You’re going the wrong way. Instead of killing thousands of people being that easy, for them it’s that hard. Seriously, try and think outside your own viewpoint, mmkay? For you it is easy to kill a fetus or embryo; for them it is not. Your analogy is flawed.
So you were lying when you said a woman is valued as “less than a rat”. Were you also lying about them being valued “less than a dog”?
Please; they just want to use the fetus as a weapon to punish the woman, and as a victim once it’s born.
What are you babbling about ? They don’t care about rats; they hate women; that’s what “misogynist” means.
It’s really very simple.
First you said that, in this viewpoint, women are valued as less than a rat.
When asked by Malacandra if this means such people would kill a woman to save a rat, your answer was that, no, they wouldn’t, because they don’t care about rats. Which means that women are valued more highly than rats.
That’s, like, the opposite of babbling; it’s quite straightforward. In the same vein, I’ll now ask you whether such people would kill a woman to save a dog.
Well, let’s see; my explanation has the backing of logic. Your explanation resorts to an dislike based on emotions. I’m happy to leave it at that.
As I just said, that’s only true if I thought they had a positive values for women; they don’t.
Of course; they want women to die because they are women.
Cite? Find me someone who, though against abortion, would kill a woman to save a dog. (In my experience, most such folks will even go so far as to say that abortion is permissible to save the life of the mother – but never mind that now; find me all these people who you claim would kill women to save dogs, but not dogs to save women.)
I already mentioned the Mexico City Policy; that’s killed quite a few women, and saved no one at all. I’m sure they’d throw in a dog or two.
Or not; the dog thing is a red herring, and you know it. The point is that the anti-abortion movement is about hostility to women and children; not “saving babies” or anything else.
The dog thing is a red herring that you brought up.
Here, watch, I’ll now bring something up. You may remember what I was just saying about folks who are opposed to abortion except when necessary to save the life of the mother; how does that fit into your categorizations? These are people who say that the woman is more important than the unborn child; if one of them has to die, then, yes, they’d rather it was the unborn child. But they also say that, otherwise, the woman has to carry the baby to term otherwise. They value the life of the woman over the life of the baby, but not the freedom of the woman over the freedom of the baby. Explain.
Easy; I don’t believe them. They know that most people here won’t put up with condemning American women to death, so they lie and say it’s OK to get an abortion to save her life. If they could, they’d chain every pregnant woman to a bed to make sure she didn’t get an abortion, and if she died they’d gloat over the corpse.
Could you kindly give us a cite that shows how many american women die as a result of pregnancy and how that corrolates to the number of abortions performed. If you’re going to argue this line of, I hesitate to call it reasoning, thought please give us something to back it up.
Did you actually read the page I cited? Or you just ‘safely dismissed it as biased’ ? I actually provided some evidence. Where is yours? Obviously I know that cite is biased. You seem to be under the mistaken belief that I am catholic. I am not.
I ask again. Where is your evidence?
I believe this may be a better venue for continued discussion.
I read the home page, saw it was a Catholic apologist site, and dismissed it.
Many millions of dollars worth of successful lawsuits.
I said that the public wouldn’t stand for American women dying; that’s what they aren’t. I’m not going to provide a cite for something I didn’t say.
Sorry; I don’t bother to attend my own bashings. It accomplishes nothing.
Virtually every thread you participate in ends up with as one of your bashings. You may as well go to the Pit and try to learn something from it this time.
Der Trihs, please provide evidence of any anti-abortion activists who killed a woman to save a dog.
Or, perhaps you could rephrase your obviously stupid and ill-considered rant earlier.
Or, shut up when the grownups are talking.
Or you could stop whining about a rhetorical device and argue about what I was and am saying; that most anti-abortion activists hate women. Plus, personal insults aren’t allowed here.
You have yet to demonstrate that any, let alone most people who are opposed to abortion hate women.
I didn’t insult you, I said your rant was obviously stupid and ill-considered.
And claiming that anti-abortion activists would kill a woman to save a dog is, well, obviously stupid and ill-considered.
Yeah, NOW it’s a rhetorical device. Next time I make an obviously stupid and ill-considered statment, that’s the excuse I’m gonna pull out. Rhetorical device. Yep, gonna totally go with that.
