Calling your political opponents haters is not good conduct. Your pro choice I'm assuming. To what extent? 20 weeks, point of viability, birth?

If we want to abolish the minimum wage, we need a good alternative for poor people to make money. I was thinking the strong ones could be construction workers. Those companies need help with making projects. I'm sure they could hire poor people at a good wage to work those jobs. This causes the demand for McDonald workers to plummet, producing higher wages.

It's about saving the unborn's life. The woman chose her fate by having sex. Next time, just say no to premarital sex. You have way more hatred for me then I do of women, hypocrite.

Since post 16 didn't make any sense, if you want to do outer course, that's fine. But intercourse should be restricted. When I said, WTF, I meant What the fuck since I didn't think you were making sense. You were somehow trying to integrate star wars into it.

Tradesmen need competition to remain competent.
They already have competition. But too much competition is a bad thing for the tradesmen. Competition is good in moderation.

The left often likes to insult their political opponents. You accuse most GOP people of being straight white males. When there is somebody who is not a straight white male that is also GOP, they are accused of being self hating. I don't hate myself. I just can control myself and I encourage others to do the same.
Liberals: You GOP need to be more diverse. You guys are full of straight white males.
Cadence Owens, Ben Carson, Milo Yinnopolis: Okay. We are proud to be right wing.
Liberals: You guys are traitors to your race, sex, and sexuality. Every black person should be a Democrat. Every woman should be a Democrat. Every LGBT person should be a Democrat.

Is that cheaper than college? If that happens, I am worried that due to the mass influx of tradesmen, it would cause their wages to plummet. We can't have any industry receive too many workers otherwise their wages would plummet.

I'm bisexual and I can resist sex. If I can resist sex from both of my sexualities, most Americans can resist their one sexuality. Just wait until marriage. It's very easy. Real men are stereotypically brave, and that means that they can be brave enough to resist premarital sex and can marry the girl before they have sex.

The kick was intended for the camera, not the person.
Destroying property in the name of your ideology isn't justified either, on both sides. My previous link showed that pro lifers were being labeled in liberal buzzwords, "hate speech", "harassment". Eventually, people will take these seriously and would want to ban pro life speech. Currently the left controls the euphemisms and dyphemisms and these need to be banned from law so our laws make more sense.

First of all, taking away people from their life and putting them into a camp against their will is imprisonment.
It's just a personal day. They can reschedule it if necessary. They would get fined for not showing up if they didn't show up the first day.
There are women addicted to doing abortions... they do it for fun.
How can you be addicted to killing babies?
That's your opinion.
The claim that a fetus is a human being is a simple yes or no question. It doesn't vary based off of one's opinion. Either a fetus at a certain stage is a human being or they aren't. Evidence is required for both sides.
I do not believe abortion is murder.
Not backed by science.
but i'm willing to concede heart beat. After heart beat starts, there should be classes that teach about abortion and its effects. Up to when the nervous system attaches and connects the brain activity (around 20 weeks i think)
The heart beat is around 21 days(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20235196) and brain activity happens at 6 weeks(https://www.bing.com/search?q=When+does+a+fetus+have+brainwaves&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&pq=when+does+a+fetus+have+brainwave&sc=1-32&sk=&cvid=20521FE59DDF4A05892999B6300C41EC).
"You" think death is scary. I personally can't wait bc i think it's exciting. But i have enough to live for that
A fetus has, "enough to live for that" too.
have a lot of love in my life.
So does an "unwanted" child once they get adopted, which on average happens in about 2 years(http://www.adopt.org/adoption-statistics).
Take my personality and put me in a situation that is crap.
You won't commit suicide and I don't want you to either, so this is not a dare. Get help. Here's a link for you to get started(https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/).
It is not in your right to tell anyone who to be or how to live.
There are many non-controversial examples where this is not the case. We tell people not to murder. We tell people not to rape. We tell people not to kidnap. We tell people not to spread HIV non consensually. If someone wanted a murderous lifestyle, or wanted a lifestyle as a rapist, that would be and should be illegal. The same logic ought to be applied to be abortion.
That child is a part of the mother.
They have separate DNA and often separate blood types. Your body can't have 2 different blood types or 2 different DNA codes.
It's a part of her... not you. You have no right to bring your worldview onto others.
The law dos it on murder, on rape, on kidnapping, and assault. The law forces their worldview onto others in these instances. The law ought to do the same thing to abortions.
If you don't like the image, don't support abortions; simple as that.

