Wow. How insightful. Your answer to someone who questions your view automatically means that he is a "Republican" or some Right Wing religious fanatic. And you actually use DKos as an authority. That's deep. I've been showing my son the comments coming from this post and he is astounded by how little people know or, more importantly, want to know. SO now, not only to you agree that it is okay to make satirical remarks about my son, you are also calling him a right wing fanatic. Keep it up Jerome. What I initally posted was the question if anyone saw the hypocrisy between such passionate humanity toward a convicted murdered and none toward an unborn fetus. What I got was posts that called me or my son a liar, calling us right wing fanatics, calling him "unwanted." All I can say is that the people who chose to use this to defame either of us should now question their own morality - seriously. Especially you.

I'm not sure exactly who you're writing to. We're all discrete individuals here on this site, so I would appreciate if you can actually respond to individual commenters rather than allocating all comments posted here to an anonymous you or to me, Jerome.


And you actually use DKos as an authority. That's deep.

I pointed to a story about how some Republicans are lobbying to limit all forms of contraception, and how they are discreetly supported by Republican candidates. The story uses as material a story form the Baltimore Sun and a study from the very same Guttmacher Institute which you quote yourself elsewhere in this thread. I write on DailyKos all the time. I read it all the time. I quote articles that provide relevant information and/or commentary. I wonder exactly how the story I posted fails to past any reasonable smell test in terms of credibnility of its content (as opposed to the gag reflex the site it is posted on seems to generate for you).


SO now, not only to you agree that it is okay to make satirical remarks about my son, you are also calling him a right wing fanatic. Keep it up Jerome.

So I'be curious to see where exactly I accused you of being a Republican (is that an insult for you, now?) or a "Right Wing religious fanatic", and, even more specifically, where I made any such comments about your son.


What I initally posted was the question if anyone saw the hypocrisy between such passionate humanity toward a convicted murdered and none toward an unborn fetus.

The passionate humanity is not to "convicted murderers" - nice try. It is among other arguments directed at the fact that not all people convicted are actually guilty (as the long string of cases in the recent past has shown). It is also about us - we think that democracies should not kill people, whatver they have done, because it means we are little better than them - killing for revenge. It says nothing about what we think of murderers, convicted or otherwise, guilty or otherwise. But no, you have to reframe the argument in a much more convenient way.

Same thing about an 'unborn fetus' - unborn immediately suggests alive, something which is quite disputed for at least a big chunk of any pregnancy. And, of course, it fails to take into account the woman that carries the fetus. Where's the care for her?


All I can say is that the people who chose to use this to defame either of us should now question their own morality - seriously. Especially you.

Who is "you"? You seem to have surprising difficulty to understand that we are individuals, not some kind of amorphous collective entity. I am the spokesperson of noone, and neither are they spokespersons for anyone else.

And do you see me questioning your morality? I see you questioning mine. Please don't.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
