Indeed. Some people say, “I’m pro-life. Except...”

They simply don’t understand that there are no exceptions.

*********************************

Exactly right.

I don’t know what to say to your post except that it is ironic that you would accuse someone else of craving suffering in others.

Beyond that, I have nothing to say to you.

What is it that makes you crave suffering in others?

Where on earth did you get that idea?

I’m pro life, and against abortion on all cases.

Funny, I don't recall ever seeing you on a pro-life thread and I have a pretty good memory.

I don’t want the state to have the power to end lives because they’re inconvenient.

Are you aware that this case is about just that?

But I also know that people die. Every one of us. It’s merely a question of when and where.

Are you operating under the impression that I'm unaware of this?

I’ve seen post after post of yours for years now, where you seem to have some bizarre fetish not for prolonging life but instead dragging out the process of death— as if you must somehow extract every possible amount of suffering before the dying can be released from your torture.

Again, I don't recall you ever posting to me on any thread, are you just silently stalking me?

If they start to pass on they must be jerked back to suffer more, and more. It’s kinda horrifying.

Please find a single post that I have EVER made that suggests this? Please find a single post where I have EVER disagreed with the right of terminally ill patients to make informed decisions about DNRs and other end-of-life protocols.

How long do you wait to bury someone who’s medically dead? A couple weeks? A month? After all there might be some miracle and they’ll just suddenly sit up and start breathing again. Do you wait for them to actually smell bad?

Why don't you learn what this case is all about:

Hospital staff placed the child in the mother’s arms to die, but the child continued to breathe on her own and opened her eyes. After days went by in this fashion, the parents cancelled the DNR order, and the child later came out of the coma and became alert. Despite this, medical personnel wanted to reinstate the DNR order because they said the baby’s condition was still grave, but the parents would not agree.

This baby IS breathing.

But whatever... Please stop calling yourself pro-life.

I've been called plenty of things on here and anti-FReeper sites, it really doesn't bother me. Nevertheless, I don't recall ANYONE ever suggesting that I'm not pro-life.

Whatever it is you are, it’s something far different and frankly frightening.

So, opposing the wholesale slaughter of the unborn and the murder of the elderly and disabled is "frightening"?

Rather bizarre, isn't it?

I guess there are people out there who are anti-abortion, but not pro-life because they fully support euthanasia.

Yes, exactly. Being pro-life is much more than simply being against abortion.

And there have been quite a few on here who are anti-abortion, but still think it should be legal (i.e. nearly all of the libertarians).

Ah, yes, the libertarians. Such a fun group.
