This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

The pro choice philosophy...
Well, when you consider that "blessings" is a religious conceptualization, and that there are millions around the world that are not religious, then it stands to reason that some people wouldn't look at their children as any sort of "blessing". -
The pro choice philosophy...
Get what? I have 3 kids don't agree with many of the positions taken on this forum, and certainly not "pro-life" under all circumstances. Some of the folks that I know became pro-choice AFTER they had kids - go figure. -
Why do Athiests and other non-god believing people have a problem with religion/god?
Re: Why do Athiests and other non-god believing people have a problem with religion/g Many Christians try to rationalize this but it is clear that a true follower of Jesus can neither divorce someone nor marry someone who is divorced. There is an exception to the rule, however. If spouse... -
Why do pro-life people call non-pro-lifers "pro-abortionists"?
There is certainly a distinction between pro-choice and pro-abortion (demaguoguery). In the first, a woman ultimately chooses the decision. She either gets an abortion or opts not to. However, it's not the first time I've heard the logic - "What choice?" It's a choice of abortion... -
The pro choice philosophy...
That last statement presupposes that God exists. A belief that doesn't hold water with many people ie. Atheists, Agnostics, other religions, non-religious people... To keep it simple, the philosophical moral debate exists as follows: 1. pro-choice philosophy & morality with belief in God 2... -

The pro choice philosophy...
This response will be short, not for a lack of interest in discussing moral philosophy... we've actually never gotten to Kant, etc. and I get the impression that we won't be heading in that direction as it seems that moral philosophy and religion and/or belief in God are one and the same for... -

Apologies for the delayed response, unavoidable due to business and personal commitments *deleted some material to keep the post from being 'too long' (too late) :smile: not as any intentional effort to omit material* Now, on to the fun! These last few paragraphs are a premise that I find... -
The pro choice philosophy...
I am pointing out what I and many others consider to be immoral acts in the Bible and contradictions that should not be if the Bible were the word of a flawless God. Like I said previously, if the basis of your 'moral core' does not rely on the moral code of a Judeo-Christian God, then it is... -
The pro choice philosophy...
Sorry to hear your baby didn't make it. Nature is 'cold' If you'd like to provide a persuasive, logical argument based on the facts, then please do so, but simply saying that 65% of Americans are 'cold' doesn't help much. (A July 2005 Pew Research Center poll asked Americans about Roe vs. Wade... -
Hello I am a Baby in my Mommy’s Womb
Hi Mommy, sorry to hear your baby didn't make it. As you may be aware, 1. 30-50% of all fertilized eggs don't make it past the 1st monthly period, of those that do... 2. 15% of known pregnancies end up as a miscarriage. Probably higher, but we only have medical data hence 'known'. 3... -
The pro choice philosophy...
While an interesting perspective, it's a non-starter. I doubt that anything will change anytime soon that would make this purely a women's issue, men's votes are tallied right along women's votes in every election. -
The pro choice philosophy...
Well, I guess Kant's categorical imperative will have to wait until we're through with the philosophical perspectives on faith/religion/God. Naturally, this all goes back to the "pro-choice philosophy" - in other words, we're exploring the basis for the philosophy. As an agnostic, I cannot... -
Why do Athiests and other non-god believing people have a problem with religion/god?
Re: Why do Athiests and other non-god believing people have a problem with religion/g The notion that something doesn't begin or end, is difficult to believe, not intellectually difficult to understand, just grasp. Specially for beings that begin and end. Everything else in the universe...
