“these laws imply…women are not capable of making their own decisions”

“The choice to have a baby is a life altering one, and one that women should be able to make for themselves.”

What’s the difference?

And Jesse, these are many reasons why reproductive rights are different than the issues you listed, not the least being that there are existing laws prohibiting those things.

Hahahaha, no. Not that I know of, anyway.

Although now that I think about it, that would make more sense to me. If a woman got sterilized because she needed the money at the time, but then later in life decided she wanted to have a baby, she’d be pretty much screwed. If a man did that and later on he and his wife decided they wanted to have a baby, she could always get artificially inseminated. It’s not the ideal situation, but it makes more sense to me.

hmm. well that’s odd. you don’t have individual rights in a lot of other issues. how do you expect to make much headway without applying the same logic to other issues like, taxes, drugs, running a business, building a home, educating your children, etc.

how can you claim the right to have an abortion if you can’t even keep the money you earn, or smoke a joint?

i don’t see the logic in that.

While we’re at it, let’s stop all the lefties from having kids too. I’m sick of seeing left-handed scissors clogging up our shelves.

(I’m actually left handed so this is an issues near and dear to my heart.)

Wow. Eugenics.
