If ABORTION = MURDER, and MURDER = DEATH PENALTY,
If ABORTION = MURDER, and MURDER = DEATH PENALTY,

then aren't Republican "pro lifers" saying that all women who have an abortion should be EXECUTED?

And isn't Palin saying that if a girl gets raped by her biological dad, she should be put to death for aborting that freak child?

Just asking....

2. Fetuses are only people till they are born.
Then they are pre-canon fodder till they turn 18, at which time, unless you have rich parents, then you are expected to volunteer to be canon fodder for your Company^h^h^h^h^h^h^hCountry.

7. You're forgetting something.
All babies born to mothers who cannot afford them are "drains on society" and "ploys to get more welfare money" once they are born.

THEN they're cannon fodder.

3. Conservatives are only pro-life from conceprtion to birth
After that, you're on your own.

14. No, actually they are pro-life for PRE-conception as well
In their world contraception equates to abortion

Further proof that that dogma blitzes intelligence

4. Of course. Why do you think nutjobs blow up clinics?
They are just carrying out their "god given right" to hand out the death penalty to murderers

5. well, they'd probably go after the doctors and maybe nurses first.
Like that doctor in Florida (I think it was the early nineties?) who was murdered by an anti abortion group. It's okay to murder as long as it's not a fetus. It says so in the Bible - or haven't we all read that passage?? :crazy:

6. ask an anti choice person what the punishment should be and they shut up
there's a great YouTube where a guy went out and interviewed ppl at an anti choice rally asking just that question.

Priceless.

They won't say they should go to jail.

8. If the women shouldn't go to jail, is it because a fetus isn't a life?
Not that the nutjobs care that they're being inconsistent.

But if abortion = murder, how is it that the woman shouldn't be charged with murder?

If a doctor helps a woman kill a 1 yr old baby, isn't the woman guilty too?

But if a doctor helps a woman kill an unborn child, then the woman isn't guilty?

I don't understand. (I do understand: the reich wing nutjobs don't care if it makes sense.)

10. This totally reminds me of "The Birdcage"
Albert: (discussing abortion) Oh, I know what you're going to say. "If you kill the mother, the fetus dies too." But the fetus is going to be aborted anyway, so why not let it go down with the ship?

11. Moral consistency and reason DO NOT apply to Repukes. They are Ideological IDIOTS. n/t

13. Sometimes I thing the term "pro-life" should be co-opted by the Democrats
who support a woman's right to choose. "We're pro-life: we believe every man, woman, and child has a right to the best medical care, regardless of income. We believe no American should be sent to war frivolously; war is the last option after all alternatives have failed." Etc., etc.

15. yes. i have used this argument. further cannot justify rape incest and womens health
like so many republicans do if it is murder. then we are saying murder is ok if the woman didnt have a say. but it is not ok if she willingly spread her legs. then it is a moral punishment and not an issue of murder
