Thread: Simple question

Would you say that most pro-lifers are bitter male Republican woman-haters who want to punish them for making a mistake?

EDIT: The same Republicans who hate people of other races etc., i.e. people who differ from them in superficial ways?

Nah. They're just people with a very strong conviction that I don't personally share.
I don't oppose them because of that, but I do oppose the methods they embrace.

Based on what I've seen, it's more likely to be "you are a slut and need to be punished for your sins" than anything else, even when it's women that oppose abortion.

I don't oppose them because of that, but I do oppose the methods they embrace.

What methods are you referring to?

This is what liberals think of having children... Punishment.

I think the pro-life movement is diverse. I think for every republican that "hates" people of other races, there is a democrat that "hates" people of other races. Republicans don't own "hatred". "Hatred" is evenly distributed among the populas.

Thier position is not complicated, it isn't exclusive to males, and certainly isn't directed at any race.

It is simply that they believe life begins at conception.

Think about how you might feel about some historical slave owners killing slaves whenever they feel like because to them slaves aren't people, they're property. They could slogan about "a master's right to choose".

That's how most pro-lifers feel about people who perform or go to get an abortion.

I disagree. It's "life begins at conception" based on what I've seen. I don't happen to agree, but that's the impression.

What methods are you referring to?

I'm at odds with most of the tactics they use to promote their cause, but my main gripe is their insistence on Federal bans, which would violate the Constitution. I'm a big fan of the Constitution.

The only hate I'm seeing here is your hatred of republican males.

No, I just support protecting the innocent from the depraved and reckless.

No.

They just believe life begins at conception.

I don't personally hold these beliefs, as I believe it will cause more problems to try to prevent it, but I understand why people are pro-life.

Your "simple" question (and EDIT) begs another simple question (and EDIT) - do you normally ask idiotic questions or was this one special???
