Murder without conscience
Here are some quotes from a pro-abortion person, Miss Caroline Weber, who wrote an article at The Onion online magazine.

The Onion Article

When referring to the killing of her child she said:

"I am totally psyched for this abortion!"

"Those pro-life activists made it pretty clear that, unlike me, they actually think abortion is bad and to be avoided. Are they nuts? Abortion is the best!"

"It wasn't until now that I was lucky enough to be pregnant with a child I had no means to support."

"I just know it's going to be the best non-anesthetized invasive uterine surgery ever!"

Who does Miss Weber blame her abortion on? The pro-life movement.

"The funny thing is, I actually have the pro-life movement to thank for this opportunity."

It's our fault? She says:

"If my HMO wouldn't have bowed to their pressure not to cover oral contraceptives, I never would've gotten pregnant in the first place."

Sorry ma'am, if you hadn't had sex you wouldn't have gotten pregnant, it's not the HMO's fault for not supporting your promiscuity while not married.

To sum it up, Miss Weber said:

"I realize there are people who will criticize me, calling me selfish and immature because I took "the easy way out." I realize there are those who will condemn me to hell for what I'm about to do. Well, I don't care what they say: It's worth it for all the fun and laughs I'm going to have at the clinic. So listen up, world: I'm pro-abortion... and I love it! See you at my post-abortion party, everybody!"

Miss Weber, you have killed your child, which you admit is a baby/human being, intentionally. That does make you an admitted murderer. I'm not going to "condemn you to hell", I'm going to pray for your forgiveness and for the suffering which you will endure when you realize what you have done. Every baby you see from that moment on is going to wake you up to the realization that you killed your child.

Speak out against abortion. Don't just complain about it. Join the Monthly Call for Life at MonthlyCallForLife.com. We call, email and/or march to let our representatives know that we will not stop until they stop the killing of innocent human beings!

Man, that Onion article was the best. It made me love abortion too

Reading the comments to that blog is hilarious.

How I laugh and laugh at the blogger making up a story of a lady saying it might be ok for a mom to kill her daughter if she was a pest. The guy writing it writes funny fiction.

That's the most obvious satire I've ever seen. There are a very small number of Onion articles that could actually be real, and this is far from being one of them.

Coul you at least stop putting satire in quotes...ex. "satire"...it just makes it that much worse...

Hmmm....

Never mind.
Steve | 07.11.06 - 8:32 pm | #

Gravatar I'm going to try this a simple, polite way for you.

There is no Caroline Weber.

The article, written by writers at the Onion, was a satire. The woman does not exist. The person who wrote it doesn't agree with the opnions expressed.

The point of the piece was that, contrary to the position of some pro-life people (you included, apparently), it is ridiculous to think that anybody likes abortion or wants women to have an abortions. That's why it's a satire.

People who support abortion rights are not, as you describe them, pro-abortion. They are pro-choice. They want women to be able to make that decision for themselves. You disagree. But do not mischaracterize their stance.

It makes you look kind of stupid.

So this is your strategy? You're going to comb through the thousand or so comments your Onion-related posts generated and highlight the ones that contain profanity? Not a good approach, in my opinion. Swallow your pride and admit that you were a bit gullible. Have a laugh at yourself, and move on. As long as you keep trying to position yourself as the intellectual superior of your detractors, you're going to look silly and invite more mockery. You're just providing comic fodder for the anti-life movement.

Gravatar I am genuinely sorry that you have run into so many people who are unable to express their disagreement with your positions without personally attacking you.

The Onion is a humor magazine. This piece is funny specifically because it is so completely ridiculous that anybody would ever be psyched to have an abortion. Unfortunately, in your mind you have so thoroughly demonized your opponents at this point that you actually believe that pro-choice Americans are excited about getting an abortion.

I admire your willingness to fight for your cause, but please understand that many Americans simply disagree with you that life begins at conception. For me, the fact that an estimated 80% of fertilized eggs do not survive the term of the pregnancy (50% of them don't even manage to attach to the uterine wall and die within a week of fertilization) makes me wonder: what God would design a system where 80% of his People are never born?

