“It’s a fetus after birth if we say it is!” seems to be working for the NYT, et al.  I really don’t know if most people are going to roll with the denial or if this will be a wake-up call.

“Edge said she regularly got upset during her work and couldn’t watch when Karpen allegedly killed the newborns. But she said she didn’t know that what he was doing was illegal.”

What the hell is wrong with people today that they base their morality on legality? TAT But heck, I already know the answer to that. Disgusting!

It’s not an excuse, more of an explanation for “why are people often so awful?” but if you’re interested look into the moral development theory of Lawrence Kohlberg. Most average citizens get to level four, which is basically “law and order” based—learning the rules, upholding them, expecting others to do the same. This isn’t bad as far as it goes, but the weak point is when a situation comes up where the law is not a sufficient moral guide or is at odds with the more moral choice. For instance, throwing a starving man in jail for ten years for stealing a loaf of bread—it takes someone from level five (a more complicated understanding of the social contract) or six (universal moral principles) to stand up to the injustice of that law and sentence.

I found this theory very satisfying because it explains exactly why seemingly good and decent people can so easily get swept along with atrocious injustices and just keep plugging away like, they know something is not quite right, but hey, the authorities and the laws say it’s ok soooo… It’s similar to the idea of “banality of evil” but less dramatic.

I think there’s also some kind of feelings of powerlessness at work here, tricking people into giving up their moral agency. Admitting how horrific it really is means confessing to having assisted in such evil. And when you have done that, you cannot go back. So when you call the authorities and they say “eh, we are looking the other way,” you are SOL. IMHO this is why we really, REALLY have to hold the government bureaucracy’s feet to the fire about investigating and enforcing laws against these hacks. We cannot rely on their terrified, often none-too-sharp underlings to turn them in.

Reblogging~ Because this pretty much sums up why we shouldn’t judge people coz common sense isn’t so common. I can imagine how the Jews and gentiles might have been when Jesus, Peter, and Paul talked about love and sex. If we were to preach, preach as if people don’t know anything about it.

*A* This explains so much!  Thank you~ I’ll go read that.

Higher Death Rates After Abortion Found in U.S., Finland, and Denmark | After Abortion

Research, Education and Advocacy Related to Post-Abortion Issues

Educate yourselves~ Read this older study as well “Abortion Four Times…

pfft~ So you are willing to pay the price for that acceptance? From what is happening, people are seen as bodies for sex more and more. You can’t deny a person their carnal nature. People have the tendency to objectify and abuse others more when they are given the “right.” If a child becomes a nuisance, get rid of it your group says. If a child is hindering you from having an enjoyable lifestyle, kill it! 

Have you looked at what happened in China and India? They have been killing their babies for a very long time. It’s the norm~ There is little stigma to it. The children have become a commodity. The procedure of abortion meant that the women can be used as sex objects without the ramifications(having children to take care of) that hinder business and selfish pleasures.

Are you sure that you would like to have that rampant in the US? You can be as optimistic as you want, but the things that results from this deathly practice(abortion) are predictable. Have you checked the country’s state of morality? Do you think that things will get better when they are lead to believe that murder is ok? 

You need to wake up, because that is what’s going to happen when pro-choice gets their way.

The fact that you completely ignored my statement saying that you use biased, inaccurate sources means that I’m right because you have nothing to come back with.
I know what happens in China and India. They’ve been killing their girl babies for a long time. That’s not about choice. That’s misogyny. Sex-selective abortions are performed more often than not against the mother’s will in those countries. It’s horrible.  That’s not a culture about abortions; it’s a culture about anti-women beliefs.

I have checked the country’s state of morality. It’s disgusting. There are plenty of children going to bed hungry and single mothers being shamed for keeping their children. All of the money is being funneled up to the top 1%, making less available for the rest of the American people to have access to affordable healthcare, educative reform, and social programs for the underprivileged.

You don’t fix those by shouting at the top of your lungs about abortion.

I would have so much money in hand if I get a dollar every time a pro-choicer ignores or denies a fact-based study when it goes against their own biased belief. I could build so many schools if I get a dollar every time a pro-choicer calls fact-based studies such as these biased just because they want to keep their “choice.” 

It’s funny how MILLIONS of dollars are given to abortion providers when they themselves could have given the money to children who are starving and lack the proper education… the problems people like you say pro-lifers should be responsible for. and that money from the women who get abortion~ where does it go? It goes to the top 1% as well.

