So to you, siamese twins are one person, despite the two brains?

Heh, I would be interested to see if an airline would charge two tickets. I suppose it would depend on whether they* could fit into one seat. What if one committed murder. Should the other suffer the same sentence? How would this work in a death penalty case? Or two brains, one penis. Can there be two wives? You present a good question. I wouldn't know who on earth is qualified to answer. How does natural law, or any of the holy books handle it?

*I sense a glitch in the matrix.

I'd be fine with that if it weren't for the economic forcing of women to abort.

Why would the economy matter? The choice is still hers. And she's making it using using available data. And also, in this case, what's more detrimental to the species as a whole? The economy, or the abortion? If mom has the baby, and both die, is that better than her aborting this one so she can have more in the future when she is more able to care for it? This is the way nature handles the problem, isn't it?

The entire credit based economy is a ponzi scheme, but it is within that framework that I'm speaking. For it to grow, the population has to grow with it. Truth be told, the entire thing has to be ripped down, and the borders too. They only serve to keep the slaves on the plantation. A person has at least the same rights to roam freely about as a moose. If they can't bring the food home, then they must be able to go where the food is. Seems pretty basic to me.

My point is that you will need people to continue to pay into social security since Americans aren't having enough kids. Best to get these people on the payroll to avoid a breakdown. As for the person I responded to, he/she will find that once they start getting a serious income, they tend to vote more conservatively. And they too will hate the new immigrants that come in after them.

Because a living, breathing baby deserves all the same rights as any other living, breathing person. But the big difference between a baby and a fetus is the physical separation from the mother. It might be genetically separate, but it has to be physically separate for it to count. Until it is born, the mother is the only rightful arbitrator. If I wanted to get really pithy about it, I would insist that you are not a person until you reach sexual maturity and can live on your own. There are times that I don't believe it's that far off base when I consider how badly society treats the living in comparison to the unborn and the deceased.

A fetus isn't a "person". It is part of the mother's body until the umbilical cord is cut. Hell, a baby isn't a person. But it is alive and separate. That's what makes the difference. That is the dividing line and nothing else. Nobody, but nobody has ANY authority as to the fate of a fetus but the mother. The authoritarian patriarchy disagrees, but screw them. So Ron Paul is incorrect also. It is nothing but suppression of natural human functions for the purpose of crowd control and enormous profit.

Well, it's pretty clear that absolutely nobody gets that high up without engaging in lots of buggery. That's how perverted the system has become. To be expected when you try to repress what is probably our strongest urge. I haven't checked that deep into looking for the actual data, but I don't believe it's being sequestered away from public view. Doing something like that would be very counterproductive, I would think. I betcha the arguments amongst the psychologists themselves would make even a better book than this one.
