Welcome to Gaia! ::

Very eye-opening, thanks for posting!

It comes to show that a lot of pro-lifers aren't really as prepared as one would think- that there's the focus on "god", religion, "morality", and pictures of ... not even fetuses. stillborns and miscarriages, more than likely.

Maybe most of the so-called pro-life women aren't as "pro-life" as they think they are.. afterall, pro-life IS anti-woman, and it truly is weird, strange, and unjust to think about imprisoning and punishing a woman who has an abortion. The girl with the glasses is PSYCHOTIC for thinking so precisely that a woman can serve a lifetime sentence in jail for aborting an unborn fetus. Then again, they treat women who have abortions as children by default, as ignorant, innocent, uninformed, etc and that is patronizing. It seems like a comforting feeling that they can show a little sympathy to aborting women, but it is still patronizing. That women who abort can earn sympathy just as long as she pretends like she was innocent, ignorant, and victimized by the whole experience- "post abortion syndrome".

"post abortion syndrome" is just a made-up disorder brought on by contrived fear, shame, and guilt that Christianity imposes on women who deviate from what the Bible's "ideal" of a female *should* be.

Thanks a lot again, for showing the video.

I'm more scared of the assholes who actually think women who abort need to be punished by the law than the ones who merely patronize the women.

I have seen it before, and it shocked me a bit then. How can you fight so hard to illegalize something and not give consideration to the consequences of doing it anyway? It seems a bit...short-sighted.

However, it'd also be short-sighted to take this as a representation of pro-lifers as a whole. While I think the question asked in the video is one that all pro-lifers should be asked, even if just of themselves, the video is still biased, and quite clearly so. Doesn't matter if it's for "my side", I believe in truth, not just painting the other side with the same brush and calling it a day, y'know?

Whether or not we like to admit it (because, oh, isn't it easier to believe that pro-lifers are just ignorant, uninformed, or crazy?) there are many pro-lifers who do think out their stance and do their research and all of that. And even if their priorities piss me off something fierce, it's worth acknowledging.

It's as if there is a block in the brains of lifers everywhere that just forbids them to think logically at all. Seriously. What the hell?
