This is where the anti-abortion folks truly puzzle me. If you truly believe abortion is the murder of a baby, why on earth would you not work as hard as possible to get contraception into the hands of every sexually-active person in America? It’s going to be infinitely more effective than trying to shame the already-pregnant, yet pro-choice people (who don’t feel abortion is murder) are far more likely to promote birth control than pro-life people (who do). Why?
Yes. And?
Is anyone else getting the impression that ‘classyladyhp’ is a) not female b) still in high school?
No; fully grown humans are intelligent creatures, not just a mindless glob of cells. And it is the mind that is the reason we have rights in the first place; mindless meat is just meat.
Thanks again. Keep insulting me it only serves to make you look the same way you accused me of looking:dubious:
I for one am happy to be intelligent enough to be able to express my opinions without resulting to personal attacks.
If a fully grown human grabs you, hooks a tube to your arm and starts drinking your blood, the law recognizes your right to kill that person in self-defense. Abortion is no different.
Goodness, I can’t quite see where I said it never happens. Hmmmm… nope, never said that.
I merely was amazed that you seemed to have the ability to know what motivates people you have never met except when you were trying to push your morals on them from the sidewalk.
But I’m sure you mean well. Bless your heart.
Congratulations!
Of course, the entire human race should be grateful for mothers.
Abortion is totally different from the scenario you just described. The unborn baby did not attach itself to the womb BY ITSELF. A certain act had to occur on the part of it’s parents in order for it to attach itslelf. It’s not the same thing at all.
That’s about the size of it. They’re not protesting abortion, they’re judging and trying to intimidate “slutty girls”.
Because the anti-abortionists are liars. It’s all about hurting women, not the “murder” of a fetus. They don’t want contraception to be available because that helps women and it gives them one less weapon to use on women.
Erm… okay.
You suck.
Wrong on both counts. Then again I happen to be intelligent enough to be able to express my opinion without using mindless insults.
So you do support the right to an abortion in cases of rape, where the mother did not in fact make the choice to perform that “certain act”?
Terrific thanks again. According to you I suck. Your opinion means nothing to me.
It is not the baby’s fault it was conceived. There is always adoption.
Oh, please. :rolleyes: I’m not flipping off the children. That’s why I said “depending…”
<shrugs>
Apparently it does, because you keep asking me to express it. I’m not really sure what you’re getting out of this, but hey, I aim to please.
ETA: I take it all back. If you oppose abortion even in the case of rape, then your position is at least internally consistent, even if it’s still wrong.
classladyhp, Beniamino: any comment on this? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.
So you don’t support the right of a rape victim to get an abortion? And your objection to ZPGs analogy is therefore without basis?
