43.4% of Freepers would make abortion illegal WITH NO EXCEPTIONS
Edited on Fri Jul-22-05 01:50 PM by Walt Starr
That means no abortion under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Women with tubal pregnancies can just die, damnit!

5. Go to the link I provided
Nearly all of the rest would make it illegal with exceptions.

One assumes the only allowable exception in their mid would be life of the mother. I bet they'd tie a lot of proof to that one, too.

Nearly 90% want it illegal in some fashion.

16. Do they plan to shoot the unwanted children on the steps of the church?
Isn't that how it's usually done?

And it's a use for all those guns suitable for nothing but shooting humans.

10. Jesus said neither to be a scribe or a pharisee
Oh wait i forget this sick red god the freepers worship isn't my god. Its a god of war madness and richess.

13. If you include those who would make it illegal with exceptions
it's nearly 90%.

Those who would make exceptions are overwhelmingly in favor of the only exception being life of the mother. Rape means carry the fetus to term.

6. In a thread on the topic, those viting in favor of illegal with exception
would make the only exception life of the mother.

Rape, incest, health, none of it matters to them

so jnearly half of these mouth breathers want a woman who has a tubal pregnacny to die and almost all of the rest want women to be forced to carry the product of rape.

7. That's 43.4% who approve of incest.
Pregnancies result from incest. But that's okay with them.

21. To be generous here...
it's also 43.4% who don't try to confuse the issue by allowing for "exceptions" like rape/incest.

At least they express their misogyny honestly and demonstrate their hatred openly.

These sorts of people are only to be reviled and shunned by a civilized society and frustrated in their desires the same way that pro-slavery folks were.

The folks who want abortion illegal and then try to hide their misogyny/hatred behind a facade of "caring", as if the trauma of rape/incest is the *only* rationale for "allowing" abortion, are not only to be reviled but should be forced into re-education(seriously, to *educate* these people!) camps until such times as society deems them sufficiently intelligent to rejoin.

What boggles my mind most is that these very people who argue *for* prenatal personhood are so blithely willing to trade away that supposed "right" simply to make illegalizing abortion *sound* more palatable.
It would be like declaring that Junior is a person except after he's been despoiled and then it's ok to kill him.
Hunh?

The bottom third of the class just needs remediatin', folks.
That's the problem right there.
:D

Cletus.

8. And out of the 43% there are some that have been a party to one.
I guarantee it. The rightwing is the absolutely most hypocritical bunch, ever. I guarantee that some of those 43% freepers have been involved in an abortion at some time in their lifetime... I mean, how many of us know personally people who have had abortions or were a party to one, that are vocally right-wing, anti-choice?

11. 40.,4% would make it illegal with exceptions!
And most who wrote about it in a thread, the ONLY exception is life of the mother.

Get raped? Too bad. Carry the product of that rape to term!

I swear, a majority of those mouth breathers would approve stoning women who are raped.

12. Did you hear McCain last night on Hardball?
He would only make exceptions if the mother's life is in jeopardy and it sounded like only during the early portion of the pregnancy.

22. Problem is
That you can't always count on life-threatening events to happen in the first 3 months.
What about cancer?
What about auto accidents?
How do you schedule emergencies?
Huh John?
Can you answer that?

15. I wish the Freeptards moms had used their right to an abortion
when they had the chance. Could have cleaned up the Murkan gene pool, raised the national IQ average and prevented the current rise in the popularity of NASCAR all in one fell swoop.

the other fans in his family are about as pro-choice and Democratic as you can get.

Somehow as I typed that, I knew the NASCAR joke would come back to bite me.
No offense to lefties, liberals and Dems of any stripe intended. :blush:

17. These pigs are going to have to lose a family member (a daughter)
to death over this. That is the only way they'll remotely change their view on it. And they think they are reasonable people, unlike radical islamic terrorists.

18. Follow up question
"If abortion were made illegal, what should be the penalty for having or performing one?"


Im betting most of these people would say "death". Culture of life my ass.

20. has to be. if they are going to outlaw it for some
has to be outlawed for all. no exception. so as our mothers die, as the 12 year old raped and impregnated by her father kills herself, or worse, has the baby and the rest of her life is in an emotional hell

this is their repercussion for outlawing.

no exception

in all its ugliness

this is what they create

they can own it

even those 30% that merely wanted the girls who were too "loose" to pay the price, not the females that are actual victims. fuck that. they can hold onto the shame for all the women......that they have the audacity to judge

24. At least the 43.4% are being intellectually honest
Warped and fucked in the head, but honest.

If you believe that abortion destroys an innocent life, then you really have to oppose all abortions except those that might kill the mother. A fetus conceived from rape or incest is innocent of those crimes so why should that fetus be terminated?

It's the people who want to ban abortion with various exceptions whose positions I find contradictory. How is it that it is immoral to terminate some fetuses but not others? And who gets to judge which exceptions are to be made?

37. There is no fighting the Roberts nomination
we can posture, but I see no way to actually fight it.

The gang of 14 is the ojnly committee vote that matters now on judicial nominations. Sad but true.
