What I am saying is thus. They will still do it, and they should be able to do it in the safest way possible.
Wouldn't even respond back to me, I've already spent far too much time on this thread and shouldn't drag it farther off topic.

This thread is for politics so almost anything on this thread is on-topic, haha.
There's no argument with "they will still do it." When it affects others, that's not a valid reason to keep something legal. Take for instance, prohibition. Drinking was made illegal, but everyone still did it, so they make it legal again. However, drinking while driving is still illegal,
even though people do it all the time. The reasoning: drinking doesn't affect others, but drinking while driving does. Abortion falls under the 'affects others' category.

I only just saw this statement when Crono quoted it and now I can see that you're beliefs about abortion probably depend on your religious beliefs, which I suspected...so that explains a lot. Now I have a follow-up: Have you ever heard of separation of church and state? That seems to be a thing the entire country forgets on a regular basis and it's annoying as hell. Not all of us are religious so why should some people have to suffer just because some other people believe "it's wrong in the eyes of god" or whatever. Science has brought us a long way and to say they don't understand what they're talking about is idiotic.

No actually, I try to emphasize that I leave religion out of it. My statement on science applied to the creation of the world too, which one would argue is about religion, but it also applies to the dinosaurs, and many other things. I genuinely don't think they should make up theories, when in fact science is supposed to be based on fact. If you read one of my earlier posts (actually sent it today I believe...) I specifically said "I highly believe in the separation of church and state." I believe that's an exact quote. My religion has nothing to do with my political beliefs. I love the death penalty and want it more. I believe gay and lesbian couples should be able to get married. I'm for transgender people using facilities with the gender they identify as. Many of my beliefs actually contradict religious beliefs. I never once mentioned God or my religion when it pertains to my beliefs because it doesn't actually pertain to my beliefs. Yes, science doesn't understand what they're talking about sometimes. I never said they don't understand what they're talking about all the time. I said they shouldn't make things up for the things they don't understand. My religion has nothing to do with my beliefs and I actually dislike when many people I know involve their religion with their political believes because there is supposed to be a separation of church and state.
