I can debate facts, and I enjoy the company and stimulation of doing so with my fellow Freepers. I don't really see the point, though, of being abused by people so caught up in their passion for a cause — a good cause — that it's nearly impossible to explain the need for verification of sources.

I have every idea that the people who are attacking me and several others are good people, but this situation is becoming unpleasant. I am a long-time supporter of pro-life organizations and a Christian conservative.
I treasure the rough-and-tumble and sometimes hilarious Freeper posts. It's been good, but when emotions trump facts and proof, I'm gone.

This "verification of sources" is nothing more than a red herring.

The original contention by Age of Reason (and your posts defended this) was that if the woman didn't have an abortion, it wasn't rape.

I am a long-time supporter of pro-life organizations and a Christian conservative.

I've been doing pro-life threads on Free Republic for a long time and I've been on THOUSANDS of them. I have a really good memory of who participates on these threads (especially the ones who stand out for a particular reason) and I don't recall EVER seeing you on any of them.

I still find it very peculiar that you won't answer my two questions:

1. Can you give a single reason why a woman would cheat on her husband, have a rape kid done and then GO PUBLIC with the story?
2. Do you believe that the pro-life movement is somehow so unscrupulous that they would fabricate a story about a baby conceived in rape?

The first question is asking you to play devil's advocate and provide some reason for her to put herself more at risk of being caught for having an affair by going public with the story. The second is your opinion about whether the pro-life community would make something up to push an agenda.

As I said, I've been through this stuff thousands of times and I've found that a very definite pattern emerges with people who refuse to answer very straightforward (often a simple yes or no) questions.
