I’m not making her anything at all, genius.
The choice is hers, genius.
The choice is not yours, genius.
Really, the fact of the matter is, it’s none of your damn business at all, genius, so why don’t you butt out, genius.
But if it’s really that important to you, genius, why don’t you go to her bedside and convince her that bearing the child is the right thing to do.
Because, outside of that, genius, you have no course of action at all, genius.
Yes Im genius enough to know that you are pro-abortion and want to punish an innocent child that God created for something a rapist did, seemingly claiming that it is therapy for the victim of rape and she will feel much better ...
Another splendid example of why libertarian nonsense ought not to be confused with the rich tapestry of actual conservatism.
There are literally thousands of people in this country who, as you suggest, attempt to peacefully persuade pregnant women, who are initially inclined to abort, NOT to abort. Often, but not often enough, they are successful. They are called "sidewalk counselors" ad they try to convince women entering the abortion mills. Last minute "saves" so to speak. In sports terms, leaping into the outfield stands with outstretched glove to spear what would otherwise be a home run for the abortionist and his/her master below.
Whether to rob a bank is a choice of the perp. So is whether to mug an old lady and whether to act in defense of another. All "choices" are not created equal.
The sidewalk counselors with whom I am privileged to be acquainted would not agree with the thrust of your libertarian "do what you please" argument. When their persuasive efforts are unsuccessful, they suffer and blame themselves for failing. When they succeed, they give that victory to God as His own and thank him for the privilege of being useful to Him.
Your real argument is contained in YOUR OWN WORDS: "Really, the fact of the matter is, it's none of your business at all, genius, so why don't you butt out, genius." After that statement, you have no standing to claim to be pro-life or to whine about others' accurate observations that you are a pro-abort, whatever fantasy it may please and comfort you to believe otherwise.
I often have disagreements with some of those whom I have pinged to this post but agree totally with those who have correctly labeled you a pro-abort.
Now you may return to your Planned Barrenhood fundraiser.
Jim Noble:
My answer to your question is that I would vote for the bill you describe while making plain that I am coming back at every opportunity to further improve the law by outlawing each and every other abortion. To do otherwise is to fail to save those who can be saved by law and to fail to come back to outlaw the earlier abortions is to abandon those younger babies. Thus to do otherwise is to fail morally.
Here is a good thread for you to explain more of your thinking, on abortion exceptions.
