He’s complicit in her suicide if the circumstances he created motivated her to take her life

Here’s a vaguely analogous question: say someone runs a red light and hits your car, sending you to the hospital with a broken leg. When recovering in the hospital, you catch a horrible infection and die. You wouldn’t have been in the hospital to catch that infection if the driver hadn’t hit you, so is his illegal act…

How does anyone have the right to judge another human being’s decisions?

And I agree, anyone who wants it to be illegal just wants ‘immoral’ women to die.

What are you even talking about? No one said it was generous or something that we need. I’m just pointing out that, when considering the viewpoint of people we vehemently disagree with, it doesn’t aid our cause to deploy ridiculous strawman arguments, or to paint them in hysterically reactive terms. We rightly…

I have no doubt that, in reality, it is problematic and bullshit in most cases. I was more responding to the tone of the “ANTI-ABORTION = HAPPY WOMEN MURDERERS” comment, which doesn’t seem a helpful assessment of the opposing side.

No shit. And, as is clear from both my posts, I am also pro-choice and pro-women’s rights. I’m taking issue with the way you are painting our mutual opponents, which is ridiculously over-wrought and does nothing but dumb down this important discourse.

To anti-abortionists, having an abortion also involves a human life ending, so the statistically small percentage of time that the woman’s life is in danger is (to them) an outlier issue that his little to do with the “fact” that “abortions require that babies die. Period.” But sure, the way to make progress on this…

I’ve only followed this sporadically: do we know that he targeted women, or is it just likely because of the circumstantial evidence? (With the Isla Vista killings, we know for a fact they were gender motivated.)

That’s not really fair.

But this article is about the scientists that use the tissue, not the women who terminate the pregnancy. The fact that a scientist meditates about the source of the tissue doesn’t mean that it still wasn’t “done with a carefree disregard.” Your talking point is confused.

To be fair, some anti-abortion people don’t have problems with procedures when the mother’s life is at risk. And surely the amount of abortions undertaken to save a woman’s life is miniscule compared to those who just want to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. So the idea that “Anyone who demands that abortions be…

People on Gawker literally believe that (American) borders should be porous, and that anyone who wants should be able to come here without hassle.
