The Republican Rape Platform

[peplaw06]

1% of all abortions occur as a result of rape or incest. This whole argument from the left is a red herring.

As are the bulk of the "issues" that the two parties bicker about.

How many women are pressured or guilted into keeping the child when told it's "God's Will"?

How about rape pregnancies that result in adoption?

Percentages as they stand now in a society who's opinion is so varied isn't likely to be a true indicator of reality. I saw a PubMed article that estimated the pregnancy rate at 5% in rape cases, resulting in 32K pregnancies per year.

This all thrown on top of the fact that rape is severely underreported by victims.

But even if it was only 1%, so what? We just tell victims of sexual assault to go fuck themselves because there aren't enough of them to matter in our eyes?

Come on.

 

[peplaw06]

Not what I'm saying at all really. I'm saying the left is demonizing the right for their perceived insensitivity regarding abortions in the case of rape/incest -- something I actually think should be legal -- when it's really not a blip on the larger picture of abortion.

Hell even in this thread SP was trying to paint with the broad brush that any woman who votes republican must be a moron, because of the comments of a couple of idiots re: rape.

Liberals are now the party of reality because they favor baby murder.


Got it.

They want to protect the right to choose to kill their babies, even up to the moment before they are born.

But hey, you want to choose to drink a large Coke. Fuhgedaboutit!!!!!!!!!

I would wager most intelligent people without an agenda would agree that life begins at conception. I have yet to hear any other convincing argument that life begins at any other time. Does something magical happen to a fetus when it goes through the birth canal?

lol speak for yourself.

'Life' begins before fertilization. Ban fapping!

lol You get attached to a smear of cells without brain or spinal cells.

 

[peplaw06]

According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, conception is after fertilization.

Really weird how libs love to kill babies.

 

[superpunk]

Lets make this thread less about our individual unimportant views on abortion and more about how republicans hate women making decisions for themselves.

I'm not a liberal or how do you reconcile my support of the death penalty? A collection of 100 cells without any semblance of a nervous system is no more a baby than a load in Jenna Haze's face.

There is a reason why there is a discussion about trimester development and the like.

Red team gave up on trying to get the female vote over a month ago. They are pretty much banking on white men entirely. Can whitey carry Romney to the WH still?

It's also a separate being, not just part of a womans body like the pro-abortion's try to pass it off as.

 

[VA Cowboy]

But truth of the matter is that abortion isn't a legit issue. There's no way it's going to be overturned by the courts. And if by some chance it is it will be left up to the states and you can take it to the bank that states like NY and CA among others will always have legal abortions. This issue is just the left pandering to mostly single women trying to scare them...like they usually do.

Right that's why this isn't just about abortion, because that's not what planned parenthood - the organization Romney would like to destroy - is all about.

Being? I like existentialism. I do not think that something that lacks even a nervous system has consciousness or being. Thus we come right back to the development discussion.

He isn't trying to destroy them, just defund them. They can still exist with private funds. And guess what? Women will always have plenty of Drs offices to go to for heath care.

Yes, it's a developing baby. Why is that so important to destroy?

Yes defund an organization that provides millions of young women with birth control and cancer screenings! It's good for America, at least the America where we don't give two shits about young women.

It's interesting. The number of Americans that associate themselves with a particular faith are the lowest ever. At the same time the fundamentalist Christians are out in friggin force like we have no seen in 50 years. It's much easier to proselytize children and even better if they are plaed via christian orphanages. Mormons are all over that shit.

Planned Parenthood is primarily about abortions. Cancer screenings can be given at any womens drs office. I don't need my tax money going to fund abortions.
