If abortion was to be made illegal ....

[Ben Kenobi]

Stick your strawman up your ass please. Alternatively provide some links proving the existence of these legal clinics working under unsafe conditions and examples of women dying as a result.

MikeH, are Gosnell pictures permitted here?

You're assuming that Condoms and birth control never fail. This is false. Yes, some women do use condoms and birth control and still get pregnant.

Please learn to read. He said "abortion used as a means of birth control". That is not the same as abortion used when birth control fails.

MikeH, are Gosnell pictures permitted here?

Gosnell was not running a 'perfectly legal clinic' you ****ing moron, which is why he's currently in prison serving life without parole.

So what's the difference between the two? You support abortion in either case.

Gosnell ran a perfectly legal abortion clinic for 30+ years before he was caught. Apparently enforcing abortion regulations isn't high on the priority list these days.

Ben, you are barely permitted here.

Apparently many priests have been caught after molesting children for 30+ years. Clearly we should pass new laws requiring churches to enforce expensive new regulations they can't afford, leading to their closure. It's only fair after all.

In Ben's defense, a) Liberals are currently going ape**** over efforts to institute basic health and safety standards in such clinics and b) you can look here, here, and here for a few examples supporting the contention that Gosnell might not be the outlier pro-abortion advocates such as yourself like to claim.

I'll take disingenuous strawmen for $500

I have no idea what that is so I'll need more information. (and not googling at work if it's borderline for here)

But if in doubt, don't post it is a good rule. So good call asking.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Gosnell was an abortion doctor who killed children after they were born (sometimes the birth was accidentally induced in the middle of the attempted abortion).

[MikeH]

Is he asking me if it is ok to post pictures of dead babies?

[Wezil]

Probably.

It's one of the reasons the posters here like him so much.

[Elok]

"Dead babies" is actually a bit of an understatement. Gosnell was sort of the Colonel Kurtz of the abortion world; he reputedly kept garbage bags full of baby feet hanging around his "clinic." Among other horrible stuff.

[Ben Kenobi]

Hence the reason I asked... We've had the conversation before.

[MikeH]

Of course it's not acceptable. I can't believe you couldn't work that out for yourself.

[rah]

In all fairness, there are many many things that he can't work out for himself.
