"Forced Pregnancy Activists!"

Sep 05, 2007 14:28

Pro-choicers have many endearing terms for pro-lifers, the newest of which in my repertoire is "forced pregnancy activists", which I recently found at Feministing, a feminist website where the answer to everything is to tax everyone to a beatific 64% "for the children" and increasing the nanny state in everyone's life-not actual nannys, mind you, ( Read more... )

Well, telling a pregnant woman she cannot have an abortion forces her to remain pregnant so I think we can all see where it comes from but it is nonetheless amusing. "Forced pregnancy activists" makes it sound like we're a bunch of men out raping women to make them pregnant. That's what came to mind when I first read that term anyway! O_o

Well, then, I guess by being against mothers killing their three year-olds, we are also "forced motherhood activists". :P

Ironically, pro-choicers also wish to force Catholic hospitals to do abortions and pharmacists to fill Plan B.

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day

friend: well if you're against abortion don't have one. I don't see why you won't let us do what we want. (choicers are a collective?)
Me: I'm not against it because it's wrong I'm against it because it's murder
friend: well why can't you just let us murder then...
Me:...

um....we're both against GLBTQ violence we're part of the same GSA we participate in ending GLBTQ violence but maybe we should stop, you know WE won't beat up any gay people but what if someone else wants to? Oh no! We're Forced Equality Activists!

more of that "logic"....

Like saying one who advocates a minimum speed limit on the interstate is into "forced driving".

Also, no one can force someone to stay pregnant. The baby will come out sooner or later whether mom likes staying pregnant or not. If pro-life really wanted people to stay pregnant, we'd look into research to lengthen gestation to, oh, about 100 years. Not gonna happen.

So my reaction: Whaaaaaatever.
