I Am A Pro-Life Liberal
I was going to blog on another issue, but decided it could wait. I know the Jedi will come here and LOL and rant. I don’t care.
I am pro-life because:
I do not support the death penalty.
I do not support wars that justify killing other people because they are the enemy.
I will never have an abortion.
I support birth control so that unwanted children will not be conceived.
I believe that once a child is born, all needs that are needed for that child to excel in our society should be utilized to benefit that child.
*gasp* Allah no! Do you fully realize what you did? A extremist pro-life may come in here and terrorize the f*** out of your blog and your readers…. >=)~
I do believe your stance just proves how much you appreciate life and one’s existence. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. 🙂
I guess I will help to carry this cross, John. I am against abortion, war and the death penalty—but birth control before inception is okay by me. I would even support taxpayer funding if only to prevent an abortion. If the birth control method does not work…I am still against abortion—the woman should carry to full term and let another woman / family that cannot conceive have the opportunity to love and cherish the miracle of life through adoption.
So…you’re against abortion, but you’re okay with women murdering a baby that is only half theirs? You are not against abortion then. I withdraw my support for you then, baby killer.
I have not been able to sort my personal beliefs about the death penalty, as you have. Regarding war: only in defense, do not support attacking for oil or saddam-like vengeance, or noriega-like unjust causes anymore. Regarding your other beliefs listed above, they mirror my own.
Not that anybody necessarily gives a sh*t… or asked, mind you :). I felt the urge to give my input here more or less because of my attn whoring thing, which I still struggle with, and may never fully (or even partially, to keep it real) overcome.
Still, anyone who could attack a person for their decision to choose peace and not support the taking of human lives is either
A) Someone who has lost a child or close loved one to a murderer and has not recovered from that tragedy
or
B) Someone with some personal demons worse than mine, and unable as of yet to overcome these demons.
And that was not an attn whoring attempt. Just science. 😛
Dustup, I cannot reply to your private message that you sent me. Your cowardice in allowing people that disagree with you is childish. We agree almost always.
I agree with you on all these things. I am also against abortion on a personal level, but feel that it is not my choice to decide for other women. So now maybe I can have some asshole come call me a baby killer, even though I’ve never had an abortion. Why people even put up with that dicks little fits is beyond me and I’m not just talking about Mr. Caps.
I AM SO SORRY THAT JEDI JAMES HAS NOT YET COME TO TERRORIZE YOUR BLOG. MAYBE IF I POST A COMMENT IN ALLCAPS IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL A LITTLE BIT LIKE HE IS HERE.
HMM… WHAT TO SAY WHEN IMPERSONATING JEDI JAMES??
MARGARET SANGER HAD AN AFFAIR WITH ADOLPH HITLER!
PLANNED PARENTHOOD MAKES MONEY SELLING ABORTED BABIES TO FERTILIZER COMPANIES!!
OBAMA IS GOING TO MAKE POST-NATAL ABORTIONS LEGAL!!!
AM I DOING A GOOD JOB?
I find people who base friendship on one issue to be odd. I feel as strongly about the death penalty as some feel about abortion but do not require that all people agree with me. There is neither a biblical or scientific basis for considering abortion “baby killing”.
I thought you might like this. The Palin family proves once again that abstinence only doesn’t work with yet a second grandbaby conceived out of wedlock:

When someone said, “It’s not a baby,” my instant response used to be, “What the hell is it then, it ain’t a carrot!?” My former ignorance brings a flush of embarrassment now, but I did learn and educate myself. Terms like “zygote” and “fetus” are NOT merely politically correct terms people made up to make “killing a baby” sound not as bad, they are biologically correct terms. There is nothing magical about the joining of a human sperm cell with a human egg cell. The result cannot immediately be called “a living human being” by any reasonable definition of “human being”. It is human only in the narrowest possible DNA sense. “Being” is a whole different thing.
I used to struggle with the idea that a woman could choose abortion no matter the opinion of the father, because I very much wanted to be a dad. It still seems a little skewed in a sence, but reasonably speaking, once the process has begun, it is entirely the woman’s body which must deal with it, so it must ultimately be her choice. I would happily agree to carrying the offspring to term inside my own body, if I could get any medical people to do the work.
I support birth control for both genders.
I support war ONLY as an absolute, last ditch defensive only measure.
I do not support the death penalty. I don’t believe the state ever has any right to take a human’s life, period.
