These threads are a dime a dozen, and the argument/debate has been far past exhausted while everyone thinks what they have to add will sway someone's stance. Is Abortion Murder?

I'm sure there's a dozen more threads on abortion, these came up from a quick search. Reason I bring this up is because of the redundant questions rule (yeah, I've been reviewing the rules), and it's utterly annoying to see the topic arise again and again as if it's something new and groundbreaking. I post this because there shouldn't be a need to make new threads, if so there should be a Low Content Abortion Thread (I could make a very non-PC joke out of that...), but if a new abortion thread starts by someone who decided not to use the search function first I might explode.
Abortion seems to be a subject of strife wherever one goes....
i'm bumping this - this should be bumped every so often to help people keep perspective
"As in a kaleidoscope, the constellation of forces operating in the system as a whole is ever changing." - Ludwig Lachmann
"When A Man Dies A World Goes Out of Existence" - GLS Shackle
What perspective is that, exactly?

Please don't be so vague.
did you make this comment because you:
a)trying to argue something
b) drawing some inference from my response that you find unpleasant
c) have no idea what I meant by that response - and it is a completley left of center response to you (something like a gibberish)
d) something else
All I can say is f it is option C - there is nothing more I can say. If people are confused by what I wanted to be a short unreflective colloquialism ("help keep things in perspective") that I don't think deserves this much attention - so be it I'll strike the post if more people have no idea what I was saying - but I'm not going to be defending the line as some "grand theoretical statement" or anything. If you're trying to draw some profound exegesis from the comment - prepare for dissapointment.
I am simply calling this thread "useful and helpful" - if you don't think so - so be it, there is nothing I can do...you win.
If you think I'm tsomwhere in category A & B - spell it out
I sure hope you didn't expect that to drive me away, William.
I asked you that question because I had no idea what you meant by "perspective". It's that simple. I'm still not really sure what you mean by it, and now you're apparently refusing to tell me. Why is that? Why make a comment that you don't want to clarify when someone reasonably asks you to?
To be honest with you, it's clear to me that you don't like "noobs" starting new threads about issues that have already been re-hashed many times in the past, like abortion. Well, if you feel that strongly about it, why don't you open back up your mod account and start outright deleting the threads that you don't like?
Sorry, I didn't realize the "wonderful" forum software had eaten yet another post of mine. (For any mods/admins out there, this happens when I'm on a computer running Windows 7 64-bit and using IE 9.)
Anyways, William, please do verify it.
Still waiting on that verification, William.
Gentlemen, please present e-peens for measurement...
Troll harder next time!
