World is Falling Apart Thread (Locked forever)

Sure, nothing is 100%. No amount of education is going to create a complete success rate, particularly when people have impaired judgment, though you can at the very least attempt to limit the influence of that impairment.

Conversely, as previously stated bans do not stop 100% of all abortions. Heck, not even 100% of abortions are successful. Nothing's perfect.

The real question comes down to whether taking steps that would prevent people from seeking abortions via education, preventing sexual assault, removing hindering economic factors, and working to bolster a difficult system of adoption would do a better job in bringing down those numbers than a flat out ban. Which of these two means is more effective, and which is ultimately better for a society to pursue?

Ack, I love you so much right now. That is the very best path forward on the issue of abortion. I think you'll find that most pro-choice advocates also support social programs and interventions to address those causes. What confuses me is that the most virulent "pro-life" supporters oppose many or most of the kinds of social programs for health, education, and pre- and post-natal interventions that are most needed to save infant lives even beyond the issue of abortions. There is a particular group of anti-abortionists who are in effect very anti-life.

Didn't George Carlin have a bit on that, where that segment of the populace cares about you when you're a fetus, and when you're enlisted in the military, but at no other time?

Oh my. Are they really Photoshopping his hands to make them look bigger now?

That's just sad

[MrPopo]

It really paints a picture of the man in our highest office.

What's worse, is that they didn't even do a very good job.

With the way they talk you'd think they could hire someone who could make it look seamless.

I guarantee Samson and I could do a better job in five minutes. It would be the best hand enlargement you'd ever seen. They would be the biggest. The best. You'd never see a better big hand in your life. It'd be truly spectacular.

Would you make them...

YUUUGE

As someone that works with UAS imagery every day, I had a feeling what Snopes was detailing was going on. I can get rather different results depending on the camera used, the lenses, lighting conditions, all sorts of factors.
