You are forever talking about what you know is right for women, what women want, and what they really need. You’ve even told clinic staff, doctors and nurses that you know they could do better in another line or work. With your particularized notion of moral righteousness, you’ve lodged complaints with police about what you know are your rights to free speech at abortion clinics. You’ve written letters to private citizens, neighbors of doctors and clinic directors, asking them to tell these professionals to find a new job, because you know better, you know what’s right. But your self-obsession as well as your presumptuous omniscience conveniently ignores the rights of others and summarily dismisses the knowledge women have of their own lives. Behaving, as you are wont to do, foolishly believing you are right when you are really wrong on so many levels, you reveal more truths about your nature than you might imagine or want. Let me spell it out for you.
- To begin, it’s not right when you call escorts, staff, and doctors murderers because they don’t murder anyone. The carnivalesque act of calling someone a murderer is convenient because it frees you from thinking about the sacredness of women and men who offer and choose abortion services.
- It’s not right when you use grotesque images that defy the reality of abortion. Aborted fetuses look remarkably different from all the manipulated grotesque images you use in your visual propaganda. Using such images only serves to shame, hurt and demonize women and, consequently, alienate them to your message.
- It’s not right to say that All Women Regret Their Abortion. Documented scholarly evidence illustrates that overwhelmingly women have no regrets about their abortion. Not one bit. People make choices and live with them. It’s called life. Some women have sadness about their choice to end their pregnancy, but choose abortion anyway because they know it’s right for their situation. Your bombastic overgeneralization only makes you look ignorant and desperate.
-
It’s not right to scream at women we’re here to help you. Take a good look at yourself. You’re a stranger who is screaming. What reasonable person would want to trust you or anything you say? It makes you look doubly foolish and deceitful when you follow with the disingenuous high-pitched scream God loves and so do we and, immediately afterward, shout, you’ll regret this day the rest of your life. Again, take a good look at yourself for you are nothing but a vacuous and mean-spirited provocateur.
- It’s not right to publicize your own sexual fears and perversions. Telling women that the doctor will perforate their rectum and uterus illustrates your own salacious fascination with debauchery. Telling well-endowed women with cleavage, “You look like you’re all set up for breastfeeding” reduces you to a common pervert. Telling women to abstain from sex reveals your prudish anxiety about human sexuality. In your ill-conceived attempts to lie about body parts and sexual matters, you embarrass yourself in a most undignified way, earning a big fat 10 on the Ick Factor Scale.
- It’s not right to lie. Remember thou shalt not lie? Until you have an M.D. after your name, you should rely on reputable medical and scientific sources and not junk science in LifeSiteNews. The evidence is there for you to read. Let’s face it. You rely on the scientific and medical credibility of pediatricians, cardiologists, dermatologists and internists. Yet you throw out medical and scientific evidence when a gravid uterus is involved. Here’s the evidence: There is no post abortion stress disorder. There is no abortion-breast cancer link. There is evidence that the morbidity and mortality in pregnancy and childbirth can be more dangerous than abortion. It’s also a fact that the United States is 50th in the world for maternal health. Such transgressions illustrate the disturbed fascination with fear mongering that is your lingua franca.
- It’s not right to inflict your religion on others. Humiliating and dehumanizing women is morally unacceptable. Manipulating your faith to justify your heinous actions displaces your responsibility onto your God. Like the Nazi war criminals that claimed they were only following orders, you antiabortion protesters claim you are doing God’s will. Barking like a madman “in the name of Jesus” as preface to a hurl of toxicity hardly seems godly. Face it; your morally bankrupt behavior only serves to show how unchristian and blindly intolerant you are towards others.
When I think about the pornography of your madness, your frothing, detailed rendering of humiliation of women and men who choose and provide abortion services, I have to say that the unintended consequences of your own behaviors illustrate how karma works. In plain English, you get what you give. And what you give is intolerance, disdain for truth, misogyny, desperation, alienation, and misanthropy.

Yet, nastiness is what antiabortion protesters dish out to women who are already devastated, already deeply grief-stricken by their PERSONAL situation.

The “baby” does NOT have its own mind! There is a YouTube video out that shows seconds-long glimpses of a baby week by week until a year old– it is quite clear that in the first four months, it was in what a pediatric nurse friend of mine calls “the hamburger stage,” an organism well below a level of even near-human function. It is the mother who gives the baby a human life, half the time with the father helping out to do so. Don’t let the so-called “pro-lifers” kid you into thinking that a fetus is any closer to being a human than that! They’ll play you for a fool if you let them.
Remember, the so-called “pro-life” movement is not about rescuing the “unborn,” but about dealing with their own fears of death. Read Ernest Becker’s “Denial of Death” to see why they want to be heroes for the unborn.

Also, the Supreme Court argument focuses on the most banal of culture war issues, while both the left and right factions of the court have a consensus on tolerating the expansion of government power, government privileges, narrowing the 4th and 10th amendments and otherwise turning Americans into serfs.

