re: #185 reine.de.tout

.What? I’m frankly beginning to wonder if your real problem is that you are bothered that a lowly woman like myself, who holds a different opinion than you, will not properly recognize and submit to your obviously superior moral position and arguments.

.

My problem is with people who do not engage in the criminal methods of antiabortion jihadists, but share their goals; such people comprise the ocean in which such terrorists swim. The way to ascertain whether or not you are one of these people is to answer one question: If you had the power to wave a magic wand and ensure that abortions were never again performed, even though many women would continue to desire them, would you wave that wand?

.I already explained earlier what it is I do, and have every right to do - I support in actions and words those efforts that make it possible for women to make choices other than abortion. Do you believe those efforts are not worth supporting? Can’t follow (or respond to) your conclusion that I want to possess the gift of mind control.

.

I consider the work that you do to render it more feasible for women to choose to carry pregnancies to term to be laudable and praiseworthy, because in such cases, you are not dictating their choices, but enabling them to possess a wider array of them.

The mind control point is that if you could remove from all women - without their consent - any and all desire to choose abortion, so that while the option remained open, it would never be exercised, would you do so? Or would the fact that such a nonconsensual removal would be enslaving and immoral deter you?

.So - now I am like those right-wing loons who murder, as well as Muslims who support jihad? Sala - where are you getting this?

Antiabortionists who would not personally commit antiabortion crimes but devoutly desire that edicts be passed that mandate that all women be legally forbidden from obtaining abortions remind me of Muslims who would not personally commit jihad but devoutly desire that a global Islamic caliphate be established where all knees are constrained to bend to the mullah-communicated will of Allah.
