Politician statement about so-called "legitimate" rape

Yes because its so much more nicer to slaughter millions of innocent babies.


I'm not saying what he said was right, we sometimes forget politicians are politicians and not specialists in any other field ...

But I still think anyone who is ok with abortion needs to really soul search for why it is ok to slaughter millions of innocent people.

 

Sadly, I often wonder if they really are all that out of touch =(

 

Correct, I agree -- I'm more simply stating regardless of what they should be, they aren't; ergo this isn't very surprising.

Although I did once read a study stating what he said is true in that in some rapes its so traumatic the body diverts the resources used to conceive in order to attempt to escape. Not saying I agree, simply saying I read something before.


Rape is a horrible thing. Don't make it even worse with abortion.

 

You don't need to understand experience, for experience is naught to be understood, but only to be experienced. What you need to understand is principle, the battle of life and death, and consequences that such actions can behold. I don't really want to stray too much into this because its off-topic, but I don't think abortion is ever acceptable except for when childbirth will surely kill the mother. Regardless of religious convictions, its playing God, and its anti Humanist/Evolutionist just as much as it is anti Christian.

 

I don't think it's even worth thinking about such people. Ignorance will always exist, dwelling on it only makes you miserable. Even if you actually dedicate your life to destroying these people's influence, other's will take their place.

Also, I don't want to start an abortion debate but my personal belief is that in such cases, it should be up to the mother. It's difficult to define what a human being is, it goes beyond the realm of science but I don't believe that life begins with conception.

 

Everything that politicians say is designed only for one purpose-- to market them to their target audience. I would probably take issue with the kind of people that such statements appeal to before I took issue with the politician making them.

 

Read the comments on some articles from some of the people who actually support him and his claim. Those are the people who should have been aborted. I have no issues with abortion, in fact, I also support retroactive abortion...

 

That's got to be one of those days that is just "good". I mean, you were carrying around all that baggage about being raped and were all moping around the house afraid to leave, and then you pee on that stick.. so, you're like...fug yeah! I wasn't legit raped!! *Whew* Post traumatic stress just disappears and I bet it's perfect weather too. Just one of those days everything goes right. You should probably stop by the casino on the way home from work, even if you don't normally gamble. I love days like that.

 

And just think of the birth control possibilities.
We just need to tap into that mechanism that prevents pregnancy in the event of rape and hey presto, population control achieved. Solving thorny budgetary, religious, and insurance issues in the process. But what if you don't believe in birth control and accidentally stop ovulation when you should be popping out eggs like a hen? Wouldn't that be immoral? oh dear...

 

Well...

I was taught through school that a woman's body will work against getting pregnant if she raped. Everyone's body is different so I don't know if that is universal. Obviously pregnancies out of rape happen. We also have to remember that rape can go down in a lot of ways - the woman may not even be conscious and her body may respond differently than if she were fully conscious. Anyway. I think it's just the idea that's being suggested here... like if you get raped and get pregnant that you couldn't reallllllllllllllllllly have been raped because your body conceived. Seems a bit ridiculous to me. Rape is rape.

As for the abortion issue, I don't know. I don't care one way or another. I know highly religious people who have had abortions because if they carried to term the mother would have died. I know others who have used it because they were idiots and didn't use protection. I am not a big fan of abortions when there are other options (adoptions for example) but I don't consider it to be any of my business.

 

So every time I jerk off I am slaughtering millions of people? Every time a woman has her period she is murdering a person? Because the whole thing is, the aren't people they're a bundle of cells. Until there is a brain there is no person. I am personally against late term abortions, unless its otherwise stated by the doctors that carrying the child to term will kill the mother.

 

But there is a brain @ week 6... 2 weeks after a missed period.

 

phew, well I tried... Im outta here! luckily I never have to make that decision.

 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? You have to have an opinion, and a strong one. Don't mess with my stereotypes!

 

I accept that I have no right to tell a woman what to do with her body. I sure as shit wouldnt want anyone telling me what I have to do with mine, thats for sure.

 

And an insect also has a brain, if not an even more developed one, but how many people stop themselves from swatting at one?

If you're in favor of killing things, be it a chicken, dog or human adult then it's complete hypocrisy to suddenly draw an imaginary line at a fetus.
