FCC deregulates the media.

I'm not saying it's fair. I'm just saying there's nothing legally we can do about it. I don't see a way we can legislate around the fact that women give birth, and thus have control over the fate of the child for its first 9 months, and men don't. What do you suggest?

[Sufjan Stevens]

I can't suggest anything. Men aren't the carriers of the unborn children. Like you said, that's biology's way of working out.

If men don't want children, they can punch the pregnant woman in the stomach, but then again, I think that's murder. Yeah, so there's nothing men can do about it. I just wish they could have a say in the situation, but no matter what, it's the woman's choice in the end.

I don't think that means they should be outright illegal, though.

topic mixing, but first, abortion.

ok: i had to really twist this one around in my head.

a) no matter what, dad can't force mom to
i) have the baby
ii) not have the baby
force is irrational, yadda yadda yadda. if the mother doesn't want the child (ie unplanned pregnancy) then she doesn't have to keep it.

b) mom can't force dad to keep the baby either. get rid of child support, etc etc. if the mother wants to have the child but the father isn't ready for the burden, then he has a right to disassociate himself from that child finanically and for that matter, all the other responsibilities pertaining to child rearing.

you can't have it both ways. what's right and just and moral for mom should be right and just and moral for dad, lest we face a contradiction.

moving on to the FCC, i saw this comment "i'm anti-monopoly"

which i found ironic, considering only one body can create a monopoly: the state.
