When you know someone who has been assaulted and does not want to carry that baby to term come back and spout that inhumane poison. What inhumane poison? You stated that: ”A womans body is her own and I could not give a rats carcass about pro life arguments. End of argument.” I responded by saying that this was a simplistic non-argument. Despite your assumption, I didn’t give my opinion or position regarding abortion. So I ask again, what inhumane poison?

I think there is far too much fanfare around coming out these days, people celebrated in the media as if it is heroic and virtuous and they have done something just amazing…. when, in truth, the battle was won years ago and that lifestyle is positively trendy these days. Schools have gay month AND gay history month. To claim it’s edgy is odd- pushing against an open door more like. Society currently adores lgbt- every institution promotes and celebrates it, every school endorses it…so how was it brave? 17 year old lad coming out and IS THE ONLY CURRENT PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLER IN THE UK THAT HAS. It’s incredibly brave and the fact that schools have been ‘endorsing’ lgbtq+ issues (weird choice of word) is hopefully something which made him feel more able to come out in an incredibly judgemental section of society. It’s not his own supporters that’ll be the issue, it’s every other set of supporters looking for an easy target. Putting yourself knowingly up for this abuse is beyond brave. Try having a conversation with most lgbtq+ community and compare their life experiences with yours in terms of their targeted discrimination. Just because a few articles say that ‘we’ve come a long way’ it doesn’t mean we’ve come all the way, we are just better off than when being gay was illegal and people like Alan Turing were chemically castrated to the point of suicide. Yes, compared to then we have. But the ratio of knuckle draggers in football crowds is disproportionately high and the dismissive nature of your post not only fuels their ‘it’s just PC correctness gone mad’ or ‘it’s a choice’ or ‘he’s only doing it for the media profile’, but it tends to suggest you have some animosity held towards gay people. Maybe not but you clearly don’t understand the circumstances fully and are ill informed, so, with respect, wind your neck in a bit Edited May 17, 2022 by SwearyCanary 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To reduce the abortion argument to the statement that “A woman’s body is her own and I could not give a rats carcass about pro life arguments. End of argument” is indeed simplistic. The arguments around abortion are complex and nuanced, having to take into account not only the the rights of the woman but also of the foetus, and clearly there may be many other factors that might also come into play. At no stage have I stated my position on the subject. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stop trying to twist the argument. It depends on the law of the country that she is in. I am not saying someone can have an abortion past the legal limit. I am saying that abortion should be an option for all women. You would assume that outside of odd situations like the woman going into a coma and coming out at 30 weeks to find shes pregnant most people would realise they were pregnant and make a decision on what to do rather than decide that at 24 weeks + what seemed like a good idea 2 weeks ago is now a bad one.

Someone is assaulted they have a right to abort rather than carry that child to full term. A woman's body is their own.

In the UK, after 24 weeks the law says a woman, even the one to which you refer, is unable to have an abortion. Maybe you need to get on the whisky?

TheGunnShow 5,937 Posted May 17, 2022 1 hour ago, canarydan23 said: I've not heard of that, unless it's that study that pretty much proved a link between a massive and sudden reduction in crime figures in the US 16-21 years after Roe v Wade. Essentially, the criminals were no longer being born! Nope, totally different. Guttmacher Institute research in question simply focuses on the proportion of kids that aren't planned. As for condom use, that is covered by separate research, but the proportion of men who don't use condoms at all, especially in the USA, is bewildering. Even in the UK and Western Europe, men are still pretty damn gauche. Worse still, the proportion of men using them every time seems to be falling. That's the elephant in the room when it comes to abortion-related matters. All the abortion restrictions end up borne by women - but much of it is simply caused by men who just won't wrap it up.

dylanisabaddog 4,909 Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) About 5 years ago a Rugby League player announced he was gay. The BBC suddenly became very interested in Rugby League and despatched a team up north for the game he was playing in that night. They stopped a likely looking character outside the ground and asked him if he'd heard the news. The fan hadn't so they told him the news that one of his team was gay. "Thank God for that, I thought you were going to say he was injured". That sums up the general degree of interest in other people's sexuality. The BBC in particular can't seem to grasp that hardly anyone is bothered. It's only news because the media seems to be desperate to make it so.