Pete, the "satire" (as you put it) was actually a satire (sans quotation marks). The reason you seem to be having trouble grasping this fact is because the piece is making fun of individuals such as yourself.

I disagree with everything for which you stand, but I beg of you out of concern for another human being: please please PLEASE stop posting. Anything. You're receiving regular traffic from swarms of liberals, conservatives, and everything in-between who view you as a fool.

Gravatar (i've been having some trouble posting, hopefully this does not show up twice, sorry if it does.)

Lets just consider this little episode as the Internets contribution to Pete's education. Clearly this is a case where the system has failed the lad.

Lesson 1. about not surrounding words in quotes where none are needed was covered in the first comment, so I'll jump to Lession 2.

Ok, Peter, buddy...Lession 2.

Look, you don't really want to try and associate reading the Onion with rude and nasty behavior. The Onion is one of the funniest papers around and it is read all over the country. Generally speaking it gives me a chuckle, it makes them laugh, it is... fun. I am being sympathetic to you, go read the Onion sometime, I mean for laughs, you know? Enjoy yourself a little. It's good stuff man. It has nothing to do with nastiness or rudeness. You need to read it, cause talking the way you are about really doesn't make any sense.

Lession 3.
The: ... in punctuation is called an ellipse. An ellipse is generally used to indicate an intention omission. For example: "I was reading this unbelievable website today...". It can be like saying "bla bla bla" or "yada yada yada". It can also be used as an intentional pause. The commentor you quote uses it to create a time delay in his final thought. We don't really have good temporal represenation in text, so the placement of the ellipse in "Color me stunned ... douchebag" is used to indicate a second of time, as if the person were really speaking to you. Another way of saying this would be "Color me stunned -beat- doughbag". So no he's not signing as doughbag, he is remarking to himself that you are a doughbag. Not that I agree. The pause coupled with the pajorative use of doughbag here is a way of communicating what he is saying to himself.

The definition on wikipedia is also pretty amusing for our discussion here: "Ellipses in linguistics refers to any omitted part of speech that is understood." This is called Irony.

Lession 4.
"what color is 'stunned'"

Sigh... ok Pete... we're doing a lot of talking about children so you should know this reference. The writer is refering to a famous childrens book about emotions: Color Me Happy

You can get a copy here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/produ...2337211- 2703634

It's really delightful. The book associates colors with different emotions to teach what the words mean:

"When I am sunny, colour me yellow. When I am funny, colour me pink."

So the commentor is making a funny reference to this book. As for my own personal opinion about what color stunned might see: http://www.onwijs.com/remcodek/s...s/ hypnodisk.jpg

So I hope this has been helpful. I think I speak for all when I say we are really enjoying your posts. Maybe not as intended, but that's ok.
Billy | 07.11.06 - 9:18 pm | #

I'm trying to be polite here, so bear with me.

First off, cut the quotes. The Onion is satire, not "satire". It's not real. The fact that college-educated people don't believe it is not a strike against higher education... because in this case, they are right.

I admit, the anonymous face of the internet makes it very easy for people to heap abuse and cursewords on others. Most of us manage to rise above this, regardless of our viewpoints on abortion. There. You've now met a courteous pro-choicer.

Which brings me to my last point. Stop calling us pro-abortion. We're not. It's even less valid than us refering to you guys as "anti-choice". Absolutely nobody is pro-abortion. I would be exceedingly happy if, starting tomorrow, there were no more abortions, ever, anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, I'm a realist. Outlawing abortion will not end abortion. It will just result in illegal, back-alley abortions. I'm sure that anyone who calls themself "pro-life" and actually means it won't be cheering as women bleed to death from botched coat-hanger surgeries- but that's exactly what will be happening if abortion is outlawed.

Abortion is simply a symptom of greater social problems. You can't treat a disease by just treating the symptoms- the disease will just get worse if you do. Do you really want to end abortion? Really? Then here's what you need to do:
- Eradicate poverty. The group with the highest incidence of abortion is the poor.
- Sponsor psychological counseling for teenagers- studies have revealed that depressed teens are more likely to engage in sexual behavior.
- Establish health care and social programs for everyone. People won't be as likely to seek an abortion if they know they won't go bankrupt raising a child.
- Sponsor real, effective sex education. There is strong evidence abstinence-only sex-ed doesn't work.