It’s amazing how well the corporation’s and media’s mind control worked that most people today don’t think that abortion isn’t misogynistic too. The abortion institution lie about the dangers, lie about moral issues, tell people that a baby is called a fetus until a certain age, is outside the womb and breathing, encourage women to have abortion because it’s the only option they have, etc. etc. etc. Thank God for Operation Rescue and other Pro-life orgs that gives their services for FREE. Thank God for the post-abortion orgs too, although they are too late to save a life.

You don’t fix those by shouting at the top of your lungs that abortion is a good thing.

It’s funny that you know about India and China, but still think that abortion isn’t part of the problem. What killed those girl babies? Isn’t it those thongs and scissors and suction machines? You already know there culture—don’t you realize that abortion actually supports that belief and made it more rampant?

 

Are you done? Because you’ve yet to say something of substance outside of ‘I think it’s wrong so HA.’ in the face of me providing you with a study that backs my point.

we’re done here.

If that’s what you feel about it, then I might as well move along. I knew from the start that you won’t listen, but it’s worth the effort. People like you always dismiss ideas that are contrary to yours rather than delve deeper into them. It’s predictable. Even so, I will continue on telling the truth because other people will stop and listen. 

You cannot belittle or falsify what is truly right and wrong by calling it “what I think.” But then again, a lot of people think the same as me, and you will probably treat them the same. I’d be damned if I don’t share FACTS because most of us don’t talk as much and whine as much as pro-abortionists. 

I hope that you will accept the truths that I shared with you before it hits you in the face in the most painful manner.

and oh~ My mistake. The abortion industry earns BILLIONS of dollars per year.

beyondasleep:

this morning i was looking through a giant binder of community resources to find things i want to do as a school counseling intern next year, and i saw this in an “adult ally manual” for a dramatic performance-based sex education program. i have thoughts about this.

1. fuck a “Yes Means Yes motto.” when your (usually male) partner has created a situation in which you (usually female) feel afraid to say no, your yes does not really mean yes. and fucking NO MEANS NO. girls need to be guided on how to be assertive; if they don’t know how to say no when they really mean no, what the fuck are they going to say instead?

2. kids do not need us to be “sex positive,” are you fucking kidding me? teenagers are not adults. their sex lives do not mean the same thing that an adult sex life means. accounting for “various desires” and “opening up traditional definitions of sex” reads as “you can do BDSM, kids!” to me, and that’s not cool. it’s actually really disturbing. being this permissive about sexual education is dangerous. i won’t be incorporating this shit into my counseling program next year.

i swear a lot when i get upset, i’m sorry.

Ugh with you all the way (as you know).

So I’m ngl, my 6 year old asked some questions and we had another iteration of the talk (there were, of course, age-appropriately simplistic briefings when I turned up with her two younger sisters kicking around my womb) not that long ago. I got some simple but scientifically accurate and not too nauseating book out from the library and answered her direct questions. My true confessions:

-I indulged her understanding of things by continuing to use the terms “mommies and daddies” because why the hell should I not, sex pozzies?

-I omitted anything in the book that tried to complicate matters by yammering on and on about every possible “alternative” because she is six for crying out loud.

-I told her that mommy and daddy and our church* and the Bible all strongly believe and teach that these baby-making activities are NEVER to be forced on someone and only to be shared between you and the person you marry because, in fact, it is such a serious thing to share with someone it joins you to them spiritually and that is a Big Big Deal. (1 Cor 6:16)

As a Life-Long Liberal (lol) I was shocked to hear myself saying the last bit and then relieved, because I really believe it, I think it helped me stay strong and true as a teenager having heard it from my mom, and my job as a parent is to protect her and instill in her the values that I think will help her protect herself.

But by the sex poz book I did at least 6 things All Wrong and Warped Her For Life. Oh well.

*I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church even when the ELCA is confused and confusing lol.

`

Thank you both! So refreshing to see there are still voices of reason among feminism and especially Christian Feminism. I have no doubt your kids are going to turn into lovely,Christian ladies just like you, frauluther. :)

TAT Liberal thinking irks me so much. I would have chosen to just look away if it wasn’t so damning for the whole society.

Research, Education and Advocacy Related to Post-Abortion Issues

Educate yourselves~ Read this older study as well “Abortion Four Times Deadlier than Childbirth.” It has graphs that will illustrate clearly how horrid the aftermath of abortion is to the ex-mother compared to those who gave birth and those who miscarried.

