• "Rape is Just Another 'Method of Conception'" - Paul Ryan
    51 replies, posted
As scary as I find conservatives in America (what with all parties in the UK pretty much central with the occasional blips to their respective wings), I didn't find what Paul Ryan said that insensitive. Clever wording on his part almost certainly, and I'm not agreeing with him, but he certainly didn't put it as bluntly as the headline. Main issue was the vagueness from 1:14 on. Not only 'future president Romney' being an arrogant statement (even if they do win *shudder*) but Romney's policy...and then nothing.
I should rape him. [sp]notrly[/sp]
Thanks for guaranteeing another 4 years of Obama.

[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;37448469]No it's what you get when you get dumb-as-shit fundamentalist religious nutcases running for office The constitution is fine when it's listened to.[/QUOTE] Not really, the forefathers knew that the constitution would probably be needed to be changed later in the future. thats why there is an amendment system to correct it and adjust it to fix today's problems. Just no one wants to change it as often because we consider it a like basic foundation of our government, something that shouldn't be changed because its such a relic (or the word for something so amazing to people that it shouldnt be changed).

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;37448182]I believe there would at the least be a reduced number of abortions in the event of outlaw.[/QUOTE] You underestimate how desperate women can be. And if it were outlawed, you would have unlicensed, unqualified people doing it, leading to a increased likelihood of death of the mother.
[QUOTE=jordguitar;37446553]i wonder if we can boot him out of his old job also so at the end of it he will hopefully not have anything[/QUOTE] i mean, thats kind of o.d
[QUOTE=Lambeth;37449211]You underestimate how desperate women can be. And if it were outlawed, you would have unlicensed, unqualified people doing it, leading to a increased likelihood of death of the mother.[/QUOTE] I am aware of the argument that there would be unlicensed, unqualified people doing it, and I am sure that is true. However, I'm pretty damn sure abortions would go down at least a small bit.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;37449251]I am aware of the argument that there would be unlicensed, unqualified people doing it, and I am sure that is true.

So, you get less deaths of bundles of cells the size of a fingernail that aren't in any recognizable way human, but you get more deaths of panicking, scared mothers who feel they have no other option. So really this whole "pro-life" thing actually ends up with the death of more people. Yaaaay!
Rape is just a way for somebody to get off, nothing wrong with that.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;37449251]I am aware of the argument that there would be unlicensed, unqualified people doing it, and I am sure that is true.

And poverty would skyrocket and before you know, America would look more like China, India or worse yet, Africa. Over-population means stretching supplies. Stretching supplies mean malnourisment or undernourishment which leads to tons of infant deaths which leads to more fucking, which leads to more children which leads directly to a western clone of India. With America at the brink of economical collapse, this becomes even more probable since medical supplies will become stretched as hell and medical expertise will become near impossible to afford. I'm not even joking. Them ignoring this is just insane. They're sooo busy playing all holy and mighty to a nonexistent drug-hallusination that they don't give a shit that it's at everyone else's expense. Pretentious fucks shouldn't even have votes if half the population could even think that far themselves. If it isn't the logical next step, then it's at least easy as hell to look back into the relevant countries histories and deduce the highly probable result. They're actively seeking out a dystopia, but they can't see it because they don't do logic. Too busy thinking that forbidding everything to everyone else = paradise. Fucking hippies.

Murder is just another way of getting you to heaven War is just another path to peace Corruption is just another way of making money Hows that logic [del]Paul[/del] Republicans? Oh, doesn't work when you put things that way? Don't use it for rape then! I have a new name for you. The Barbarian party.
Technically,it is. But he is saying it for a different purpose.

It is true in the sense that people would have children they could have no chance of supporting.

Humans aren't the only relevant species on this planet and we are ALREADY over-populated on a global level. What i said was very realistic. You've got to be a grade-A ignorant to not see where stupid religious shit can take us, beyond just harmless "loljesus" states. Actions have consequences, go fucking figure eh?
