So Deejay, do you personally know these women who seek abortions?
used to, cut them out of my life afterwards
Your intolerance against those who do not measure up to your ideals is duly noted. What was it Jesus said... Oh yeah: MATT 25:
43 I was homeless and you gave me no bed,
I was shivering and you gave me no clothes,
Sick and in prison, and you never visited.'
44 "Then those "goats' are going to say, "Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or homeless or shivering or sick or in prison and didn't help?'
45 "He will answer them, "I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you failed to do one of these things to someone who was being overlooked or ignored, that was me--you failed to do it to me.'
46 "Then those "goats' will be herded to their eternal doom, but the "sheep' to their eternal reward."
So that's of course what happens to the intolerant self-righteous.
Many, like Steen pointed out, had their contraception fail.
too bad. women have dealt with it for centuries
just like they dealt with cholera and dysentery from dirty water, lethal infections from cuts, and dying from gangrene. Yes, to bad that all these medical treatment for unwanted conditions are available. What a horrible thing that happened to us with medical treatments for unwanted conditions becoming available.
this abomination is just a recent "advance' in science
Your objection to modern medicine is duly noted. Do you deny your kids antibiotics?
Ah, an oxymoron. revisionist linguistic hyperbole. Yes, you have spewed that before with no regard to reality of facts, just like you are now.
I know the women whose husbands are strict catholics and forbid their wives any contraceptive use and are wallowing in near poverty with four other mouths to feed.
well they knew that when they got married
if they didnt they are fools and should suffer their folly[/quote]Ah, so people who make mistakes should be made to suffer for their mistakes. How kind of you. You smoked? To bad, I will deny you treatment for your lung cancer because you knew the risk. THAT is the kind of lack of compassion you are advocating here, isn't it!
I could go on and on. Anyone who sees a woman who seeks abortions will tell you that the majority have thought long and hard and did not make the decision callously.[/quote]
if that were the case the overwhelming majority of abortions would not be used as contraception
there are many alternatives[/quote]"many"? Anyway, as I have shown data previously, most abortions are after the couple DID use contraception. So your claim, as I am sure nobody are surprised over any more, is outright false.
As antiabortionists, we should be tackeling the underlying problem, not painting false pictures and statistics. we need to address accessable contraceptive, objective sex ed, good perinatal care and supporting medicaid which provides the majority of perinatal care for the economically disadvantaged who have the most to gain by aborting, think of some kind of way to subsidize childcare so women who don't have the support of a husband do not abort out of financial desperation etc.
Women have no right to unilaterally decide what was created by two people
They have the right to control their own bodies no mater HOW much you would like to control them.
women were oppressed. Deal with it
Ah yes. By all means don’t do anything Christian like fight the oppression. That would just be wrong because then you can't oppress, control and punish them. THEN what would you plan on those long winter evenings?
their pursuit of total freedom should not enable ignorants to become murderers
And it doesn't.
as far as all the rest, it is up to the parents to instill the values they deem important in their children
Ah, now ignorance is a family value?
it is not to be subverted by the government because they 'know' how to raise our children better than us
Yes, damn the Government and their facts. better dump your own fantasies and lies on them so they are set up to fail the moment they hit the real world, right?
and if they are unable to raise the children they have, or will have, maybe they should just die off
you have heard of 'survival of the fittest'?
Well, I guess we could let the fundie, hate mongering misogynists die off?
Oh, silly me, rather the hatemongering misogynist fundies are doing their best to let the rest of us die:

But I am pleased that you accept the Science of Evolution. There are a couple of treads in the education forum that could use your input
