Comparing Them to Nazis

Wasn’t someone at the IFI comparing anti-bullying training at schools (in the context of anti-homophobia) to Nazi brainwashing a few months ago?

I swear I just heard Palin saying that having choices is American. Is she disagreeing with this woman Higgins?

I am so confused by the logic of these anti-choicers…

I don’t think that the IFI is morally equivaliant to the KKK but the rationalizations that they use to justify homophobia is similar to the rationializations that members of the KKK use to justify racism.

If I were going to compare the Holocaust to another sin in terms of its gravity and evil, it would be to abortion.

she forgot “…unless of course they’re homosexual babies”
zing!

Beth: “That’s because the anti-choicers have no logic”

Is that the new, cool term now for people who are against abortion? “Anti-choicers”? Look, Beth, I believe you (and the rest of you who use that term) have choices, many of which are guided by laws we have.

But, we also have moral choices. If you have a freezer full of food, and you knew an old lady who lived next door to you had no money and no food, whether or not you gave her food would be your moral choice. Other people who lack morals and have no conscience may say, “Hey, I need to look out for myself. If she starves, too bad. That’s not my problem. You can’t force me to give her food; that’s my choice.” Morally, that’s their choice, as barbaric as it may seem.

I work as a Registered Nurse in a large emergency department. I have seen miscarried “fetuses” at various ages. One in particular was a 13 week old “fetus” (I hate that term because this was obviously a human being). It was a tiny boy. He looked like a toy action figure, he had little toes, little fingers, you could see his little knees, the tiny muscles on his legs, his little nose, and his mouth was open. He had no baby fat yet, so he looked like a miniature man. It really struck me, because people abort “fetuses” much older than this little guy, and they try to say how it doesn’t matter, or that it’s the mothers’ choice, or this “creature” is not yet a life and is insignificant. Well, I think it’s tragic. No one can tell me this tiny, miniature man would not be able to feel pain.

Morally, I think the only choices regarding reproduction a woman (or “girl”, in this day and age) should worry about are: 1.) Should I or shouldn’t I have sex? 2.) Should I skip having sex since I’m out of birth control? 3.) Oops! I got pregnant! Now, should I attempt to be a responsible adult and raise this child to the best of my ability (since it’s not his/her fault you decided to have unprotected sex), or should I have this baby and give it to a grateful couple who are unable to have children of their own?

And Hemant: For you to be a man standing up and saying abortion is okay, when you have never been pregnant, have never missed a period, have never had the monthly blues or even felt the deep agonizing depression many women who have abortions sink into shortly after…well, gosh…I think I, as a woman, will start blogging and giving men advice about their minds and bodies.

Liz, in reference to the term anti-choicers.
The term is used because they advocate a legal restriction on the choices available to women.
Traditionally, these people have called themselves pro-lifers, but that is a mis-nomer, since statistically, they are the same people who support the death penalty, and restrict access to loving homes for those very same unwanted children, if the prospective adoptive parents are not married, or heterosexual, or both. In other words, these people show more compassion for a fetus than for the living. And let’s not forget the murderers of pro-choice doctors, killing in the name of “life”.

So, yes, “anti-choicer” is the newer, more accurate term for people who want a women’s choices restricted.

its like liz never heard of postpartum depression.