Of course these steps won't eliminate abortion completely, but they will significantly reduce it, and that's better than both mother and child dying in some back alley.

No, but if you ever do outlaw abortion, it'll be through packing the courts with nuts like Alito.

Notice I didn't say "end abortion". You'll never end it - only make it more dangerous for the people who feel they must have one.

Thanks for the Google link. I'm personally fond of this definition:

Satire. A manner of writing that mixes a critical attitude with wit and humor in an effort to improve mankind and human institutions. Ridicule, irony, exaggeration, and several other techniques are almost always present. The satirist may insert serious statements of value or desired behavior, but most often he relies on an implicit moral code, understood by his audience and paid lip service by them. The satirist's goal is to point out the hypocrisy of his target in the hope that either the target or the audience will return to a real following of the code. Thus, satire is inescapably moral even when no explicit values are promoted in the work, for the satirist works within the framework of a widely spread value system. Many of the techniques of satire are devices of comparison, to show the similarity or contrast between two things. A list of incongruous items, an oxymoron, metaphors, and so forth are examples. See "The Purpose and Method of Satire" for more information.

The "public school" / "college educated" thing has me confused too. I assume that it's some kind of swipe at the public school system, but the exact argument is not clear to me. By the way, I have a college degree, and I attended private schools throughout my entire life. I know plenty of intelligent college-educated people who attended public school, however, and a fair number of them are pro-life. Bottom line: condemning huge numbers of people as "brainwashed" because of the type of school their parents chose for them as children is not going to win you any friends. Please, quit before you get yourself in more trouble.

Yes, it's all the fault of us foul-mouthed liberals. Us and our dirty words, with multiple postings.

It's not like we started a war based on a wish and a prayer, or recruited some skinheads who raped and killed a 14-year old Iraqi woman.

It's not like we practice discrimination based on what a voice from a cloud tells us.

It's not like we know our marriages will suddenly and mysteriously fail if we let gay people have equal rights.

Wow, after trying to sift through the 600 or so comments on your original, misguided (though obviously heartfelt) post on the Onion article, I started to feel sorry for you. Sympathy didn't last long though, after reading your most recents post on the "satire" of the Onion article and what your idea of "crazy" is.

"Crazy", in my eyes, is any person (especially any man) who thinks they can tell me what I can and cannot do to my own body. And before you start foaming at the mouth, please remember that it's pro-choice, not pro-abortion. I chose to have my baby when everyone around me was pressuring me to have an abortion. You see, choice goes both ways and if you want to see another side of "crazy", just you try to impose your morals on my body.

Spare yourelf the effort buddy b/c you won't and you never will, (why is it people like you are always the ones trying to tell everyone else around you what to do, when it's obvious yoy yourself don't have clue?

Well anyway, good luck blogging you're off to a BRILLIANT "start!"

PS I think the only people around here who are brainwashed are people like you. Stop for a second and try seeing the world through someone else's eyes, someone different than you. No Pete, I meant REALLY try...

Gravatar Oh how stupid ye are O Pete.
Let me count the ways.

1) You interpret a blatant parody as solemn seriousness. This demonstrates you are desperate to believe the worst of your opponents - after all, they're all murderers, right? They must hate humans and want to kill everyone! What a warped worldview.

2) You write not one, but TWO posts in which you demonstrate quite clearly your utter inability to interpret satire. Though you have had this pointed out to you on, hmm last count shows 1100 occasions, you fail to understand the basic humour of the parody. It is funny because it is so insane. You are funny because you are so insane you think that people are actually like this.

3) "The last person said "I don't know any college educated folks who don't know the site", which proves my point that our children are brainwashed in the public school system." Non-sequitur. This is just stupid. Please get some education.

4) You are STILL demonstrating your inability to perceive this as the majority do. You are an extremist Pete. You do understand that, right? You are on the fringe. Most of society laughs at people like you, with pity, because your ignorance is so plain that all can see it, and your righteousness so foully strong that you are blind to your own ignorance.


