Poll question: Should the government force a parent to donate their kidney to save their kid's life
Edited on Wed Apr-25-07 06:07 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
if that's the only way the kid lives?

Men see this in absolute terms and being about the government's power, and would say "no" which is why if we had babies the right to abortion would never be debated.

4. ah, but therein lies the hypocrisy
because as soon as the baby gets out of the womb, their ideology moves to 'survival of the fittest'.

2. Fair's fair. If they overturn Roe v Wade I could get fully behind
a law that would do just that.

For the sake of consistency, you know.

5. Interesting. Should we all be forced to donate blood?
That would actually save a lot more lives.