You don’t. That’s misogyny, and PRECLUDES caring about women. Oops.
You don’t care that women are actual, living, breathing people who deserve full rights. If we cared about you, that would be like saying you could be tolerant if you tolerate intolerance. You can’t. Oops.
There’s a reason why Pro-Lifers claim that Pro-Choice only cares about choice when the choice is abortion. And the blame rests squarely on THEIR shoulders. They are not fighting to make pregnancy illegal. They are only fighting to make abortion illegal. Most of our time and energy and resources would NOT be spent on the battle that is already won. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clearly irrational.
Btw, my mother is Pro-CHOICE. And, yes, she had an abortion after me but before she had my brother. So, WHO is it that only cares about one ‘choice’, again?
Finally, the very fact that you are claiming we dehumanize fetuses, shows that you really do NOT care about women. After all, you CLEARLY demonstrate that you do NOT understand the Pro-Choice position, AT ALL. By doing so, you disclose the Pro-‘Life’ belief that women’s wants, dreams, desires, wishes, needs, hopes, etc are entirely irrelevant, especially since you uphold the mere POTENTIAL for such in the FETUS. If not, you WOULD consider that this is about MORE than just dehumanizing fetuses. You WOULD realize that there are TWO human parties involved during pregnancy. You WOULD understand how the human HOST is affected by pregnancy. And you WOULD account for MORE than just factors that affect the FETUS.

They actively choose to protest outside abortion clinics, using their own free will, but will claim they’re being persecuted (oh, for goodness sakes, get off the cross). They see the fetus as a victim and identify with it. It’s all a socially constructed reality in the prolife universe. Their religion further reinforces their reality.

Bullshit.
You’re anti-rights of women. Or more succinctlyanti-woman. Women are people, not exclusively incubators for the unborn. When you say stuff like that you are saying that women should be treated less than fully human – and that is a crappy position to hold.
Smells like Bullshite again. As I write this response to your female bashing some 21 children just died. 29,000 this year. The kicker? They died mostly from preventable causes. I have yet to see one anti-choice person bemoan this very real problem of actual born children dying at a horrendous pace. Dying because of *preventable* causes.
What I do see is endless faffing about the unborn and the rampant “genocide” that abortion purportedly is.
So, I conclude, that you’re not all about every life is precious, otherwise we’d have the entire anti-choice brigade’s smoke and fire all over those preventable deaths (oh, there’s another 21 dead children btw). But you know what we hear?
F*cking crickets.
No, what we do hear is how women need to be prevented from having abortions. We hear victim blaming like, “Well, if you don’t want to get pregnant, don’t open your legs.”. Like coitus somehow magically removes a woman’s bodily autonomy (not to mention how sex is *never* coerced).
Women are not just wombs, as much as you’d like to reduce them to chattel-riffic incubator status. Women are beings with inherent rights and bodily autonomy that becoming pregnant does not negate.
Thus, if a woman decides that she wishes to terminate a pregnancy, it is well within her purview as rights bearing member of society. To argue against this, is to argue against women being considered fully human.

also there are studies like this
“Numerous studies seem to indicate that the unborn prefer classical music. Play Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons for your child and pay attention to her movements. Does she quieten down during adagio sections and speed up for the allegro portions? You may have a budding conductor in your womb. ”
and by the way I said I dont care about personal opinions, its not personal, Im just looking for the truth Im not in either side really, but just seems wrong to do it without any study or knowledge, show me facts and I will be happy to read it.

Anonymous,
If you want to be pragmatic,
Please explain the alternative to allowing women the freedom to exercise their civil liberties and reproductive freedom.
If you believe they should be constrained, please propose legislation, including punishments that would achieve that goal.
If you can’t then you do not have a pragmatic solution to your concerns about abortion.
We live in a country ruled by law. What do you suggest be the law?

Want to share this video for its fresh and smart response to abortion, as just one choice among many.

i think this video helps to show that all of us, whether we realize it or not knows someone who has had an abortion.
maybe it is the nice lady at the grocery store, or that loving mama that we met at the park.
i also think it is incredibly courageous of these women to say that they have had an abortion, knowing that so many people are all too ready to cast stones at them.

I’m not here to fight, but I do have questions out of curiosity, I am not here to judge anyone or their views. I hear women say my body my choice does that mean the tiny body inside of them should have a choice? I also hear it’s just a group of cells, at what point does it cease being a group of cells and become an infant? And what would be so terrible with just going through with the pregnancy an giving the baby up for adoption? Where can someone find unbiased information on abortion? Again I’m not trying to say who’s right an who’s wrong I am Trying to figure out where I stand.

It seems that you have already made up your mind on this issue when you ask “what would be so terrible with just going through with the pregnancy an giving the baby up for adoption?” I’d ask what would be so terrible to expect a woman to know for herself that she does not want to be pregnant? What would be so terrible to simply accept that women know their life situations better than outsiders? What would be so terrible to ask you to learn about the dangers of pregnancy, the psychological risks to woman and child in adoption?
I’m not clear what you call unbiased information. What standards are you willing to accept such that you can deem it unbiased? Scientific, medical standards or faith-based standards?

Adoption is not an alternative to pregnancy – adoption is an alternative to parenting.
