Reply #7: Do You Really?

Wow.

An entire stream of the usual -- and totally unsupported -- accusations against -- who is it that you are against, exactly?

You appear, to me at least, to have some issue with people you refer to as "pro-lifers".

Who, exactly, is it that you are talking about?

Are you talking about those poeple who feel that minors should first notify their parents before they can get an abortion?

Are you talking about people who feel that it is somehow just not quite right for a perfectly heatlhy woman, whose pregnancy 0poses not risk to her life or her health, to abort a perfectly healthy fetus in the eighth month?

Or are you talking about people who support the right of a woman to choose abortion, but who would do everything they could to notify her of other possible options, and to support her if she elected an option other than abortion?

You say, for instance, "And BTW, most that oppose abortion are NOT against the death penalty"

Most people that "oppose abortion"? Does that include everyone who does not "support abortion"? Do you "support" abortion? Are you "pro-abortion"?

And, even if we could agree on exactly what is meant by "most that oppose abortion", how can you support your statement that "most who oppose abortion" are "NOT against the death penalty".

Do you have a link to provide us which shows both the number of people that clearly shows the number of people that "oopose abortion" and also shows the number of people that are "NOT against the death penalty"?

Or perhaps you yourself have conducted a focus group or two on these subjects? Perhaps you'd care to share your methodoolgy and the results with us?

You say that you find the term "pro-life" to be offensive -- incredibly offensive and arrogant.

Why?

Because, you say, "It's a...trick to...use (a) word (to) demonize (others)...and just like with the flag -- you've stolen either a word or a symbol to use for your political agenda."

Have you ever considered the possibility that the term "pro-choice" might be incredibly offensive and arrogant for precisely the same reasons?
