News / Poland marching for life and family [132]

Actually I mentioned that medical help is ok as long as it doesn't have to mean women carrying the baby.

You haven't answered my questions. Would you like to try again?

Raped women

We are not talking about rape. We are talking about consensual sex which consist of 99,9% of the cases that ends with pregnancy. Do you want to sidestep the issue and talk about exceptions?

that the baby is basically dead

Nah, that baby lived for a few days according to you. In a sense we are all basically dead as we all going to die - should we all commit suicide just to spare ourselves and others the bother?

If that's not cruelty I don't know what is.

Evidently you don't know what cruelty is. Sadness, loss, mortality those are natural feelings and occurrences in human life.

The thing is pro life ppl put the foetus life above the women's.

That is a lie.

but eventually its a woman's body and a woman's right to choose

Not if you agree that we're talking about a life that woman carry in her womb. You can of curse be unreasonable and claim contrary as jon does (which is obviously a bull) and in that case we would agree to disagree.

If however you'll agree with me that it is a life than the right of ownership doesn't venture there. There is noting else that gives the right to women to terminate it.

I am perfectly logical and reasonable, thanks.

No, you're not. People are not lone islands and live in a society, men and women differ but came together to form a family where they have an equal say on all matters that pertain to them.

Exceptions are just exceptions and we are not talking about them.
If we would apply your logic (pseudo-logic) we would need to dissolve all responsibility of men for their offspring's welfare, meaning they wouldn't have to pay for them or contribute to a medical care for women or their (benefits if there are such in a country).

Women would be soon banned from talking about men issues, have a say in a war ( as chiefly men are fighting), that would transform society into some kind of strange sectarian camp with gender as a dividing line.

I don't see such a society surviving for long without turning into a large totalitarian utopia with the state as a sole ruler, not to mention that it all goes against human nature to care and nurture for their offspring and that goes both for men and women.

If it's a life that it can feel and live on it's own with medical help...

So if somebody after accident is strapped to life support apparatus and couldn't survive without it - should we just automatically turn off the switch? Should be a baby (who cannot survive on its own without adult care) be killed at will and whim? Should all mentality patients unable to survive without care on their own terminated?

I'm asking you valid questions here.

What I don't like in the pro life movement is that they stop other ppl from having their choice.

Nobody is forcing you to became pregnant. You can exr4cise as much freedom to chose as you want.

I don't go around telling ppl to abort

I'm not going around or telling you to became pregnant! What are you on about?

The baby died after few days. That's just cruelty.

No, demanding the right to make an arbitrary decision about life and dead based on the right of ownership that is a cruelty.

yes I do. It's a woman's right to choose.

If its a life than there is no place for a woman or a man to choose. They had their time when they could make different choices but at the point is too late. It is only a question of facing up to the consequences of choices they have made.

that was not what i was saying at all. Not at all. Isn't that some kind of strawman argument?

Roz as much as I'm flattered that you think otherwise I cannot read your mind. Please say what you want to say. Don't expect me to guess what you meant..

I don't even think men deserve an opinion on this, or rather, can have an opinion but should keep quiet.

It is some kind of convoluted sexism that escape logic and reason but I let it be as it going to be remain a fantasy anyhow. You could start it as a separate thread though. Lets us focus on the issue debated. Do you have anything to say on the subject other then tell men that they should shut up and don't talk about it?

It isn't. No more a life than a tag of skin.

Well, you're wrong but fair enough. So let agree to disagree.

You can always find some exceptions.,

It certainly isn't a person.

Come on admit its a life.

So in fact you were wrong. That has never been a majority opinion.

I don't know, I have no researched polls among doctors on the issue at the time. I might be wrong or right about this but its still be immaterial to the issue debated and to the argument I'm making here.

Instead of picking on straws lets go back to the main issue and to my argument that refuted your claim about doctors.

It isn't a life. It is a cluster of cells with no brain or other neural network.

Are you claiming that a cluster of cells is dead? Some sort of zombies? Sure thing its a life.

There was never such a time.

California, Germany.....not that it matters as I have pointed out that - "you confuse justification of an opinion and its acceptance by a certain group of people (allegedly doctors in this case)."

it's got everything to do with it.

I'm all ears.

It is easy for men to absolve any kind of responsibility for children, and equally easy for them to be on their soap box about abortion.

You are confusing issues here. There is no correlation between men that are irresponsible and don't care about their children and those who are against abortion. I would think - not treating men as somehow a mindless dick wearing mass of blobs - that those two kinds of men are mutually exclusive. It would stand to reason that those men that don't give fig about their children don't care about abortion either.

Also the fact that its is easer for a man to be absolved from any responsibility for children than women doesn't suggest directly or indirectly that abortion is justified. That line of reasoning would lead us to justification of a murder if that would be beneficial to a murderer.

So is your toe - it does not make it a person.

A person or a body can live without a toe, you're talking about terminating life.

An overwhelming number of doctors disagree.

There was a time when overwhelming majority of doctors agree that people with low IQ or some genetically inherited disorders need to be sterilized.
Anyway the last argument is fallacious if true - you confuse justification of that opinion and its acceptance by a certain group of people (allegedly doctors in this case).

Yet the religious anti-abortionists and anti-contraception people refuse to admit that they made a mistake by basing their opinion on medical matters on the writings of St Augustine.

Lets not talk about religious person nor about writings of St. Augustine. Let focus on the subject debated. I didn't bring region or religious beliefs into this argument and there is no reason for you (an atheist) to do so.

What about those decent and (very) intelligent women who hold another point of view?

