"Our local school district rents out school buses to groups and rents building facilities out for events all the time . It is smart .... they have the resources on hand and it provides a little extra money for the district . Granted that explanation does not fit your agenda , and it would be much easier for you to make your point if we all ignored the most LIKELY solution and instead accepted your EXTREMELY UNLIKELY solution at face value , but you cant actually expect people with any intelligence at all to do that ."

"What 's that ? Campaigning and use of taxpayer funded facilities like transportation for political purposes ? I suppose they paid the cops for going out of their jurisdiction too ?"

"If the primary source of evolutionary innovation must be sought in the occasional luck of fortuitous saltations , then internal forces of variation become the creative agents of change , and natural selection can only help to eliminate the unfit after the fit arise by some other process .

"Any two adults can run the household , one can make the decision if the other is incapacitated , one inherits when the other dies , etc etc . That parallel does not carry over to group marriages . When one dies , who inherits ? If one is incapacitied , who decides what the treatment should be ? Basically , pretty much none of the marriage benefit laws that are on the book make any sense for groups of more than two , so recongnising group marriages is a huge legal task , and one for which the outcomes are far from obvious . If we 're talking about legal recognition , and we are ( right ? ) , then the cases are wildly different . Our marriage laws , for better or worse , are set up on the assumption of two adults running a household . They also assume man and wife , true , but do n't actually depend on that .

It seems to me your argument boils down to `` polygamy requires more work to make the laws accomodate it. `` Yeah -- such is the price for marriage equality . Let 's face it -- if society really wanted to make marriage an open-ended institution of equality rather than for opposite-sex couples which comprise most relationships , they could pull it off -- polygamy , gays , letting 17 year olds marry , etc .

"Perhaps so . But you realize that the reason it gets used in medicine is because it works .

Check out Carl Zimmer 's excellent Parasite Rex for the answer ."

"Society 's willingness to impose on women alone the sacrifice required by laws restricting abortion , unique within the landscape of Anglo-American law , may well reflect a deeply held traditional view of the differences in character of the sexes . While we might not impose selflessness and virtuous behavior on a man .... some may find it less of a contradiction to impose such virtue on a woman because of the traditional view of her nature . But to impose virtue on ANY person demeans that person 's individual worth . It is no more acceptable when the person is a woman than a man . There should be no 'woman 's exception ' to our traditional regard for individualism and autonomy . As long as these values remain at the core of our legal system , there is thus a powerful case for the conclusion that laws prohibiting abortion -- even IF the fetus is regarded as a person -- deny women the equal protection of the laws guaranteed to all by the 14th amendment . And if this is so , then perhaps the Roe decision , by gratuitously insisting that the fetus can not be deemed a person , needlessly insulted and alienated those for whom the view that the fetus is a person represents a fundamental article of faith or a bedrock personal committment . Perhaps as Yale Law School Dean Guido Calabresi has suggested , the Roe opinion for no good reason said to a large and politically active group `` [ y ] our metaphysics are not part of our Constitution. `` The Court could have indeed have said : Even if the fetus is a person , our Constitution forbids compelling a woman to carry it for nine months and become a mother"

If we put aside the bible , the commandments , and the intentionally biased commentaries of christian leaders , what argument is left ? The Christian right will say that all life is precious , but obviously there are tiers . An unborn , unwanted , and even sometimes malformed child is more precious than that of the mother . Who cares if she was raped ? Who cares if she was the victim of incest ? Who cares if the child she carries has tested positive for all sorts of defects- `` My preacher says it 's wrong ! `` Another disturbing all too common event is that of the woman who has taken her prescribed birth control , but it failed , so she finds herself carrying a child she never wanted , and even worse , as a result of the augmented hormone levels as a result of birth control , her child has little chance of being born normal and healthy . But if these `` pro-lifers `` have their way , she will be forced to have the child , and raise it . Another argument I often hear is the option of adoption . One must wonder , though , if adoptive families were so abundant , why so many group homes for unwanted children who are doomed to live out their childhoods at the knees of the state ? The gross majority of open-adoption agencies out there are christian-founded , which means of course , that unless you adhere to their strict guidelines , you will not recieve a child . Single parents ( no matter the income ) homosexuals , any person who does not subscribe to christianity is immediately disqualified ! What I really want to say is , If you have some moral objection to abortion , that 's just fine~ then never have one yourself . But please do not expect another person to conform to your ideas . Why should they ?"

"But did n't you know ? The USA is a CHRISTIAN NATION and all other beliefs are subservient to that . They do n't get it , they actally believe that they 're doing good and are also doing it for our own good as well . It is n't terrorists , or any other outside force which are a threat to American rights and freedoms , it is those like the Christian right who you truly have to fear . Those like Pat Robertson , or Jerry Falwel who have influence and many others as well like your President . How many other Judges feel and believe the same as Judge Moore in Alabama did ?"

"It sure is funny how many times the `` pro-lifers `` claim a victory- and yet that victory is quickly overturned by the supreme authority in this country- which is not the senate , not the president , it is the COURT . I find it truly insulting that this great nation , which was founded upon the idea of religious freedom has allowed so many of its laws to be affected by the over-dominant christian right .

"So will you be comparing gays to child molesters and priests in your same examples ? Or blacks with slinging drugs and hoochie mammas ? Or will you note the eerie similarities betweenn the wording of some of our gun laws to the Nazi gun laws ?"

"Let me try explaining this another way . According to the logic presented in the original article : Gun Owners : discrimination by gun control laws : : Serial Rapists : discrimination by anti-rape laws You see , it 's the RELATIONSHIP that I 'm comparing .

"Maybe they did it on purpose ? They push through the amendment to quiet the RR while the issue is a hot botton topic , but make sure it 's unconstitutional so that it 'll get shot down . Just a thought ."

Here we are , debating philosophy , which is a celebration of life and the blessings of existence , and all the while these  “ would-be beings ” are getting blotted out of existence by the very dance that is our celebration . We rejoice in our lives in these debates , and flaunt that merriment by using it as a means to keep others out of life .
