List of people likely to be Pro-Choice
======================================

Womanisers:

Abortion has meant the end of male responsibility. Thanks to
abortion these people get what they want without incurring any
obligation whatsoever. With legalised abortion they have it
better than ever before.

Men generally (yeah, them people that feminists hate):

Again, all men being as above (rapists) abortion allows them to
get whatever they want without incurring any obligation on
themselves. And people are led to believe that abortion empowers
women.

KKK, Skinheads, Neonazis, and other assorted racists:

That's right... With the abortion rate for black women a
staggering three times that of white women, and the rate for
hispanics twice that of whites, abortion is certainly furthering
the goal of white domination.

Mysogynists - people Pro-Choicers wrongly characterise
Pro-Lifers as (the "barefoot, pregnant in the kitchen" types):

Clearly the purely utilitarian view by mysogynists of
women-as-cattle is achieved through abortion. Why would
mysogynists want women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen:
pregnancy spoils their fun. A much better picture for these
types would be: barefoot, had-an-abortion, and in the bedroom.
Only with abortion has such an ideal been able to be achieved.

Hack doctors:

Abortion requires little or no surgical skill or expertise, nor
does it require any specialised medical knowledge on the part of
the abortion "doctor". Legalised abortion has allowed the hacks
and incompetents in the medical profession a way to earn an
honest living when previously they were roundly condemned by
society and relegated to their "back-alleys".

But what if the condom fails? Look at all the Choice For Men
advocates on this NG (generally, the male pro-choicers) who
demand the right not to be fathers if the contraceptive fails
and the woman ONLY chooses to have the child.

Clearly, thanks to abortion, they're off the hook anyway - which
is all they care about: to get what they want without any
inconvenience to themselves.

Gee, well of course it doesn't. It's a reference to the view of
feminists who view men as rapists. I expect most people here
would have recognised it.

But here's some quotes from feminists that hold that view, in
case you need to get up to speed with things. Nice of you to
already admit that they don't make any sense.

"All men are rapists and that's all they are" -- Marilyn
French, Author, "The Women's Room"

"I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse
occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her
own genuine affection and desire." -- Robin Morgan, MS. Magazine
Editor

"Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized
expression of contempt for women's bodies." -- Andrea Dworkin

"In a patriarchal society, all heterosexual intercourse is
rape because women, as a group, are not strong enough to give
meaningful consent," said Catherine MacKinnon in Professing
Feminism: Cautionary Tales from the Strange World of Women's
Studies.

"And if the professional rapist is to be separated from the
average dominant heterosexual [male], it may be mainly a
quantitative difference." -- Susan Griffin "Rape: The
All-American Crime"

"The institution of sexual intercourse is anti-feminist" --
Ti-Grace Atkinson "Amazon Odyssey" (p. 86)

Good to know what some of the most vocal proponents of abortion
- the radical feminists - think, isn't it?

Again it seems to me you're just playing the idiot.

It's a reference to the pro-aborts on this NG who characterise
pro-lifers as trying to "enslave women". Which is exactly what
the abortion culture has made of them: sterile utilities for the
pleasure of womanising men.

Yes, no doubt you would actually accuse the law itself for
causing the actions of those quacks when abortion was illegal,
when in fact the law is there to protect women FROM those
people. And it did, once upon a time, before they had an entire
industry and its teams of lawyers to back them up.

Scum like that were chucked in jail straight away before. Now
they'd be unlucky just to get their license revoked by the
medical authorities, let alone any real punishment.

What was it Al Franken said?

"The truth is, I've known many feminists over the years, and I know

years."

Or men as tools of sex-crazed women. It's a two-way street, and serves
no rational purpose.

Well, look, it's an artificial point. You say that legalizing abortion
creates quacks. Well, with abortion legalized, quacks who would've
made a killing at back-alley abortions now are out of business. Now,
with abortion legalized, women who want or need the procedure can go
to regulated, legal, healthy clinics.

Yeah, snip them wacko-feminist quotes and brush it under the
carpet. Not surprisingly you would be ashamed to have freaks
like that on your side.

We will always get at least as much from sex as they do. That's
equal - never the street going the other way. (And women don't
control men; that would be simply how he prefers it...)
Everything else goes "our" way: women will always have to have
the violent act committed against their own nature; and we
won't.

Of course feminists view sexuality as entirely one-way as it is.
This is precisely what feminists realise when they see abortion
as their only way to "get even": to get in control of the
consequences that only _they_ have to face. Read those quotes
again to see the context in which those feminists view abortion:
their utterly degenerate view of (hetero)sexuality. Of course
abortion is just an empty, despairing "solution". Which is why
it's promoted almost exclusively by the kind of women with
nothing at stake.

No, they're already there. Legalised abortion has created an
industry for them (and I'm sure some back-alley abortionists
were medically qualified. They were the ones that charged the
most.) I didn't say it created them.

> Well, with abortion legalized, quacks who would've
> made a killing at back-alley abortions now are out of business.

You may not call them quacks but I view all abortionists the
same way that many, many people do: with contempt. It's an
insult to real doctors - who deserve our respect - to compare
them to these assembly-line abortionists.

Even legally, abortionists are merely masquerading as doctors;
devoted to destroying the unborn as quickly as possible to
maximise profits, instead of saving lives and healing people.
Yeah, that's medicine. No wonder they're viewed with relative
professional contempt by the medical community.

Regulated? Healthy? You don't have that assurance any more than
anyone else. You must know that the abortion industry fights
tooth and nail against efforts to have regulatory standards for
abortion clinics raised to the same level as any other type of
medical facility. Therefore: why do YOU assume they are so safe?

