    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    Sorry girl but you really are a bit of hypocrite. You got in that position. You can try and play nice all you want but the sooner you come to admit it, the better off you will be.

    But i actually work with someone who is over the top religious, and has gay friends. But tells me that she tries to pray them straight all the time. I don't get it /
    STFU and take your throw away sociological attitude somewhere else. A fetus is self aware, sentient and intelligent. It is murder. Comparing one to a parasite or tumor is just plain ignorant. I have one word for you if you're too stupid to not get pregnant.

    Adoption.

    You are literally going to convince NOBODY or change anyones minds on the issue, it is an issue that everyone came into with a bias, that's all there is to it.
    Hey my mind was changed, I was going with brain waves until a rational argument for fetal viability was presented.

    I do agree, you're attempting to defend your position by impositions and acting... "nice" - It won't work, it doesn't hide that you have in some cases; a very bigoted view.

    That being said, you're genuinely being forthcoming and engaging - So... you've got that going for you, which is nice. (Bill murray oooooh!)

    You realize how Adoption for kids is really really not the greatest option right? Secondly if a fetus really is self aware. What happens now? Should we criminalize miscarriage since with your logic with abortion it is considered *murder*.

    And we measure it's intelligence how? Do we give it a test, do we measure brain waves? In essence is it quantifiable?

    Does it even matter though, if it can't survive without its host and offers nothing to the host during gestation, then it is by definition a parasite. You're clearly getting angry on this subject though, I'd recommend taking a walk and coming back with a cooler head. replying with STFU is a good way to make anything you say marked as irrelevant.

    Above is just a selection of the text, but how the fuck can a judge be so biased and refuse to grant it? Let alone the language used, they decried the girl as not informed nor sufficiently able to be allowed an abortion - But they wish her to raise a child?

    That's major class A bullshit.

    Damn I can't remember anything before I was 3.

    On a side note, did you know that eskimos regularly committed infanticide as part of their culture, because they often did not have the resources to care for extra babies, so they thought it was more merciful to let them die upon being born?

    Miscarriage is typically beyond control. Most agree its the body deciding the fetus isn't viable. Abortion on the other hand IS a choice. Adoption isn't the greatest option? Gee. The option to have a full and happy life with a family who actually WANTS them or being murdered with no concern to your right to life. Throw away society. Pathetic. Lucky for you someone cared enough to allow you to live. You certainly don't deserve the gift you've been given.

    The issue is that there are people that are willing to cause a miscarriage intentionally (i.e. taking drugs or falling down) if they can't get abortions.

    And sometimes the adoption option doesn't even get realized. It's most likely that the baby would be left to die in a dumpster or back alley, only for it to go into Last Stand ala Call of Duty and survive.

    That is what it is at that stage, by definition. The only reason it's considered anything greater is because of emotional attachment and the potential to be something. Just because it might be something someday, doesn't change what it IS right now.

    The hostilty from you is fucking unnecessary. Calm down bro. Christ.

    Kindly watch your mouth, don't act so arrogant that my life is full of peaches. My Mom had a miscarriage long ago once and then had me....to a very assholeish biological father. I don't live or even know the man so while it isn't relevant. I think I more then earned the right to live but I'm not going to say who deserves to live and die.
