WILF 44,332 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Well, what about that......2 places in America striking a blow for liberty, humanity and sanity. Alabama has just banned abortion and San Francisco has just banned facial recognition technology being used by anybody including the old bill. Gives you a bit of hope that a bit of normal thinking still exists in the world. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, I think the sensible way to look at it is this........ A tiny minority endure something terrible to save the slaughter of tens of thousands (millions globally) Or the slaughter of tens of thousands (millions globally) continues to protect a tiny minority Thats the circle everyone has to square in their mind I suppose mate. Now obviously I dont know the numbers of such horrible cases but I have a good idea of how many babies have been killed and that number is well over 60 MILLION !! Any logical person would have to assume that cases such as you mention are absolutely microscopic compared to 60 million......I not saying that makes them less hideous and terrible. If these babies were born and thrown on a heap in full public view it wouldn’t even be a question.....it would be banned world wide imho 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greg64 2,566 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 I just think that they should make rape cases an exception, like you say it would be a tiny minority but I certainly wouldn't want one of mine being in that minority 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also think, all be it less contentious to most folks, that the banning of facial recognition is a major City is a big deal. I don’t think people take nearly enough notice or give enough value to their freedom from the state. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That said, does this vastly overcrowded world need 60 million unwanted inhabitants. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
