Frankly speaking, that makes no sense

Both are examples where it is legal to kill under certain circumstances, but not others. Just like abortion. You could also add warfare to the mix.

There's no duplicity since the death penalty is a consequence of committing a crime. The analogy fails just as I suspected

Except that I never mentioned commission of a crime. I merely mentioned that in some circumstances killing is legal, and the same act in other circumstances is not legal. Just like abortion.

After reviewing this more thoroughly there is absolutely nothing there that talks about groups wanting to do prenatal tests in order to perform abortions. It is nothing but wild speculations and the people quoted are specifically saying that it is not their intention that the tests be used that way though they admit it is a possibility someone might try.

Just a thought, but if you expect people to take your arguments seriously perhaps you should not make erroneous accusations that smack of wild conspiracy theories?

Belk, just because the media chooses to ignore something, doesn't mean it isn't actually happening.

That's like saying 9/10 Downs Syndrome babies whom are killed in the womb via abortion are in fact alive, simply because the mainstream media isn't reporting on the fact that 90%+ of Downs Syndrome babies are being killed in the womb via abortion...

You are correct. Just because it is not being reported does not mean it is happening. And just because some people theorize what might happen does not mean groups are advocating it. Simply because people think something might happen does not mean it is actually happening. :wave:

Cause the percentage I threw out concerning Downs Syndrome Babies being aborted, is not only reality, I'm actually understating the percentage...

I don't deny that. What I do deny is that I have seen any evidence for "Leftist groups advocating for autism detection so that they can use abortion as a cure". That was your claim was it not?

Look at the Wrongplanet link again, this was based off of an e-mail exchange...

Furthermore, I don't know of very many social conservatives that are "pro-choice" as you would call it...

I don't see of any other reason for trying to detect Autism while the child is still in the womb either.

So in other words you just made up that left wing [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] up. The guy was just asking for evidence of your evo driven rant

Lets stand with Rand Paul, everyone.

You stand with him -- I prefer to stand with the women he would have treated as criminal suspects.

As a foster parent for the State of Iowa I took care of a 14 year old child that was raped and got pregnant by the rapist. The girls mother wanted to kill the baby as you would have. Now 11 years later the girl that was raped is happy she chose to not kill but give the child to a family she pick out. The boy you would have killed is in fifth grade. My question to you is what would you have done to the rapist?
