I dont oppose abortion (we are overpopulated, especially with morons) but that is a really fucking dumb statement.

If you take her statement in context she's referring to women being injured and dying from unsafe illicit illegal abortions. Which is the point of many pro-choice people, including those of a religious confession. Overturning Roe v. Wade will make abortion illegal, but not stop abortion. Making abortion illegal and stopping abortion are totally different projects. Sort of like making drugs illegal and stopping drug addiction.

Illegal abortion. The rest of the quote: “When I think about all of the statistics that are painful of what women are confronting today in our country, and what even more women confronted pre-Roe and how many women died and how many more women were maimed because of unsafe abortion practices, we just can’t go back to that.”
Abortion has nothing to do with the Bible, with Jesus or with religion. It's also got nothing to do with male legislators.

Well, bearing in mind that The Bible makes absolutely no mention of abortion, it seems that she may have a point.

@hippyjoe1955 Is that your default position, dreaming about disposing of those who show you up for the fool you really are?
How very Christian of you.
How very Christian of you.

@room101 Just using the pro abortionist thought on themselves. The best way to justify mass slaughter is to de-humanize your intended victim. You are just a clump of cells unworthy of life and an inconvenience to me so I am completely justified to kill you. Just using your silly logic on you.
room101 · 51-55, M
@hippyjoe1955 So, not only do you know sod all about The Bible, you also know sod all about biology. And yet you have the audacity to use the word logic.
Well done moron.
Well done moron.

Anti-abortion people are not really pro-life. They use their rhetoric as a way to enforce a sexlife they deem appropriate.
The pope is against contraception. You guys here are against abortion. When you put the 2 together it's a no-brainer. The message is, sex should only happen when a heterosexual married couple intend to procreate. It's their way to say "you have been promiscuous. We're gonna punish you by making you have this baby against your will. That will also send a message to all the sexually depraved out there". That's really what they are after. It's not about pro-life philosophy. If they really cared about life we wouldn't have the death penalty mostly in religious states. For, it's said not to take a life you cannot create. Think again. Are you really pro-life?

@eMortal There is also a substantial difference between making a negative behavior illegal and stopping the behavior.
In American society we do a great deal to criminalize things but little to stop damaging behavior.
The abortion rate per capita is less now than it was the year before Roe (illegal backroom abortions). They key to actually *stopping* abortion, not just criminalizing it, rests in what happened to the lives of women in the generations after Roe and why.
The irony is that educating, capitalizing, and empowering women is what caused the abortion rate per capita to drop even with legal access to abortion through Roe... and often the most vocal prolife voices are the most vocal critics of those things.
So yes. Are we pro-life? Or as I'd phrase it... do we want to stop abortion or just make it illegal?

@FreeSpirit1 As opposed to twisting your religion to fit your worldview. The Bible does not mention abortion ANYWHERE. FACT!

It's sad how people hide their stupidity or criminal behavior behind beliefs and end up giving the whole group a bad name.

I guess someone pointed out to her that claiming abortion was good for the economy was stupid and she moved on to more dumb ass claims without vetting with someone who possesses a working brain first.
