fellis: Why not, you feminists are willing to empower women with unwanted pregnancy to travel to Europe to get an abortion but no one is willing to emphasize prevention of unwanted pregnancy and personal responsibility. fellis: He meant to say 20weeks. The Texas anti abprtion law was for abortions beyond 20th week of gestation. Una fit do am by 19th week o, still dem de vex. |
Re: We Should All Be Feminists- Chimamanda Adichie by Nobody: 3:37pm On Jul 04, 2013 |
toshmann:That's not true. Legalizing abortion does not automatically mean that women will go about sleeping with many men and stop worrying about pregnancies. Even if abortion is legalized, women will still use protection because they stand the risk of contacting STDs if they don't. Besides, abortions are risky business and can lead to a woman's death or loss of her womb. Its not like women are going to rush into doing it as soon as they get the chance just because its legal. They just want the option to be there, they want to be free to get abortions when necessary and at whatever stage of the pregnancy they want it. He meant to say 20weeks. The Texas anti abprtion law was for abortions beyond 20th week of gestationInstead of him to admit that he made a mistake he is telling me that I want to teach him gestation. I tire for that guy |

@toshmman and biolabee, you both want abortion to be illegal. what do you suppose the punishment for abortion should be? should women who perform abortion be convicted as murderers and sent to jail? they should be punished the state or by God? watch this youtube video anti-abortionists are just radical/extremist christians. not any different from radical terrorist islamist. both oppress women and use religion to justify their scapegoating of the poor (more likely to have abortions) and marginalized (women, children, gays etc)!! there is such thing as separation of church and state for a reason. if you don't support abortion. keep ur views private to yourself. next they will be calling to jail single mothers. these are the most dangerous terrorists society should be most watchful of. the ones in our midst. the extremist christians/homophobics/women-oppressors etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD97OVJ4PNw In the video below, Chomsky of course touches on the fact that women who perform abortions tend to be lower income and lack the proper access to health care and information. And that anti-abortionists should rather concern themselves with issues of high mortality, child infectious disease and health care if they are genuinely concerned about children. towards the end of this video, you see footage of an extremist "christian" proposing that anyone who says "goddamn" in public should be executed for the crime of blasphemy. he also goes on to say that gays (he calls them sodomists) and feminists should also be executed! This is a right-wing christian. your typical anti-abortionist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5RU2LqA1FQ |

99cent: This is incendiary, meaningless propaganda. Its funny that those who accuse others of "intolerance" are themselves perfect examples of bigotry. Just because someone does not agree with wanton, irresponsible murder of children who are capable of surviving outside the womb... you now label them radical extremists? Forgive me if i thought you were the same hypocritical sheeple bleating about "rights". I have a right to my opinions too without being called a bigot for it. 99cent: and the despicable, irrelevant hyperbole continues. Adults who exercise their right to protest against deliberate killing of babies are now equivalent to suicide bombers? What idiocy. 99cent: Aww... asking women to stop murdering babies = oppressing and marginalizing them? Aww the poor little doves. Why we should open up our hospitals and allow mothers to kill their 1-month babies if they dont like the size of their noses too no? The hypocrisy here is that she groups children as part of the oppressed and marginalized groups that she is fighting to uphold their rights... you know those same children who wont have gotten a chance at life if their abortion-for-all-whenever-however agenda had been law. 99cent: not every anti-abortionist is christian. That is a baseless smear. 99cent: And just exactly why do you feel only you have a right to air your view? I had no idea democracy was about muzzling the opinions of others and forcing them to speak only in private. 99cent: Again more decietful hysteria. the point isnt that she actually believes anyone will be jailing single mothers... but she needs to use this to whip up an emotional response by baselessly casting aspersions at others who have committed the crime (gasp) of daring to hold a different opinion from hers. 99cent: The true terrorists are people like you... people who, if giving the power, will absolutely seek to destroy the religious freedoms of others because they dont square with your liberal idea. Its funny how those who are in favor of wanton murder of innocent children accuse those who would rather give those kids life... terrorists. the world is truly upside down when killers call non-killers murderers. If these bunch where alive in the days of Mary Slessor, they would have hanged her in saliva-dripping unhinged hysteria for daring to oppose the natives ritual of killing twins. 99cent: One wonders why the pro-abortionists care nothing for the above either. 4 Likes |

Morning 99cent another hasty assumption from yourself as a lot of the statementsyou have made here You can ask me about my opinion on abortion I believe a foetus has life and should not be killed however i recognise a bigger crime is letting an unwanted child come into this world and due to lack of love become a criminal or a liability, so abortion should be allowed I believe men and woman should exercise birth control responsibly to avoid pregnancies in the first place I think after 5 - 6 months aborting a foetus is dangerous to the woman |
Re: We Should All Be Feminists- Chimamanda Adichie by toshmann(m): 2:22pm On Jul 05, 2013 |
99cent: @toshmman and biolabee, Even the YouTube video you put up shows that the anti abortion campaigners have hardly thought of punishing the women. ![]() All they think of is stopping the killing of yet-to-be-born-babies. Doesn't that contradict your opinion of me
If the only thing you know about terrorist Islamic extremists is oppression of women then you should start listening to real news. Terrorists kill. That's what they do. Hence, ipso facto, they have more in common with abortionists bc they both kill!
Your YouTube video contradicts your notion. People have been campaigning to end abortion for 5yr and they have never thought of what the punishment for it should be. That's the mind-set of anti abortionists. Just stop the killing of these babies. Period! We hope abortionists will listen. We don't even have plans for punishment, except in the mind of 99cent ![]()
I'm yet to watch the second video but let me say, I also fight for universal healthcare. When I mentioned it in an earlier posts some people laughed at me bc I said I'm republican. You guys confuse republicanism with the tea party of today. One of the first presidents to propose health reform was teddy Roosevelt. Republican president from 1901-1909. Also Richard Nixon (republican president from 1969-1974/5) Even Bob Dole proposed a health reform that is more liberal than what Obama did (which he largely copied from what Romney did) . I can speak for myself, I care. I really do care. Take care of the poor, end abortions, make the world a better place. 2 Likes |

davidylan: Answer the question. If abortion is made illegal (as your wish), what punishment do you feel is most appropriate for the woman committing the abortion? should she be sentenced as a murderer? VERY SIMPLE QUESTION. you typed out a whole book in your post and did not once answer the very simple question. same to you biolabee and toshman. answer the question. |
