"if you're not pushing for legislation or change in the law, then what is your point, exactly, in discussing this on a political forum?" - - - - You speak of human right issues and I believe if progressives are humanitarians then it should not begin at birth.
And do yourself a favor and try coming up with an original idea of your own if you don't agree with something other than "besides reading right wing propaganda."
Honestly, try doing some reading. And I don't know what else to call it when you repeat right-wing propaganda that has no basis in fact. I'd say the same if you were pushing creationism -- it's simply made up. If you choose to believe it on faith, fine, but don't expect a good reception among people who value informed opinions and reasoned debate. Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
The school of fish political commentary simply shows you are uninformed and like I said have no original ideas of your own.
I just get upset when people resort to political labels of any kind. It is worth replacing "republican propaganda" with what you actually mean. Particularly since I have never been a member of the Republican Party now or in any prior lifetimes (to my knowledge).
frankly that's fairly insulting, I've attended abortions, I've spent several months studying the morals and ethics of abortion during my degree, and you're more informed on the grounds of one half baked anecdote? Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Heh. Don't flatter yourself by thinking you've done any more than repeat stale talking points poorly. At most, you've mildly annoyed some, and greatly amused me, for which I'll give you credit.
What I'm glad about is you've revealed yourself and I'll know in the future to take your assertions with a grain of salt.
