I do think, PROLIFE, that my request for substantiation and clarification of your surprising "statistics" and allegations is somewhat in a different category than your request for personal information about individual women. Don't you? This is especially clear, PROLIFE, given that there is no dispute between us on the factuality of my assertion that such "back alley" abortions happened.
Your words, pasted:
<<<btw--I never said it did not happen. Of course it happened.>>>
PROLIFE: I made four predictions that you would not be able to substantiate any of your "factual" claims, or answer any of the obvious questions that they suggest. These are the ones that turned out to be accurate:
Prediction Number One. [I had a right to be supplied the offer you came on here and claimed I was reneging on.]
Prediction Number Two. [We all had a right to expect that after claiming that there were many baby parts for sale, you would tell us what parts, how many, and who is doing the buying and selling. This is a shocking allegation of yours and of the subsection of the anti-abortion movement you typify, and should not be made if it is untrue. You should actively want to supply the evidence... if it is true.]
Prediction Number Three. [You said "money grubbers" were telling lies to "keep the killing legal." That is another shocking allegation that you should actively want to substantiate... if it is true.]
Prediction Number Four. [I was indeed correct in predicting that you would not fail to substantiate only one or two of your allegations, but would fail to substantiate every single one.]
You can't say I have not come to know you well, and, through you, others like you. And it is my hope that I am not the only one who has found this exchange fascinating and elucidating.
I believe you are being used by those more sophisticated than you. Their justification for tricking you would undoubtedly be identical to your justification for lying-- "to SAVE lives!"
A paradox: naivete can be a sordid thing.
You posts have descended from pathos to bathos. I'm not sure there's much more you can exemplify for us, so I will spare you further engagement. |
