Should we set up places for parents to beat children?

We should legalize child beating. If we do that, we can set up special places for parents to beat their children and minimize the damage. Keeping it outlawed obviously isn't stopping it from happening.

Abortion should be legal because it will happen if we outlaw it or not. We should keep it legal to limit the damage.

You see any difference in those lines of reasoning? Because I don't.

If something is inherently evil, like abortion or beating children, it should be illegal regardless of the pains that come with making it so. End.

Please don't get into if abortion is moral or not, this is about people who believe it is immoral, but are prochoice because of the reasoning above.

Update:

Coop, I see you don't like to read very much.

For future posters, I say again:

Please don't get into if abortion is moral or not, this is about people who believe it is immoral, but are prochoice because of the reasoning above.

Update 2:

Julia, please stop stalking me or come up with some sort of criticism.

Thanks.

Update 3:

"How is answering your post stalking?"

That was what you might call a "joke" that I made. It was a reference to your wild accusations of me stalking you because I replied to one of your answers.

Anyway, I'm done replying to you, I don't want my additional details to get too full for the other people.

Update 4:

I can't believe you people.

    Where are the moral relativists when you really need them eh?

    If all morals are relative...then "child beating centers" are just what the doctor ordered.

    But in reality "child beating centers" are dis-ordered.

    How is abortion evil? You've obviously never been in a situation were abortion might be a possibility so you have no right to judge any women that decides to abort her baby. Aborting a baby is already a hard enough decision to make and I don't think they need to hear your opinion about it, especially if you don't know the person. You don't know why they want an abortion. Anything could have happened to them.

    I don't think if you got raped and then pregnant with your rapists child that you'd want to keep it and some people just get pregnant too young. Wouldn't it be better for a teenager to abort their child, get a good education, meet someone and then have a child with them? Instead of them keeping the baby and giving it up for adoption or resenting the child because it prevented them from having a proper education? (I am aware that not every teenage pregnancy goes bad and I mean no disrespect to anyone who has had a teenage pregnancy)

    If abortion was illegal there would be a rise in back-street abortion which can be very dangerous and there is a serious risk of death. Also, many women can have problems and get seriously ill when pregnant, if this happens the mother is usually advised to abort her baby as there is a serious risk she could die. At the end of day, it's the MOTHERS decision if she wants to abort HER baby. no one else's. If you choose to keep your baby, that's FINE. If someone else chooses to abort there baby, that's FINE. Get over it, it's 2013, the mother has a right to decide what happens to HER baby and HER body. Not you.

    If people are going to do it anyway, society has the absolute responsibility to de-stigmatize it, and to encourage responsible practice. For example:

    People can Not be expected to refrain from having abortions. They will have them in back-alleys anyway. Therefore the government should provide free on-demand abortions.

    People can Not be expected to keep from shooting up. They'll just do it in a back alley with AIDS-infected needles. Therefore, the government must provide free heroin, needles, and a safe place to use it.

    A leading cause of death for elderly males is suicide, but the use of small caliber weapons prolongs pain and suffering. The government needs to provide 1911's with one clip of 45 ACP and a safe place to use them. Then they can clean them off and give them to whoever's next.

    People cannot be expected to curb their sexual urges. Therefore, the government must provide male and female sex workers...or barnyard animals...or for Julia, a snake...and safe places to use them.

    I'd like a cold Budweiser if it's all the same to you.

    Certain laws are bound to fail. Prohibition of alcohol failed miserably. Not every law is like this, of course. It depends on how strongly people want a thing. When you want an abortion, you will do just about anything to get it, even risk your life. Likewise, people who want to drink will go to great lengths to do so, they'll fight and scheme and work just for the promise of a little booze. Beating children isn't like this. People do it because they think they can get away with it, not because they are desperate for it and can't bear the thought of what their life would be without it.

    that was the worst comparison ever. lets just legalize every illegal thing because it happens anyway then. Child porn! Incest! ... Not comparable to a woman having choice over her own body. Awful thought process there. Sorry.

    If you don't like what people are saying then:

    Don't post about such a controversial topic. Problem solved. Putting a disclaimer does nothing. Even if you post it 50 times. The reason you posted this was because you wanted people to agree with you, and 99 percent of people probably don't agree with your reasoning above. So if you don't want answers that disagree with you, delete the question. -_-

    Abortion is nothing more than the perverted selfishness of a woman unable to accept what God has given her manifesting into the ruthless murder of the purest and most innocent form of life.

    One of the best arguments against legal abortion that I've seen! I'm pro-choice because of that. I guess I'll have to re-think. Thanks.

    Abortions aren't "evil" when the life of the mother is involved. THAT argument doesn't work.

    Okay, you want a logical, intelligent response? Here you go. You will very rarely find an instance where beating a child will save the mother's life. Some women who become pregnant develop health problems to the ppint that giving birth would literally kill them.

    Retarded analogies that a way ------------------------>

    Maybe they should have a place where it's ok for adults to rape children, oh they do it's called the Roman church

    How is answering your post stalking? Get over yourself

    Don't like responses, don't ask questions

    I was never answering you was I? Hardly a comparable situation and you openly admitted that my answer was no different from others that were given, meaning that your motivation with answering my post was your obsession with me personally, there can be no other motive. I think that your weired behaviour is no joke, in fact it is often very sick

    NO. WHAT THE ACTUAL ****. Now why would we legalize child beating? So douches can beat their children and not get in trouble? The ****? No. No. No. If we set up places for parents to beat children, I will personally put a gun up to my ******* head and shoot because that would be less painful than living in this world