Please, write another post about this whole Onion thing. Be sure not to say "oops, I'm a bit of a fool" because you might actually achieve a level of humility then. You know, humble? There was this fish-prophet who said humility was cool and stuff. I can't remember his name right now.. He had a big book, real popular for centuries.

Ah whatever.

Gravatar Please note that there is not a single "cuss word" in this comment, so you don't have to skip over it to protect yourself from the English language.

What's so amazing to me is that the main thing you got out of all the comments as that people used "cuss words" to refer to one of the stupidest acts performed by a human being in public in a really long time.

I assume that this is simply because you really have no good response to the content of the comments, so you sought to change the subject to the "cuss words," etc.

That, in a way, is actually fairly intelligent. One Machiavelli-type rule for demagoguery is:

When losing very badly in dealing with substantive issues, try to draw attention away from your failure towards some flaw, no matter how trivial and *irrelevant* to the issue.

Of course, it doesn't really work in a case like this, because talking about people's use of "cuss words" is not even in the same general universe as your own errors are, and, of course, it's dishonest.

It's one of those mote/beam things, and it's too obvious to be good ploy in a case like this. A debating trick is only a "good thing" (again, in a Machiavellian sense) if it doesn't contribute to the appearance that you are pathetic and hopeless.

Although I seem to be one of the few actually to point out the absolute and utter and perfect irrelevance of your response, I suspect nearly everyone noticed.

Keep up the good work.

They don't use The Onion as a teaching aid or a textbook in public schools, not at the grade school level nor at the college one. However, it has become such a well-known site that few people who have undergone the general socialization that comes from most colleges- both public and private- have not at least heard of it. That does not mean that everyone approves or likes The Onion, it just means it has notoriety. Please do not confuse that as being some kind of deliberate taint the public school system has strived to leave its graduates with.

And please do not confuse your own ignorance with that of the people mocking you. So many seem to have been struck dumb by the sheer ridiculous of your position that the words needed to describe how we feel about your posts may not exist in the English language, hence the tendancy to do little besides remark on your stupidity.

And don't confuse the desire for a woman to be able to make a decision concerning her body with anyone being pro-abortion. To many minds, being forced to carry an unwanted pregancy to term and give birth is as horrifying to you as the concept of abortion is. I'd offer the old comparison "Would you want to be forced to undergo such a huge, scary experience like that", excpet being male you can say "of course I'd carry my child to term and devote my whole life to caring for it", free from ever being forced to do as well as your words by the simple fact that you lack the equipment to become pregant.

Personally, I couldn't ever go through with an abortion. But I fully support the right of women to have that choice to make for themselves, since I respect that others do not feel the same way as I- and I do not see the first-trimester procedures as wrong, or bad. There is a huge difference between a 2-month-old clot of cells that lacks a brain, limbs, or developed internal organs and a hyperactive five-year old being a pest. The comparisons you are making about murder do not take this into account.

I could go on, at length, but I think you are unlikely to bother to read the extent of my post, let alone make an attempt to think about whether or not my position might hold a spark of validity.

See, the reason that education and The Onion seem to go together is that educated people (i.e. those who understand basic grammar) are more likely to understand the meaning behind the words they read. An intelligent person (with only a mild to moderate persecution complex) might find an outrageous article on an Internet site and give it a moment's pause, upon which he/she would likely notice the context of OTHER ridiculous articles and "get it." For those who get it, The Onion can be quite entertaining.

Now, someone who doesn't get it, well... they'd be likely to fly off the handle and, if empowered by a really neato blog, make a complete and utter fool of themselves.

"Either way, I think I did a good job of turning the “satire” right back at them, don’t you?"

Your viewpoints are normally respectable but here I'm surprised with the mistakes that you've made. For certain things you should just stop, accept the losses, and move on. Especially with things like The Onion and phrases like "color me ______". Those are not-so-recent well-known references, if you don't know about them that's fine but it hurts your credibility if you comment on them. It's unfortunate but true; look at the comments. People who normally would have taken your pro-life stances seriously no longer will because of those comments. Yes it's stupid but that's how it is so you should learn to deal with it if you are trying to convince people of something.

That he posted multiple times without acknowledging a mistake and you know, adhering to all that conservative stuff about claiming personal responsibility is even MORE telling.

