Originally posted by black beetleI can tell you with certainty that I was not notified about the decision before it was enacted so it was not necessarily backed up by me personally.
Why we cannot?
Your ..."movement" is not something abstract, but a specific action which is promoted by a team of real persons which they are fully responsible for their decisions. These persons are constantly backed up by the Republican party and the Vatican.
You in person, you said that you feel not guilty and at the same time you stated that th ...[text shortened]... the denial -but BTW this order was backed up from the Pro-life citizens, yourself included.
Originally posted by twhiteheadIn the US abortion has been fought over since Roe vs. Wade in 1973. Of course the movement is not impotent but we're handcuffed by the law of the land....and who said I've done nothing (concerning abortion).
So are you saying that the movement is impotent? Everything done by its leaders are to be attributed to its leaders alone? So as a member of the movement you do nothing? Your opinions are worthless?
We are all having a civilized conversation in this thread about something that we all care about. It's interesting how none of you have said anything to shavixmir about some of his posts mostly directed toward me. If I had said anything even remotely close to the blatant spewing of hatred toward any of you I suspect that I would have had a gang attacking me. Despite the fact that many of us disagree we can still have a decent conversation, can't we?

"I'm pro life and I don't feel guilty about this in the slightest."?
And yes, this conversation has to do with decisions which for millions of real people -for millions of children actually- are a matter of life or death; shavixmir is really pissed and quite naive over here, but your attitude is by far more appaling.
To be frank, I also cannot understand why you think that the denial of the BC products to the Africans is justified; this has nothing to do with our other conversation regarding the issue of the abortion.
Originally posted by black beetleI didn't say it was justified. I said the denial of birth control was wrong.

Originally posted by twhiteheadThey probably did. It's because they assume that everyone who is pro-life (against abortion) is also against birth control. I view them as two separate things.
Do you think that those who did enact it, thought they would get your support by doing so? Why do you think they did it?
Originally posted by chappy1shavixmir is best ignored. I suggest you do the same. If you had said something along his lines I would probably have ignored you too.

So far I have found your answers very reasonable.
The truth is I live in South Africa and know next to nothing about the Pro-life movement in the US and merely wanted to get some clarity.

Originally posted by chappy1If you look on page 6 of this thread, you'll see that I used some gentle sarcasm to tell shavimir that his posts are quite juvenille. Personally, I think that he should be banned since he adds absolutely nothing of substance to the discussion. He obviously has some severe mental problems (or perhaps he's just immature and rude) so maybe us theists should pray for him.

And again, and again, and again. and throw in a fasting too.
I was thinking more that he needed a exorcism.
