I, personally, would only have an abortion to save my own life, but it is not my place to tell another woman what she can or cannot do with her own body and life. It's not hypocritical because I realize that my situation is not the same as another's and it is not my place to tell another how to live her life or what decisions to make for her own body, just as I would not want another to tell me how to live or to make decisions for me regarding my life or body.

Now, those who would deny others the right to their own body, while simultaneously insisting their own daughters, girlfriends, wives, etc., get abortions are being hypocritical.

Self-ascription is all that matters. They call themselves Christian, they ARE.

The article says, " Most categories of ejaculation frequency were unrelated to risk of prostate cancer. However, high ejaculation frequency was related to decreased risk of total prostate cancer. "

Now, of course, this raises the question of which is the cause of which, etc. Perhaps having something wrong with your prostate ruins your interest in ejaculating? Someone with better Google Foo than me might turn up some actual references.

Perhaps that is the key: We should be pushing to repeal all limitations on abortion and replace them with a requirement that the woman sign an affidavit of regret within a year of the procedure.

@9 is right. Too much of the time, "it" happening to a person just makes the person make an excuse or exception. Also, one of the good things about Christians is the focus on forgiveness. It's okay to have had an abortion in your past somewhere if you're convincingly SORRY about it. That's how so many "pro-family" politicians keep their supporters after affairs and other shenanigans.

It should REALLY kill you how many women want the same for you, because they're more than willing to tolerate this bullshit.

"Basically this: Conservatives tend to change their positions on specific "controversial" social issues when "it" happens to them."

Yeah, for their particular instance, nothing more.

The phrase "fuck you, I've got mine" exists for a reason. They'd drive their mistress/daughter to another state and continue criminalizing abortion and murdering women who can't get a safe abortion in theirs.

Cause it is so important to have backup you can count on when you decide to take out your 3 month old unborn baby.
