I sort of missed my window (a lack of a womb with a view, if you will), so I’ll just say I appreciate _ender’s more reasoned responses this time around.
As you pointed out, I’m usually pretty level-headed. I just keep peeking in this thread and often get annoyed at the stereotypes of conservatives, and when it came to a topic I feel so passionately about, particularly considering how little sleep I’ve had the past few days, I was not in the mood to put up with it anymore.
I admit I generalize a lot on abortion but I have also seen the views I’m describing many, many times.
Of course. But you know, black people do in fact commit more crime than white people. Nevertheless, generalization easily leads to false conclusions. Statistically, a man who is racist against African-Americans could be right when believing that they might be more likely to steal the radio out of his car. But the reality is that the higher percentage does not represent an inherent trait, nor does it represent a majority of African-Americans. A generalization could easily lead to dangerously bigoted and false presumptions. But the intelligent mind (and I’m not suggesting you don’t have one) discerns what is portrayed compared to what is reality. If all I cared about was the news, I’d think nearly all Muslims wanted to behead me and my family. Thankfully, I know that the most vocal factions usually don’t represent the whole group.
There’s another angle no one has talked about, which is the woman’s right/choice to have an abortion for any reason at the very early stages of the pregnancy, as it is her body. A lot of men (and some women) don’t agree with that, and we also get into more well-trodden ground of the rights of the woman vs. the rights of the fetus, so it’s probably not worth bothering with (again) here.
I agree, I think we covered it. I appreciate your thoughts, though.
