car accidents each year?

Why is it international news when one black person gets shot
but zero news about the million that die each year from drunk drivers, and motor cars that are built
to be as fast and dangerous as possible?

You contradict yourself:
You claim that abortions dropped when contraceptives were available, but you also say that contraceptives have always been available.
Are you serious or being disingenous here?


To some degree or other, there was a big gap between the human caused extinction of herbal contraceptives in Rome and hormonal contraceptives where women often took a variety of often dangerous herbal concoctions that had varying levels of success.

Men have had access to prophylactics since the first use of a sheep's intestine as a condom. But that required the guy to use them, and if he didn't care or wanted to make sure his wife got pregnant, it wasn't her choice.

But when hormonal contraceptives became widely available and paid for by insurance or at least affordable if not free, abortions dropped. Look up the statistics of abortion rates in the US if you doubt me.

Because those aren't the numbers at all?
And because there are absolutely organizations that address these issues?
Because when a drunk or recklass driver kills someone we blame the drunk driver not the victim? Pick your answer?

I mean if we're just going to make numbers up, I can do that too. But I'll give you stats instead. Now injuries are much higher, but you said "Million that die from drunk drivers and cars."

IN THE UNITED STATES, THE NUMBER OF DRUNK DRIVING DEATHS HAS BEEN CUT IN HALF SINCE MADD WAS FOUNDED IN 1980.

IN 2015, 10,265 PEOPLE DIED IN DRUNK DRIVING CRASHES - ONE EVERY 51 MINUTES - AND 290,000 WERE INJURED IN DRUNK DRIVING CRASHES.


"38,300 people were killed on U.S. roads, and 4.4 million were seriously injured, meaning 2015 likely was the deadliest driving year since 2008."

No, you've decided that they don't know anything, against despite the fact that they've had one or more children before. It seems ridiculous that you're telling me that I'm the one making assumptions about the intelligence of women.
I am talking about unprotected sex, I have no idea what you are going on about.

Uh, nope. You're the one stating women don't understand reproduction, are irresponsible and who thinks that a woman knows she's pregnant at five weeks as a matter of course.
yes there are many women who are irresponsible, there certainly is no argument in that.

As getting an abortion is highly responsible, there is great argument there. Clearly you have no interest in a good faith argument. And you are enjoying making misogynistic comments. Why precisely be here?

If you don't like what I say, then ignore me, if you keep on replying I will also reply.
