Good points designbot. Agree 100% with your first paragraph. Like I said I'm on the fence with abortion. I see both sides have a point, but as of the moment it is in fact legal in the United States. I think there is a bunch of moral gray area between terminating a pregnancy because one simply doesn't want to have a child (a lifestyle choice, which I find somewhat distasteful, if understandable in some situations) and terminating one because the embryo is severely damaged or malformed.
I don't think too many people make a third trimester choice to abort a fetus because of lifestyle choices..and if they do they shouldn't be allowed. I think these are deeply personal and painful decisions based on quality of life issues for the fetus and parents. It's a horrible thing to contemplate, but I get it. Of course, it strikes many who are already abortion foes as truly inhuman as the fetus is far more "human-like" in development. But I mean if the kid has half a brain, or severe extreme life-shortening deformities..I mean, wow..I am not one to pass judgement on parents who choice to terminate with that foreknowledge.
I find abhorent the self-righteous violence espoused and committed, and the eliminationist rhetoric employed by the more radical anti-abortion foes in this matter. And I really dislike the over-simplified moral arguments these neanderthals make. The crossroads of politics and religious ethical belief is strewn with bodies. I mean, if you think abortion is morally wrong, don't perform them, don't have one and if you feel so strongly, offer to talk to people contemplating them to make your point and offer to care for the children who heed your advice yet don't want to raise them.
Our friend GR only adds to it by using such language like "thsi muther-fucker [sic] gets what he deserves!" and boiling things down to "he took the lives of 60,000 third term babies!" without knowing what the circumstances and painful choices were made in these cases.
On a side note, just to be a total bastard, the very fact that this doctors practice was in a place like Kansas...huh, this deeply republican, christian state having the most abortions. I am not surprised. Sin bravely, invoking god's mercy, as always and calling the kettle black.
- Charma for the good doctor is a bitch, isn't it. Fuck him and fuck Kansas for allowing this to take place.********
- It makes me very sad that abortion is legal in this country. But you are absolutely right about those actions we (those opposed) can take.designbot
