Mind Your Business Prolifers!

I try to spend some time each day debating the abortion issue over the internet with individuals who are pro-choice. Some can argue the issue in a respectable manner. Some aren't nice and prefer to get snippy when their arguments don't work or they're faced with questions that they can't answer. In general, I'm surprised by the lack of factual evidence to back up what they say. When asked for evidence to back up an objective statement pro-choicers will often end the discussion or provide some general web site that doesn't specifically say what they say it says.

A tactic that I also see quite often is the "mind your own business" line which is often used to pro-choicers who are unable to logically argue their position.

Here's an example of what someone wrote to me a couple of days ago:

Your comments tell me that you are just simply obsessed with the unborn thing and being a prolifer, like those extremists that we dread. All you do is simply run around in circles, talking about the unborn and so on. It never ends. It's like an annoying broken record that just never stops, so repetitive, same (expletive), different smell. You go on and on about it, like some obsessed person who cannot let go. Abortion is legal, accept it and deal with it. Babies are being aborted by choice, by the woman who chose to do so for whatever reasons.

Later on she continues:

If a woman wants to have an abortion, let her have one, it's none of your damn business what she does or wants with her body and the "unborn". Why can't prolifers mind their own damn business instead of sticking their noses and beliefs into the lives of just about every person that is prochoice.

It's interesting how some pro-choicers seem to be wholly unable to see the abortion issue from the prolife perspective. They can't fathom why prolifers who believe the unborn are living human beings would want to protect these living human beings.

I asked this commenter to look at her comments if another issue was put in the place of abortion such as slavery or infanticide. Just imagine someone saying this:

Your comments tell me that you are just simply obsessed with the slavery thing and being an abolitionist, like those extremists that we dread. All you do is simply run around in circles, talking about the slaves and so on. It never ends. It's like an annoying broken record that just never stops, so repetitive, same (expletive), different smell. You go on and on about it, like some obsessed person who cannot let go. Slavery is legal, accept it and deal with it. Slaves are being owned by choice, by the slaveowner who chose to do so for whatever reasons.

If a woman wants to own a slave, let her have one, it's none of your damn business what she does or wants with her property and the "black human beings." Why can't abolitionists mind their own damn business instead of sticking their noses and beliefs into the lives of just about every person that is pro-slavery.

or this

Your comments tell me that you are just simply obsessed with the infant thing and being a against infanticide, like those extremists that we dread. All you do is simply run around in circles, talking about infants and so on. It never ends. It's like an annoying broken record that just never stops, so repetitive, same (expletive), different smell. You go on and on about it, like some obsessed person who cannot let go. Infanticide is legal, accept it and deal with it. Babies are being killed by choice, by the woman who chose to do so for whatever reasons.

If a woman wants to kill her infant, let her do it, it's none of your damn business what she does or wants with her body and the "born." Why can't prolifers mind their own damn business instead of sticking their noses and beliefs into the lives of just about every person that is prochoice.

The most interesting thing I think is that she uses the word "babies" to describe the unborn children who are aborted. They aren't clump of cells or bits of protoplasm but "babies." Like many pro-choicers she hasn't completely dehumanized them in her mind. They are still "babies." Yet she still thinks it should be legal to kill these "babies" for "whatever reasons." How scary and sad is that?
