Fair enough Major Nikon Dec 2018 #24

As to the initial question, guillaumeb Dec 2018 #25

There's lots of reasons why some think abortion is wrong Major Nikon Dec 2018 #28

I understand your points. guillaumeb Dec 2018 #33

So you shouldn't even offer your opinion then. trotsky Dec 2018 #44

If a person asks me my opinion, guillaumeb Dec 2018 #45

It is irrelevant and only serves to demonize abortion and the women who choose to get them. trotsky Dec 2018 #46

You already tried that one. guillaumeb Dec 2018 #47

I disagree with your belief that abortion is murder. trotsky Dec 2018 #48

Thank you for responding for another. guillaumeb Dec 2018 #80

I always respond for myself. MineralMan Dec 2018 #83

What does the Chinese govt oppressing certain theists have to do with your anti-woman belief? trotsky Dec 2018 #75

I think it's an attempt to construct a new straw man. MineralMan Dec 2018 #76

Well I can certainly understand why he'd rather talk about anything else... trotsky Dec 2018 #77

I suppose so. MineralMan Dec 2018 #79

Perhaps you should learn the colloquial use of "everyone" marylandblue Dec 2018 #90

So one usage is synonymous with 3-5 people? guillaumeb Dec 2018 #93

That's too small a group to make up a choir, Guy? MineralMan Dec 2018 #95

I disagree. guillaumeb Dec 2018 #96

Your link does not make the case. MineralMan Dec 2018 #97

Funny that you should ask that. guillaumeb Dec 2018 #99
