`I despise abortion but I accept it for rape, incest or risk to the mother.

Have these cunts ever heard of pulling out? Or taking an auld tablet? Fuck sake.

Ever hear of condoms breaking?
Ever hear of people getting pregnant even when contraception is used?
Ever read to the end of that article you posted where it says that abortions among poor people are on the rise, obviously because they can't afford to "take an auld tablet"?

More riots in the States. Fella armed with a knife, refused to put it away and was approaching the cops. Even the fella's mother was telling him to drop the knife. But sher, let's have a riot anyway.

Whatever you think about abortion, here is the be all end all for me: its the woman's choice. How do I come to that conclusion? I put myself in their shoes and ask whether I would like a law in place telling me what I can or can't have in my body.

A lot of these Conservative types are all about "muh freedom" but when it comes to our bodies they want to rule our choices. 

I'm far from a woke liberal type either.

Just read the story there. I often wonder why when a fella has a knife, why not the taser instead of the pistol? 10 or 12 shots also sounds excessive. Maybe a couple to the legs might have softened his cough enough? Cops need to cop on a bit and stop fanning the flames. If he had a gun fair enough, but he didn't so surely something non-lethal would have done the trick? Edit: Just saw the quote from his family about why not the taser after writing that.

I'm against the violent protests btw and I have a feeling that half the protesters don't even truly know why they are kicking off and just want to express rage at someone or something.


Tazers are v unreliable and usually only reserved for unarmed. Can you imagine trying to aim a tazer at a maniac running towards you with a knife? The barb has to be fairly accurate. There are loads of videos online of tazers having no effect on these big lads.


Have seen a few of those videos to be fair. Maybe few shots of the pistol into the legs or feet or the like? I think anyone has the right to defend themselves against someone running at them with a knife, just that given the situation at hand, the cops might have to have a few non-lethal options to hand as well. Oul shotgun with rock salt or something.. rubber bullet gatling guns.. I dunno there must be some option. Suppose the officers can't be fully blamed for using force in exactly the way they have been trained to.

Morning after pills are available for the first scenario.

If you can't afford to have a child or take a tablet, then either practice safe sex in other ways or keep it in your pants.

This is basic stuff.

I don' t believe it's 'their body', but that's a philosophical debate and it's my position that one is sovereign over ones body at conception, despite being dependant on the mother. You clearly disagree and that's fine, I can see why some, probably most, do.

I'm surprised no one has thought of this before for the knife wielding maniacs so I'm going to patent it in the morning.
A giant magnet built into the cop car. A rare earth fucker....  :abbath:

After smoking PCP for a lot of people tasing them has about as much effect as hitting them with a feather duster. As mentioned already some people also just have a natural resistance to it.

And is every woman able to take a morning after pill with absolutely no known bad side effects whatsoever?
Or the daily pill for that matter?
And I suppose it's well known that 99% of condom breakages are discovered the moment they happen yeah?

And what about scenario 2?

Yeah but the retard who is out of his mind on drugs and attacking the cops with a knife is the victim! What are you struggling to understand??

When does personal accountability get brought in to the conversation? Yeah, you're poor and possibly oppressed, if you want to take that view, but you live in a country where the police will fucking shoot you if you act like a stupid, aggressive cunt. It's not exactly rocket science...

I don't think shooting him is out of order personally. I also agree with the assertion that he has to bear the responsibility for running at cops with guns while wielding a knife. The only reason I suggest shooting him in the legs or giving him several tasers is to stop giving ammunition to the race protesters, given how tense the situation is there at the minute. A bit of the non lethal type of apprehension might calm it down a bit. In other times the same fella gets shot with no fanfare, for better or worse. You can be sure we'd hear fuck all about it over here anyway.

Not sure what you are talking about I responded to a post about tasers I never said the cops were right or wrong to shoot the guy. I merely gave a reason why in a some cases tasers are not reliable.
