An Aryan MAY absolutely have a good-ol' timey Kristallnacht if his local business is in danger, no one can FORCE a German to horganise/participate in one against his wishes legally, and at the point of full economic viability (as defined when said Jew actually benefits the economy), there has to be an overwhelmingly significant reason to lynch him.)
Attempting to narrow this, or almost any other debate to "all or nothing" is the route to fanatacism, not thinking.
Firstly, Napoleon loses (That's been happening a lot today...)
Secondly: Whut? "Abortion laws should be rendered stricter, but still allow abortion as a valid option until very late in the term, unless a valid medical reason is present" = Nazi Germany? Your pseudo-satirial quote isn't very clear as to your actual intentions with the post. Elaboration would be appreciated.
Anyways, Napoleon, you seem to be viewing this entire argument in a very monochrome (Multiple syllables, whee!) fashion, and are doing a very good job of ignoring mitigating circumstances (As far as I can tell. I've only skimmed through the rest of the thread, so accept my apologies if I happen to have missed it).
Firstly, have you actualy considered the impact of rendering abortion completely illegal? Illegality won't kill it, it'll simply drive it underground. Clean operating theatres will become grimy alleys, where they women are left to bleed out after the 'operation'. Do you consider this an optimal situation?
Secondly, a personal question: Roughly, what social bracket would you consider you and your family to be in? I'm betting upper-middle middle class, or upper middle class. If so, do you
really think your lifestyle and education reflects that of the majority (84%, according to Wikipedia the Almighty) of those less well of than yourself? How does your exposure to informal sex-ed classes compare to that of a working class kid of the same age?
I find it very difficult to believe that even a large minority of people who are not explicitly told so can work out the dangers presented by STD's, the ease of conception, and the massive usefulness of contraception on their own.
I did, obviously, but with the idiots (Not always idiots; there are often other reasons. However, the net result is the same) who failed high school, I find it never pays to assume anything.
Thirdly, do you really think teenagers make good parents? No matter how amazingly informed you appear to think the average teenager is, a hell of a lot of 'em are going to end up pregnant anyways. Now, do you think it is fair to bring up a baby in the environment of two teenagers desperately trying to study and hold down jobs? In quite a few situations, I would be willing to wager, the child (and parents) would be so screwed up by the entire experience that they probably would have been better of not born. That, my friend, is not an environment where you want to bring up children.
Now, I know arguing with Napoleon "One Billion Abortions in the Last 50 Years" Ier is pretty pointless, but at least no-one can accuse me of not trying.
