Between this and the forced sterilization of prisoners, California has had a great week of banning some "how the fuck was this ever legal in the first place"-type practices.
This is kind of something I've long thought about a lot of forced-birthers. Not so much a psychopathic disinterest in the lives of others, but a lack of depth in their understanding of life and death that renders them incapable of developing proportional responses to it. If there is no personal connection to grant…
So that somehow excuses them, and allows them to still remain your poorly constructed abortion comparison? Even the forced-birth-supporting Duggars, as fundamentalists in the quiverfull movement, have their own ideas of which people should be breeding.
Right? It used to be the height of vulgarian rudeness to talk publicly about your religious beliefs. It's like talking about your shits. Everybody has 'em, but the overweening self-absorption involved in talking about them publicly is fucking immense. Nobody else wants to hear about it, Mary-Jo. Nobody.
I'm not rephrasing their positions. I'm presenting them in their entirety. When a fetus' "right to life" supersedes a woman's right to control her own body, she then has less moral standing then that fetus. Does it bother you to present the argument in stark facts, rather than wishy washy feel-good adjectives about…
The nazis also outlawed abortions.

Gee, what are the odds that "The American Holocaust" ISN'T about the genocide of the Native Americans.

IDK, denying moral status to women in favor of fetuses makes em pretty fucking close to Westboro. Maybe less yelling, I'll give you that. But no less awful.
Hard-core Christian Rights are psychotic motherfuckers trying to whip a nation of embittered people into a frenzy and using propaganda to advance their psychotic notions about what the world should be like.
The worst is when they say "The American Holocaust". I want to vomit when I hear that.
Yeah, a lot of people tend to ignore the people persecuted in the Holocaust that are politically or ideologically inconvenient.
Because EVERY WHITE-JUDEO-CHRISTIAN-HETERO LIFE IS PRECIOUS.
"...because EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS."
Except pro-choicers aren't the ones trying to re-define human life, the anti-abortion crowd is. Historically, the general belief (and Christian teaching) has been that fetuses don't count (or get souls) until quickening, and thus abortion before that point was more or less okay. The idea of "a person from conception"…
Even if you agree that a fertilized embryo at conception is as valuable as a full term baby, NONE OF THESE FUCKING COMPARISONS MAKE ANY SENSE.
At no point during the Nazi Regime did they change the definition of life.
