So is the crazy woman keeping this kid or giving it up for adoption? You know that craziness can be passed on, right?

I support that, I can think of plenty of men in here who should be sterilized if they were actually getting anything.

I would support that as there are just as many men who have no business having a child as women

People fix their dogs and cats and I think many people are more irresponsible than pets are in this regard so why not

So, what you're arguing is that background checks for gun owners is a bad idea?

We should just let any mentally ill violent felon purchase a gun?

No.

I firmly believe in background checks.

Just not registration or unconstitutional laws which infringe on law abiding, mentally healthy citizens.

Kind of weird how some people look for anything they can use to even up whatever arguement is going on that they don't like. Gun control, for example, and nothing to do with abortion but I guess it's the only thing certain folks can think of that "the other side" supports so we end up with stupid threads like this.

Ban pregnancy.

[and sex, too - it's dangerous]

Didn't OP claim to be celibate? At least he's playing it safe. I wonder how he would fare if we did test people for mental health to give them a pass or fail on whether they are fit for sex. I think there should be a means test as well - stop broke ass baby daddies in their tracks. We could force forehead tattoos on those who don't earn enough money to independently raise a child and shoot them full of depo-provera to kill their urges.

I think the OP missed his true calling and should look into science fiction writing.

Might be a workable idea. If found lacking they could include hysterectomy with the abortion. There's the side benefit of avoiding menopause.

Sandra Fluke should like that... then she wouldn't need those BC pill benefits for her and her partner.

And throw in appendix removal as well.
