I really don't mean to raise a big stink about anything, especially if the intent really was life. However, as I mentioned before, I feel very strongly pro-life, with less internal ambiguity than any other topic. Regardless of its legality, I still find it immoral, just as I find adultery, lying, and Nazism immoral, though legal. It's an issue I will never change my mind on I'm afraid, and I completely despise the argument that a fetus is not a person.

and you have every right to despise that argument, just as they have every right to make the argument.

I don't see how this furthers the discourse at all. I could use this response in any debate and make absolutely no progress. You brought up that it's illegal.

um, no I brought up the fact that it is legal.

I suppose what I said doesn't really further the discourse(I wasn't aware that every post I made had to do that). I guess all I was trying to say was what they were doing is legally protected, no matter how much we might hate it. I wasn't trying to offend you, darth_ender.

That's what I meant. My bad. And you are right, it is legally protected. I just plan on fighting it for the rest of my life. You're a good man, Warbler, and I know you didn't mean to offend.

And to everyone else, while I was not pleased with the candy, I want to reiterate one final time that I didn't want to turn this into an abortion debate (I'm happy to debate it, but not over candy which I simply felt was insensitively designed--meet me in politics, anyone). I see that there are various interpretations, both for those who feel indifferent and those who were offended. I personally feel it is wise to avoid offending people, but simultaneously we all deserve to express our feelings. I don't much care for the candy design and my interpretation of the intended message, but frankly I think this thread as met its end for me. Again, I will gladly and passionately debate anyone in the politics thread.
