Debate

I was told in a meeting by members of the York Federation of Students that debating abortion is comparable to debating whether a man should be allowed to beat his wife.

Yes, it is. And they are on the side that is comparable to wife-beaters: the side that is the enabler of the rapists and perverts.

Once again, the Pro-abort libs reveal that they are the ones who are afraid of debate and who wish to suppress freedom of speech.

Should have been clearer: I mean to say that the Pro-aborts are the enablers of the bad guys here, not those who are pro-life.

This hurts my heart.

No surprise from our sanctimonious,self-righteous and smug neighbours to the north, who don't for a moment think they could be wrong. I know them well since I am one, to my shame.

This comes as no surprise is you recall a certain John Quincy Adams who was forbidden to speak about another "off-limits" topic. Just as Adams defied censure and death threats to keep slavery a topic of debate, pro-Lifers will eventually win out. Because if they don't, the "peculiar institution" of modern life will claim victims into the billions.

LMAO @ the smugness of this board. Look, every group has limits on what it believes permissible discourse. Even the Catholic Church.

Until "Pro-abort libs" racked up the body count of religious anti-abort convs, your smugness is a tad hypocritical.

This hypocritical attitude regarding free speech and abortion is sadly present in the great American Southwest, too. About a decade ago, I tried to start a pro-life club at one of the public universities in Arizona at which I was a student (we were not able to garner enough interest to start it), but when I would try to advertise for our organizational meetings, I would receive very hostile responses (flyers torn down, electronic posts calling us "anti-choice," etc.) and I doubt if we would ever have been able to get student organization funding like the other clubs. But, our campus did see "Mr. Condom" and his basket of goodies every Valentine's Day and the school-sponsored (read: tax-funded) health center on campus regularly used our newspaper and facilities to promote promiscuity, birth control and Planned Parenthood! There are many souls being led to misery on our college (and even high school -- but that's another post...) campuses. Perhaps we can all pray a Rosary for our students today.

OK, I'm confused. I was all ready to cheer, here. Are they actually saying that they weren't allowed to debate abortion because NOT allowing abortion is similar to ALLOWING a man to beat his wife?

Correctomundo my dear Joanne, that is exactly what has been said. We are wife beaters if we don't allow women to rip the child from her womb and throw it away (or even more disgustingly) use it in futile experimental research.

I think I am going to be sick.

debating abortion is comparable to debating whether a man should be allowed to beat his wife.

And he said this not of his own accord, but he was high priest that year...

(David B. is right on.)

Let's give it up for yet another example of liberal "tolerance" and "diversity," folks. Of course we're in favor of tolerance and diversity--as long as you agree with us.

I'm inclined to sponsor a wife-beating seminar at a nearby university and see if the consensus of my opposition is "Don't even pretend to consider letting him talk" or "Let him have enough rope to hang himself; we have nothing to fear."

What's free speech for nowadays, anyway?

Until "Pro-abort libs" racked up the body count of religious anti-abort convs, your smugness is a tad hypocritical.

...Have you even LOOKED at the number of dead, viable infants? (I'm going to assume you wouldn't consider a non-viable baby as a "death," even though that's a moving goalpost.)

Have you even LOOKED at the number of women killed as a side effect? True, this is a bit harder, since many states ban this by law, and it's often reported as simply "complications."

Your ignorance is simply astounding.

UAB,

LOL,

Of all the things anyone (who knows me) could accuse me of having been hypocritcal about in the past (to which I sorrowfully confess), you have found one of the few upon which I have never been a hypocrite. Congats!

er "Congrats"

Don't type with food in your mouth. Friendly warning to all...

*******YAWN********
same boring one note over and over and over again. Yipee! You're all for abortion. Ho hum. Then again you weren't aborted, so who cares about those coming down the pike? Religion equals violent/ athiesm equals good. OK, now that I have summed up every stinking post you have ever inflicted us with, can you please, please, please, come up with something...heck...anything original? Your schtick, like your prooftexting psuedo-history, is old and so very tired.

Who's that trip-trapping on UAB's bridge?

The Wannsee Conference was similarly one-sided.

Ooohh, I know Scott W., is it 'tiny yapper'?. Maybe... 'Loopy'?
