Game Changer! - Page 38

Well, back in "our" day, I certainly understood that depending on the male half of the equation to take charge of the result was really bad odds. And now a days the options are incredible. I am surprised when I keep learning something new about all the modern availability of options because frankly, I don't need to bother with it all. Lol

My son is well aware that I look forward to being a grandma one day, just not while he's a teenager. I was slightly grossed out picking up a used condom from his room floor one day, but really, my lecture to him about it was not to be such a pig!

Everyone uses religion grounds, and at the same time they never go to church. I see it as lazy excuses, and sometimes entrapment to marriage. I do know of people who have gone that route. How many times can they say, the pill didn't work! They can't all be the .001 percent exception!

Family shaming? Not any more. More people have kids and choose not to marry all the time. That stigma is passé, IMHO.

I knew girls who only did anal because they could keep their virginity and no chance of getting pregnant. Maybe that is the answer, lol. There still are very religious families that shame. Don't think that is not still a problem and in the past it was a big problem. Only slightly grossed out. lol, love it. I remember one of my girlfriends back in the day that got in huge fights with her parents because they would not take her to get birth control and I believe her mom even called her a slut or something similar. It still happens Bee. A lot of woman can't take birth control because of the side effects whether that be mental or physical in nature. I do generally agree with your points but I also realize it isn't available nor appropriate for all woman. My wife couldn't take birth control back in the day, to many side effects. She did try. Now we don't worry about it either. Sex is one of my favorite topics, lol. With all my head injuries it has effected my sexual needs and I have been called a sex addict in the past. Unfortunately age has diminished those urges and left me closer to normal in that regard. I still believe in the fact that abortion is a woman's right to decide but I am personally against it. And would never advocate a loved one do it.

The conversation about legality of abortion is never going away no matter what the supreme court says....because many men, whether they like to admit it or not, are still stuck in the same beginings of civilization dark ages mentality as adherers of sharia law...that women have zero human rights, not even the rights to her own body.

I can agree with that Joan. Fortunately, I am not one of those men.

I am at a loss at what to say! The prude in me just wants to jump right on past that anal business! 😖

Okay, time for a new Trump gaffe du jour!

Don't know why Christians are so anti-abortion, god invented abortion and gave meticulous instructions on how to do them.

The Bible's guide to abortion
I don't know how I missed this before, but I did. There is a biblical way of having an abortion. A method that is not only approved by God, it was invented by him. He describes it himself in the book of Numbers (5:11-31).
It's a bit long and complicated, so I'll break it up for you.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying ... If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner; Numbers 5:11-13
The first thing to notice is the context. This procedure is only intended for married couples, specifically for any man that suspects that his wife has been messing around. No proof is necessary; suspicion alone is sufficient to God.

Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon ... And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water ... And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD ... and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse.... (5:15-18)
OK, I am leaving some of the details out here, so if you're going to try this at home, make sure to follow God's instructions exactly. There's no guarantee any of this will work otherwise.

And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse: But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband: Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell; And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen. 5:19-22
This is the part that fooled me. I get the idea that if the woman has been unfaithful, then the magic bitter water will do something awful to her. But I wasn't sure just what. What does it mean to have your belly swell and your thigh rot? But then I saw the footnote in the NIV that said it meant this: "cause you to be barren and have a miscarrying womb."

So if the woman is guilty (had sex with someone besides her husband), then the bitter water will make her unable to have children in the future. And if she is pregnant at the time, it will abort the pregnancy.

And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law. Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.5:27-31
It's all part of God's wondrous Law of Jealousies. God's magical abortion procedure. A priest, some bitter water, and a wife that you think might have been unfaithful. Priceless. So if God has his own abortion procedure, abortion can't be wrong, right?"

Oh, for Pete's sake! Here we go again with another Bible-- God bashing infestation of a thread. Stuttering, no less!

Take it to some other one! Stop infesting mine with your anti Bible -God obsession! There are plenty others for you to infect.

Really BORING.

Hillary gets cranky with Sanders supporters as she is forced to admit her fossil fuel lobby connections and support.

That fracking business, stuff, I just hate it. There is no way that technology will ever end up worth what has been done to the earth, and the water table.

And the earthquakes once rare but now common in Oklahoma. Destroys homes which insurance does not cover, because earthquakes don't happen in Oklahoma, donchaknow. Our disgusting governor here in North Carolina is all for destroying our state.http://www.environmentnorthcarolina.org/programs/nce/dont-frack-our-water-0

How is that bashing, grow up drama queen. The religious right is US politics, just correct me if I am wrong.

Abortion is big US politics, you assinate doctors over it, the reason is always scripture based.

If you are embarrassed by yr bible get another religion.

I am a fool for responding but your desperate attempts to make every post about you personally are..... just desperate.
