Is the Republican party done?

[MrFun]

Clearly. Hence the stated surprise I had that it worked.

You're surprised that women were offended when some Republican politicians made positive statements of rape, claiming that rape can be good?

[MrFun]

Pro-choice people talking about "women's reproductive rights" always sounds a lot like the pro-slavery people talking about "State's rights." We all know what you mean, why don't you just come right out and say that you don't think a human fetus is deserving of human rights? Your euphemisms betray a guilty conscience.

The government has the same moral authority to prevent abortion that it has to prevent child abuse. If parents harm their children, then it is the government's responsibility to uphold the rights of the abused, neglected, molested, or in this case, killed. To pretend otherwise is to stand on the wrong side of history.

summary: rape is a good thing for women

I support abortions and think they are a net benefit to society.

At least you're honest. I can respect an honestly held belief, even if it's one that I disagree with.

The WoW meme started before Akin. Is the level of critical thinking you display on this board the reason you can't get a productive job?

MrFun demonstrates why having a master's degree in a liberal arts field demonstrates nothing about your intelligence or capacity for rational thought.

Do you believe that the life of a child conceived in rape is a good thing?

People who support bans on abortion support big government morally as well as fiscally.

It'll cost a fortune to raise all those unwanted children.

Raise taxes!

[regexcellent]

Once again you manage to fundamentally misunderstand the anti-abortion position or deliberately misrepresent it as part of a pathetic troll. Size of government is totally irrelevant, just as the apparatus to catch and punish thieves, rapists, and murderers is completely separate from the big government argument.

Let me put it this way. One of my best friends is an adopted Chinese girl. You're going to have to have a seriously compelling argument to convince me that abortion is good for women's rights.

If a bloodless Mormon corporate raider like Romney is the Republican party's idea of a moderate, then yes the party has a big, big problem.

I'd love to hear a reasoned list stating why he is an extremist.

[Hauldren Collider]

You won't find one. It's totally perception, with no basis in reality. Not that that has ever mattered.

MORMON, CORPORATE RAIDER, what part of this don't you understand?
