I think anti abortionists are bigoted.

Therefore I need to question myself in regards to my continued participation here as a woman who took this websites owners word for their words in the TOS regarding bigotry. This is something that we all had to agree to when coming back after the hack.

Why would any woman want to post here, in the face of so many men wanting to sell our rights down the river.

I really hope this is not hidden. This is a moment for all to take some time to self reflect, imho.

1. But aren't most here in agreement with you, that this is non-negotiable in any way shape or form?

[boston bean]

2. A lot are and a lot aren't. I've noticed it is many guys who have are pushing this tho.

[Dreamer Tatum]

3. So, everyone agrees with you, or else? nt

[boston bean]

4. When I comes to my rights as a woman i think I can be that way.

[Dreamer Tatum]

5. Let's see how that goes nt

6. You are a peach.

8. It is sickening

None that think women should bow down to Anti-choicers in the name of the party, want to give up any of their rights. This special treatment is reserved for women only.

9. You have 30000+ posts and there have always been anti-choice elements on DU

so come on.

14. Let's see how fighting for women's rights goes? Is that your concern? Take a seat.

10. I think that is the glass full. More believe otherwise and it is a no brainer, from the posts

I have read.

7. Anyone who is willing to give away rights for any segment of the population

is admitting that they do not consider those rights to be actual rights.

I can understand that some people are strongly opposed to abortion for a variety of reasons. my response to them has always been: "do not have an abortion if you feel that it is wrong".

I feel that some of the big tent embrace of everyone philosophy risks watering down the Democratic Party for the sake of winning elections. But at what cost?

11. There is a difference between being anti-abortion

and labeling as bigots people who are not willing to use a single issue (abortion) as a litmus test.

People who are not willing to use abortion as a litmus test are no more bigots than anyone who voted for Obama in 2008 was a bigot merely because Obama opposed same gender marriage.

[Gravitycollapse]

13. And what about people who wouldn't use segregated schools as a litmus test?

See, the issue here is how seriously you take the matter of women's rights. That so many see them as negotiable says they are not considered all that important.

12. Well you better keep posting because I've lingered for three years and I recognize and respect your

contributions. The last thing this place needs is to lose its progressive talent to RW trolls (particularly those who brand themselves "anti-choice democrats" )

[leftstreet]

15. Anti-abortion voters aren't going to vote for Democrats anyway

The DCCC KNOWS this but decided to troll the base anyway

I can't believe this shit is even being discussed here



DURec for your post

16. I enjoy seeing these people who are willing to throw my reproductive choices under the bus

for "political expediency" twist themselves into a pretzel when their anti-woman, hateful, misogynistic and bigoted views towards my reproductive rights aren't in ANY WAY SIMILAR to the suggestion that we run a candidate who is expressly anti-civil rights, or who is expressly anti-immigration, or who is blatantly anti-muslim. ooo no, that's different, see. We'd NEVER run a candidate who would take away rights of black people because that would be going against the basic principles of the democratic party!!! But supporting someone who doesn't believe in abortion, or birth control....eh, political expediency!
