The co...RE: Kristen's comments about potential:<br />The concept of potential--the likelihood of a realization-- can be scientifically and/or medically credible (e.g. a two year old has the potential to develop permanent molars) or faith-based (e.g. there is only one god who answers our prayers). For the majority, we realize the difference. For the few antis who fail to recognize the difference, potential lies in their imagination for a fetus. For antis, potential for women is a non issue unless it's being an incubator because they, themselves, have no potential except in terrorizing women. Despite women's unlimited potential, the antis have reduced women to body parts. In the objectification of women, the only valuable body parts are the contents of the uterus and the breasts. It only takes a cursory review of their signs and their literature to verify this. Relying on text and images of breast feeding, newborns and/or the poster child for antiabortion propaganda, Malachi, the antis demonstrate what they believe is a woman's narrowly-prescribed potential. <br /><br />So hoorah!!! for all the counselors, nurses and doctors AND the escorts who realize the potential of all women and who help women embrace their full potential.Moral Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825660887187670239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-21313394993723326092010-05-01T20:46:35.439-04:002010-05-01T20:46:35.439-04:00This was too fucked up and twisted for me to even ...This was too fucked up and twisted for me to even read. My wife and I terminated a pregnancy, and I remember how shitty we were treated by the creepy christian crowd in front of that goddamned clinic. I have learned what it means to truly hate another human being by this experience, and this comes from a guy who has had a gun to his face in a robbery. This is the sort of bullshit I reference when I tell my own daughter to NEVER join the military. I would never put her life on the line for a country that allows this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-31925419607200563532010-05-01T15:37:53.921-04:002010-05-01T15:37:53.921-04:00I agree completely Kristen.

I find it strange they go on and on about the "sanctity of life" yet show no respect for the life of the woman who is pregnant.Mr. Banana Grabberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206235648661265663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-39542111955644691882010-05-01T12:22:57.675-04:002010-05-01T12:22:57.675-04:00Why is it that they never say "If only this 1...Why is it that they never say "If only this 16 yr old girl had been able to have an abortion when she wanted, she might have been able to go on to become a doctor, or cure cancer, or become a great leader." But no, the woman never has any potential in their scenario. Only the fetus has any potential. And even if they acknowledged that the woman had potential, the potential of the fetus would still trump her's. I don't get it-once you are born you have no potential? Or do you forfeit it because you got pregnant, and by default all the potential goes to the fetus?Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679796426597205288noreply@blogger.com
