"Pro-life and anti-war."

How come you never see these pro-life hypocrites raging against oil wars that kill thousands of unarguably alive people, while they obsess over the unborn? This hypocrisy should be shoved in their faces whenever they start spouting their love of life crapola.

They are just stooges for the fascist backed kulturcampf.

a bunch of pro-lifers there protesting. It was truly scary. They had big trucks driving around with all of these pictures of aborted fetuses on them.

I asked one of them, Do you support the war in Iraq? She said, yes. I then asked, Well then, how in the hell are you pro-life?

She told me that unlike babies who are being aborted, people decide to go into the military and fight, so it's a decision they make.

I told her she was full of shit and intellectually dishonest. She left and walked across the street to hold up her sign of an aborted fetus.

She is full of it!:crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:

including women and children, that are killed every day in Iraq? I would like to ask one of them, just once, how they can justify that, especially since some of those women might be pregnant. I heard someone on the news one time refer to that situation as "abortion by military".

then look for the facts to back that up. I think this is very true for these people. Most of them are very fundamentalist and thinking is not to be viewed as a virtue. No gray, just black and white.

the RWer's. I found this lovely quote yesterday on another site:

"I think these terrorist bombings could be significantly and rapidly reduced if we went assassination teams to kill every member of the terrorist's family. Then family members might start reporting their relatives to the authorities when they find out young Mudeeb is learning how to detonate bombs.
Yes, I do realize that means innocent members, including children, of the bombers would be killed. But I think it would save more lives overall than it would take, and it would be an effective method of reducing--maybe even ending--the bombings."

There are some people that you just can't reason with.

did come in contact with any trouble. I know the type well.

in Iraq. As far as they are concerned, there are only terrorists and our troops.

Cuz in 18 years we're gonna need that rugrat to waste us some A-RABS!

You and Swamp Rat have hit the nail right on the head. After birth, children/people are objects to be used for their ends, which of course justify the means.

They would have been the perfect followers for Hitler.

he's anti-abortion, anti-war, pro-stem cell, anti-death penalty, environmentalist, etc.

i may not agree with his abortion stance, but he's at least consistent - he wants to protect (what he sees as) life in every way possible.

then again, i suppose it doesn't hurt that he's a chemistry PhD'd professor at a liberal arts school.

:hi:

The church I was in back in the '80s fell into that camp quite nicely.

Pacifist, they had members chucked into jail in the '40s and '50s and '60s/'70s for not fighting.

Virulently anti-abortion, even if it meant the woman would die in or before childbirth.

protesting the war. David Bonior and Dennis Kucinich (he didn't change his position on abortion until after he began protesting the war) and the Pope to site a few prominent examples. I would be willing to bet serious money that pro lifers were no more positively disposed to the war in Iraq and the typical citizen was.

I love dropping that bomb into republican Catholics. I also love mentioning that Pope John 2 thought Bush was the anti christ. And come to think of it the Pope was for helping the poor and against guns and the death penality. Hmm whose being a cafeteria Catholic now?

I don't agree with his stance on choice, but I do respect that he truly does practice what he beleives... including civil rights for everyone, including gays. He is also pro-union. He also has -- and still does -- a huge amount of community social justice work.

So.... he's an okay guy overall. He got my vote.

are interesting I want to know why we don't see pro-lifers at anti-war protests. Stating a political position is one thing actively participating in opposition to the war is another.
