Pro-Life Extremists Contradicting the Term ‘Pro-Life’–Again

Started by menstrualpoetry · 10 months ago

The term “pro-life,” for me anyway, is quite simple. Using such a direct term leads people to believe that pro-lifers are all hooray for life. They think life is rad, that it should be cherished and that everything deserves the right to live their lives. This should ... Continue reading »

  • I've always wanted to know... what's so great about babies anyway? I mean, of all the life to be pro-, why babies? They're loud and messy and I notice we've got plenty of 'em around already. It's not like they're endagered or anything. So why not animals or refugees or rape victims? Why not end this stupid war that's taking lives? If you're going to be an activist, why not try being pro some life that really needs your help?
    What's so damn enthralling about human babies that these guys just gotta shove their heads up some woman's skirt and take her body away from her without so much as a by-your-leave? I think they're disturbing- freakin' panty-sniffers.
    Also, I notice none of these fuckers are volunteering to care for the babies they want to force women to have. My opinion: if you don't have a uterus, you don't get to be in charge of any. If you do have one, you get to be the boss of your own and that's it.
    *shakes her head* They should call the group "Bombz for Baybeez"; at least be up front about it.
  • It can really go either way - I'm sure you've met a few pro-choice people who are also active members of PETA...While I see your point, it really bugs me that people think its okay to destroy an innocent baby with a heartbeat but eating an egg (with no heart beat, brain, or other signs of visible "life") is murder.

    There's a lot of hypocrisy out there on millions of subjects. Last night I watched "downsize this" where Michael Moore's going out & talking to corporations - yet he still uses their products, rides in a gm car, etc. etc.

    It's hard to be "perfect" in this screwed up world we live in :)
  • This blog entry perfectly describes the frustration that both my husband and I have dealt with regarding these so-called Pro-Life idiots. I could go on an on about this issue, but I think this has summed it all up rather nicely! GOOD JOB!
  • Pro-lifers, huh? A group of them set off a bomb at a Planned Parenthood clinic (although THAT location did not even DO abortions), and that clinic was exactly blocks blocks from and on the same street as MY BABY'S DAYCARE. They are so pro-life but they would detonate a bomb five blocks from a daycare!! RIGHT!
