Good for you. It's a joke in liberal circles.

A joke based on false premises? Actually that explains a lot.

I was in a women's group with the pro-life and pro-choice women for YEARS. We never changed each others views but we came to find affection and respect for each other.

Is that possible with your side on this forum?

Of course, but did you continually misstate her position, tell her she didn't want women to have sex, and call her an American Taliban?

and you have mislabeled me a 'her'.....

[tailfins]

Yes, I said all those things and I've been paying for it all day.

Sounds like if it's up to you, I'd get a life sentence for it.

I'm willing to let you plea out with one day's community service. DON'T be a repeat offender or you'll have to work the phone bank at an abortion alternatives center!

[Wind Song]

You haven't learned those things about me:
1. Not true, I used "pro-abortion" in response to your hyperbole.
2. Not true, overturning Roe puts the decisions at the state level. Do you really think every state is going to outlaw abortion?
3. Not true, everyone will be able to voice their religious conscience when the states create their own rules for abortion.
4. Not true, I understand your position completely.
5. That was your characterization of PMP's position.

The deal around this place? We feel that women are wise enough to make proper decisions when the full ramifications of their, and their partner's, actions are taken into account.

1. I am not "pro-abortion".

2. Yes, I think if fundies have their way, abortion will be illegal in every state.

3 We will not be able to exercise conscience had have safe medical procedures when all states, (thanks to the fundies) outlaw abortion.

4. YOu don't understand being anti-abortion and pro-choice, which is my position.

5. ?PP is in his own narrow universe.

Hahaha. Hell is coming to a forum to enjoy yourself and getting sentenced by a lynch mob.

It explains how little humor the right wing has.

I shouldn't have to, but I'm going to state the obvious: Any statement I make directed at you personally should be considered a joke. If you take it for more than that, the onus is on you.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Thanks to anyone who can see the connection I'm making here

[fj1200]

You weren't the "her" in my post. Perchance I fail in bolding.

1. I am not "pro-abortion".

2. Yes, I think if fundies have their way, abortion will be illegal in every state.

3 We will not be able to exercise conscience had have safe medical procedures when all states, (thanks to the fundies) outlaw abortion.

4. YOu don't understand being anti-abortion and pro-choice, which is my position.

5. ?PP is in his own narrow universe.

1. OK. By protestation or by outcome?
2. They will not have their way. Paranoia is not a place from which to make policy.
3. See #2. Unless you think NY or CA will outlaw abortion.
4. Yes, I understand your position.
5. PMP explained his position very well.

[fj1200]

Or how the left wing needs to concoct stories at which to laugh?

You'd have to know Tom. He could say anything and make us laugh. He's the one who came out with the "sperm are people too".

Too bad you can't appreciate that we, (those dreaded liberals) can laugh too. Don't you see how ridiculous some of the pro-lifers sound sometimes? If I didn't laugh, I'd be crying in my soup.

1. I'm not pro-abortion. I don't get your question by protestation or outcome.
2. Fundies are getting their way quite a bit. They own a lot of media, and they have a ton of money.
3. Fundies seek the recriminalization of abortion and they won't stop until they get it.
4. I doubt it.
5. He's your pal, not mine, and that's by HIS choice. He said he could NEVER friends with any who isn't a hardline anti-abortionist. He is willing to acknowledge the humanness in his opponents.

All of the liberals in my Sunday School class, including a rather prominent one, laugh quite often so yes, I can appreciate it. Also, you'd do well to stop making assumptions.

But yes, I have seen how those who hold positions on both sides can be quite ridiculous. "I was against it before I was for it."

What assumption are you referring to?
