Love is the answer
Who changes their mind on whether or not to get an abortion from a tv advert?
i did buy an ipod after one super bowl, so i guess i'm gullible like that.

Let em run the advertisment. It could save a life. I was a 'teebow' baby long before he was a sparkle in daddy's eye. That's right the doctors gave mumsie a bad diagnostic and reccomendation. If she followed their advice -no me. Can't understand why I dissaprove of abortion....

And you disapprove of abortion...why? Because you can't think outside your own life experience to understand other people might not want or be able to look after their children? Or are your arguments based on anything more than totallt subjective points of opinion?
Hmmmm.
On topic of course you're all basiclally right, that if they can afford it, they can show their ad.

Why is someone a bigot here Dilbert?
"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation" - Barack Obama (a freshman senator from Illinios)
I'm pro-life, but I got to be honest, I don't watch the game to see anything about politics. You're supposed to kick back with friends and family, enjoy the game, and just forget about serious stuff for a sec.
And yea Dilbert, how do you get bigots?

It's on the BBC over here, which means good old socialist state sponsored programming with no commercial adverts slash political dogma.
also if the Jets are gonna somehow be in it I'll refuse to watch the game entirely, but that's another thread
fucking new york...

If you guys are gonna regurgitate my opinion at least have the good grace to quote me and pay me royalties of £5 per quoted sentence.
Bigotry in favor of protecting the life of another seems to be the only justifiable form of that attitude ...
Their slogan should be "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life, Celebrate Rape, Celebrate Births That Could Endanger The Mother, The Baby, Or Both"!
...But seriously, I am pro-choice, not because I have some pathological desire to kill unborn babies but because nothing is ever black and white. I don't agree with well-to-do adults using abortion as a form of retroactive contraception (that's morally reprehensible in my book), but if a woman has been raped or is in danger of dying herself during the birth then the option of abortion should be there for them. If this crowd want to pay the cash to air the ad then let them, I know it wouldn't change my opinions anyway and I'm guessing most intelligent pro-choice Americans would be the same in this regard.

The problem is, Braddock, that the vast majority of abortions are retroactive contraception. And Planned Parenthood and similar organizations are making bank on that. If that's not reprehensible, I'm not sure what is.
agree. but i agree with the rape thing also. they need to set limits.Stingray24 wrote:

That doesn't mean you should just outright ban abortion and use religion to back yourself up. It just means that there are flaws in the system, and in society, that needs to be fixed. Blanket bans are never a solution to anything. That's my take on abortion.Stingray24 wrote:

Since we're moving on to the broader abortion debate (surprise) rather than this ad I guess I'll throw in my opinion. I'm pro choice, it's a deeply personal decision for the parent(s) to make and nothing to do with a Government whatsoever. This is a debate that nobody ever shifts on though, despite science and logic so we may as well stick to the topic of the ad.
The only debate here in this topic besides the Abortion one is the fact that the Jets suck, New York sucks, and they're gonna get their asses kicked tonight and SCUNTHORPE SCORED yay
That may be so (though I've never seen any facts or figures to agree or disagree with your claim) but my opinion is unchanged as the option simply has to be there for women who are the victim of rape or might be at risk of death through childbirth themselves. If a woman has been violated in the most violent and horrific way possible who is anyone to tell her what she can or cannot do with the bundle of cells that have been placed inside her womb without her consent? And if a woman stands the very real risk of dying through childbirth who is the State to decide whether she lives of dies? What if she has 7 other children who will have to live without a mother if she dies... nothing is ever black and white, life is complicated.Stingray24 wrote:

Agreed, Mek. However, elective abortion that has nothing to do with the health of the mother should be banned. Demanding responsibility of adults regarding their sexuality seems appropriate given the consequences.
