[quote]Jill: Rape exceptions from “pro-lifers” are always interesting to me, because they’re a pretty accurate reflection of just how much anti-abortion legislation is about punishing women for sex, and not about the fetus at all.[/quote]

That is quite interesting. You would think that the “pro-life” camp would say that abortions even for victims of rape and incest are forms of “murder”. Imagine my complete lack of shock!

Anyways, I love reading this blog and I think I will stay a while. :)

When I linked to this on ProChoiceTalk, this was Mugen’s response…

“Could this person get any more in left field?”
Quote:
“Rape exceptions from “pro-lifers” are always interesting to me, because they’re a pretty accurate reflection of just how much anti-abortion legislation is about punishing women for sex, and not about the fetus at all ”
“This always amuses me. It is for this reason that I am opposed to abortion in cases of rape. And yet I guarantee if I informed this person of that, they would use it as another example of hating women. This kind of intellectual dishonesty is not debate. It is propaganda.”

Gaaaaaah.
Mugen’s always accusing pro-choicers of intellectual dishonesty, propoganda, name-calling, bullying, etc. Needless to say he’s a rabid pro-lifer. Notice how pro-lifers tend to project like that?

Krystel in comment 1 said it best, “It’s simple: These people aren’t pro-life, they’re pro-abstinence and pro-punishing “those damn sluts.””

They don’t give a rat’s ass about life. Mine, yours, fetuses, babies, or anyone else’s (except their own, of course). These assholes just want control. The power to push their personal agendas on the rest of the world. And they’ve co-opted the terms ‘pro-life’ and ‘Christian’ to do it.

Yeah, just reading Little Bill’s words, it could almost sound like a pitch for a new show on CW or Fox, or maybe a photo shoot on America’s Next Top Model.

But when you actually see the video (or the pic of him clutching the diagram of the female reproductive system with the word DEED in big bold letters on top), you might take it as a mockumentary on the Right To Life movement (“my concern for these girls goes to 11″), or Sexual Predators (“isn’t my new ankle bracelet just divine!”).

But there’s nothing mocku about it.

With new limits like this, you’re going to see a lot more babies left in dumpsters or on doorsteps.

Not very “pro-life”, is it? – Jenny Dreadful

It’s all about going back to the Middle Ages, ain’t it? I guess they figure the babies will be left at Nunneries?

Or maybe not … the Middle Ages were a time of Catholic Orthodoxy, weren’t they.

Yet the anti-choice crowd seems to figure so long as the baby survives long enough to get baptized, s/he’ll be part of the army of God. OTOH, listen to the anti-choice crowd talk about “abortion clinics” — they make it sound like for every abortion performed Planned Parenthood is able to harvest another soul for Satan. They talk similarly about gay rights — as if the gays were trying to win souls for Satan.

Just like Bill Donohue gets into serious Docetic territory whenever anything relating to Jesus and teh sex comes up, the anti-choice/anti-”gay agenda” crowd does sound downright Manichean. I have friends who are as conservative/Catholic as they come and they cannot stand these people — simply because they are in fact, by Catholic standards (even when they claim to be Catholics) heretics!

When pressed for such a scenario, Little Billy said

Alas, writing the quotation doesn’t do justice to what Little Billy (hey — I like that!) actually said: he emphasized certain words in such a way that it sounded like he was relishing the mental picture he had of what he was describing.

Geez. If you’re fifteen years old, and you end up pregnant, but your parents will literally kick your ass if they find out, your options are pretty limited. With new limits like this, you’re going to see a lot more babies left in dumpsters or on doorsteps.

Not very “pro-life”, is it?