The pains and complications of birthing aren’t the only factors that cause death of pregnant women. Depression and suicide plays a big part too. Those who get abortions gets the worst of it since they live with a lifelong guilt. They can try to rationalize their way out of it, but they will usually fail unless they kill their conscience. 

btw~ There is no bias here—3rd party study. This record-based study is from STAKES, the statistical analysis unit of Finland’s National Research and Development Center for Welfare and Health. 

Lol maybe if abortion was safer and more accepted in the world people would not feel so guilty. This study is accurate but based around psychological issues which can be solved if abortion was a normal part of society.

Pro-choice still wins.

That’s rather faulty logic. It is on the same level as this rationalization» Prostitution has been made safer(I doubt it) and more accepted in the world. People(pimps and men mostly) are not feeling so guilty about it now that it’s accepted as norm and legal.

I agree that slut shaming is a bad thing, but legalizing prostitution defeats the feminist agenda of stopping the objectification of women. Actually, it promotes it because it serves the carnal nature of men. You obviously know how hard that is to deal with “it’s their nature”. Women as a whole are NOT empowered through these, yet some feminists support it. The few who feel empowered through it damns the majority through how they portray themselves physically—bodies for sex.

Legalization didn’t solve the problem. If we are going to accept it as normal then we have to accept that rape, abuse, sexualization, and objectification is normal. Frankly, those are the things going on when men or women prostitute themselves, and I am strongly against it!

In abortion, children are turned into commodities. It seems pro-choicers think that no life is better than having a hard life (even though no one’s life is predetermined by how they started.) Do you want the US to emulate China and India where it’s pretty much common practice to abort their children because (insert various issues concerning population control, convenience, and money here)? Haven’t you watched the abortionist’s assistant who felt guilty for not stopping the doctor from killing the live birth because “she didn’t know that it was illegal”? Do you see what pro-choice has done to morality that the woman have to base hers on what is legal or not? If abortion is legalized to the 30th week, will it get rid of that guilt and horror? Even puppies and turtle eggs get more sympathy.

Facts like these made by STAKES are dismissed in fear that their “choice” will be taken away. Even putting up more regulations to secure the safety of the woman is a threat. What does that say about the institution of abortion? Was abortion ever given for free? Why does Operation Rescue and other pro-life orgs give their services for free and give more info and choices when they are the ones who “hate women”?

Most pro-abortionists make the girls with unwanted pregnancies feel that they have no other choice than to abort their babies. They make them feel isolated even before they try to call out for help(which there is a lot of inside and outside the family) thinking that no one would support them or their child. All these happen while these abortion clinics work in safety and rack in millions of dollars. Who then are they serving—the women or their pockets? 

Let those graphs sink in for a while. It’s not just a psychological issue. Brain and body chemistry also contributes to those deaths. It’s natural. You can’t argue with that… unless you want to argue against thousands of years of “evolution.”

Abortion is infanticide. Infanticide is murder. It doesn’t matter if it’s inside or outside the womb. Guilt will always exist. If you want to get rid of it entirely, you should brainwash a whole generation by repeatedly telling them that doing wrong is good. Some governments have been partly successful on doing just that~ demonizing and dehumanizing races, sexes, and genders. Think Nazi~ People are calling the 35 week old baby a fetus for crying out loud! Then when it comes out of the womb alive, it is called a baby? That’s how far this infant genocide has progressed that people are fooled that a few inches will change a person’s right to live. You really think that they care about the women? No~ False data like “women die more of childbirth than abortion” is used as propaganda. Now with the damning truth presented, why would you still side with pro-abortion? I want you to realize that your ideal of “women not being ostracized for killing their children while in the womb” will not be the acceptable because morality will always get in the way. 

One more problem brought about by this is the degradation of relationships. Relationships in this generation lacks intimacy and compassion. Turning sex into recreation and children as a nuisance creates a society where women and children are objectified and made a commodity. This exact thing happened long before the “modern” era. You should check out just how misogynistic the Roman men are that they rather have sex with a prostitute than their wives because they don’t want to care for children. Selfishness and is all it is~ As the Romans’ view women only a little higher than slaves, pro-abortionists see the unborn as merely a clump of cells, and the institution of abortion see women as merely sources of profit. 

Are you willing to pay the price if pro-choice wins?