Mnemosyne, if Pete here had even had an "oh shit" moment, he certainly hasn't posted it here. In fact, he's pretty much insinuated that everyone who has tried to inform him that he was mistaken in his idea that it was a serious article is just evil. And he's posted three posts to that effect.

He's right, and about a million other people are wrong.

No sympathy for anyone who is so completely obsessive in his need to be right above all else--even on a subject on which he's so obviously WRONG. It's no longer a mistake--it's a delusion.

If he can't even admit he made a mistake about The Onion without ridiculing those who pointed it out (even nicely), he's irredeemable.

Pete, colleges are often private. Why some even have a Christian focus!
Also, I would like to help you with your sarcasm problem. A typical strategy is to flip an expected subject with an unexpected one. For instance "color me stunned." You're correct: you don't know what color that is. Advanced neuro-expertologists call that moment when one's conciousness is liberated from the brain's rational centers "a funny." The tingling sensation means it's working.

sir, you are painfully stupid. it would probably be in your best interests to stop adressing the fact that you mistook a satirical publication for news. it's hard to understand how you made this mistake, what with the headline "Gaywads, Dorkwads Sign Historic Wad Accord," and all. also, you keep addressing caroline weber, saying she wrote this article. this is not true. she is a completely fictional (make believe) author.

surely, the anti-abortion movement has better champions than you. in the future it may be best to have one of them proofread your work.

p.s. "color me stunned" is a correct use of the term "color." the ellipsis ("...") denotes dramatic pause and does not function like a comma. do you read?

I just can't comment without using profanity. This is just too much to politely address.

You stupid cockmaster, what the hell is wrong with you? Why on Earth are you digging yourself deeper into a hole? Watch this marvel of typing, you could have used this to get out of your situation:

"Oops, didn't realize that was THAT The Onion!"

So easy. Done and done. You would have taken ribbing, but at least you'd only have 600+ comments instead of 1200+.

You've truly brought your pro-life issue into the spotlight - unfortunately you've set it back at least 100 internet-years. Now everyone that get entertainment from the internet will know you, know your issue, and know how badly you fucked all of it up.

You are what is wrong with this country (the US, that is, as thankfully the internet is worldwide - as is your asshtattery). A bunch of fascist control freaks, jumping to conclusions, and coming up with ridiculous excuses.

In your case, you seek to control women. As others have pointed out, the already-born (of any age) have a much harder time than a bundle of cells ever could. You want to control women, because none of you pro-life extremists (the moderates are fine) give two shits about the kid after it gets popped out. You couldn't give a shit.

In fact, I bet if you ever get a girlfriend after this delightful demonstration of your gullibility, you'll end up beating her. You want to control women, right? Want to control what goes on with them, inside of them, and around them? Sure you do, you're a pro-life extremist. So you'll end up beating the girl.

But no, you won't just up and do it. It'll start out peachy, things will go alright, but you'll be nervous and scared. And a few months in, when you can't hold in that awkwardness anymore, it'll be POW. And you'll keep doing it and doing it, because the mindset of someone that beats their girl is just like the mindset of a pro-life fringe lunatic like yourself.

Anyway. What is really great about this whole situation is that you've managed to set back the online pro-life movement. You've made a complete fucking ass of yourself, alienated like-minded folks, and embarrassed every halfway intelligent human being.

Say what you will about the people commenting, it doesn't matter - the only genuinely uneducated person here is you.

You fucking fuck.

Taco Bell Launches New 'Morning After' Burrito

March 12, 1997 | Issue 31•09

PURCHASE, NY—Hot on the heels of last week's FDA approval, on Monday PepsiCo subsidiary Taco Bell launched its controversial "morning after" burrito, a zesty, Mexican-style entree that prevents unwanted pregnancies if ingested within 36 hours following intercourse.

Developed by a team of top Taco Bell gynecologists, the $1.99 "ContraceptiMelt" burrito creates an inhospitable environment within the womb, causing fertilized ovum tissue to be flushed from the body.

Also available are ContraceptiMelt Supremes, featuring sour cream and extra cheese.

