Oh, good grief. I don’t care about Justin_Bailey’s political leanings, and I don’t care that he personally finds the notion of an abortion fundraiser distasteful. I’m irked by the implication that abortion is objectively more private than some of the other things that were mentioned.
This is a message board. People disagree about stuff. Cope.
Obviously it’s not OBJECTIVELY anything. It’s someone’s opinion. It’s ALL someone’s opinion. Does that have to be explicitly stated in a forum called IMHO? Apparently it does. And the opinion that abortion is more private than a root canal is not a novel view. That it irks you is rather odd. I can see disagreeing with it personally, but irked? Wow. There’s no way you can wrap your head around the idea that abortion could be seen as a more private matter than a root canal by someone? I think that’s a failure of imagination on your part.
You’re the one taking issue with another poster’s view. He disagrees with you, but you’re all irked by it, so apparently it’s you who needs the directive to “cope.”
Disgusting. Abortion is immoral but if it must happen then it should be done with the greatest shame and guilt humanly possible.
Everyone in this thread is taking issue with someone’s view. And I’m not the one who’s getting bent out of shape about it - you’re the one who felt the need to call me to task (Justin_Bailey seems to be holding his own just fine). If it disturbs you that much, the mods are there to help you. :rolleyes:
I just don’t see what’s so bad about seeing an abortion as different than a root canal without stigmatizing the person. Is it wrong to see abortion as “bad”?
Huh? I’m not bent out of shape. I’m not irked. I’m not taking anyone to task. I’m arguing a point in a thread wherein we are arguing opinions. It’s an intellectual exercise for me. I am not taking issue with your view or you, though I can’t say that’s being reciprocated. I do think you need to relax. I don’t see where the mods would come into things. Now, if you can stick to discussing the points and not get personal, that would be nice.
You seem to be taking this rather personally. If you’d like to comment on something relevant to the OP, I’m not stopping you.
