Do you propose sterilization for the mentally ill and the mentally deficient, too?

How about people who disagree with your politics? Should they be sterilized as well?

What this poster has proposed is scary. We are a free country. That freedom includes the choice for some people to make bad choices.

What this poster has proposed is scary. We are a free country. The price we pay for that freedom of choice is some people are free to make bad choices.
Who are those some people?

Why is it okay for the government to control women's bodies but not males?

I was replying to what you originally said.
You can apologize, but you can never take it back.

She set you up and you fell for it.

Excellent social experiment. Not many surprises amongst the usual respondents.

Some, meaning an unspecified number, people.

I have nothing to apologize for. You may have replied to what I said, but it made zero sense.

I'm very pleased that you are one of the only people who realized what I was doing.

The ones that make bad choices.....


The government does not control your body and never should. They control the person that you ask to murder your kid, because you made a bad choice.

You are free to take it upon yourself. That would be your choice. You know, after all.... It's not illegal until you get caught.

It made perfect sense. You just didn't want to hear it.

No actually it didn't make any sense at all. There was no point to your post, as usual, and you say what you want without any care to what was said previously.
