Abortion prevents parenthood. They're definitely linked.
But your health will never be directly affected by the laws you support in this case.

No. What are you implying?
LemonMelon said:
Yeah, I get what she's/you're saying. I just wish she would have told me that straight on instead of attempting to make me look foolish by asking my gender.
Really, cut back on the sarcasm, people. This isn't a pissing match, it's supposed to be a discussion about Mike Huckabee's political positions.

So do I, especially young men.
You know, most of the leaders of anti-choice organizations are men. Is it a control thing?
Like I said. A collection of cells has more rights than I do, according to you.
It is. One you both share.
But your health will never be directly affected by the laws you support in this case.
I wasn't implying anything. I was merely curious, because I tend to find it odd when men put this issue at the top of their issues list.
Maybe you should cut back on making silly assumptions?
LemonMelon said:
Assuming that someone who's been on this website for 6 years already knows my gender and is using a rhetorical question is hardly a "silly" assumption.
anitram said:
Honestly, I haven't really noticed you at all on this site and I hardly venture off a couple of boards. I had no idea what gender you are, I have no idea where you live, how old you are, or anything. I've never had any kind of conversation with you, PM or anything else personal I can recall. Believe it or not, I have a busy life and don't make it a habit to make a note of everyone's details around here.
Dreadsox said:So are women who disagree with you somehow misguided?
Just curious. How do they fit into your world view?
Are women only allowed to voice an honest opinion about this?
LemonMelon said:It's a fair enough question, really. I just think many men take moral offense to it, which is what causes them to get so bent out of shape over it.
Me, I just get bent out of shape when I'm being pegged as a "let the baby live, and if the mother dies, she dies" type, when that's not what I am at all.

But I enjoy reading and learning about his stance on the issues....I do not feel it necessary to poll if someone is male, female, gay lesbian ect to get their opinion.

All you have to do is make sure to only knock up an anti-abortion chick and you're all good for all the parenthood you could possibly want.

But there cannot be any middle ground. You will be labeled as a fence sitter.
It is black or white in FYM with no shades of grey.....
anitram said:
Well, good for you. I absolutely feel that on this topic, viewpoints do differ from the point of gender. Surely there are women at FYM who have had an abortion - I think their feelings will be different than mine as a woman who hasn't had one and different than a man's who will never have one.
I wasn't polling him in order to evaluate his opinion, I was merely curious. There are a number of times you've asked questions that I didn't think are necessary to extract a person's opinion - I just don't generally see what the value of pointing such a thing out would be. To each his own.
LemonMelon said:
Concerning this issue, yes, it's pretty black-or-white around here.
And you're not wrong that certain opinions simply aren't tolerated around here...sometimes that issue just makes me want to say "fuck it" and not even bother, since I know I'll just be attacked for being in the FYM (which is roughly 98% liberal) minority. Still, there are a lot of great people in this section that are just very vocal and very serious about their opinions, which I can respect. It's what keeps me coming back.
Dreadsox said:
I am not sure what keeps me coming back....LOL
Dreadsox said:
Should we have a standard to value one opinion over another?
LemonMelon said:
You're drunk. You must have stumbled in here by accident.
anitram said:
No, but honestly I think you're almost arguing in theory here, because I don't see anyone here who stated that we should have a hierarchy of opinions. Maybe I haven't read all the abortion threads (mostly they make me want to gouge my eyes out), so it's possible it's popped up and I haven't seen it.

Frankly, sometimes I wish you would say "fuck it". I thought you were a pretty cool guy until I encountered your ridiculous posts here. Never would've guessed you were one of them, really. Now that's somewhat impacted how I think of you.
