    Catholic Church= biggest scam going

    Apparantly you haven't passed a "Nondenomenational church" lately.

    The "Control Women" agitators were there during the Vote for Change tour. In Reading PA they were there shouting in anger and spewing venom about Pearl Jam. They hate Pearl Jam because they are "Pro Choice".

    It's a great read. Very helpful in dominating a misguided liberal in a debate.

    Pro life is a misnomer. It should be called the "Control Women's Bodies (and women) Movement". Next they will require burkas. Then we will have to worship at their churches.

    Ya, because my top priority in life is dominating your body. I really don't care about saving an innocent life from becoming another victim in a pointless genocide. Ya, just to control you. Definitely, that's it.

    I would say that "pro-life" is a misnomer because it doesn't address the real issue of the debate, which is whether a woman should have a choice regardless of someone else's opinion. I think "anti-choice" is a more appropriate name for a movement that is trying to set itself up in opposition to the pro-choice movement.
    Your use of the word "debate" is a misnomer then because what you call a debate is "hey, i'm going to frame the world according to my view."

    The real truth here is that pro-choice/pro-abortion people say the issue is the womens choice of killing what she started in her body (yeah, I'm throwing my bias in here since everyone else is).

    The anti-choice/anti-abortion people say the issue is that if the child is alive in the womb than its essentially murder. It's as much a choice as walking down the street killing people...

    And I LOVE how you want to use anti-choice but would probably scream bloody murder when someone says its not pro-choice but pro-baby murder. ;)

    ps. why is this thread still here? It has as much to do with Pearl Jam as my dogs stool. I'd be happy to post threads on that too, if you'd all like.

    So, are all abortions wrong no matter what?

    YES, Stop justifying your wrong through extreme hypotheticals. Your rare examples have dominated the debate for years. At the end of the day, you are killing innocence. This isn't a grey issue.

    here. let me post...guaranteed to be locked or moved or deleted shortly thereafter because that's what happens whenever i respond....

    anyways...
    for those who are against abortion, please humor me and convince me that you have spent some time in a children's home, a foster care facility, a juvenile detention center, anyplace where unwanted kids are housed. tell me you have sat with a child suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome or a child who has been blinded or crippled from shaken baby syndrome. tell me you willingly changed their diapers, wiped their drool, calmed their fears, stroked their cheek, and felt their incredible desire to be wanted and loved. have you done that? have you honestly and earnestly given your time and attention to kids who are already here? once you do that on a regular, consistent basis, THEN you can worry about the ones who aren't even on the planet.

    and to the pro-life men who picket and force their 5 year old daughters to hold up a sign they can't even read or understand at a rally, consider this scenario: if there was a way to implant the fetus of a woman who chooses to have an abortion in *your* abdomen and you could then carry it to term and birth it and raise it, would you line up with your hand raised ready to take on that responsibility? doubt it.

    the catholic church lost my vote long before the day they turned and looked the other way at the priests who were molesting children. there is and never will be an excuse or explanation for that. as much as they try, there is no cross big enough for them to hide behind. and don't even get me started on the 'natural family planning' they are promoting. puhleeeeze.

    pro-choice is not pro-abortion, plain and simple.
    take care of the kids that are here......
    take care of the kids that are here......
    take care of the kids that are here......


    and....for what it's worth....from the late, great george carlin:
    "Why...why...why...why...why...why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't wanna f--- in the first place? Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn; they will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that they don't wanna know about you! They don't wanna hear from you. No nothin'! No pre-natal care, no daycare, no headstart, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothin'---if you're preborn, you're fine...if you're preschool, you're f
    ! Conservatives don't give a s--- about you until you reach...Military Age! Then they think you are just fine, just what they've been lookin' for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise 'em to be dead soldiers. Pro-life..pro-life...these people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors! What kinda pro-life is that? What, they'll do anything they can to save a fetus, but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it? They're not pro-life. You know what they are? They're anti-woman. Simple as it gets: anti-woman. They don't like 'em. They don't like women. They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood-mare for the state. Pro-life...you don't see any of these white, anti-abortion women volunteering to have any black fetuses transplanted into their uteruses, do you? No, you don't see 'em adopting a whole lotta crack babies, do you? No...that might be something "Christ" would do."
    "Can I ask you a question?" (.....you just did.....)

    You claim to care about innocence but make it seem like you don't give one damn about women once they have a fetus in their bodies. Not everything is as black as white as you think it is.

    Rare examples?

    From RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network)

    "1 out of every 6 American women have been the victims of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime (14.8% completed rape; 2.8% attempted rape)"

    "17.7 million American women have been victims of attempted or completed rape."

