Well, one's health is very personal. And the procedure is a painful and invasive operation, with the added bonus of emotional turmoil. I'd have to go out on a limb here and say that it'd the rare woman/girl who wouldn't find it scary.

Function: verb
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French acunter, from a- (from Latin ad-) + cunter to count
Date: 14th century
transitive verb
1: to think of as : consider <accounts himself lucky>
2: to probe into : analyze
intransitive verb
1: to furnish a justifying analysis or explanation —used with for<couldn't account for the loss>
2 a: to be the sole or primary factor —used with for<the pitcher accounted for all three putouts> b: to bring about the capture, death, or destruction of something —used with for<accounted for two rabbits>

So - intransitive verb 2b: used with for <accounted for my baby>

I believe the unborn child is the one being held accountable...

I cannot seem to find just the right Smilie or icon to put at the end of this post. Do they make an animated one that shows a smiling face (you pick your favorite color) that is sucked apart by a little vacuum? Or one that is ripped to pieces by a surgical instrument? Or perhaps one that dies from poisoning?

Oh well -- I will settle for this one: .



Do you also believe women should seek legal consent from the father to have abortions?

Let me spell this out for you. I invited him here from the talent/curse thread to discuss this topic on an apropriate thread. Don't tell me I'm rude.

You're rude.


I wasn't even talking to you
.

But now I am:

Define tailposting. Then prove that that is what I'm doing.

Buzzer sounds: Does not apply.....

I was involved in the previous discussion on this thread and I was routing a discussion to the proper thread. You shouldn't start threads if you can't even read them yourself and remember who heavily contributed.

Do you spread so much bullshit that you can't even remember it anymore? Could it be?

1. Misrepresentation of an opponent's position. Pointing to crotch
2. Lack of intelligence. Pointing to melon
3. Inability to express own point. Points to hand.
4. Quoting out of context. Points to mouth.

Any more that you can think of let me know... I think more would be too busy.

ad· homi·nem· (ad häm′ə nem′)

adjective

appealing to prejudice and emotion rather than to reason
attacking the character, motives, etc. of an opponent rather than debating the issue on logical grounds

Especially for idiot(s) that can't spell what they try so desparately to express but can't.


I'd say that defines your situation...good turn of a phrase...Stick it rk!!

Actually dyslexia is a disease for the intelligent. Seems, however, you had to look it up... I'm not impressed.

I much prefer not being able to spell content others are unable to comprehend, so they lower themselves to pathetic little name calling alone for their "substance".

Thanks for the definition, I think I know what I'll call it now.
