Webster's defines sarcasm as "a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance". I looked everywhere [even under my chair in case it had fallen out], but I didn't see anything in Webster that says whether the utterer would be educated or not.

In this case, I used the word 'ironic' so that I could include the quote from Roxanne - one of my favorite movies.

She couldn't know that. She might have known that surgery comes with it's own set of risks, and didn't guarantee a good outcome though.

Sorry, I only got half way through the thread before my head exploded.

I wonder when exactly we went from, "should we kill it?" to a cutesy politically acceptable thing called "pro choice"?

Shouldn't woman decide what others are going to do with HER body. Or she should offer her body to anybody who wants to cut her?

That's why people come to the cellar.

To find answers to questions like that.

Ok. I see that you are a wisest one here. Can you clear an idea of 'pro life' for me?

1. Fetus is a separate person, so if we kill him/her - it is a murder. Right?

2. State can make a decision to cut someone’s body (woman) for benefit of said separate person (Fetus). Right?

So, basically State can make decision to butcher anybody if that can benefit some person. Am I right? Or I lost a track somewhere?

(there can be a milder versions, like they can take just your blood, so there will be no trace of surgery...)

Sure, if one of Bush's Republican friends needs a kidney, they just go down the list of democrats and pick one.
It's good to be the king.