The pro-choicers in this NG also consistently oppose enforcing
the same health and safety standards for abortion facilities.
But, they'd pathetically characterise that as protecting a
woman's right to choose - as if it were truly threatened by
enforcing the same safety standards for abortion "clinics" as
for any other surgical facility. Then they will, quite
naturally, turn around calling them safe and regulated.

Most "abortionists" are ob/gyns; abortion is not usually a main part
of their practice.

OK, give me one way in which abortion clinics are regulated LESS than
"mainstream" medical clinics and hospitals.

Don't you think you're generalizing just a tad? I consider myself a
feminist and yet I don't view men as rapists. You shouldn't stereotype
feminists just because a few out-spoken ones seem to have this view of
men.

Just because they are the most vocal doesn't mean they are representative
of all feminists. Besides, I'd rather hear radicals spout off their
crazy beliefs as opposed to them shooting the opposition. At least these
radical feminists aren't crazy enough to go shooting sprees like those
that have occurred in Florida and New York in the name of the "Pro-Life"
movement.

OK. Give us a reliable figure for the number of partial birth abortions
performed in the US and tell us the source. Medical facilities are
required to keep records and counts of all other surgical procedures
except for most types of abortions including partial birth abortions.
And as Bill said, the info is hidden under the guise of protecting
women's privacy. The truth is, the abortion industry doesn't want the
information to come out so people like Bill Clinton can continue to say
they see no problem with partial birth abortions given the small number
that are performed.

I didn't realize you had a problem with therapeutic abortions. IDE abortions
for any other purpose is illegal and statistics in most states are required
by statute.

Now, how does your reply answer the question of clinics being under less
regulation than other medical facilities?

If PL extremist A says that a zygote is a human being from conception
on - and that women should stay in bed after sex to increase the
chances of implantation - and PC extremist B says that a fetus is a
clump of cells as long as the umbilical cord is not cut, then almost

I see.
You think that YOU can control what women do to their bodies,
but of course, "that's different". Sure.

You mean like the one your mother should have gotten?

CAn't be predicted, since the main causes of maternal death,
hemorrhage and embolism, can't be predicted, nor can they
be prevented. And since a woman with a risk factor has no
reason to say why, and since we don't keep track of reasons to
abort early, it is impossible to say.

But since so many children are allowed to die, why do you
care so much about unwanted fetuses? Do you prefer to let
children suffer and die instead? Why?

I guess I'll say it again. There is nothing moderate about the
destruction of something no one can prove is not human life. And of
course, you're sitting there saying to yourself that no one can prove
that it is, which, in the final analysis, is the exactly basis for the
pro-abortion position. No one can prove that it is life, on the one
hand, and on the other, poor women have to undergo such incredible pain
and inconvenience in allowing the pregnancy to complete naturally.
Gosh, it's a no-brainer, isn't it. Destroy something no one can prove
is life or suffer what has become the intolerable anguish of pregnancy
and childbirth (there was a time when it was a joy). Women have
walked (not been led) down a path to where they just don't have the
character they once did have. Life is full of choices.

There's nothing new in your ignoring that you and your colleagues are avoiding
the proof you _should_ be providing -- it's human, and it's alive, but is it a
person? Custom and society say it is -- once it's been born. You're saying
it's a person from the moment of fertilization, but you give no proof of why
it should be regarded as such.

Have fun flailing at your strawman, Terry, because I've seen a whole three
people come through here in the last ten years who really were pro-abortion --
the rest of them are pro-choice. If you want to muddle the discussion by
using your personal definitions, that's your prerogative.

It's easily demonstrable that it's life -- so? So is a tumor, but I don't see
you out there campaigning for rights for tumors. I wonder, though -- what
about those poor women who _choose_ to go through that pain and inconvenience?
I'm pro-choice, and despite your illusions, I support their choice. Seems to
me that someone who really _was_ pro-abortion wouldn't support a woman who
chose to carry on through with her pregnancy.

Ain't that the truth...and guess what: you don't get to dictate them for
anyone else. Maybe that's what's twisting your knickers, eh?

I guess then that nobody is a moderate, since everybody is guilty of
destroying _something_ that is provably human life.

I never said the fetus wasn't human life. It is human fetal life, but it
is not a baby, person, or human BEING in the early stages of pregnancy.

I never said the fetus wasn't living. It is living, but it is a non-
sentient, living entity before the brain and nervous system have
developed.

So then it's a no-brainer that supporting the death penalty and the
military is extremist since you are definitely killing human lives in
those examples? I wonder what kinds of life do you support? Only
human life? How about plant and animal life?

P.S. I'm not sure if your a "Christian" Pro-Lifer or not, but if you
are, do you know why God asked Abraham to sacrifice his baby (who was
even sentient and living physically independent of its mother) instead
of his wife? If not, then feel free to disregard this question.

If you mean that taxes I pay are used to pay for abortions, then you're
right. And I will do everything I can to change that fact. Other than
that I don't know what you're talking about. But then again why should
I be any different. You don't know what you're talking about either.

Pro-lie disinformation. Taxes are not used to pay for abortions.

No, I refer to the billions of cells you have killed. Skin cells,
blood cells, gametes, muscle cells, etc. All provably human life.

Ithink that human being begins not at the conception but when the baby has
got a brain and can think, and if a baby can destroy his mother's life and
so itself, I think the mum may use abortion

Moreover I just recall you that abortion is a right and so even if it's not
used always as a good means it's illegal toimpeach it

I'm a little surprised there's no government assistance program
somewhere for the purposes of securing an induced abortion, although
it's definitely the case that the ultraconservatives would raise a
huge stink if there was, at the federal level.

Perhaps Planned Parenthood has a program...?
