Quote of the Day 8-14-09

It’s about time we stopped calling anti-abortion terrorists “pro-life.”
… A pro-life person opposes war because war kills innocent civilians. A pro-life person is a vegetarian because eating meat takes away the life of an animal. A pro-life person seeks to reduce the number of abortions in this country not by murdering people, but by encouraging people to use contraception.
A pro-life person respects the life of the pregnant woman, and recognizes that her life in progress is more valuable than the potential life of the fetus….
… If they eliminate abortions through a campaign of terrorism and intimidation, all that will result is a higher rate of “back-alley” abortions resulting in two deaths instead of just one….

Posted there:
The term “pro-life” and “pro-choice” refer exclusively to the abortion issue, which is why, if you were to poll pro-lifers on capital punishment, war, vegetarianism, etc., you’d find a great myriad of answers.
If you really want to play this game, Alexa, then the obvious response is that your side should be called “pro-abortion” rather than “pro-choice,” since most pro-choicers are not pro-choice on everything. Are you pro-choice on drug legalization? Prostitution? Owning a handgun?
Let’s say you’re still with me here, and have answered “yes” to everything. Are you pro-choice when it comes to rape? How about abusing one’s wife or husband? Shooting your next-door neighbor? Child pornography? I know I’m not pro-choice about ANY of THOSE, and certainly hope you are not — but if you are indeed “anti-choice” on those things, then you yourself are a “hypocrite” and are “labeling yourself falsely” (by your own definition).
