If Pro-Lifers Really Believed the Unborn Were Human...

CorporateWhore

Then wouldn't they act to stop abortion more directly? In the '80s, numerous protest groups blocked the entrances to abortion clinics for instance. Even more extreme behavior has been done by others, which I do not necessarily approve of.

I've always wondered about this question, as a strongly pro-life voter.

If you saw someone who was about to be killed, and you could stop it, would you?

If you didn't, would you consider yourself a coward?

Instead of acting right then to stop the murder, would you simply vote against that behavior? Maybe down the road it will be stopped, while the killing continues...

So many pro-lifers claim to view the unborn child as a human being, just like you and I. But they don't treat it like a human being, because if they did, there'd be more people doing direct action to stop abortion.

I look at the left wing scum protesting for fairy tales and tiddlywinks at the RNC, and I think of how much more important stopping abortion is. And yet we don't do nearly as much as the anarchist nincompoops. It either shows that we're cowards or we don't really believe the unborn child is a human being worth defending.

the last sentence is the correct answer. as to the rest, there are laws against blocking access to clinics. the fetus is certainly not human enough to risk going to jail over.

why don't kids protest the high cost of college?
why don't people protest for better healthcare?
why don't people protest high gas prices?

So why don't YOU do something about it rather that just make posts on a Pearl Jam message board?

Get involved man! Don't be a coward!
Why do you reference "we"? Can't you just go do something on your own? Stand up to those nutjob baby-killing liberals!

Maybe you should put your money where your mouth is and adopt or foster a kid yourself.

Well maybe he feels so much more power in typing up words than hitting the road to make something happen. Experience it yourself you're not far away march and protest, man.

I think so too. Oh well, if that's contributing to the cause then so be it. Who am I to judge levels of involvement?

That's because a ball of cells is so pure, and so innocent (except in the eyes of a typical Christian god...you know since we all live in sin) ...how could you end the life of a non-living creature? How dare you?
Dropping a 20 ton bomb into a village of possible "evil-doers" or potential "terrorists" is completely justified. If if kills 200 innocent and kills 1 terrorist, I can sleep good at night.

what exactly would protesting high gas prices do? the government can't lower the price. (unless you want them to take away the taxes on gas)

This is just an assumption, but I honestly believe that pro-life politicians really don't want abortions outlawed. As far as spending and continued increase of government, Republicans are pretty much the same as Democrats in that aspect so abortion is one of the major issues that defines them. Without that issue how could they possible garner the support of en extremely well funded, very vocal and very well organized Christian Right. The Pro-Lifers and Republicans need their support, excuse me money, so they need abortion on the table as an issue.

As to the average citizen I can't give you a reason as to why they don't do more.

1. There is now a law against blockading clinics, which wasn't around in the '80s.

2. This past December, there was a guy here in town who didn't want his girlfriend to have an abortion so he fire-bombed the clinic. The clinic was a total loss, but all the patients still got their abortions. This kind of "direct action" doesn't stop anything.

Good points...

I always wondered why staunch pro-lifers aren't opposed to capital punishment or anti-war, which would fall under extremely later term abortion.

I have a serious problem with dropping bombs on the camel jockeys and I also oppose abortion.

If you saw that a camel jockey was about to get shot, would you try to stop it?

If pro-life people really believe unborn babies are human beings (which I do), why do we not do more to fight abortion? At least as much as the douchebag leftist protestors at the RNC.

I'm not clear on what exactly you're suggesting they do...

I think your opinion might hold a little more water if you didn't use "camel jockey" and "douche bag leftist protesters" in your posts. Those "douche bags" have just as much right to protest in front of the RNC as would you in front of an abortion clinic if you so choose.

As long as no one is fire bombing clinics or convention centers, express your opinions.
