On a scale of 1 to 5(5 being the most) how much pain is the government(local, state, or federal) allowed to force you to endure against your will?


Follow up.....

Same options....How much of a Health Risk is the government allowed to force you to take against your will?

It really depends. Are we talking physical, mental or psychological pain? Or all three?

Depends. Pain from the US Geological Survey, for example, or pain from the North Dakota Agricultural Commission, or pain from the National Institute of Standards and Technology?

These things will all be different, you know.

What does this thread have to do with abortion? :thinking

Didn't even notice the forum but now that you pointed it out I think it's obvious.
 
Fetus's can't/don't feel pain until 28th week.

Over 90% of all abortions happen before 20th week.

So yeah, seriously.
There's nothing in the OP that suggests this thread is abortion related at all.
 
He may be talking about the pain the pregnant woman will undergo?

He's referring to the pain of labor, which an abortion ban would force all pregnant women to undergo.

Our government will torture you and **** you up faster than you can say Mr. Wonka.

What country are you from?

Technically they can't do that on U.S. soil though. They have to take them to a country where that is legal in order to do it. We should stop that practice as well, but regardless on U.S. Soil that is illegal.
 
How is any of that "forced" by the government?

And against who's will?

If a woman has the ability to abort and end her suffering, but you put in place a ban that stops her then that would be you.
 
That's your guess. But who's to know without clarification from OP.

I think the real question here is why do you need to know what pain I'm referring to in order to answer the question. That is precisely the problem. In a general sense most people would say none. If someone is in pain and suffering, and trying to get out of it then it would be morally impermissible for the government to force them to endure that pain against their will.

Even if the pain and suffering is being caused by another human being the government cannot force you to endure it. This is the basis for self-defense. Your right to swing your fist in the air ends when there's a reasonable fear of it hitting my body.

I agree with how our government's conduct "should be". But when did the US Government start doing everything by the book "legal"? My point was that we don't have a pristine, ethically uncompromised government that is above committing acts that are patently unscrupulous.

This discussion is not about how things are, it is about how things "should be."
