i dont have to believe in other peoples religions to accept that there belief is just as valid as my own
Really? So why don't you follow their religions as well?
Oh right, because their religions are "invalid." Btw, it would help your arguments if you actually used the right words to argue your position.
it doesnt mean i think there beliefs are true or even correct only that there right to believe them is jsut as valid as my right to belive my own
In this argument, you are not arguing the validity of their belief, but their right to have a differing belief. And again, you're using the word, "valid" incorrectly.
i dont accept evolution for example ( at least not macro evolution) as i am a creationist however i accept that athiest are perfectly welcome to believe it to be true
Yeah, here you're getting into the ridiculous, in that evolution is not a belief, nor is it "believed" by atheists. It is a scientific fact/theory, with substantial supporting evidence. In such, it is accepted as a scientific fact/theory by both atheists and persons of varying religions. You can no more disbelieve it than you can disbelieve a ham sandwich. Your unwillingness to accept evolution is based on ignorance, not lack of faith.
i have my beleifs based on my best interpritation of the data presented. just like everyone else to me my beleifs make the most logical sense possible
What data? Also, you're confusing logic with false logic (fallacious reasoning).
but who am i to tell someone else they have no right to choose what they beleive or to say there beleifs have no place in society ? thats the height of arrogance
indeed, so what do you think of gay marriage, abortion, teaching "intelligent design" aka creationism in public schools, stem cell research, women's equality?
You see, it's not as simple as making a claim, you have to back it up by not assaulting the purity of science and allowing people to live their lives as they wish without attempting to impose laws that prejudice.
first and formost the woman in the story didnt participate in behaivior or activity with the known consiquince of the end result
Indeed, shame on that woman for being raped, or that teen girl for having sex with her classmate. Shame on that child for being molested by her stepfather.
furthermore in the case of pregnancy a woman is still fully capable of leading a normal life and continuing work and school unlike the woman int eh story who is chained to a bed with a stranger
In this I agree, pregnant women can continue much of what they did prior to being pregnant, but many things do change and it's not merely a year of their life, it is not without hardships, nor is it perfectly safe
(mortality of 1-2 per 10,000, which is a mortality rate more than 100 times that of automobile deaths, and we're not even considering post-pregnancy ailments, including diabetes, Graves disease, autoimmune hypo/hyperactivity, anorectal dysfunction, etc). Beyond that, there is the psychological impact of carrying an unwanted child full-term.
Look, your mistake here is simplifying it into the male's perspective of pregnancy, which constitutes drinking of beer and passing out cigars. Hell, without enforcement of child support the male isn't obligated in any respect, particularly if he gets away with rape.
(and no were not including rape in this seneraio as i pretty sure its been made clear that the vast majority agree with abortion in the case of rape even most religions)
Finally you bring up rape. And, unfortunately for your claim, your particular religion makes it a point to argue against abortion, regardless of causation (
"right to life" not,
"right to life except in cases of rape").
Yup seems like nobody likes prevention... Oh well back to an attempt at preventing what already happened.
Actually, everyone likes prevention, but prevention has repeatedly been demonstrated to not be 100% effective, particularly because of the very common teen mentality
(which follows many into adulthood) of,
"it's not going to happen to me." The only reliable form of protection is abstention, good luck with that. Also, let's see how well your "prevention" works against rape/molestation.
