| Message | You obviously don't understand the true meaning of logic, as displayed in article 3 of this bill. Testing has caused the number of dropouts in high school to increase. The arts and qualtiy teachers are over looked to create an stronger testing environment. Article 1 is taking away more rights to woman on how to choose what is best for their own body. This goes for what doctors thinks is best too. |

| Message | Who asks the infant whats best for it's own body? Should we murder an infant simply because Mommy doesn't want it? Huh? Thats idiotic. And we don't give a damn about dropouts. If the people are too stupid to keep up with the intelligent children then they deserve to live on the streets. We can't coddle every damn kid and idiot, progress isn't made that way. If you slow down the fastest trains to the same speed as the slowest you're slowing all progress that could be made. |

| Message | A woman has a right to remove something from her body whatever it may be. No one not even the state should force a woman to keep something inside her body to take her vitamins and consume what she consumes without her full consent. Come on! I thought you were a little more logical? Logically logical hahah. |

| Message | Fine. Alright. Lets stop telling guards to feed prisoners. Lets not put anyone on life support. Lets allow parents to not feed or nurse their infants. They aren't obligated to do this right? No? It's not their life. Logically. Right? Lets make fun of Ryan Andrewson, the only logical and intelligent person in this damn government. Good idea. Pick on the nerd. Fine. Cool. Alright. Nothing new there. Lets worship the dollar and some invisable little rainbow God who floats around. Lets not look at anything rationally, lets throw ethics and morals all over it. Sure. Fine. YOU ARE IDIOTIC. YOU ARE IRRATIONAL! NO ONE ASKED THE CONSENT OF THE INFANT! IF you go Scuba Diving, and you have a full oxygen tank. And the man going with you runs out, and hooks onto yours, is it acceptable to just rip him off and let him suffocate?! Even if you have plenty of oxygen for the two of you to last weeks, months, maybe even NINE MONTHS?! NO! IT'S NOT! THATS LOGIC, PEOPLE! The same applies for abortion. Oh my...oh......you people.... You.... |
