I saw the strangest bumper sticker today

YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT

1. Anti-choice logic.
Simple, yet unfathomable.

3. It doesn't make any sense to me
Is that because I am a reasonable thinker?

5. Well, we tend to actually try to process words
into something conceptually understandable, where the fundie bumpersticker makers seem to think any jingoistic gibberish makes sense.

6. That is correct.
Reasonable thinkers will see that bumper sticker as purely nonsensical, as it is.

Whoever wrote it is good with pithiness, bad with logic.

4. Love the logic
People are silly....

How bout

If you want to prevent me from having an abortion,
can I force you to have a vasectomy? Mind your business.

8. Now that's the most bizarre bumpersticker I have EVER seen!
If you even look at it for more than a moment, you can see it makes NO sense at all.....

NONE.....

So what is the woman, if she's not pregnant? I guess the person never heard the word embryo, or fetus!

That's what a baby is, before it gets to viability!

The struggle continues.......:banghead:

11. Life in red state hell
It can be very interesting.

This car - that had the bumper sticker - was being driven by a frumpy older woman who had a dog in her lap. The dog was sticking its head out the window and jumping around. I don't know how she could see to drive. I got around her as quickly as I could. :scared:

9. Actually, It's Perfect!
Because if woman has an abortion, but it was only a fetus, then it wasn't a baby, she wasn't pregnant, and she couldn't have had an abortion. It was merely a medical procedure that is nobody else's business. (Which is what it should be anyway.)

The illogic paints them directly into a trap they set for themselves.

12. Thank you Professor
That was my first thought as well. It's really more pro choice than anti choice.

15. I saw a strange one the other day, too.

It said UNBELIEVABUSH. I really didn't know how to interpret that. He's either totally in love with the guy or he's rightly calling him a liar. :shrug:

17. Forever the optimist you are, CP!
That's what's so loveable about you! I'd like to think that, too.

19. I laughed when I first saw it
I thought it was a slam against fundies. I wonder if they know it has that effect...

I have never heard anyone claim that it isn't a 'baby'. Fetus is a stage in development of a baby. Do they not know this?

21. "IT?" Is a baby an "it" I ask?
You see a baby in a stroller, so cute...the baby is wearing a pink jumper, what might you ask? "What's it's name?" Not likely. "What's HER name?" maybe. They don't even get their own shit.