Everyone can make a mistake, the real test of intelligence and decency is to admit that you have made a mistake.

And that of course depends on whether you accept the opinions of the vast majority of scienti

I don't need anyone opinion, I base mu view on facts.

sometimes decent and intelligent women have to make a very hard choice

Sometimes we all need to make a hard choice but the hardness of a choice is not an indication if it is the right one.

it is too easy for men to be anti-abortion.

I don't think that sexism has anything to do with the issue.

Not that I am saying abortion is a 'good' thing, far from it.

If it is not a "good" thing why would you condone it in the first place?

News / Poland leads in child well-being -- UNICEF [75]

In addition, you would also have to look at how other countries are performing.

You have made a few good points. However all issues in a population have their social, economical and political dimensions. I'm focusing more on the last one.

Also comparing Poland to UK is pointless as poverty doesn't mean the same in both countries.

there are also cultural problems too,

I think that cultural problems are nonissue here. It is rather unemployment and lack of perspective and prospects. Topped by the wrong approach by the government that either ignore it or thinks that throwing some money on them will solve it.

The major problem is no general consensus as to what direction Poland should take.

It was specifically a religious anti-abortion thing

You're saying it as if was a bad thing. After all it doesn't matter whether or not that was a religious demonstration All that matters is a fact that they're standing up for the right thing. After all defending the right to life is ultimately a good thing to do. You're not an evil person jon so you should support it.

that many children are condemned to a miserable life because of the attitude

That is not looking at the real problem but victim blaming as those patents in the overwhelming majority are also victims of their circumstances.

It's not really a big secret that the PO/PSL government was a great government for those that wanted to get up and do something

Sure survival of the fittest and those fittest took it all from taxpayers. Hardly a level playing field.

PiS won't change anything

At last it is a start.

News / Poland leads in child well-being -- UNICEF [75]

all i did was to present an updated report

I know and as always I used this opportunity to ask a question that begged to be asked.

I don't think it's quite that simple, plus you really have to look at the data in both reports carefully.

Nothing is that simple as it seems as a rule but there is a correlation and those question need to asked and answered by those who claim that PO government for the last eight years has been a great success and prosperity for all.

I can agree that could have been unprecedented prosperity for some but in terms of the general population in Poland things during the PO rule has gone wrong or at the least not better.

would be loathe to say that the worsening of childrens' circumstances is just down to the government in power at the time to be honest, things are rarely that cut and dried,

Yes, to be honest to be certain it would require a study and evidence. Hoverer I think we can safely venture a judgment that at the very least nothing has been done to improve implorable, disgraceful and appealing circumstances of nearly million children in Poland. That says a volume about such a government that neglects its duty towards children - don't you agree?

Are you fantasizing about it ?

All the time.
Seriously though one has to wonder has your been infected by his germs hence you're repeating verbatim his rubbish arguments or have you imported those from Syria.

And polish.

Sure, I don't know you but seeing the way you arguing here and your stance I doubt that very much.

An atheist from a catholic family

Should have more sense coaming from a real regime into troubled but nonetheless democratic country and distinguish between an authoritarian regime of his home country and a democratically elected one with ease.

I voiced the reason of my concerns,

You voiced historical scaremongering common to those who are on the opposite spectrum of politicks in Poland, namely those who lost the last election and cannot get over it. I'm guessing that you simply took their spin on things and their malarkey for the real McCoy.

If there were a real threat to the considerable freedoms in Poland I would be first to rise my voice against it. As it is there is no such a threat, even thought that overtly government in Poland is too big but it is a common European malady.

there are already people who are condoning the use of this law to suppress demonstrations

So what? Some anonymous voice on the internet? So what? That is a democracy anybody can have his or her say. That doesn't equal with government's policy.

I think that is a good opportunity to ask few valid (this time) concerns that are based in reality not some feelings.
I mean what is a purpose of those demonstrations? Those sizeable gatherings are indeed and in a way a threat to the security.
What more in order to police those demonstrations Polish taxpayer is paying a lump sum of money.

All these legislation, laws, politics that you support are affecting our lives (the people who are living here) not yours.

That's delphinine and others almost verbatim. You sure you're not kissing and all? On the other hand being from Syria and a Muslim you have the right of it of being concern about those laws - to some extend at least.

On the other hand those laws are pretty standard nowadays elsewhere and have been long way in waiting to be introduced in Poland.
Scaremongering by certain bad losers are just that a pure malarkey.

There is a 2013 UNICEF report which is obviously far

So, what happened from 2009 to 2013 that according to the UNICEF report that significantly worsened condition of children in Poland? Would that be a coincidence that worsening of circumstances of children in Poland in those years correspondents closely with allegedly beneficial rule of the PO government ? I think not!

It is pretty certain that we got ourselves proof in a form of the UNICEF reports that PO's time in power was anything but beneficial to the general population of Poland.

My concern with PiS's anti-terrorism law, is that terrorism might be used as a pretext to ban legitimate democratic protests, as many many regimes have done that.

Your concern is laughable in the light of the reality. I can only guess that due to delph influence you are on a friendly terms with a certain circles in Poland that are not very representative of the whole. If you mistake they politically motivated hysteria for a real concern you might get that impression.

Basic draft for that act has been written by the PO wile in charge. So its rather hypocritical for them to claim that the act is bad. What they wanted use it for then?

Talking about regime in the context of democratically elected government is a folly, its is silly, and has nothing to do with reality. #
I would think that someone who calls from Syria would be able to spot a difference but obviously you proved me wrong.
