A question for liberals: if euthanasia is “painless,” how can lethal injection be "painful"?

So a person’s Right to Life is dependent on which side of their mother’s cervix they’re on?

[grundle]

I would be uncomfotable with the abortion issue no matter which side I was on, because I view this as an example of conflicting rights. What I don’t want is a police state.

[DuncanWaring]

A state that outlaws the murder of unborn babies is a police state?

Duncan, you're going to get the poor little Gooch all cornfused. You are using logic derived from a solid moral foundation. Gooch is relying on his rote repetition of things he heard some Libertarian say that he thought sounded good.

Gooch has shilled on this forum for Jill Stein and recently outed himself as a Gary Johnson voter:

"So once again, here’s another reason why I’m glad I voted for Gary Johnson in the 2016 Presidential election."

And of course you have to wonder about the thought processes of a guy who gives himself "grundle" for a screen name.

And while he's over here trying to tell the strongest pro-life forum on the internet that abortion should be legal, he's on another thread arguing that the border wall will screw up the flight paths of birds and bats.

Yup, this here's a real clear thinking Conservative.
(And did he mention he has a blog?)

If the law against abortion is enforced to the fullest, then yes, it would have to be a police state.

[DuncanWaring]

If a full-term unborn baby two days prior to its expected delivery date can be killed in your beloved “free state”, how about a baby two days after it’s born?

If a baby two days post-birth cannot be killed, why not?

The baby really hasn’t changed much in the intervening four days; the only real difference is which side of its mother’s cervix it’s on.

[grundle]

Good point. A big part of me agrees with you. I feel very conflicted on this issue.

[DuncanWaring]

Ask yourself “Does an innocent persons’ right to life supersede all other rights?”.

Dear GailA,

re: “The biggest cause of OD’s is Heroin laced with stolen or fake Fentanyl.”

Nobody put a gun to their head to begin using junk!
It was their choice to start, no matter the so-called reason.

I do not condone tax money for this, or the so-called ‘replacemeent’.

[GailA]

Replacement has not worked out well. No more than Methadone has. Person is still addicted.

CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS take no more Opioids, than they need to function as best their health conditions allow. They should not be treated as Junkies, for they aren’t. Reducing or weaning them off has been a failure health wise. Many have had to go on Disability, where once they were able to work and pay their own way, going from a level 10 pain to a level 4-5 is a world of difference, you can take care of yourself then and work.
