than you are spouting RW forced-birthers propaganda.

Supporting restrictions on abortion simply means you (generic) do not support 'Her Body, Her Choice'. You (generic) support castrated and bastardised version of it, one that say 'You will do as *I* want, *I* have a right to dictate what you do to your body, because *I* said so'.

Interesting. Let me roll that around for a while. Smarmie Doofus Nov 2013 #1

I need you to be a bit more clear in what you are saying. I'm not understanding. nt boston bean Nov 2013 #2

I cannot think of a way to express it more clearly. redgreenandblue Nov 2013 #5

Perhaps: being pro-choice and believing in the value of a fetus are not mutually exclusive The Straight Story Nov 2013 #6

Really? Or was it 'Don't force your beleifs on me, by supporting restrictions on my Right to Chose'? idwiyo Nov 2013 #9

The vibe that I have been getting here is that regardless of whether the opinion is voiced, redgreenandblue Nov 2013 #11

not.true... boston bean Nov 2013 #13

Not true at all. People who believe they have a right to restrict my choice idwiyo Nov 2013 #18

You misunderstand the meaning of "intrinsic value" in these discussions, then. ancianita Nov 2013 #15

Please explain what is it you think I don't understand. idwiyo Nov 2013 #19

I say that you use this word to mediate the pro-/anti-choice conflict without defining it yourself ancianita Nov 2013 #20

So what are YOU saying -- there's a third stance? ancianita Nov 2013 #8

I am saying that redgreenandblue Nov 2013 #10

It's your fallacious assumption that we all agree on the definition of "intrinsic value," and ancianita Nov 2013 #14

Then, any question of "intrinsic value" should have no bearing on pro-/anti-choice abortion issues. ancianita Nov 2013 #16

A fetus doesn't have the same meaning for everybody. LuvNewcastle Nov 2013 #17
