Note: The slogan was originally posted to FR by Renfield. Islander7 created the graphic. I've merely taken the initiative in publicizing it. It's so good, it may well be the "Sore/Loserman" of the 2008 election.

I would guess that many of us who are pro-choice (loathe the tired “choice-life” terminology) were nonetheless moved by Sarah Palin’s heartfelt and principled decision not to abort her Down’s syndrome child, revealed to the world yesterday during her initial campaign appearance. It reminded me of something about which I have been ruminating for some time: The preeminent social issues – gay marriage and abortion – are quite separate. Lumping them together, as is often done by the media and by ideologues on both sides, is insulting to our intelligence....

Then why don't you honestly describe yourself as "pro-abortion" or "pro-death," Roger?
Awesome! I love it!
Well, we can discuss homosexual marriage and abortion as separate issues. They are separate. I think that the media types tend to lump them together because the same people who favor abortion on demand tend to favor homosexual marriage. The media types like to take a list of things that social conservatives are concerned about and go down that list and put them together.
Don't use it then. Say what you mean.
Pro-abortion.
Anti-abortion.
Just take the armed guard service provided to the abortion industry away from them, and it will collapse like a house of cards.
I think it would be more accurate to say, "There would be no legal abortions."
A couple might slip through, but the doctors face some real risks in a state of total freedom (regarding this particular issue).
Our position is simple - We want to abort same-sex marriages.
I agree. However, there will always be women who are pregnant but don't wish to give birth, so there will always be some abortions, either self-induced or assisted. Making abortion illegal will cut the numbers massively, but if making murder and rape illegal hasn't eliminated those crimes, I don't think it's reasonable to believe that making abortion illegal will eliminate abortion.
Just totally privatize the entire business ~ both the pro's and the anti's.
That'd end the practice.
You seem to be suggesting that anyone who wants to should be given a pass to murder abortionists or women seeking abortion. I think that’s oxymoronic and also wrong.
WINNER.
“twin girls brought to our family by my son Raphael and his partner Phillip. These beautiful girls were conceived in vitro and carried by a birth mother.”
The mind boggles. Creating babies in a test tube so a couple of self involved gay men can experience fatherhood? And when these two men split up, and statistically that is highly likely, who gets the child? This insanity is going to make Solomon’s wisdom pale.
I think it’s safe to say that by correctly realizing that human life beings at conception and that baby fetuses are persons (human beings), then the STATE has an obligation to PROTECT THEM, their rights legally, (including their right to life)! When we finally start to advocate this fact (and use the legal arguments necessary to correctly defend/descrive the life that hang in the balance, then we will be on the threshold of winning! (To the Glory of God, and for the safety of the children), so lets stop using the media/liberal/set-in-stone for 30 years terminology to describe the abortion debate!!
That's how it was done. Even our Founding Fathers followed the custom.
Why should abortionists be the only ones empowered to walk away from a murder without any legal repercussions?!
