I need to really learn not to read the comments....

http://www.cad-comic.com/

I decided to take some of the polls on Facebook, and came across one titled

"Why do people who are pro-abortion refuse to see abortion for act of Murder that it is?"

the answers that came with the poll were as follows

A) They think the baby is apart of them so they can do whatever they want

B) They have no respect for human Life

I personally think it's a bit of both, and other things thrown in as well.

well I decided to read some of the comments, big mistake

some of the following is copy and pasted from the poll, tell me what you think of these "smart" people

A woman K.G:

If the right wingers got their way to return to illegal back room dangerous abortions, they would next attack a womans right to birth control. Heck they already do so with their fights against full sex education that includes information about birth control. Then there are the pharmacists who have refused to fill birth control prescription because of their religious convictions. The overturning of Roe V. Wade started with a Supreme Court ruling regarding a state law that put a woman into prison for diseminating birth control information to married women. This occured in the 1960s. Ultimately, what this is all about is the right wing religious leaders wanting to control when and if people have sex.

1. being pregnant and giving life to a child is difficult and not for everyone. It can threaten the womans life. As a result, I and my government does not have the right to tell a woman what to do with her body.

2. Because it doesn't have brain wave patterns beyond the basic needed for autonomic functions until the 24th week, it's not an individual human. These are the same brain wave patterns that doctors use to diferentiate between a coma, brain damage and complete brain death. The decision to end life support should be between a patient via their living will if they have one or that person's nearest family based on what they think that person's wishes would be.
 
A Man K.R:
I'm pro-abortion... Why spend money on tampons every month that you throw away when you can use the same coat-hanger every 8 months?
 

((How can anyone be so disgusting? -Daphne Rose))

A man P.S:

Why do people shoot that abortion is murder of the unborn while they call the murder of the already born in our wars as collateral damage? I know of no fetus killed in my name or my countries name. I can think of thousands of living children killed in our name by our government.



Would seperating one who is on life supprot from it be considered murder? For if they cannot live without the artificial support of such systems, do they really have life? For, in reality, without the artificial support of another they have no life of their own.


Although I PERSONALLY disavow the practice, hence I do not participate, nor is it in my grasp or pervue to stop it. Our wars on the other hand are quit a different senario. Stopping the killing of the born first, as it is in our grasp. Then personally find a solution to each and every unwanted preganancy in your community. Teach and live personal responsibility to all. Sadly abortion, like war will never end. Illegalize war first.
 
A boy K.D:
 
Who said it was human? That thing is about as human as that growth on your dad's back.
 
A Man D.D:
 
Heh. I say abort all the babies.
 

((Smart one D.D if we went by your advice, guess what, you wouldn't be here... -Daphne Rose))

 

A woman P.S ((she has two GREAT ones))

 

Wow. Why don't you take your beliefs and go shove them right back up your ass? I don't want this shit shoved down my throat just because you believe your beliefs are better than everyone else's. There's a thought: Why not let women do what they WANT to their bodies? This is America, is it not? This means we have the RIGHT and ther FREEDOM to do what we believe is right and if a teen mother or a rape victom decides they can't have this child, then let them get an abortion. Who are YOU to deny us that right? Are you God? No, I didn't think so. So go crawl back to the hole you crawled out of because as far as I'm concerned, you're just a piece of shit anyways. Thanks you and good day.

 

and

 

No, women who decide on getting an abortion are not playing God, they are doing what they think is best for themselves and their unborn child. Are you going to say a woman can't get an abortion because YOU believe its wrong? Who the fuck cares if you think its wrong or not? It's not YOUR descision and nor is it your child.

 

 

I know everyone's entitled to their own beleifs, but........ some of these responses are.... wow..... I don't think there are words in the human dictionary for me to describe them. I wanted to respond on Facebook to some of these responses, but decided it would be better served here (and I can say it's my turn, since Lysander did a couple of blogs about abortion on his main blog).

 

first off, I'm Pro-Life, but I can see where there can be exceptions and only on RARE occasions, would I look the other way, so to speak.