Taco Bell officials are excited about the offering. "In the past, before Roe v. Wade, young women literally had to 'make a run for the border' to terminate an unwanted pregnancy," Taco Bell public relations director Grant Lesko said. "But now, women can make that same run for the border at over 7,300 convenient locations right in their own hometowns."

Gravatar I cannot - just CANNOT believe that Pete actually responded to my posting in his "Comments." My posting!?!? Wow!

I feel so honored. My God. Out of 900 and some odd comments trying to talk common sense, and Pete responds to little old mine?!? I'm happy I used the cuss words now to stand out. Absolutely remarkable.

First, a grammatical lesson. Since I've already provided a name (which the Blog software uses to identify date and time of response), I would not need to double-identify myself. Those periods? They are called ellipses, idiot. In common English they are a grammatical convention used to denote missing text; alternatively, they're a literary convention used as a pausing measure (sorta like a Caesura, but for prose).

So, in this case, they are used to express my sense of disbelief ... before calling you a "douchebag." So, the "... douchebag" was aimed at you, douchebag of douchebags. Using the phrase "color me ... " anything is also a literary convention. Man, are you serious? It's so amusing having to explain this.

Clearly, this site - and by that I mean this foolish, Pro-Life Site - must be a joke. Also, where did I mention I was "Pro-Abort" (whatever that means anyway)? I don't see anything in my comments. So, let me get this point straight: Pete is saying that people who point out how utterly idiotic he is are "Pro-Abort?"

If that were the case, I think the legions of folks would be such that Roe v. Wade would never be under threat. Translation for the duller amongst us (e.g. Blog's author): alot of people think you are an idiot, and no, that it not tantamount to everyone being a "Pro-Abort" (ref: http://dictionary.reference.com/...wse/tantamount) which would be a Non Sequitur (ref: http://dictionary.reference.com/...non%20sequitur) .

Man, you really are an utter embarrassment.

Oh, and the final assessment of "The Onion": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ The...taken_seriously

Funny thing is I don't think even a Wikipedia entry will matter to Pete. I hear the Wikipedia servers run on ground up aborted fetus parts, ergo the pages must be full of lies.

At least be honest:

You don't want to save babies, you want to control others.

Worse still, you base it on your personal mythology that not everyone subscribes to.

Why am I bothering?

Pete, you're a walking, talking, blogging cliche.

Close to 1,200 comments on your two other posts on this subject, running about 1,195 to 5 against you, and you're still at it. If you're representative of the brains behind the anti-choice forces, then I expect those of us on the opposite side need not worry.

Oh and . . . douchebag!
Louis | 07.11.06 - 11:24 pm | #

I understand your mistake and feel deeply for the cause you support, Pete. The people who leave nasty comments are the kind of immoral and God hating people who would murder beautiful children just so they can have "careers" and "lives". What kind of lives do they want when children are our future? If those slut women keep crying about wanting lives and kill their babies, who's gonna serve me my freedom fries and extra large Coke 18yrs from now?

No matter how many times you post something in response to your original Caroline Weber blog post, or to the personal attacks you have received, one thing will always be as clear as day:

You are a fucking dumbass.

You're really making the other pro-lifers look bad... did you even see some of the other article titles the Onion publishes? go to the site at http://www.theonion.com, "U.S. protests Mexi-Canadian Overapss", "Life Jackets Issued to All Americans." Umm...yea, very REAL news there.

Seriously, just stop before someone Darwins you. And over 1,000+ comments & you're nitpicking at one or two. Geez!

Uhhh. Petey?

I went to both private school and private university.

You are obviously somewhat impaired when it comes to reason and logic and writing just ain't your thing bud. Might as well quit now and avoid future ridicule.

At this point the entire english speaking internet is laughing AT you.

You even made it to fark.com, a real achievement given that it is the number one links site in the world.

Pete, you are the very reason I abandoned a belief in god (yes, uncapitalized) so long ago. Look what it did to your brain! To reiterate what many people have told you: The article is FAKE. It was written as a joke. Are you familiar with the concept of a joke? Or do you think that all those blonde jokes you hear at the office are actual anecdotes, you drooling simp? Do the world a favor and read a book besides the Bible.

