Holy crap! As if I didn't have enough aggravation today, I decided to subject myself to this entire thread from page1. HAHA...where's that thread that asks if solo makes me 'emotionally unmanageable'?
OK....I'm too tired to go through this thread again with the multiquote.
So here's some shit off the top of my head.
Basically, as far as the pic itself goes, I think it is rather absurd that an likeness of Moz along with his lyrics are being used in a Pro-Life advert. Given his women's rights stance I think it would be safe to assume that he is Pro-Choice.
I do notice that trend where pro-lifers condemn abortion but are completely fine with capital punishment. It's like they're saying 'all life is sacred' in one breath and 'unless you piss us off' in the next. Little hyprocritical I think.
The statement that the Catholic Church doesn't condemn homosexuals, just homosexual acts is the biggest f***in copout that I have heard in a while. How does this work?
"We're not saying that you're going to hell for who you are...just what you do." The Catholic Church is the biggest hypocritical, unrealistic organization that I have ever heard of and continues to amaze me.
Statements like "if you aren't ready for a child, don't have sex" are great if you're living in a f***in bubble. But since that is not going to happen... maybe we should deal with life on life's terms. Sex will happen. As well mistakes and unplanned pregancies. I'm all for contraception but if that does not work, other options should be available and not in a back alley, illegal shop where the woman is risking her life to undergo the procedure.
As far as whether I support abortion. Well, from a personal perspective, I'm adopted...so I would love to see a woman put the child up for adoption if she didn't want to raise it. Cuz we all see what a perfectly well-adjusted individual I've turned out to be.
But I still fully support the woman's right to choose. I would love to say that it was only allowed in extraneous circumstances such as rape, incest, violence, etc...but then where do you draw the line? Severe handicap? Autism? Color-blindness? Wrong sex? Society as a whole can't regulate this decision as there are just two many factors involved in each particular situation. It sucks that there are people out there who certainly use abortion as a method of birth control...going through procedures like they were going out of style and that is unfortunate. But there are extremes in every situation and I really believe the it's a decision that must lay solely on the mother.
OK..I don't even know what I wrote at this point...I was just too heated and felt the need to rant. *deep exhale* ahh, better.
