Poetic justice: as placed in opposition to those that would destroy a persons right to make their own choices.

Those who wish to stop other people from having sex and make moves towards that objective, be it through legislature or simple physical force are in my eyes every bit as bad as those who force others to have sex i.e. rapists. As far as I am concerned these to actions are essentially the same thing, it is the blatant and brutal removal of a persons freedom to choose [a thread] that runs through both actions and by that argument through any other action that seeks to takes away a persons choice on any matter relating to their body and affecting no one else’s. For instance forcing someone to continue with a pregnancy that they would wish to abort and I suppose although it is a less likely course of action forcing someone to terminate a pregnancy that they would have otherwise have kept. For rapists, be they the type that prevents or the type that forces, the crime is the same the punishment also. For a start, they should be prevented from ever having sex themselves and secondly sex should be forced on them in the same way that they would force it on others or forcibly [or otherwise] take it away from others. For those that would prevent someone’s desired course of action with relation to their pregnancy then the punishment would be on one hand to prevent the person from ever having a child of their own and at the same time through the use perhaps of electrical stimulation and mechanical apparatus the person should be forced through the pain both of pregnancy and child birth the exact number of times that there are people that they would have forced to continue with their pregnancy. For those who would force the use of a drug on someone or prevent someone from using their drug of choice, choice being an important word here, they should for a start have the drugs forced on them and secondly have any drug that they might use, be it alcohol or pain killers taken away from them. The point of al of this being to take away their choice in exactly the same way they have taken away others, the only way such justice could be circumvented is for the criminal to prove that his or her crime was the result of a chemical, societal, neurological or cultural imbalance that can be done away with by the use of therapy and/or some other course of treatment, my punishments may be harsh but I do after all believe in the idea of rehabilitation.
A persons right to make choices that only directly affect themselves is absolute, there could be many perfectly rational reasons why one would feel the need to kill someone for instance preventing someone from moving down a course of action that would directly and perhaps negatively affect you but there could never be any rational reason why one should be able to take away a persons right to choose, it is one could well imagine these right and these alone that separate civilisation from savagery.

That is very interesting -- how you were able to change the fonts.

Yes I suppose the poor dog is weirding out to say the least of someone is good at changing photos.

Either way, I have made a very important decision about the upcoming U.S. Presidential elections. I am going to vote for Queen Elizabeth.

and you're welcome gyrobo using justification alignment in conjuncture with making certain words bigger really gives something an extra oompth.

hi greg the point is to show the person exactly what they have done and exactly why its a bad thing that ultimately is the only path to rehabilitation if such a thing is possible, as for the obortion issue well i'm affraid that it is about choice you must remember that viruses allso are a living organism and the only difference between them and a fetus is that the fetus can grow and grow and eventually live without its host where as the virus cannot but apart from that they are pretty much just the same as in they both are acting in a parasitic manner. the thing you have to remember about pregnancy is that it can be very distubingly painful to go through and i happen to think that any organism that has to put another organism through that only has the right to live if it has the concent of the organism that it is putting through that.
