Sorry, let me ask you a more pointed question. Are you ok with a legal abortion at 16 or 18 weeks? Is there a threshold at which you think it’s too late? If yes, what is the benchmark that makes it “not ok” to abort a child?

Are you saying you are ok with anything that is legal?

If a person is seen entering through a public building’s window, should the police be able to shoot them dead? How do they know she wasn’t trying to escape the “violence “?

Damn. I gotta start making better decisions... 😖

I agree that his name should be protected unless charged with a crime. It’s funny though. Many officers who are put on administrative leave after a shooting of a minority, but are not charged with a crime, have their names put out there. I see a double standard. I wonder if their use of force protocols were broken, which would then open up the officer to a criminal charge...which is why they refuse to release the guidelines in the first place.

Do you think slavery - men owning other humans - was ok when it was legal? What about witch burning...that ok too?

No, it’s not a crime. It should be.

That would beat killing a baby for sure.

Sir I’m afraid your arguments are not only paper thin, but don’t address the life being taken. It’s considered homicide or “feticide” if a fetus is killed while in the womb during the commission of more than 60 federal crimes (Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004). It just allows that crime to go unpunished if perpetrated by the host. I would say mother, but I’ll just refer to anyone willing to kill their baby as the host.

True. What do you think happens the majority of the time though?

Btw, I have 1 adopted brother and 2 adopted sisters (raised by a single mother - she adopted my brother when she was 50). My dad was adopted as well. None of them had issues finding loving homes. I think your stats are off. At least in the US anyway.

Where do you get your statistics of “all of these unwanted children...”? What about kids in orphanages or foster care? Should we terminate them as well?

Exactly. My grandmother was a counselor for Birthright for decades. She counseled young women and men on alternatives to abortion. She saved thousands of lives in doing so. Funny, she never considered throwing away not one of those “unwanted” souls.

I’m sorry. You’re right. Just kill them...

Too often abortion is used as retroactive birth control. If a young girl gets pregnant, she can always put the life she has given into the arms of others who aren’t as fortunate or give the father the opportunity to raise the child.

I’m glad you at least appreciate it. And it’s very necessary.

But history is past tense. What about now? Can we as a group of people move forward?

Why are blacks more impoverished? Is it culture? Racism? Complacency?

Careful, some may say the same of you or me. Judge not lest ye be judged.

I said a prayer for you. Literally.

I’m firmly pro-life regarding an unborn life who has committed no crime. That’s for damn sure.

I guess my real question is “when does the healing begin?” We are all being played against each other by racist organizations and politics.

So is it a racism issue or just a grudge?

Yes, but wasn’t that long ago?

Do you think that the same situations could be applied to Whites and Blacks. (See bolded words) If so, then is there a real racism issue at all? Or is it just a big misunderstanding?...
