Pro-Choice folks, what are your reasons for supporting abortion?

[carjack]

Doesn’t sound like something a pro-lifer would say.

I don’t have to be graphic to protest. I am a civilzed human being. The images are inappropriate. Sounds like pictures are your only method of protesting.

 

[MIZER]

Fitswimmer who are you addressing? Please give us the quote? Are you talking to me?

Ok, let me get this straight. Someone suggests that maybe it’s not the best idea to shove pictures of aborted babies in the faces of preschoolers and now they’re pro-abortion???

How black and white is the planet you live on anyway??

 

[mapleoak]

You don’t say! What is the name of the defendant in the case? I would like to follow this. I agree that no one should assault another by “shoving graphic photos in their face.” If this can be proven to have happened your community may have a case. So if this is true then it is now a matter of public record. Tell us the name of the community or the name of the defendant so we can follow the results.

I would be very curious to follow this as well.

Nobody says you have to. In the same way you shouldn’t try to tell others what they can do. Suing them no less.

The images are inappropriate.

No, they are very appropriate. The illustrate the reality of what abortion is to educate those who are ignorant.

Sounds like pictures are your only method of protesting.

Nope. Just one of the many tools in the pro-life aresenal, and a highly effective one at that. Of course I already said that though.

I went to the website it is disgusting like the methods you are using. What are you not getting??!?!?!

I’m wasn’t getting that you are pro-abort. I’m getting that now. Pardon me. If you truely went to the web-site and studied it for it’s content and you come back here and say that what you READ, was disgusting, then you must be pro-abort. I find the pro-abort mindset disgusting. And sick.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck…

 

[MIZER]

Uh-huh.

For those who have any doubt in seeing a horse for a horse

Thanks mapleoak, for confirming my suspicion. Carjack is pro-abort, no wonder he objects to the pictures. It’s like throwing holy water on satan himself.

You’ve all decided that Carjack is Pro-abortion because he/she objects to the choice of using graphic images in protests.

I’m missing how A leads to B here…

I AM PRO-LIFE!!! I SAW A GRAPHIC PIC OF A WOMAN GETTING AN ABORTION OF THAT SITE. So go ahead and be disgusted at the pro-abort mindset.

I AM PRO-LIFE. How dare you compare me to Satan, you sinner!! (we are all sinners by the way)

carjact proclaims:

I am a prolifer.

No pro-lifer who takes the time to study the web-site would come back here and pro-claim it disgusting. Anyone with a conscience is moved by the GAP display. So either carjack is not pro-life or he has no conscience. We each get to choose. We have our rights.

They are EXTREMISTS. Not Peaceful Protesters. They are no better than Terrorists.

Don’t make assumptions about me, you terrorist.

SFTor, posts this:

You are failing to recognize that the media have hidden the truth of abortion from the public for years. They will not cover the story when a woman dies on the table they will not cover any story regarding pro-life word they essentially ignore abortion. I guarentee you if there were pictures of slaughtered iraqi children and if they thought the killing of them could be pinned on our soldiers then we would be seeing them. PETA has a great big voice and the pictures of mangled traffic deaths are shown to highschool kids every spring before prom.

So to answer your question, yes. I am for the public display of any pictures that might educate the ignorant and save lives.

PETA is rarely seen, as a matter of fact, and showing something to high school children and putting it on billboards along the highway is NOT THE SAME THING. I worked in television when anti-abortionists started showing the silent scream. We even showed clips of it on air. I simply find the idea of plastering the public space with images of shock and gore completely at odds with a civil society. There are plenty of organizations that could use the tactic. It doesn’t work as social discourse, I’m sorry.

I’m still trying to figure out how someone who thinks that graphic images of aborted babies shouldn’t be shoved in the face of pre-schoolers is automatically Pro Abortion.

 

[vern_humphrey]

I’m still trying to figure out how someone who thinks that graphic images of aborted babies shouldn’t be **shoved in the face of pre-schoolers **is automatically Pro Abortion.

When were any images “shoved in the faces of pre-schoolers?”

 

[MIZER]

The doctors should be ashamed of themselves. I never said otherwise. People can protest without being EXTREME.

Carjack,

Come on. We are not stupid. It is only your (pro-abort) opinion that using the pictures are exteme. Abortion pn demand is extreme. Showing the pictures is not.

Abortion is an extreme and evil fix to a problem that could easily be solved without killing someone.

If I had my way, and I admit to being an extremist when it comes to defending the lives of the unborn, woman who are planning on aborting their child should be forced not only to look at pictures but they should be forced to witness the proceedure itself (seen on the video clip as soon as you open the web-site) three days (the legal cooling off period when making a major purchase in this country) before her scheduled appointment. Now how would you describe that, if you would describe the appropriate use of the pictures "extreme?

 

[SFTor]

I am posting this one more time, as I never got a response the first time. It regards Numbers 5:11–31.

As far as I can tell it prescribes a forced abortion should a woman have become pregnant through adultery.

These are verses 26-28 as found on the International Bible Society’s website:

“The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial [c] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.”

What is the understanding on this forum of this passage in the Old Testament?

I AM NOT PRO-ABORTION. I AM PRO-LIFE AND YOU ARE EXTREMELY IGNORANT AND STUPID IF YOU THINK THAT I AM PRO-ABORT. I KNOW WHAT ABORTION IS AND SHOWING GRAPHIC PICS ARE EXTREME. WE ARE CIVILIZED SOCIETY WE DO NOT NEED TO SEE GRAPHIC PICS FOR A POINT TO BE MADE. STOP COMMITING LIBEL ABOUT MY VIEWS ON ABORTION. THANK YOU.
