Can you help me make sense of this?

The right has limited the chance for millions of women to have an abortion, but now wants to severely cut (or eliminate), aid for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

If I understand what I've read, the right says you have no choice, you will carry the fetus to full-term and we will make sure you and the child starve.

What is this insanity?

It's a war on women. End of story.

@LordShadowfire It's a war on keeping babies safe.
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@Anton Nope. Go ahead and Google "woman forced to carry stillborn fetus to term", and then tell me this isn't a war on women.
Anton · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire So, you are telling me the baby (who's life is actually at stake here) isn't even considered in the equation?
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@Anton I wasn't aware that newborn babies were being killed.
Anton · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire I am talking about babies that are not born yet and still in their "mother's" wombs. FFS, Why do you always want me to spell it out for you? Here:

LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@Anton in order to be condescending, it's necessary for you to actually know more than the person you're arguing with. Otherwise, it just makes you look like a fucking idiot.

Is this a person?
Anton · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire I am not a doctor, but IF that is an infant baby, it is a baby.
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@Anton It is clearly not an infant. That is an embryo. But I asked you a question. Is it a person?
Anton · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire It is a person indeed, IF it is the infant stage of a baby in the womb. The Bible never calls a baby a "fetus" or growth or sack of jelly or a blob. God calls a pregnant women a"mother with child".
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@Anton Again, the infant stage is after it is born. I wouldn't keep harping on this, but you were very condescending to me while apparently knowing nothing of the birth cycle.
Anton · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire Yea yea yea. Pissy. I may no nothing about birth cycles and cutting those funny little strings doctors snip off after the baby is born, but a child is a child whether it is in a mother's womb or out.
Anton · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire If it makes you feel better, I am condescending to everyone, not just you. At least I smile when I am condescending to you and not masking ugly faces like when I am condescending with others.
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@Anton I mean, I can be condescending, too. But my point is, you don't seem to understand the life cycle. There's no such thing as an infant still in the womb. (Well, I guess toward the very end of the third trimester, you could call it that, which is why nobody is actually in favor of aborting them at that stage.)
Anton · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire As you know my point of view is Biblically. And I can't shy away from that. All this scientific crap makes no difference how I see and experience life. And no, I am not better than anyone else or holy or even pretend to be. I just see the Biblical viewpoint of everything as truer than sciences etc

Of course not. Why would you? That would be logical and rational.
[quote]All this scientific crap makes no difference how I see and experience life.[/quote]
I find that absolutely tragic.
Anton · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire You know what is tragic? This girl being a drawing and not real...
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@Anton Now you're trying to distract from the point. I take it that means you're conceding the debate?
Anton · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire I just don't see the point, we are running around it circles.
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@Anton I'm just waiting for you to prove that there's such a thing as an infant at 2 weeks into the pregnancy.
Anton · 56-60, M
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@Anton Is that what your uncledaddy and sistermama taught you in homeschool?

@Anton You know what I don’t understand is why pro abortion doesn’t scream “ kill the rapist and pedophile “ instead of “ kill the baby “.or on their part, at the very least in addition to the innocent baby.




They constantly say we have to allow abortion for women who are raped but never bring up the rapist. I recently asked this question. The response was some innocent men are falsely charged and imprisoned. I would never want an innocent man charged for a crime they never committed. But they have a breakdown if we question a woman’s motives . It seems like they would “ NEVER “ question her, but our motive is “ war on women “ instead of trying to protect the most innocent vulnerable victim who are in “ no way responsible “ for their father’s crime
Anton · 56-60, M
@missyann I couldn't agree more. They always bring out the 1% extreme cases to valid their stance on the matter. In my opinion they are more concerned about their own selfish needs and desires, ie: to live the way they want to (sexually) without consequence and what ever comes in their way of doing just that, they would go so far to the extreme as to kill. In this case, their own children. I feel and share your pain. But things are about to get worse, no doubt. Just shows you how far down the drain these people really are mentally.
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
@Anton 1%, my ass. And even if it was only 1%, it would be one out of every hundred. Do you comprehend that?
