Ok, I'm posting this because I was walking through my college campus and saw something that was screaming "post me! post me!" so I am.
First I'd like to thank everybodoy for the kind words you posted as goodbyes. I've talked to a few people on instant messengers and I have said I might post agains, so here it is. Also, before I start I'd like to do another round of shameless self promotion and announce that my radio show is now thursday nights 9-10 pm Arizona time hehe.
Now, as I was saying I was walking through the University campus and noticed an "anti-bush regime" poster on a table, then I noticed the chairs and microphone in front of that table which let me know it was a big deal. On that table there were pro-abortion pins that read the following: "Keep Abortion Legal", "Fetuses are not children, abortion is not murder", Parental Consent Laws limit the rights of young women!" and many more.
I've made my thoughts on abortion clear on other threads but just to recap: Abortion should be legal because we have separation of church and state and it is a state issue. It is the State's responsibility to protect and serve its people and abortion falls under both, it's a service and a health concern in some cases.
So obviously I agree with the first slogan, it should be kept legal, however the rest go down hill from there. To say that fetuses are not children to justify abortion is moronic. In other words If I were to grab a fertilized Condor, Chicken or Turtle egg and drop it from a three story building it's fine because "it's just an egg"? a quick dictionary search will reveal the following definition for "murder": The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.
Slang. Something that is very uncomfortable, difficult, or hazardous: The rush hour traffic is murderThe unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.
So they are right, it isn't murder since abortion is legal however are you still "killing"? again a quick search brought up: To put to death.
To deprive of life: The Black Death was a disease that killed millions.
To put an end to; extinguish: The rain killed our plans for a picnic.
To destroy a vitally essential quality in: Too much garlic killed the taste of the meat.
To cause to cease operating; turn off: killed the motor
Abortion is depriving life, putting an end to, destroying the vital essence and ceasing the operation of a growing fetus. And they are still proud to wave that flag.... God their stupidity amazes me. This is driven home but another of their buttons that read "Abortions on demand, no apologies" This gives the misconception that women are getting aboritons for the hell of it, not keeping in mind the side effects of one (Even two abortions can cause a woman never to get pregnant again, it is a brutal procedure.
And finally, the one about depriving rights to young women.... As far as I know minors are... for lack of a better word, property. They are their parents property, if they don't take care of them, run away etc, they are the state's property (Minor's who ditch school are picked up by the police and put back in). In othe words they have no "rights" or "freedoms" in the way adults have them. Parental Concent laws are for minors who want to get an abortion. Disguising them as "young women" is bullshit. if you are younger than 18 years of age you have little to no say in many things, you can't drink, vote, drive (15 and under in the U.S and Mexico anyway) and of course major surguries. So if "young women" want to get abortions without parental consent why not let minors smoke and drink too? Again, stupidity at it's finest.
In closing, I'm all in favor of keeping abortion legal because I'd rather have a certified, trained physician operate the procedure than an illegal butcher in some back alley "clinic". The health of the woman is the concern, it is a health issue, hence a state issue.
But when they come out with crap like that talked about above it only pisses off conservatives (as you can tell hehe), makes them look stupid, and keeps this non-issue a "big" issue in the minds of the public. And now I retire to do my readings. Thanks for listening. Now I can focus.
