USC broke their Heisman -- (link) - hollywood big shot Nov 4, 21:22 8
- That’s going to ding his draft stock too -- nm - FlavorizeThis Nov 4, 21:30 7
  - If him outplaying the Heisman favorite dings him, the talent evaluators are idiots. He ain’t playing defense. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 04:20 3
    - It’s not about that—it’s about emotional maturity IMO—a #1 overall QB is a captain and everyone’s $$$ is attached to their performance -- nm - FlavorizeThis Nov 5, 05:40 2
      - I see a dude giving it his all and breaking down because the results aren't reflecting his own brilliance. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 06:17 1

        It's not pro life. it's anti abortion. Big difference. It's forcing wqomen to give birth against their will. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 05:29

- While I was living in NYC, I had the opportunity twice to have a deep and long conversation with a friend who was thinking of having an abortion. - Marlowe Nov 4, 19:07
- I think the pro-life exodus was mostly due to Trump and those discussions—ST was more politically balanced before all that -- nm - FlavorizeThis Nov 4, 19:07
- Slackertalk, a group of largely men, probably doesn’t have a winning hand when it comes to the subject. -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 18:21 1

A woman should be able to get an abortion whenever she and her doctor decide it’s needed. Period. -- (edited) - znufrii, vice president Nov 4, 14:52 23
- Ok how about abortion for any reason until 20 weeks, abortion for specific reasons endorsed by a doctor at any time -- nm - rollo Nov 4, 15:00 22
  - Ah, yes, those flighty women just going around getting abortions for “any reason” -- (edited) - znufrii, vice president Nov 4, 15:07
  - that means you'll have versions of "you're not dying enough to help, comeback later when you're bleeding out or your kidney's are fried" -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 4, 15:03 20
    - But there's a finite number of medical outcomes to pregnancy. So put all the bad ones on the list -- nm - rollo Nov 4, 15:06 19
      - Or you can just trust women to know what is right for them. -- nm - znufrii, vice president Nov 4, 15:08 17
        
        Sure, but that position isn't acceptable to pro lifers -- nm - rollo Nov 4, 15:10 16
        
        So what? None of their damn business what someone else chooses. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 15:17
        
        I know they like to call themselves pro-lifers, but call a spade a spade: they are anti-abortion. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 4, 15:14 2
        
        They are also anti birth control. That means they are pro forced birth. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 05:28
        
        Pro-forced birth -- nm - znufrii, vice president Nov 4, 15:43
        
        Neither is a 20-week ban. Or a 12-week ban. Or anything short of them being able to fully control women’s decisions -- nm* - znufrii, vice president Nov 4, 15:12 11
        
        I know. Which is why they don't belong in the discussion. I'm thinking about practical solutions. -- nm - rollo Nov 4, 15:33 10
        
        engaging with extremists is the least practical solution. -- nm - mafic Nov 4, 15:37 9
        
        I agree, but an extremist is "no abortions ever", not "reasonable criteria". -- nm - rollo Nov 4, 15:40 8
        
        the least extreme I’ve seen a pro-lifer is “rape/incest/death.” that’s not reasonable to me. -- nm - mafic Nov 4, 15:47
        
        There is no “reasonable criteria” that puts anyone other than the woman in charge of her own decisions. -- nm - znufrii, vice president Nov 4, 15:42 6
        
        That's the other extreme. Where is the meeting in the middle? -- nm - rollo Nov 4, 15:45 5
        
        There shouldn’t be one. Not all things can be compromised. -- nm - mafic Nov 4, 15:50 4
        
        "Gosh, that sounds extreme!" they might say, but no it fucking doesn't. - Beryllium Nov 4, 15:57 3
