Sharia law is practiced throughout most Middle Eastern Islamic states, so it is not silly to suggest that it does. I didn't mention Sharia Law since its covers a broad spectrum of issues, most of which aren't controversial. If you want to just equate it with stoning gay people then go ahead. I'd say that's more ignorance than racism as you're making a broad generalization based on a lack of understanding (not to mention you're criticizing a religion). As for your conclusion on Africa, there are certainly places that are not developed. There are many places with backwards beliefs. However, a quick look at the data shows us only 14 of Africa's 54 nations have rated of 50% or higher. A third of those on your map have rates ranging from 1-15%. 28 of Africa's nations have laws against it. Egypt, one of the nations with the highest rates banned it 8 years ago and jailed the first doctor prosecuted If this is marker, is have to reject the claim that all of Africa or even most, is "savage". Edit: if you're curious, Lucie's reasoning was that they keep killing eachother. He wasn't able to show that they're doing it in significant numbers compared to other regions and refused to answer if Europe was savage based on the casualties of WWI and WWII. You at least thought you had data to support your claim, so we can make the assumption it wasn't based on a general dislike of the people from those regions like Lucie's was.

And when I also support helping poor minorities get reproductive health assistance to help them procreate. Did the German people agree to slaughter the Jews ..... Or did they accept it under the belief it was something else? Like in their best interests. And all I have said is that your reasons for supporting PP just happen to mirror the exact reasons used to promote why we needed the negro project. i just compared history to today. Not my fault you happen to agree with the same group you are trying to distance yourself from now. There is a reason they changed the language the past 100 years ..... It's awful.

I don not support Planned Parenthood because I feel that minorities and poor people should not reproduce because they are genetically inferior. In fact one reason I support PP is because they provide reproductive health care to help the disadvantaged have children. Can you not read? And what about the fact that you agree with the KKK that affirmative action for minorities is a bad thing? Does that mean that you believe exactly what the KKK believes? Have they brainwashed you?

So they are helping them have children by aborting 47% of their children in New York City alone? Explain how that math works out....

I highly doubt that 47% of minorities that are pregnant have abortions. I would love to see some real data on that. Found some data. It appears that they are very close to those numbers.

Quote:The Abortion Surveillance report published by the CDC, for which the latest abortion numbers are for 2011, show there were 76,251 abortions in New York City that year.

If your main concern is with the act of abortion itself, then why not start with giving more universal access to birth control rather than stigmatizing a practice others believe is their right?

Maybe stop putting PP in poor/minority communities. That would be a start to ensuring more of them live.

I think he just wants more births in general, whether by stopping abortion or stopping contraceptive use. Then he can complain about government spending to help the single mothers who can't afford their kids.

This is exactly where this conversation always ends up, but we never get any clarity around that piece. Everytime we try to advance past this point, we're unable to have additional discussions about population control or income disparity. We just get another thread, rehash and end up here once again.

So why don't we just offer the poor birth control and health services without offering abortions.... Why do we need PP for that.... Health clinics can do the same thing without offering abortions on demand. As far as population control .... Why do you think we need it? Maybe the problem isn't new births .... It's length of life. Maybe you would be more comfortable with a Logan's Run scenario? You guys want to bring up gov money for single mothers..... Maybe we should start promoting families again .... 2 parent homes. No one ever said stop birth control before pregnancy. Take all the pills you want.... use condoms. But hey tell me all about your population control concerns? I don't mind discussing this at all.

Health clinics can do the same thing without offering abortions on demand. First. Lets stop ostracizing PP, when the real problem in your mind is abortions themselves. Your problem is not with PP as a whole, its their fulfilling a specific service you staunchly oppose. I'm sure you would agree that if targeted and concerted efforts were made to give unequivocal, universally free access to birth control (all forms); the number of abortions would decrease inversely. In that scenario, the market wouldn't require PP to the extent it does today. Like it or not, some women would prefer not to have a child at certain times of their lives. If a greater % were on the pill or IUD, the numbers of possible abortions go down. As stated, PP is merely filing a gap created by the current state of health care inequality, specifically access to womens reproductive health care. Poor people don't have the same access as higher socioeconomic classes. Any conversation about abortion and reproductive rights is inextricably linked to health care inequality. Obviously there is no way to completely end abortions. There will always be some scenarios we all agree where it is a needed and available procedure. We may disagree on what those are, but I guarantee you that EVERYONE's goal would be to decrease the overall market demand for abortions as much as possible. First step though, universal free access to all forms of birth control. Quote:As far as population control .... Why do you think we need it? Maybe the problem isn't new births .... It's length of life. Maybe you would be more comfortable with a Logan's Run scenario? Problem is both new births and length of life, its both a economic and resource issue. Many of the problems we have domestically stem from economic inequality, internationally many are resource driven (Syria). The only one we can control currently is the new births piece. I'm not familiar with the Logan's Run model, but if you're saying we should pull the plug earlier on elderly people with a low quality of life, that seems like a real tough sell. Quote:You guys want to bring up gov money for single mothers..... Maybe we should start promoting families again .... 2 parent homes. Families would be great. But many families still live below the poverty line, with only 2 or 3 children. 2 parent homes are obviously ideal. Family planning in conjunction with that is even better. Quote:No one ever said stop birth control before pregnancy. Take all the pills you want.... use condoms. Good to hear. Keep in mind its the pills / IUD's that need to be accessible as they have been proven to be the most effective. I would also suggest more federal research on the topic so pills / IUD's can become more effective for a larger % of the population. There will always be a subset of women who cannot use these form because of forces beyond their control. Instead of stigmatizing them for needing access to abortions, why not help advance the science in this issue. Quote:But hey tell me all about your population control concerns? I don't mind discussing this at all. See above. Too many people as it is. |
