So, in response to something awful that Donald Trump said yesterday, a group called "March for Life" issued this press release.
Which is bullshit.
No Pro-Life American Advocates Punishment for Abortion
Um, since when?
“Mr. Trump’s comment today is completely out of touch with the pro-life movement and even more with women who have chosen such a sad thing as abortion,” said Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund. “Being pro-life means wanting what is best for the mother and the baby. Women who choose abortion often do so in desperation and then deeply regret such a decision. No pro-lifer would ever want to punish a woman who has chosen abortion.
Okay, I don't know you and I don't know anything about your organization, so I will assume that what you say in the above paragraph is an honest representation of your particular stance on abortion and punishment. But you are honestly going to sit there and say that "No pro-lifer would ever want to punish a woman who has chosen abortion?"
Have you met any other "pro-lifers?"
It seems to be the position of the "pro-life" movement in general that abortion is the moral equivalent of infanticide.
They make no moral distinction between aborting a zygote and murdering a toddler.
And you're going to sit there with a straight face and tell me that people who believe that a woman has just murdered her own child would not want to see that woman punished? None of them would? Really?
Here's a discussion I found on some website called IGN or something:
What should the punishment be for getting an abortion if it's outlawed nationwide?

Should the woman pay a fine? Go to jail? Get charged with first degree murder? What sort of punishment fits the crime moving foward to you if abortion suddenly becomes illegal?

So, obviously your press release is a bunch of bullshit. Of course many "pro-lifers" want women who have abortions to be jailed or executed. Of course they do. How could they not? How could you possibly say "abortion is murder," and then turn around and say "that murderer should not be punished at all." It makes no sense.
Hell, this comment was posted on your own website as a response to this press release:
Maybe you don't support punishment for abortions, maybe your organization doesn't. But you are a small part of the "pro-life community" or whatever. It's like me saying "I hate walnuts. No middle-aged white male doesn't hate walnuts." It's total bullshit.
Yeah, what fantasy world are they living in?
ReplyDeleteand notice it's punish the WOMAN...it takes 2 to make a baby, what about punish the MAN????
ReplyDeleteand it ain't a human till it's fully baked.

ReplyDeleteBefore "Dick" Rump walked back his comments he was aksed if the man should be punished and he said, 'No.'
Now he's saying it's the doctors who should be punished.
Nothing has changed in respect to telling lies with Big Whore Media.
ReplyDeleteThis downtown Yorker prick brought this out dramatically and how long has it been.
Nothing changes and BWM continues the same without calling him out for his shit every time he spews some which is pretty much all the time.
And this is just one issue that takes it up the yang yang constantly.
When the American Taliban takes the White House the question of abortion will become irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteUnmarried women who engage in sex will just be honor killed by their fathers, uncles, or brothers. Wives who get pregnant will be put in chains out in the birthing shed next to the trash cans until the infant is born. No abortions necessary, easy peasy.