    "Pregnancies Resulting from Rape

    In 2004-2005, 64,080 women were raped. According to medical reports, the incidence of pregnancy for one-time unprotected sexual intercourse is 5%. By applying the pregnancy rate to 64,080 women, RAINN estimates that there were 3,204 pregnancies as a result of rape during that period.

    This calculation does not account for the following factors which could lower the actual number of pregnancies:

    * Rape, as defined by the NCVS, is forced sexual intercourse. Forced sexual intercourse means vaginal, oral, or anal penetration by offender(s). This category includes incidents where the penetration is from a foreign object such as a bottle. Certain types of rape under this definition cannot cause pregnancy.
    * Some victims of rape may be utilizing birth control methods, such as the pill, which will prevent pregnancy.
    * Some rapists may wear condoms in an effort to avoid DNA detection.
    * Vicims of rape may not be able to become pregnant for medical or age-related reasons.

    This calculation does not account for the following factors which could raise the actual number of pregnancies:

    * Medical estimates of a 5% pregnancy rate are for one-time, unprotected sexual intercourse. Some victimizations may include multiple incidents of intercourse.
    * Because of methodology, NCVS does not measure the victimization of Americans age 12 or younger. Rapes of these young people could results in pregnancies not accounted for in RAINN's estimates."

    We can throw at each other propaganda numbers all day. Your hypotheticals smudge out the millions of babies that are killed, because of irresponsible people that resist to take responsibilty for their own actions. In order to protect the women who are raped (which is noble) that need thousads of abortions, you open up abortion for millions of others.

    Also, If Roe v. Wade is ever overturned (which it eventually will be) there will be exceptions for rape and incest. So you are wasting your time. Rape victims will ALWAYS have access to abortions. I don't really agree with that, but that is reality. A life is a life. (still not grey).

    There not propaganda numbers. They didn't come from an abortion website at all. They came from a website that gives detailed numbers and stats on sexual abuse in america. Numbers backed up by the US government. The only one throwing propaganda is you.

    Nobody posts numbers on a website without an agenda. The 1 in 6 number is way off. Has one every six women in your family been raped? Has one of every 6 of your friends been raped? Lets say the average rapist commits two rapes. Has 1 in every twelve guys committed a rape? It is an estimate made up by Feminazis.

    I have great sympathy for those who are raped. Don't use their suffering for your agenda.

    Man, if this is the worst thing that happens to you all day... you have a damn good life!

    I do have a damn good life. Pointing out your stupidity has made it even better.

    Believe what you will. You're so off your rocker and naive you won't be convinced otherwise anyway. Don't pay attention to the actual number that are backed up but actual data (which is a hell of a lot more than you've produce thus far, other than your ramblings about millions of babies being killed).


    By the way, my mother was sexually abused, my aunt was sexually abused, and one of my grandmothers was sexually abused. So yea, the numbers are just pulled out of thin air.

    Not to mention the huge number of women who never tell anyone they were sexually abused.

    Many women and girls don't tell anyone when they have been sexually abused...

    And women who are sexually abused GENERALLY don't tell people who call rape statistics propaganda!!!!!

    Of course you don't know people that have been sexually abused and raped.

    :confused:

    And another one who uses the word FEMINAZI?

    Keep telling yourself you're a good person because you think abortion is wrong.

    You really sound like a twisted individual.

    Best of luck. Really....

    I find this post to be extremely interesting because I've never heard of anyone trying to deny that 1 in 6 women is a victim of sexual assault. Do you have any actual data with sources to refute this?

    True - a life is a life. And we can debate at what point an embryo becomes a life. And we can debate whether it's okay to take away someone's choice to live (e.g. terrorists and prisoners).

    But what I haven't heard explained at all is why, even if it is a life, we shouldn't abort a fetus. It has no free will so we wouldn't be denying its choice. I've heard lots of talk about a fetus being innocent (as opposed to those who are guilty who, many argue, we should kill against their wishes). But saying we have no good reason to kill it still does not provide a reason to not kill it.

    Death is a part of life. Embryos die every day, by the millions. Most embryos were never meant to continue living. Everything dies. And we are party to killing much of it. How is aborting a human fetus any different? From where do people get the idea that maintaining human fetal life at all cost is the appropriate goal?

    Spoken as a true liberal I guess - there's no need for personal responsibility...

    Wow... that is such an awful statement I can't quite figure out how to respond.

    Yes, some fetuses/embryos will die from miscarriages, etc. But that's like saying since millions die from cancer we should just go around killing people.

    Only in an Obamatopia, I guess.
