[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have turned pro-life. [b]Everyone has dignity that is distinctly theirs[/b], including an unborn human. As mothers, it is our duty to help maintain this dignity. It is not our choice to allow this dignity or not. I am for responsibility. Take charge of your body and choices and don't procreate if you don't have the means to take care of it. [/quote] Can you expand on this? Because this is basically meaningless word salad. Can you further elaborate on why you do think abortion is [i]not[/i] taking "responsibility" once someone has determined that they don't have the means to care for a child? [/quote] Word salad? Sure, whatever makes you feel better. Definition: Dignity 1.the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect[/quote] Why would your incoherency make me feel better? This sentence: "Everyone has dignity that is distinctly theirs." is not an argument. It doesn't even make sense, let alone mean anything. So a morula has "the quality of being worthy of honor or respect," more so than a woman with 26 years in the rear view? Because anti-choicers who vote anti-choice, to a tee, think wimmen are just too gosh darn stupid and fickle to be trusted with this decision. Or murderous sluts with blood lust. Or confused by the Feminazi propaganda that says wimmen don't [i]just[/i] have to have kids and stay home with them. But toss that word salad! Main ingredient? Bitter leaves of internalized misogyny.[/quote] So let me get this straight, because I think an unborn child has dignity I am incoherent, misogynistic, and think women are stupid, slutty, and need to be repressed. So far from the truth its laughable. But we all know arguing on the internet gets you no where so I won't even bother typing the truth, you go ahead and keep thinking that so you can put "pro-lifers" in that box and put yourself on your moral pedestal.[/quote] Dignity, eh? Not the PP you are responding to but it's been clearly evident that in your zeal to "treat the unborn with dignity" the pro-lifers have demonstrated again and again their desire to strip women of their dignity, with all of the hoops they expect women to jump through. How about we treat gun buyers with the same "dignity" with which we treat women who are trying to make that difficult decision... How about this analogy which is making the rounds: [quote]How about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion — mandatory 48-hr waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he's about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence, an ultrasound wand up the ass (just because). Let's close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, people who call him a murderer and beg him not to buy a gun.[/quote] [/quote] NP and very pro-life. I have absolutely no problem with any of the above. Purchasing a gun should be much, much more difficult than it currently is. I personally have asked (not begged) people I know not to buy guns. In fact, I think all of this is a great idea.[/quote] OK, then, how about reproductive rights shows where all of those regulations are off limits? Obviously you've never had an invasive ultrasound.[/quote]