Gravatar Actually, Pete is completely right. Most people *think* The Onion is "satire," but probably it's because those people used the Merrian-Webster's definition of "satire." God's definition of "satire" is an abortion mill. I was actually forced to abort my baby, using my own tow hands and a pair of 4th of July barbecue tongs -- and then to add insult to the most grevious injury a woman can suffer, they forced me at gunpoint to write that sick article.

Rest assured, Carol Weber *is* real, and I know because that is who I am. Don't let the Onion pass of this conscienceless murder of my child under the false guise of satire.

Gravatar Thanks Heartland Hal for your support. I'm glad *someone* here understands the horrible injury I suffered at the hands of The Onion editorial staff. Your words truly warm my heart.

It is true, these Satanic liberals cannot seem to get more than a few words out without uttering profanity. They are so caught up in their "effs" and their "something-holes" that they don't see what really happened here. Abortion doctors are using "satire" to conceal their horrible crimes against humanity.

Pete and Hal are the only real men here. The rest of you are just a bunch of God-hating Sodomites. You know, it's because of people like you that God created IEDs and Fred Phelps, to spread His word on Earth.

lololololo---yes indeed "satire"----you have to be freakin' based on my seeing all the organisations you work with on this issue---time for a new approach?---maybe you need a time out to see that you might not be RIGHT-P.S. are you using your own kid as the poster child for this movement?--that is child abuse in my mind--your kid has no choice and can tug on your leg--kid is different from fetus

Gravatar Ehdee -- is the stupidity of reacting and thinking otherwise really depressing? Isn't it actually edifying?

Don't you think that God wants us to be this stupid? I certainly do. After all, college educations apparently lead to sins like profanity and awareness of the concept of "satire," which is apparently a fancy word for ripping a child out of a woman's womb.

If understan

hahahaha--this one is the best.

Good stuff! Good stuff!

Haha, stupid people are hilarious.

This guy is fucking wacko:

Summing up the "Onion" flap
The hate mail continues to flow in like water. The "intellectual left" continues to throw every cuss word in the dictionary at me. (yes, I said "cuss", not "curse", that drives them nuts too...past experience, believe me)

I won't be responding to any more of the hate mail so don't bother writing it. I created a mail rule which will automatically trash it. No, we won't open up our comments to you people who have nothing better to do than fill our comments up with your hate. Funny, how come you members of the "intellectual left" can't say two sentences without cussing?

Oh well, about the Onion article

99% of that satirical piece is purporting to describe (in a "satirical" way) the physical and emotional pain of the abortion to the woman, not the baby. This statement really tells it all:

"The funny thing is, I actually have the pro-life movement to thank for this opportunity. If my HMO wouldn't have bowed to their pressure not to cover oral contraceptives, I never would've gotten pregnant in the first place."

Do you see how they slip their agenda into a "satirical" piece? Oral contraceptives cause abortions too, just at an earlier stage than hospital abortions. Contraception is the direction of the pro-abortion movement, because they know America is waking up to the fact that abortion kills human beings and it should not have been decriminalized by the Supreme Court.

Every sperm is sacred.

Maybe this guy needs to "spill his seed" every once in a while...

Maybe he just wants to keep his "essence".

Then he should eat his cum.

He probably can't reach.

He doesn't avoid women, Mandrake.....but he does deny them his essence.

oral contraceptive kills NOTHING. this excludes RU-486 which does kill a zygote.

oral contraceptives do this:

1) make the female body think it is pregnant

2) because the body thinks it is pregnant, no ovum gets released.

3) if no ovum is released, then nothing gets killed.

4) the sperm goes on its merry way, does not find queen ovum, then gets absorbed by the female body...just like every sperm that does not find an ovum, which as you know is all but one of them under perfect circumstances.

these nuts are bad enough, but uninformed, ignorant nuts (is there any other kind really?) are the WORST.

As someone who's morally pro-life, I've always thought contraception was an enormous boon. Why have to abort an unwanted pregnancy when you can prevent it in the first place? Many Americans have really backward ideas about sex and abortion, and it's pretty lame.

Condoms waste God's sacred sperm!

God's sacred bile just rose to the back of my throat.

That's what I keep telling the rapists and the Catholic Church, as well as the masses of economically recessed and uneducated who account for such a large number of unwanted babies.