1.) If the child was the result of Rape and or Incest

2.) If the Mother's life was in danger

3.) if the baby, if born, would NOT have any sort of chance to have any kind of "Normal Life"

 

any of the other reasons, No. if you had the fun, you need to take responsablitly for it.

 

and since my exceptions make up something like 4% of all abortions out there, they are kind of rare (right Ly?)

 

anyways

 

To K.G.

Okay, that's when the Brain starts to work, but guess what, the soul is there once the sperm meets the egg. That's when the life begins. that "Full Sex Education" you're talking about, has the GOVERMENT (though the D.O.E) telling our kids about birth control, is that what you want?

 

and I believe you said something about LIVING WILLS, well here's what wiki-pedia has to say about AHCD's

 

Advance health care directives, also known as living wills, advance directives, or advance decisions, are instructions given by individuals specifying what actions should be taken for their health in the event that they are no longer able to make decisions due to illness or incapacity. A living will is one form of advance directive, leaving instructions for treatment. Another form authorizes a specific type of power of attorney or health care proxy, where someone is appointed by the individual to make decisions on their behalf when they are incapacitated. People may also have a combination of both.

Guess when you find out you're pregnant, you'll have to get your baby a lawer and have it create one of those things, Health care by proxy is another LEGAL document. and you're calling it a person, I thought it wasn't a person till 24 weeks when the brain is active...


To K.R:

that's just disgusting

To Man P.S.

Oh yes, lets ILLIGALIZE war, let us bend over and TAKE IT FROM EVERY ENEMY THE UNITED STATES has because oh we illigalized it, guess we'll have to send in the cops and arrest them for committing crimes. guess what buddy, they called Korea a Police Action (it was a WAR) they called Vietnam a Police action (and I have it on GOOD Authority that it was a WAR also) WARS AREN'T FOUGHT WITH POLICE. and to END War in today's climate is just asking for one of our enemies to wipe us all off the face of the earth, now I know the next words will be harsh, and I'll repent for them, but some people well, I won't shed a tear over the loss of them, but I don't want my FATHER'S sacrifice, and every other AMERICAN SOLDIER, MARINE, AIR FORCE JOCKY, and SAILOR to go to waste. you ask for the impossible buddy, it won't happen.

to K.D:

so, are you as human as that thing on your dad's back? I mean, you were once that small too, is it right for you to call yourself human, and not that? a soul enters the body at conception, so thus starts the cycle of birth, even though it's still developing, it's still Human. Human's can't give birth to animals, or aliens, so naturally it's human, regardless of the stage of development

To D.D

again, if we did what you said, guess what you wouldn't be here


to woman P.S:
Remember the childhood rule "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all" remember other people are ENTITLED to share their Opinions on the subject at hand. says so in the constitution (read it some time). And no one is FORCING you to read what others have to say, no one's sitting there with a gun at your forhead forcing you to read what's on the computer screen, so how is it forcing it down your throat?

You use rape as an example, okay, I'll allow that one, but what if some woman gets pregnant because she was sleeping around and forgot to use a contraception or the morning after pill (shudder) and thinks oh, this way I can have a sure fire way to get rid of the bloodsucker? is it right then when IT'S NOT THE INNOCENT LIFE'S FAULT for HER MOTHER'S LAX MORALITY ISSUES WITH HER BODY?

and how do you know that the child doesn't belong to the person you're replying to, if I remember Sex Education it takes a MOMMY EGG and a DADDY SPERM to make a child grow. are you denying the father rights to claim the unborn child? Shouldn't the FATHER have the right to say we're keeping this child or not? I should say so, but what do I know, I'm just a right wing nutjob with a gun.

in like minded thinking with my Fiance, NO where in the Constitution of the United States, does it grant the FREEDOM for Abortion. though I do recall 10 absolutes that one is "THOU SHALL NOT KILL"

I have a high tollerance for "Stupid is as Stupid Does" but these responses I just had to get this out. If any responses to their "answers" seemed insulting, I didn't mean to come across that way, just wanting to put my two cents in (before the goverment takes it away)
