Why don't you make a bet with yourself and see if you can make one post in which you don't accuse others of being dishonest or lying? And then double it if you can actually post without that "royal we" mouse in your pocket.

Yeah, it's amazing. The same pro-life people who object to having their positions misrepresented, who object to being called "misogynists", "sexists", et al. freely misrepresent the position of pro-choice people.

Dishonesty is a pretty common thing in political debates. And, if you have a problem with it, might I suggest not dishonestly accusing pro-choice people of "rationalizing" things that we have not rationalized?

If you aren't rationalizing your position then...:shock:

You don't need a degree in psychology to know that late-term abortions are sick.

I didn't pay much attention to it. I certainly don't recall anything about women waiting until 8 months and 3 weeks gestation to abort 'willy nilly'.

You're right; you didn't pay much attention. At all. Gosnell even joked about one healthy baby--can't remember, but maybe "Baby C"--that he was so big and healthy that he could walk himself to the bus stop.

Sorry that you are unable to distinguish between an opinion and an accusation. Oh, and then saying that the accusation is dishonest? Really, unknot your knickers please and allow others to have their opinions.

I would rather be a sexist pig then even think of supporting your position. :shrug:

At the end of the day you support denying humanity to the youngest of the species and the worst you can call me is a sexist. Meh, I'm fine with that.

Yes, and depraved. And in Gosnell's case, if the abortion didn't work and the baby was born alive, he just finished the job with scissors.

Sorry but I must respectfully disagree. At some point that "growth" actually becomes a human being because it is not only a collection of cells developing form, it has all the higher functions that allow for both thought and feeling.

When THAT point is reached, then even I, a firm supporter of Pro-Choice, would consider an abortion "murder."

So, you don't care about the woman's wishes and her right to security of the person and for you, it's all about if the zef has 'higher functions'. Got it.

How can anyone say THAT should be legal?

Because it happens in those unregulated, unwatched, hidden-in-plain-sight Gosnell clinics.

Like the D.C. clinic whose activities were exposed during the Gosnell trial. Like the Houston doctor under investigation for similar practices.

translation: you have no links supporting your false claims. Thanks WE already knew that.

maybe in your NEXT post will actually back up your false claim and provide an example or simply show some integrity and it will admit your post was factually wrong. Cant wait to see.

exactly, when a post is made and mentions facts and then others challenge this false claim and no facts can be provided to support the post in question and then they repeat it that's dishonesty.

just the way it is, maybe examples will be provided later?
 
I would still appreciate an honest, non-condescending response to my original question involving your original post.

It's all about rationalization. Once you convince yourself that the unborn are not human and, better, that they are parasitic marauders intent on sexual assault, it's pretty easy. Cloak extermination in terms of "women's health," tell yourself that anybody concerned about the right to life of the unborn doesn't care about women's rights or is a misogynist, and there you are.

In the above post, you refer to pro-choice beliefs (or, more accurately, your interpretation of such beliefs) as "rationalizations". Why do you insist on calling people's genuine beliefs "rationalizations"? Why do you assume that pro-choice people are "rationalizing" something rather than just expressing genuine beliefs?
 
It's a rationalization to state that the unborn are not human. I don't know how I can make this any more clear.
