Thanks again for replying. We're 100% in agreement that if anyone is completely against abortion, they need to - at the very least - provide a secure safety net for parents who can't afford to take care of a child and don't have the option to abort.

"Clip" probably fit better on their sign. They're protesters, not legislators; I'm reasonably sure the wording of the actual bill was a bit more thorough. Not a fair comparison to the GOP's lawmakers, who really do have no idea what they're legislating sometimes and seem squeamish about using the correct terminology…

I'm so, so sorry that you're going through this. It all sounds terrible - being aggressively pursued by someone you don't like, the fact that this person used to be a good friend, and the fact that your other friends don't see the problem for what it is. What a horrible way to end your senior year.

And if she was Christian, after death she got to look forward to...more men. If she was lucky she got the super-controlling one who expected her to sing songs of praise about his awesomeness; otherwise she got the asshat who would make it his personal mission to torment her. One of those two guys. For eternity.

What up WashU? Way to represent!

Thanks for writing back (and for doing so respectfully). From what you wrote, I'd say that we agree far, far more than we disagree - your second and third paragraphs are my sentiments exactly.

More unsolicited advice here. It's easy to say "talk about it," but talking could easily get defensive or emotional. Maybe try something different: agree to go fact-finding together. Sit down with the internet and look up statistics on rape, on domestic violence, on the pay gap, on birth control. You'll probably find…

Fucked up story, but that last line is pure gold. Well played.

I'm sorry you went through that; it must have been a scary time for your family. Can I ask you an honest but difficult question? I don't understand how you can be pro-life given your wife's circumstances. It sounds like abortion would be wrong for your family in all cases except when it threatens your wife's life; to…

That's so insanely fucked up. I'm sorry you went through that.

Absolutely possible. When I was very, very young, my mom bought me a picture book called "No-No the Little Seal". It's a story about a seal whose Uncle Walrus touches him in bad ways. No-No hates spending time alone with Uncle Walrus but is ashamed to tell his parents why, so he just hides on a pile of rocks for a…

Cosigned - what a great idea. Even if they don't work together, it would be great if someone made an effort to solve the problem.

So in summary, Navarro's argument is: "It's my personal choice to deny you the ability to make personal choices. I'll tolerate the fact that you really wanted a personal choice, and you'll tolerate the fact that you don't get one. Personal choice for all!"

Hi Rebuttal,
