(3,335 posts)vitriol over the past few days are any different than the rightwingnuts they've been critical of in the past over the abortion issue. Rightwingers have said that life begins at conception and even birth control designed to prevent implantation is murder. The accuse people who are pro-choice to be condoning 'baby killing'. So now 'it's own turn' to be engaging in the same hyperbole as if everything is your 'black and white'. That type of simplistic reasoning worked when I was a child. But I'm not a child and can have a different opinion from yours and still be a moral person. If not in your opinion, than so be it. If I were to examine some your life utilizing my standards, you might not measure up to my morals. But I'm not going to judge you, because I believe that Good People even when faced with the same information on a controversial topic can arrive at a different conclusion and that doesn't make one person Bad and one person Good; one person moral and one person immoral.
I've had some pretty bad things said about me in the past couple of days by people who don't know me, and would say things on a message board that they wouldn't say to someone's face. This forum is "General Discussion". If people can't Discuss without name calling and insulting people, or characterizing them as immoral over a narrowly focused issue, than I would suggest that they step away from the keyboard because they don't have the self control to engage in adult thought provoking issues of the day. Your line in the sand may not be my line in the sand. So if it's not what happens next? Are we going to start advocating blowing up stuff like the rightwingnuts who blow up women's health care clinics. Also no one of any courage is going to be bullied into submission because you scream loud and insult people. Every issue is not black and white now matter how loud one says it is. Everyone is a product of their experiences which encompasses a lot of things. That the beauty of a free nation. Your right to your opinion should not infringe on my right to have mine.
