My thoughts exactly

[Teatime]

A lot of typing to say you made it up.

I didn't make the claim in the first place. I jumped into your conversation with someone else to offer a Google search.

 

[Teatime]

No, quoting a portion provides the actual information in context that someone can then find and read more about, if needed.

Have you done this before? Is this new for you?

Then make that demand of the person you're actually debating with

 

[Lursa]

I don't know why, only that it is

So, you have no argument and just felt like typing? Noted.

? I quoted you and you keep responding. Not sure you are comprehending the workings of the forum software and the fact that you are typing responses to me.

Do you need a minute?

 

[Lursa]

I didn't make the claim in the first place. I jumped into your conversation with someone else to offer a Google search.

You posted this statement at least twice:

Google Search

Poor decision then, eh?

 

[Teatime]

So, you have no argument and just felt like typing? Noted.

I already stated my argument: public policy is everyone's business.

That's not a statement, that's a link. The words are the exact phrase searched.

I asked you why it's public policy and you did not answer that. What other safer medical procedures are denied to people based on "public policy"?

Why is anything public policy? Because some people think there should be rules about it. Seems obvious.

 

[Lursa]

That's not a statement, that's a link. The words are the exact phrase searched.

And you are going in circles. Or...do you not support the statement in the link? If you still do, please produce the quotes from the sources that demonstrate the claim.

Why should there be rules about it? It's not obvious, that's why I'm asking. Why would their be public policy denying women a safer medical procedure? Any other examples of "public policy" doing that? If you want to fall back on a facile cop out, just say so.

It's a discussion forum...do you have nothing but "because they said so!"?

 

[Teatime]

And you are going in circles. Or...do you not support the statement in the link?

You asked someone for a link about a claim so I copied their exact claim into Google and gave you the link to the Google search.

You're supposed to be fact-checking as you go and it didn't seem as though you knew that you could look things up for yourself, so I'm happy to help

 

[Teatime]

Why should there be rules about it?

It's a medical procedure, and all medical procedures, every last one, have rules to safeguard safety and ethics.

Pro-Life argue that this procedure violates the hypocritic oath, Pro-Choice say it doesn't, thus the debate.

More excuses. I've done plenty of fact-checking...you havent presented anything to check...I'm not fishing in those links for info that may not even exist.

Are you using the statement in the link in your debate or not? Yes or no? If yes, let's see the quote. If not...why did you post it?

 

[Lursa]

It's a medical procedure, and all medical producers, every last one, have rules to safeguard safety and ethics.

I asked you why a safer medical procedure is denied to women. What is the legal or medical basis for that? What are the "safeguards and ethics" imposed on "the safer procedure" and why?

Pro-Life argue that this procedure violates the hypocritic oath, Pro-Choice say it doesn't, thus the debate.

And you hide from committing to a position on the issue. You are on a debate forum on abortion and refuse to debate it. Odd.

So much for your credibility...thanks for playing.

Your conversation is not what the OP is about. OP argues that the reason why a demographic gets a medical procedure is none of the public's business. My argument is that since medical procedures are governed by public policy, it IS the publics business.

 

[Teatime]

you hide from committing to a position on the issue.

I made my position known on post 15 of this thread:

I'm pro-choice and public policy is everyone's business.

The statistics on medical procedures are public domain, however individual identification is protected federally by HIPAA. That poster has some issues with "facts and reality" that he intentionally often blurs...into "not honest."

 

[Lursa]

I made my position known on post 15 of this thread:

uh huh. Ok

 

[Teatime]

I agree.

 

[Teatime]

uh huh. Ok

It means I'm not hiding. Not only are you not fact checking for yourself, but you're using emotive language.

I'm pro-choice and public policy is everyone's business.

Public policy is everyone's business. Abortion should be treated like a tonsillectomy and it stays between a doctor, a patient and the billing department.

To what degree do you believe abortion is/should be in the public interest? Do you believe anyone who gets an abortion should be placed on a publicly accessible list, a virtual 'A' branded upon her cheek, for purposes of allowing the public to know who's committed acts of abortions against those who haven't?

 

[Teatime]

To what degree do you believe abortion is/should be in the public interest?

I don't believe I said anything about the public interest.

I said it, like all medical procedures, is the public's business.

 

[BabaVoss]

You're welcome to that opinion but as a medical procedure subject to regulation, abortion will always be governed by public policy.

You know what I mean. Abortion should be “governed by public policy” in exactly the same way that a vasectomy is.
