Girl Scout troop leader Kim Douglas • Discussing a recent situation her 10-year-old daughter faced when going door-to-door to sell cookies. Douglas’ daughter, by the way, didn’t know what abortion was. “It left my daughter very shocked, confused,” Douglas said. “She said, ‘Mommy, something creepy happened to me.’” By the way: The Girl Scouts, which have faced much culture war heat of late (including this guy we posted about Monday), take no position on abortion or contraception, so the woman was incorrect.

I hate the world, I really do. Politicians with their “small amount of web-based research” peddle nonsense like this and people eat it up without ever fact checking it. It’s ridiculous how we let them get away with outright lying and there’s never any consequences. Now we have a country full of people who cannot think critically for themselves :/

Being pro-life does not mean you’re sexist.

Whoever decided to throw that analogy out there should be punched multiple times in the face.

Like really? What?

I hate abortion. I see it as the destruction of the process of life, which, to me, is the most basic fundamental miracle of the universe.

Fundamental miracle? hmmm. Here’s the thing, kid: It is sexist, but in some cases, like yours, it’s not a commissive sexism, it’s more of an omissive sexism. In other words, you don’t necessarily consider yourself morally superior based on your gender identification, but your views express that.

See, here’s the real illusion about abortion that both the pro-choice and anti-choice sides are pushing: That the choice is up for debate. The choice exists, there’s no stopping that. The debate is over who gets to make it. People who are pro-choice support the individual’s right to make decisions regarding their bodies. People who call themselves pro-life are in favor of the government making the decision. You can call it a immoral and come up with reasons and justifications all day long and it’s a fun exercise in rhetoric, but at the end of the day there’s only one thing really up for debate here: Who’s choice is it, the individual’s or the government’s?

Let me add this: If it’s the government’s decision and not the individuals than should it not also be the government’s decision to donate one of your kidney’s to a needy relative? Say mom has two good kidneys and, through know fault of her own, daughters are failing. Shouldn’t the government prevent, what you see as, the destruction of life by forcing mom to give one of the good kidneys to save daughters life? If daughter dies because mom made the choice to keep the kidney, we can call it immoral and grandstand and feel better about ourselves, but if government makes the choice, …well, how do we feel about ourselves then?

(Also, quick note of acknowledgment that abortion rights apply to anyone with a uterus, that includes trans-men and girls, not just women).

Bolded for emphasis, yo

… sure, whatever. If it’ll get you to protest SOPA and PIPA then fine, it’s totally the atheists trying to the take the internet away from god-fearing christians.

Also I just felt like you guys should be made aware that THE TRUTH HAS BEEN REVEALED and THE MAJORITY OF POLITICIANS IN POWER ARE ATHEISTS and THEY ARE THE ONES PUSHING SOPA AND PIPA THROUGH.

Just a little heads up.

The poor Christian minority... :'(

Slightly old, but still always relevant.

Fun fact: “crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs) collected over $30 million in taxpayer dollars between 2001 and 2005. A random investigation of 23 CPCs found that 20 of them were intentionally misinforming patients. Your tax dollars at work!

-Jess

But taxpayer dollars funding actual and potentially life-saving health services and unbiased information via Planned Parenthood? The horror!

Pro-life: Berate the people who wind up with unintended pregnancies for being "stupid" and being uninformed about pregnancy and sex, support the places and abstinence only education that peddles false information and keeps people uninformed about pregnancy and sex.

Anti-Abortion Activists Plan To Harass Women With ‘Empty Manger’ Christmas Caroling

This holiday season, anti-abortion activists in several states are renewing one of their favorite traditions: harassing women in front of family planning clinics with mean-spirited Christmas carols.

RH Reality Check reports on the antics of Pro-Life Wisconsin:

Meanwhile, the Pro-Life League’s website lists a jam-packed schedule of anti-abortion Christmas caroling in the Chicago area. Events are also listed in Birmingham, Alabama, and several California cities.

In the true spirit of the holidays, women who need help from reproductive clinics will now have face a swarm of religious ideologues who have turned their condemnation into song for the occasion.

Wow, that’s some pro-life compassion right there.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS MERRY CHRISTMAS, BABY KILLERS.
