re: #349 albusteve

abortion is one of the oldest, most contentious subjects at LGF…it’s all been discussed before…you have your petty ‘victory’, but it is neither original or profound, for some people it’s just another game played staring into a monitor…HAIL!

Oh of course, and I understand that

I have no problem with people who are arguing honestly about abortion, who have an honest belief that life begins at conception. It’s a philosophical distinction. When I argue, I argue about the politics around abortion, I argue about the legal implications of banning abortion or calling it murder (every miscarriage suddenly being a potential homicide, etc)

Now, researchok is not being honest, he’s claiming he’s pro-choice as a rhetorical tool to defend the gop and claim that the GOP isn’t limiting rights

The issue was not so much abortion as the issue was this: Is the GOP anti-choice?

And he wants to run interference and whitewash the GOP.

And you’re correct in that it is a bit of a game played into a monitor. Some people come here because they want to be part of a community, some people come here to argue. I came here to argue politics, that’s what I do here. If I’m not supposed to do that, what’s the point? If you don’t care about the argument, hey great. But I do, the politics and the legislative ramifications around choice and around medical procedures and health in general is a thing I care very much about, health care is my biggest political issue, more than anything else
