You know, I sent cc a PM on this, warning her what she was walking into here. Near as I could tell from past posts in her profile, she's a Republican who doesn't like Clinton in the least. You guys want to keep flogging this, be my guest. It all sounds like fear mongering to me, or perhaps you'll admit to being on the farthest fringe of the issue? Or perhaps you'd like to take up the debate with the inimitable mrknowitall, as in Message 6125780 :
Nor do I believe you are accurately representing the position of the pro-life side of the issue. You are conveniently using the position of the furthest fringe in an attempt to stereotype the majority of those who are far from the fringe.
That last little "substantive debate" lecture was in response to Message 6125403 , where I stated:
Uh huh. Every time somebody's brought up the "barbarism" of "partial birth abortion", with all the requisite gory descriptions, it's been clear they're not interested in banning partial birth abortions, or reducing the number through better education and birth control. They're interested in banning abortions, period. And, since life begins at conception, presumably banning IUD's too, as well as RU-486 and other "morning after" methods.
Michael Cummings does at least seem to have a genuinely moderate position on the matter, so I can't say everybody here is on the furthest fringe. Seems to be plenty of people hanging out there, though. Keep pushing the issue, it's a political winner for sure.
Cheers, Dan. |
