| I don't particularly think it's ethical to deliberately bring children into the world whom you have no intent to care for in the first place, personally, and by "deliberately", I mean a scenario in which you have easy access to other options, IE, birth control and abortion. I guess, then, my answer ... |

| Adoption is certainly a viable option for a woman who opts to carry her pregnancy to term. But for all that, it is in no way an adequate answer to a woman's inherent right to life, liberty and security of the person. Even if every bill is paid, and every loss during the course of her pregnancy is m... |

| There can be no argument asserted that abortion causes suffering because the organism in question has virtually no experiential capacities, so the idea, then, of asserting rights to protection of prima facie non-existent interests is quite humorous. What's all the more telling is that no such "right... |

| I'm not implying that you are supposed to have any of my values at all. I was recognizing the fact that because you are Atheist, you have your values and I have my values. Except that atheism as a FACT involves no "values"- it is a lack of belief in deities. Go out and find those ultimate answers. ... |

| To declare that, because women's sexuality currently is framed by being some ethereally-desirable sex vixen, such a paradigm is "primal" is more than a bit silly. To experience sexuality not as an inhabitant of a feeling, sensory body, but by imagining someone else's visual view (not even other sens... |

| Bill, I think you got a bit confused. The person was probably saying that penis and penetrative-centered sex is usually the only kind depicted in media (including pornography) and it's a myth that most women orgasm this way. Cause, ya know, it is. :wink: I think you're conflating orgasms experienced... |

Either your sarcasm meter is under-sensitive, or mine is giving me a false positive. |

| No I don't think there is a firm correlation, in fact you can just as well have ultra-orthodox on the spectrum. Correlation =/= mutual inclusivity "This fallacy based on the idea that ASD people are more rational, but really this is fallacy in it own right. Even if some are, that doesn't preclude C... |

As the world's #1 producer of healthy and well-adjusted children
it makes all the sense in the world for marriage to be incentivized in legal codification. |
