How exactly does one become "radically pro-abortion"?

[ck4829]

I see some conservative groups running around today and saying that a Dawn Johnsen, one of Obama's judicial nominees, needs to be opposed because she is a "Radical Pro-Abortion Activist."

How does one earn this title?

Every single anti-abortion initiative since at least 2006 has not just failed, but failed decisively. Every single last one of them! Does this mean that the American People are radically pro-abortion? Are we all radicals?

I don't get it. How does one earn the title of "Radical Pro-Abortion Activist"?

1. I would reserve the term for someone who pulls pregnant women off of the street and forces them to

have an abortion. It's the only thing that would fit the definition.

2. A Radical Pro-Abortion Activist is someone who grabs late-pregnancy

women off the street randomly and forces them to have abortions against their will.

At least that's what I heard.

3. Isn't Dawn Johnsen lesbian?

"Radical pro-abortion" could be a kind of code/dogwhistle.

Or simply a way to further malign the character of LGBT people... because fewer and fewer people are buying the "pedophilia" line, so they have to move on to the next level.

4. Simple, actually

All you have to do is suggest, in the mildest of terms, that perhaps it might possibly not always be a good thing to make 9 year-olds impregnated by their rapist stepfathers carry their twin babies to term.

Voila! You are now a "Radical Pro-Abortion Activist!"

IOW, there is no "moderate" position in the debate for these people. You either are absolute and unyielding in your complete opposition to abortion (and emergency contraception) or you are a wild-eyed radical forcing abortions on women.

5. You do understand that words are just TOOLS to the sociopathic personality, right?

Meanings? Forget about it.

[MonteLukast]

8. And they count on...

... people being taken in by words, and leaving it at that.

After all, what do we believe? "Change your words, change your life."

They count on the magical thinking we all tend to imbue words with. They count on us not checking for context, or to see if actions match up. Their success as propagandists depends on this.

6. I heard they don't love Jesus and they killed Dale Earnhardt

7. It means you think the Constitution should be the basis for our laws, not the Bible.

The American Taliban's dirty little secret is that everyone wants to reduce the number of abortions performed in this country - while liberals want to do that by taking away the demand through increasing education & the availability of healthcare, conservatives want to do it by taking away people's rights & freedoms.

Is there any other kind? The RW considers all of them (us) "radical ... activists"

as in "radical environmentalists"; "radical homosexuals"..etc

10. Simple: Make it mandatory

Thats how "they" see us. Mandatory abortion, welfare for everyone, forced lottery system of gay marriages of the public, and no first amendment rights for religious affiliations.

11. You perform abortions in your spare time

on weekends and evenings?

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. grabbing women off the street, forcing it upon them.

13. Those are the Gyno-Americans who enjoy the D&C experience so much

that they won't even wait the full nine months so the professional infanticidist can perform a proper partial-birth abortion.

14. The same people saying this consider President Obama a

"dangerous communist", every Democrat a "socialist" and most other republicans "Democrats".
They think Arlen Specter and Panama Jack McCain are liberals and secret Democrats.
They are sick, stupid bastards.

15. Same way that thinking organized prayer and creationism belong in churches instead of public schools

makes one "radically anti-Jesus"...? :shrug:

[JerseygirlCT]

16. In their minds, it means she thinks women are actual human beings

and deserve to control their own medical choices.
