“Disappointing but too too predictable”…
…Those words from this pro-abortion discussion about the Chatelaine piece. (Funny thing is that many a pro-lifer said the same thing.) But at Rabble, their concern is not over abortion but rather about how there should be no debate over abortion. We all agree. And if not, well, your views should be illegal.
Just when you think Canada has a slight chance of becoming progressive, they allow people to publish this sort of hatred encouraging the slavery of women. This should be illegal and the author of the article, as well as the editors of Chatelaine should be brought up on charges of hate crimes.
Wow. Talk about “too too predictable”–I don’t like your views–so Just Ban Them–that should take care of that. They’ve had some success, by the way, starting with telling pro-lifers where they are allowed to walk and what they can say within a certain distance of an abortion clinic. The positive side of this is that if pro-life arguments weren’t persuasive and powerful, our opponents wouldn’t have to limit free speech.
Go crazy, I say–bring out the Human Rights Tribunals and the hate speech charges and I as an ardent pro-lifer will defend Chatelaine’s right to publish what was a pretty solidly pro-abortion piece.

This quote automatically ran through my head in a Nazi-German accent. (The word ‘Chatelaine’ sounds pretty inaudible in that accent, by the way.) You try it. It’s fun!

I wonder if it’s a troll.
Hooboy – here’s a good one….”Forcing women to conceive against their will, and essentially making them human incubators is slavery – pure and simple.” Never heard of any woman conceiving against her will…seems to me it is up to nature to determine conception. And I never thought of pregnancy as slavery. So many of the comments are just so, well, odd. I could take the afternoon to dismantle many of them, but I have better things to do. Over on rabble they can express their views, just as we can here. So there.
What we who defend the prolife cause want is a balanced discussion in which the facts are available to women, without the euphemistic rhetoric that so often characterizes the pro-choice side.
So women who are happy to be pregnant are, what, happy slaves?
I’ve never been pregnant, but I get the general impression that pregnancy, while not without its trials and tribulations, isn’t some kind of hideously miserable state of being. Certainly not as wretched as being being beaten for an hour and having salt applied to your wounds like in whichever slave narrative that was. (Frederick Douglass?) Whoever heard of slaves who were still able to do most of the things they’d done pre-slavery and got freed after nine months?
The minute someone wants to make it illegal to say something, you know they’re wusses. It’s like the adult version of running up to the teacher and whining that some other kid called you a mean name.
