    Abortion threads tend to get personal and they are so generally obnoxiously male in outlook that they have in the past put off female patrons from posting in the Backroom.

    So I too will be watching this closely.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Abortion should be permitted if the only people talking about it are men.

    I will be watching closely as well. I suggest we all watch closely, or someone might say something.

    Quiet, I can't watch closely with your posts blocking my view.

    It should not be allowed.

    Politically, it shouldn't be allowed in the third trimester.

    You think you're watching me closely, but you're actually just watching a dummy I set up to pretend to type at my desktop while I make my real posts from my laptop.

    No one is ever going to change their point of view on this immensely touchy subject and threads have been messy in the past.

    Jesus, just trying to ensure that there's some civility around here. Sorry if you feel personally offended by that.

    Excuse me, what do you think you are doing? Are...are you trying to moderate or something? As if it was your responsibility?

    Abortion should be mandatory for certain individuals, based on a vaguely defined set of demographics chosen by our trusted legislators and championed by our infallible press corps.

    Backroom rules state that topics should have a defined purpose with patrons expressing their viewpoints and attempt to engage a discussion on the subject. So far this is simply all one-liners and a few posts not even contributing to the thread. If you want to have a discussion on this matter, please remake the thread so patrons can seriously discuss this.
