Whatever, I wasn't even disagreeing with you there. My problem is with the mocking tone of the article. I never proclaimed the woman to be a saint.

Who's pretending she's wonderful? I just don't like the tone.

Right back at-cha. Nice way to intelligently contribute to the conversation.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what you're trying to say, but go ahead and judge if it suits you. I'm tired of explaining why I think it's wrong to people who can't see past their righteous rage to read the million explanations I already wrote.

Did you actually read anything I said about Lindsay? It's a far cry from "Let's ridicule this woman's abusive childhood because she's an asshole! If you're going to stalkery about my profile at least get it right.

And likewise. Some here can't seem to get to that point, so I appreciate your honesty.

"You bore me and discussion with you is clearly pointless."

But why is it necessary to criticize her past relationship? Especially when there are so many other things to criticize about the harmfulness of her speech and actions to overturn abortion rights? It isn't wrong to delve into her life story, or even point out choices that she made that she is now trying to keep…

They also hold up MLK's niece. Many pro-lifers are obviously not interested in truth or facts, just in "trumping" choice. I agree that the counter-argument is relevant. But she's hardly the only "dangerous and unhinged" person on the pro-life side, and that, to me, doesn't give license to ridicule her life.

Sure it is. My point is that treating it in such a dismissive manner is mean-spirited and not helpful.

It's not for me to accept, or even care about.

So criticize the actions that are harmful. But why should her whole life be up for ridicule?

Ugh, PLEASE read my other responses. She isn't. But how is making fun of her life struggles helpful to anyone? Is it so hard to criticize her statements and her actions to limit choice, and leave her personal life out of it?

So criticize that. Not sure why her life needs to be ridiculed in the process.

Why do you think it's bad to have standards?

So criticize her words. But why her life?

According to who? I would consider the term 'immoral' to be somewhat subjective in this case.

Treating other people like shit, as you say, is a life choice, even though you may not like it. If that's how she chooses to treat people, it's a choice. Not sure why that's so hard to understand.

Agreed 100%. I just don't understand why making fun of her life was necessary. There's plenty to criticize without getting personal.

No see, that's what my point is. Criticize what she says that is wrong. Criticize the things that she does to hold other women back from the same right she has. But to criticize her life and personal decisions in such a way makes us seem nasty and hypocritical. This site is big on getting rid of body-snarking, but…
