One of my "friends" on FB posted the following image and message.

She has since been removed from my "Friends" list. My original plan in joining the GB was to avoid any sort of political discussion. However, her post shook me to the core, and as I said, my knee-jerk reaction was to send her packing from my little FB world. I'm a little less angry now, and I would like to think that I am capable of acknowledging that not everyone is going to share my opinions on the abortion issue. I am firm in my own beliefs, but feel a little guilty for shutting her out just because I disagree with her. That's not the kind of person I want to be. So this thread and any debate that it may evoke is my way of making up for my own narrow-mindedness.

What are your opinions on the following sentiments?



I think this should be on the door for every abortion and health clinic! Maybe the girls would think twice before makign their decision to abort or having sex in the first place!
Say No To Abortion......Save Life.....

my POV, and that of a few others.

 

[bronzeage]

I understand the feelings of people who oppose abortion, but this kind of tactic does nothing to prevent abortions. It only inflicts pain and anguish upon women who made the decision. At the core of the issue is a cruel vengeance, not love and caring for the unborn.

everyone has the right to a POV.
it's whether or not you have the right to inflict it on others that is the issue.

Argumentum ad misericordiam. Appeal to emotions. It's a fallacious argument, and it's chockablock with factual inaccuracies.

His logical fallacy in stating that, is that by stating it he is expressing his opinion on the issue.

No child should be forced into the world

A Christian viewpoint should be to help the mother and child. But the same people who would force a woman to have the child are the very ones who oppose any help for her to raise that child.

Maybe if you have a safety net to support the children, you might be able to justify forcing women to have unwanted children, for the children's sake. But Nobody has the right to force a woman to have a child she can't afford in a world unwilling to offer help.

So in my opinion, the choice of doing the 'right' thing rests with all of us, not some girl with a problem pregnancy.

The Christian view is to oppose helping to raise the child? When did that happen?

 

[KRCummings]

The chain email is stupid. It's inaccurate and heavy handed and isn't going to stop anyone from doing anything. It makes people feel better about themselves, that's all.

 

[firenzi]

I would defriend anyone who had that posted on their fb, too. Anyone who finds that kind of thing deep and meaningful and a good thing to pass along is probably crazy.

People who are anti-abortion are pushing an anti-woman agenda.

 

[CandiCame]

Here's the thing- not having a uterus; no one's gonna give a flying fuck what I think- so I stay out of it. I think that men are biologically cursed to have nothing to do with our kids before they're born, and to have fight like a motherfucker to have anything to do with them after they're born. I can't even make a chick stop partying and pumping herself full of teterogens- I sure as hell have no say in her terminating the pregnancy. Talking about this subject just makes me sad.

I really don't understand that whole right wing thing about trying to make someone feel as bad as possible about something that's already gonna make you feel like shit. I would have a really hard time- if my woman had had an abortion or a miscarriage and had to go through all the psychological shit associated with it, not to track down whichever of her 'friends' posted something like this and beat the living shit out of them.

I happen to think that life starts at conception- BUT I also think that life extends to everything that has any kind of nervous system- including a nucleus. That doesn't make it 'sacred' or anything like that. I don't understand our obsession that human life is more sacred then other forms of life. I don't get people who will blow up a doctor's office and then go out and support the factory farm industry at a steakhouse- fuck, half of them probably order veal.

 

[Farrah]

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has shared their opinion so far. I'm just trying to take it all in right now...

You don't know what a nucleus is, do you?

What are your opinions on the following sentiments?

I don't believe abortions should be taking place that late into a pregnancy barring some extreme issue with the mother or the fetus. Of course, very few of them are, and I'm sure whoever originally wrote that treacle is well aware of it.

I don't expect people to be completely quiet about their political beliefs on Facebook, but that's more than a little obnoxious. Someone who made a habit of posts like that wouldn't be part of my online world.

 

[TexasWife25]

my opinion

I dont believe in late term abortions
I do believe in a womans right to choose

You don't know what a nucleus is, do you?

I fucked up- I meant the brain of a cell, not an atom. I can't remember what it's called. Damn- what the fuck is wrong with me?

A cell doesn't have a brain. It's a cell. It doesn't think or feel, it reproduces and dies and that's it. You're thinking of a nucleus but it still doesn't make sense.
