I'd rather it be legal and accessible than not, but I think better (non-abstinence) sex ed and better/cheaper birth control for both genders could prevent a lot of unwanted pregnancies and in turn a lot of abortions.
You should be at least 18. The plant should ideally be just-sprouted or as young as possible.

Table legs actually do have tilt. If you've ever sat at a wobbly table it's because the legs were incorrectly tilt-adjusted.
Upchuck is a racial slur for wood-chucks, it's very offensive to...
My name is quasi-star-chaos. Quasi-star is a scientific term for a black whole whose mass and gravity is so strong that the matter falling towards it (but still outside its event horizon) heats up and glows brightly, like a star.
My quest is to accomplish whatever goals I decide to set for...
My religion is Chaos Magic. Basically, I practice ritual magic, and believe that there is no objective, absolute reality. Reality to me is essentially the same as my perception of reality. So by changing my perception, say by changing the belief system I choose to acknowledge, it's possible to...
Some people have referred to chaos magic as a left hand path tradition. I'm not entirely sure I agree with the label for chaos magic in general, but I consider myself to be LHP.

You wouldn't be inherently right or wrong. If you considered your actions somehow rationally justified, then you could argue that you were right to kill me. Society in general, and likely the police officer arresting you, would likely believe you were wrong to kill me, especially if it wasn't in...
For me stuff like that would fall under subjective morals. I behave ethically and treat others respectfully, but I do it because I want to, not because I feel as though I'm obligated to.
I 've mentioned once in my introduction that I identify as a moral nihilist, meaning I don't believe there is a such thing as objective moral truth. I believe that any and all moral views held by humans are subjective, with no one being intrinsically any more or less correct than anyone else...
