Posting on an internet forum and having an opinion is not exactly defense of human life. YMMV
2nded.
Oh give me an fing break…I will continue to defend human life. Bullying does not work with me. I am not a kid anymore and this is not a playground.
So what are you doing here then. Go out an escort some baby killers to the nearest clinic.
Bullying? That’s a joke right? You post on a public forum and someone posts an opinion you don’t like and they’re bullying you? That’s silly.
You have not been bullied. You have stated your opinion, and called people names. Other people have stated their opinions, but I don’t believe that anyone’s called you names…yet. I don’t feel like reading the entire thread again. You have been treated exactly as you have treated others. If anything, people have been nicer to you (because you’re new) than you have to them.
However, I do expect that you will get your very own Pit thread in a short time. That STILL won’t be bullying.
I’m so glad you didn’t say you were morally superior :rolleyes:
It seems clear you have nothing to offer on this topic except your enjoyment of playing the victim that mean ole pro choice people are picking on. I’ve tried to engage you respectfully with an honest difference of opinion. Stay classy and keep calling people names.
It does matter when the person thinks an embryo/fetus is a person. It changes the debate entirely. There may be a legitimate debate on whether the person in the womb has more right to be born than the person carrying it. They would at least have some moral ground to stand on. (Although it’d still be a complex debate, IMO.)
However, a belief that an embryo is a person is not based on reality. In this case, a woman’s right to her body has now been hijacked by people’s superstitions (unless you agree with Der Trihs’s argument that it’s simply misogyny). This, like the evolution ‘debate’, should be unacceptable. There should be no debate at all. Yet, it gets more and more traction as the anti-choice people become louder and louder and women’s rights are taken away one by one.
At what point do we put our foot down and say that a certain belief system is harmful? How much longer do we have to worry about being ‘unhelpful’? And what is helpful? Again, it is absolutely necessary to understand where this kind of belief system comes from because for people who want to take away women’s (and men’s for that matter) rights, it’s a very harmful belief. If we know where it’s coming from, maybe we can address it properly. Personally, I don’t think this belief is sustainable without constant religious propaganda.
This thread is about picketers at a Planned Parenthood clinic (which you should know, does much more than offer abortions), and how obnoxious they can be when they are nasty to the women entering, especially when the vast majority of them are availing themselves of other services.
If you don’t want to talk about the ACTUAL DISCUSSION taking place, then you do have the option of refraining from posting.
And incidentally, when you say to cosmodan,
… do you think that you are being respectful of other people’s moral choices? Or are you stating that your own personal moral choice is the only correct one?
Yeah, apparently you’ve read EVERY discussion about the spurious ‘choice for men’ argument that certain men like to put forward, and because you use condoms that means…what, exactly? That because you do so, you’re the example that other men emulate? Whatever, dude, go whine about screeds and shit and read a few more sites than this one and Maxim.
No you have not been respectful to me so I have no obligation to be respectful to you. You said you want to escort people to have their babies killed and I told you to go ahead. If that is not supporting choice I do not know what is. Go ahead and roll your eye as many times as you want.
I am not the only one who has gone off topic on this thread ya know:rolleyes:
I have called people names. Can you really say that with a staight face:confused: I love your threats too…very classy.
Yeah, when you call people murderers, say they’re baby killers, and should just keep their legs closed, you’re not being respectful. You’re basically telling lies about people in the first two instances and being a judgmental shit in he last case—and a sexist one as well. And women can indeed be sexist against other women, which is what you’re doing by repeatedly implying that women who have abortions are sluts who could just avoid abortion if they weren’t sluts. So why after that kind of crap do you think you deserve any respect?
Are you using some definition of “classy” that we might not know of?
Cite??
I think her definition of “lady” is also a bit off…
I never called anyone a slut.
whatever:rolleyes: Attack the person instead of the argument.
Stop being so czarcastic.
