Abortion: Legal or Illegal

I suppose I meant I'm a dog guy and only a dog guy. I find cats to be relatively annoying, more like burdens than pets. I realize I have just made myself the manifestation of evil for 70% of the internet.

Cat man.

Look dogs are pretty cool and I like them, but cats are the lazy persons pet. They pretty much take care of themselves and all you need to do is clean up and feed em. They dont even want to be trained, which is not only easy but pretty awesome. It's like f**k you I'm gunna just sleep here, you can fetch that little jingly mouse for me.


edit: Though one of my cats, without any training from us, used to fetch things until she got old and lazy, and we caught our other using the toilet twice. Again, not trained of course. That is some animal intelligence! Or we are not much smarter, either way.

That was a little odd. 

So if you were to abort an animal would you prefer a dog or a cat?

Sorry about that, just trying to find a link.

If it's not she should be free to dispose of it.  If someone sneezes on you are you obligated to carry their snot around?

This is not ok, at least in my book.

Your point is that an abortion is more expensive than a condom, I assume.

The lazy part is having unprotected sex and just hoping nothing bad will happen. (For both men and women). It's a gamble, for some majority of the time, (I don't know the exact number) these encounters result in neither STD nor pregnancy.

Yes it's more trouble to get an abortion, but then you've already lost your gamble.

I don't support gambling with sex. Pregnancy is just one of the issues. HIV is another. Enormous cost to society simply because someone didn't want to accept the fact that sex has consequences.
