Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Feel free to correct me if I need to edit those other names.]

Someone told her this was contradictory. Caring about fetuses, but not caring about all thse other people's rights? Her response? "Reading Comprehension is your friend."

Seeing responses so cruel can be depressing. But talking about it with like-minded friends makes it feel a little better. So, post your "pro-life" hypocrisy, woman-bashing, and outright hateful ignorant nutjobs here!

Just DON'T NAME ANY NAMES, remember, because it can be interpreted as a call to harass that person.

EDIT: I stand corrected. She was trying to call us hypocritical, in a way, saying that we stand up for human rights except for fetal humans. She was trying to point out a major problem with the "mind your own business" way of thinking. I misunderstood. However, I still find it offensive that she would compare the legitimate suffering of thinking, feeling human beings to the death of a nonsentient human being.

EDIT 1/31/08: Apparently it is okay to post names from public forums, but not private guilds. After all, most of us know who the people are and where they said it, anyway, and they did say it in a public forum. Just remember that THIS THREAD IS NOT AN INVITATION TO HARRASS.

People spoke up and said slavery was right, that the bible approved of it.
People spoke up and supported segregation laws.
People spoke up against the suffragettes and the women's rights movement.
People speak up to deport illegal immigrants without a moment's notice,
seperating families, and forcing other's in jails/prisons.

Does everyone forget that Hitler spoke out against millions of people just because they practice a certain religion, shared an ancestory, or lived in a certain area.

LOL just invoked godwin's law. silly me

Just because you can open your mouth does not mean you are doing something 'right' or 'heroic'.

i agree with roserose...er... i think? It seems like what she meant to say was that she dosent have to speak up for all those other groups (i.e. being a straight woman, gay rights dont DIRECTLY affect me) but that she does because they're human and she's human ergo the reason she speaks up for the fetuses.

Of course, her comment about "reading comprehension" is kind of hillarious... "It's called 'clear communication' people!"

Edit: I am, of course, in no way implying that I dont speak up for gay rights. Because I believe that even if things dont directly affect you but you still see them as harmfull, even to others, you owe it to yourself to speak up. Which is kind of what the pro-life movement is all about and why I can't bash it in and of itself, Prolifers should exist. I do, however have a problem with the ones that are stupid and make their entire movement look bad, there are intellegent arguments for pro-life out there, it's just really hard to find one. [/rant]

(Just so you know, I've spoke to a mod about an issue like this, and if it's posted in a public forum, you have every right to use their name. I'd just refrain from doing so with quotes from a guild.)

And on topic, I feel this is disgusting. She stands up for humans, and I guess pregnant women aren't human in her eyes. She makes me sick.

It's a textbook example of good old fashioned fetus>than born people mentality. Throw in the fact that this person probably didn't read the post correctly and you get this lovely post.

And this is the same cuntrag who goes on about how that's NOT what the "pro-life" movement is all about.

She ******** disgusts me. Not many people can do that.

I saw that in the thread. Oops. redface

But in my defense, this same poster has said offensive and cruel things like this. That's partly why I misinterpreted her comment. She also phrased it oddly.

I loved that last wall of text posted about Fetal development..

From a freaking Christian University and citing a bunch of biased, Pro-Life links.

rolleyes

Get me some data from a group who objectively looks at both birth and fetal development from a NEUTRAL view, not one out to prove their "moral" points.
