I'll make it as clear as i can for you, as i know "brilliant", discriminating  people such as yourself have trouble understanding plain speech:

I don't give a hoot in hell what your "politcal affiliations" are.    Didn't "guess" 'em  either.   Though your strong reaction is kind of a "red flag", you might say.  But i gave it about as much thought as you gave any of your "insightful", and deeply-felt "opinions"  i bothered to read here.

Oh, one other thing.  I think the term "Orwellian Left" fits perfectly.  If you don't like it,  tough toejam.   Clear enough??

Plain speech?  More like inane platitudes, as usual.  I wonder if you've had an original thought in your life.

You should care what my political affiliations are, since you attacked me based on an obvious misperception about them.  And, well, that just makes you look dumb(er).  That you wouldn't care regardless doesn't surprise me.

My strong reaction has more to do with your obviously simple world view than it has to do with your political or ideological leanings.  I know many brilliant and well-spoken conservatives who don't resort to painting those with whom they disagree with a broad and inappropriate brush.  You remind me of Boroda in your incessant need to belittle the people rather than the ideas you oppose, Comrade Cabby.

Oh, that's an argument winner right there.  LOL!  Do you know what Orwell's political affiliation was?  Do you know what 1984 was about?  How do you reconcile the two?

WRONG. This is a personal decision. I believe it is a woman's right to do whatever she likes with her body... because it's HER body. It's not mine. It's not yours. Ultimate authority over one's body belongs to the person.

Hence... pro-choice... If you're a woman who is against abortion, you can exist in a pro-choice world.


You just made my point. You were offered probably the most honest definition of the debate...

pro-abortion vs. anti-abortion

both sides know exactly what the final result of the abortion is. If you feel so strongly about your position, you should be able to admit that you are for abortion being legal (with its all consequences) and availabe to every woman for the asking.

Obviously you feel unconfortable with calling things by their names, thus the "pro-choice" and "fetus is not a human being" escape.

Like I said... I don't know anyone that is pro-abortion so the terms of your argument are not applicable.

I absolutely support a woman's right to choose abortion. This is not the same thing as saying I'm pro-abortion.

It means it's none of my business. It means that I don't want the government telling anyone what they can or cannot do with their own body.

*Sigh*

No it's not.  Pro-abortion implies that someone is for abortions, just for the sake of abortion, and that's pretty stupid as that's not what the pro-choice people fight for.  What pro-choice people fight for is the right of the woman to decide wether or not she want's an abortion.

To use your logic, pro-choice and anti-choice would be just as good.  Because hey, we both no that libs want to give woman choice and conservatives want to take that away.  Leave it to a conservative to try and change the labels when they don't suit him.  :rolleyes:

And on a more personal note.  Where the hell do you guys get off trying to inforce your will on my wifes body?

Cripes, that's the problem with conservatives, always trying meddle in other peoples affairs.

You don't want government intervention unless it suits you.  What hypocracy.

That is just a window dressing. I don't want to get into the abortion discussion itself. All I'm trying to do, is to point out that the pro-abortion forces want to make their position more palatable by redefining terms, shifting the focus of a debate and  omitting a significant portion of their agenda.

You say, let a woman "choose". In reality, you want much more. You want abortion to be not only legal, but also:

- available to any woman at any time for any (or no) reason
- to be free (thus forcing abortion oponents to finance it)
- to be advertised/encouraged by the doctors
- to be available to minors without their parents consent (or even knowledge)
- made available and free for women in other countries (paid of course by the US taxpayer)
- available to the woman even AFTER pregnacy ends (late term abortion).

In short, the pro-abortion stance is to use it as a birth control.

I can respect your position, but be honest and call things by their names.

The twist is that although a woman's body is clearly involved and significantly affected, it is not her life that ends.

Again, I understand your position, but don't hide behind the "choice" and/or "keep the government out of my life" facade.
