Oh Good Lord... I seriously doubt I...cast back 200 years or so...would have been "OK" with enslaving humans of any creed, for any reason. But this is all BS because not even YOU could say what YOU would have done under those circumstances AT THAT PERIOD IN HISTORY. THUS...its completely irrelevant. Nonsense. Silly shit. Now...if you wanna debate whether or not the US Constitution should be re-written or amended...we can debate that. But please...enough of the silly shit...ok?

Iteration Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Posted October 26, 2022 @Nationalist Okay, so we seem to actually agree. Just as you have stated, if slavery was legal, lets say slavery became legal tomorrow, you would not support it: you would not believe it should be legal. So you actually don't think that something being currently legal means it should be legal. Going back, you previously stated that abortion should be allowed because it is allowed by the constitution. Now you can't use that argument anymore because if the constitution allowed slavery, you would not believe it should be legal. Quote

OK so...you either have very poor reading comprehension skills, or you just read what you want. I never said "abortion should be allowed because it is allowed by the constitution". I said IT IS allowed in many states because those states CHOSE to allow it. The current FEDERAL laws DO NOT make abortion legal or illegal. The FEDERAL laws only state that the states must rule on this ON THEIR OWN. I also said that in some circumstances, I can see it being allowed. This is pretty simple stuff. Please do try real hard to understand what I've said. Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.
Iteration Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) @Nationalist Okay, so lets go ahead and grant what you are saying about federal and state laws. That is irrelevant to what I am asking you. I am asking you whether or not you believe abortion should be legal illegal in most cases. So is that a yes or no? Do you favor abortion bans?

OK...IMO...I cannot, in clean conscience, favor complete abortion bans. This if I lived in a state that has chosen that path, I'd be inclined to not vote for the state government. However...it's important...I believe...to acknowledge that abortion is only one of a myriad of issues people vote on. In other words...it's not a simple matter for most people.

Nationalist Posted October 26, 2022 Report Posted October 26, 2022 Just now, Iteration said: @Nationalist Okay, so up to when do you believe abortion should be legal? I already said...in extreme cases. In other words...abortion IS NOT a substitute for a condom. I also really find abortion after 15 weeks...abhorrent and should only be allowed in VERY EXTREME cases.

If dumbing it down to this helps you understand...fine. Abortion should be rare...not a conveyor belt process done by eugenics freaks at Planned Parenthood.

Iteration Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) @Nationalist Okay, now it is starting to seem like we agree more than we may disagree.

Iteration Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Posted October 26, 2022 @Nationalist Wait...there may be a contradiction here, or something that seems suspect at least. You stated that you believe that abortion should be illegal in all cases except for rape and the life of the mother (which are under 1% of cases). If that is a belief you hold, you would support an abortion ban nationwide with these exceptions, regardless of whether or not it is politically possible, you would in principle support this policy.

No I wouldn't. I know why Roe was struck down and I agree with the decision and the reasons for it. I do not think the federal government has the power to rule on this. And apparently the SCOTUS feels the same way. Like I said...if your state has abortion laws you don't like...use your vote to change that...or move.

Iteration Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) @Nationalist No - now you are trying to move the conversation to dodge the critique. Suppose, hypothetically, the constitution said that the legality of slavery or the legality of rape was a state by state power - would you believe that rape and slavery should be banned nationwide, yes or no? Or would you say "if your state has abortion laws you don't like, move on." Edited October 26, 2022 by Iteration Quote

Iteration Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Posted October 26, 2022 @Nationalist No, stop. I have been very patient with you thus far, now you are trying to dodge my question because I have you in a corner.
