To point what out? That some ol-meanie blogs won't let you post comments? Boo hoo.

Of course I don't, and yes, I expected that to be an answer. Of course I don't have a counter to it, which is fine by me.

(Birth defects or "slowness" comes in a lot of variations, just as an aside).

If we're assuming severe birth defects here - I would never, ever want to have that happen to a child of mine, and when I got back a test result that led to an amnio (no problems, thank God - I'm not posting a personal story), I certainly felt I could not handle a severely disabled child. Wouldn't want to, couldn't, whatever. Pretty sure what I would do. Having had the benefit of a few years as a parent, though, what you think you can or are willing to handle really often does morph. No, ltl/fb, not transformed through the magic of childbirth, but it shifts. If you know it won't, then you're right not to go down that road at all.

If that's the problem by extension how do we deal with people who want a partial opt-out? For me I am fine picking up food, shelter and clothes but I want someone else to pick up my unwanted $40K tuition bill. Takers?

There are easy ways to avoid pregnancy and the relative cost is not all that different from a pack of cigarettes or a beer, which most of the bums i see on the street have no trouble affording, so they can't be that cost prohibitive.

Nope. I retract.

Adopt them out if you miss the time cut off. I understand there is a quite a market for this.


What's your point? I wasn't making a viability argument.

Condescending and irritating, excellent! My work here is done. ;-) No, really, I know it sounded that way, and I hate that, too. Just, well, see supra. Not intended.

Are we supposed to point out every time someone is condescending or irritating? Because I should be posting a lot more. Just saying. :-) Now, peg? grandpa?

Just make sure they don't graduate HS until they're 18. Problem solved.

Hopefully for the child's sake, although remember the liberals are a crowd who thinks starving someone to death is humane.

First of all, we are talking about what the Constitution requires at a minimum, not about what is wise or likely. And if the Senate adopted such rules, e.g. because travel is difficult, where is the revolt coming from?

Fringe settles most disputes through sex, sometimes with non-combatants. Caveat emptor.

Oh. Well, both my grandfathers are dead, so enjoy!

No opt out. You buy the ticket, you take the ride. Personal fucking responsibility, remember? You weren't talking out of both sides of your mouth when you were harrumphing about personal responsibility, were you? You don't have any problem with being forced to suffer as equally as the person you knocked up, do you? That would be, well... irresponsible.

You fuck it, you own whatever pops out of it. You can't "give at the office" on this one. Your in whole hog or none at all.

But that doesn't work for you, does it? Kinda scary, ain't it? Now you have an idea what it feels like from the chick's perspective, and why your high moral horseshit rings pretty hollow. Unless you're willing to put your money where your mouth is and accept full responsibility, no woman should have to.

All or nothing, my harrumphing judgmental friend. Which is it?

Less demand if I don't alter my lifestyle. Plus my eggs are kinda old -- there might be a problem or two. Low demand if, say, the kid has Down's.

Pro-personal responsbility denies everyone choices Ty, come on. I am personally responsible at the penalty of Federal incarceration for paying my Income Taxes, which denies me the choice of keeping all that I earn for myself.

I suppose when we restructure our society to one of utopianistic anarchy we will all have all the choices we want. My first choice will be to implicitly retain and exercise my Second Amendment rights, as needed if the liberal rabble rousers attempt to limit my choices.

hey, thats the free market at work. But don't worry. Penske only opted out of the college tuition, so he's still on the hook.

You do have an integration clause in the contract, right? His people will be trying to renegotiate/introduce parol evidence to weasel out.
