Once again, “pro-choice” seems to be synonymous with someone dying…

An Internet newsgroup called called ASH, short for Alt.Suicide.Holiday, trade advice on how to commit suicide, using code words like ‘transitioning’ and ‘exiting’ and ‘catching the bus.’

An older ASH member who goes by the alias “River” is suspected in having helped a 19 year-old girl to commit suicide. He disputes this claim, saying, “No one in ASH encourages anyone else to commit suicide. ASH is pro-choice,” he wrote in an e-mail to CNN.

The father of the dead girl disagrees: “That’s not pro-choice,” Mike Gonzales said of the site. “That’s brainwashing. And they are not being held responsible.”

I hope her dad sues them and puts them out of business. How dare they take advantage of a troubled teen. Imagine if she had landed on a site to help her work out her worries instead. This is so sick. Right about now River had better get himself a good lawyer! :rolleyes:

Would be kinda tough to put a USENET group out of business. At best, you could get some ISP’s to stop carrying the group.

off to my other on-line haunt…alt.fan.cecil-adams, and then maybe rec.arts.tv
 
Pro-abortion groups who call them-selves “pro-choice” don’t believe that women should be given counselling that offers alternatives, because that puts an unnecessary burden on women who have already made up their minds.
“Advocates believe that the sort of information required by opponents to abortion, could only serve to complicate and delay the procedure and lead to avoidable distress.” Source: life.org.nz/abortionkeyissuesinformedconsent.htm

This twisted reasoning will be used if euthanasia or assisted suicide are legalised and it will inevitably apply to depressed people who are suicidal but not terminally ill.
 
If those that “preach” death truly believed what they “preached” there would be no one to “preach” death.

Most of these people (the leaders) are IMHO fakes and like to make noise. But, on the other hand, other people are brought into the groups in times of great need and believe what the “fake” tells them. IMHO the leaders have many souls to account for. God is just.