You are advocating for more imprisonment, more harm to society.
When did I say that? I was thinking it would be just a camp for a day or so that they would attend on a personal day.
You can't ban abortion and expect adoptions is the way to save the thousands, if not millions of new kids that will be born into a world. That is not rational, that is not reality.
Adoption is fine, but abortion isn't.
People don't share your same ethics and morals.
If someone was an anarchist and they thought that murdering others was okay, they are allowed to believe that. They cross the line when they actually act on their beliefs and murder.
Reality is "not all" but a good amount will suffer.
A very small portion of people will suffer and innocents get saved from abortion. It will probably cause feminists to go on sex strikes, which are totally fine. They did that when Alabama challenged Roe. If the whole nation goes Alabama on abortion, feminists would go on sex strikes too, which is totally okay.
I would rather be aborted than to exist in that type of world. Why would you force a "soul" like mine to be born? What if i didn't want to be born? You would be forcing me to be born which i would likely later commit suicide if my situation was any different than it is now.
I don't want to provoke you to do something, but if the average person valued death over living a bad life, then all the people living in foster systems would commit suicide, or a majority of them would. But this is not the case. Death is scary. Because of this, whether or not people say it, unless they have committed suicide, they value their life. Since you value your life evidently (since you have not committed suicide yet), I encourage you to keep it that way and to value your life, even if it's a crappy life, over death, because death is bad.
your solution is the punish those that don't believe like you
That is the leftist solution since pro lifers get punished way more for being pro life then the other way around.

What type of poverty are you referring to? National poverty or international poverty? National poverty can be reduced by the poor people emulating those who are rich and by doing the stuff they do. International poverty in places like Africa can be reduced with a US invasion.

Meaning, making sure stupid people and criminals don't get their hands on guns.
Against the 2nd amendment. That has to be modified before you can legally do that.
Furthermore, banning abortions will force kids to be born to people that don't want them.
And then those parents can set the kids up for adoption.
This can lead to death of the mother and possibly pain to the unborn child bc of self administered abortions, backyard abortions, a black market
It almost never leads to the death of the mother. She can simply not have an abortion if she thinks it will kill her. Also, back alley abortions are less common then safe abortions because when anything is banned, it becomes less common then when it's not banned. Otherwise, by that same logic, we ought to legalize murder, rape, and kidnapping because if these practices are banned, then people will do it illegally. A good way to reduce their presence in American society is to punish the people that do them. Now I'm willing to compromise with the left on this. Rather then treating abortion just like murder on the punishment scale, a woman who has had an abortion could be forced to go to a pro life camp, where they make the women pro life (this is easy since the Right has the moral and logical high ground, all the left has are feelings and "facts" that just aren't accurate or misleading) and then from there, the women that have had abortions convince other people that abortion is wrong and ought to be punishable similar to how Steven Crowder does it. An eye for an eye, you take a life, you save a life, even if it's someone else's future kid. Given that about 1/6 women have abortions in their life (since some women have multiple abortions, like Hillary Clinton(https://www.lifenews.com/2016/03/29/woman-who-had-affair-with-bill-clinton-claims-hillary-clinton-had-several-abortions/)), they merely have to convince more people that abortion ought to become an illegal practice once it becomes banned.

I want voters to be informed on this.
Pros to ads:
-Generates more revenue which would provide an incentive DebateArt.com to make the site better.
Cons to ads:
-They look ugly.
-They can contain inappropriate messages.
Whatever your decision, please state why otherwise the vote won't count.
I personally to start off pick yes because I want Mike motivated to improve the site and if that means supplying him with more money from the ad revenue, so be it.

Bernie Sanders said it could be paid for with a .5% tax on stocks and a .1% tax on bonds. I don't think these taxes will raise that much revenue.

If you want evidence to back up my claims, you can fact check them to see if I am right. For example, if you don't know if the abortion rates are falling, you can look up abortion rates.

I think that since it was technology that ended slavery, it will be technology that ends abortion. Once artificial wombs exist that are good, the whole "Women's right to choose" BS becomes obsolete.

@FaustianJustice
Honestly examine which aspects of their platform planks are internally inconsistent.
Both parties appear to have inconsistencies.
Gays are becoming more conservative because of the left stance on Islam, at least I hope that. Abortion rates are falling, so abortion is becoming less of a threat. The left is unwilling to compromise on abortion, even though most claim they are willing to compromise in general.
Probably should make good faith attempts to appeal to minorities in honestly looking for racial inequality regarding law enforcement.
What are your thoughts on black people who complain about white privilege going through cheap, safe, effective gene therapy so they can get the white privilege they believe exists?

Do the kids even get messed up though? According to http://www.adopt.org/adoption-statistics, it states that over 94% of kids who
get set up for adoption get adopted within 4 years. Not only that, but since adoption costs a lot of money, this may sound like a negative but in reality, it means that only rich people are adopting.
