If any of these people believed it was actually killing a child they'd be demanding free access to contraception. They'd be trying to ban fertility treatments that kill hundreds of babies per person per session. They'd make it a criminal offense to pretend to be a doctor and tell people not to use condoms or birth control like the crisis pregnancy centers do.

If only there was some way to ease his pain of deciding what to order pregnant women to do.

I love it when guys say they don't believe a woman should have access to birth control or abortion. It simply reinforces my choice of never dating them.

Cherry Pop Culture - 2012-11-02 I thought that was just an urban legend? I wouldn't be surprised you're right.

At this point, the GOP platform needs a "Rape is not that bad" plank.

(I can't top the above comments, but)
Kosterian Argument Against Abortion:
Premise: They go out
[fragment, unsatisfactorily understood, or false start]
Premise: American incest/non-incest ratio is very low
[Koster apparently intended that the ratio was so low as to be negligible in any practicable moral system]
Premise: There exists a woman who:
-was raped
-became pregnant
-chose to deliver
-believes abortion should be illegal
-is known by John Koster
Premise: abortion is an act of violence on a woman
Premise: a fetus is a type of innocent child
Premise: Crime entails consequences
(it is unclear whether Kosterianism intends 'consequence' as merely causal, or both causally and morally)
Conclusion:
Even at best, abortion has no utility in ameliorating or countervailing rape, and has negative utility per se.
Apparent corollary: In a trolley-problem scenario where only a pregnant mother or the fetus in question can be saved [but not both] , there is no utility in the government choosing which to save, as it is a situation of equipoise.

Anytime a Republican male politician begins a sentence with "I know a woman...", just wait for it.

Is Rape Thing similar to Swamp Thing?

Gojira1000 - 2012-11-03 Of course not. Swamp Thing was DC, Rape Thing was Image. Durrr.
