[quote]Are you serious?!? If a woman chooses to terminate her pregnancy, yes there is a medical need for it and certainly within a reasonable time frame. Abortion is LEGAL! It's not a freaking manicure. So I will assume that your stance is that every pregnant prisoner MUST carry their pregnancy to ter

[quote]If I might chime in here: When people reply, "Its against my religion" I think that are saying that they want to abide by their faith's precepts. Most religions have precept ceremonies in one form or another. When we take these precepts, it means we are making them our own and promising not to violate them. So, in effect, its a shorthand answer. Be well.[/quote] Yes, it is well to obey your religion's laws, but you should have a hatred of sin, not just a good excuse

Joe Arpaio's latest ACLU violation in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Joe Arpaio is not the kind of man who shirks controversy. He's "America's Toughest Sheriff", in his own words. Now, I don't have the exact place where they attack Joe Arpaio, but I find that denying abortions to prisoners should be common practice, not a rights violation. Here's the thing: You forfeit your rights when you commit a crime. You don't deserve to keep all of them, you gave them up. Not only is abortion amoral, but it is also an expense to the government. If you can pay for

Attention GHWiki Spammers in Misc JoeUser Forums

On the GHWiki, we've been getting a lot of spam recently. So, here's a little note to spammers: We don't care about Guild War Gold's meaningful nature. Quite frankly, a wiki is not a blogging site. If you wanna talk about the Olympiad Panda Bears, do it on a blog site, not on a sci-fi wiki. While the articles you write may not be too terrible, and may be worthy of being published in some very extreme cases, it's a site with a goal of detailing a video game, not your personal poetry or

Belief in a "God" is what makes one be a theist/atheist, and if you believe in a god, you are not an atheist.

I've heard the "It's against my religion" excuse so many times. It's not a good reason. I'm gonna put a Christian slant on it, but this is probably universally true. If the reason you don't like something is because "it's against my religion", you need to reevaluate your life. Sure there are things that your religion may prevent you from doing, but, to tell you the truth, you should find them objectionable, or wrong, rather than just "against my religion". You should follow the rules, but if
