Bill Clinton gave a great (if angry) rebuttal to pro-life students from the Franciscan University of Steubenville that were heckling him. He gives valid points and the video speaks for it’s self as the rest of crowd applauds him. I am not looking for a pro-life/choice debate but if you can’t help yourself go back to my previous rant on the word pro-abortion and read the comments also.
I was browsing the latest WordPress stories and came across a totally idiotic post. The title “Obama, the proabort” really set me off. If was just another of the increasingly negative slams against Barack Obama the emerging Democratic and Presidential front runner, it would not cause me to pause. The problem is a pro-abortion stance really does not exist…
Nobody who supports abortion rights believes it is the first option but is the last. No this not the same as when George said war in Iraq would be the last option. Why is so hard to understand that being pro-choice means that abortion can still not be a option at all for someone? The reason the pro-life crowd likes the term pro-abortion and not pro-choice is because it clouds the whole issue and helps them make their losing argument. Pro-abortion sounds more evil if not really accurate. I have been guilty of kinda the same thing when say pro-life people really are just pro-birth but that’s a another story.
I also took issue in the post using the term “radical”. Since when is someone a “radical” who supports Roe vs. Wade? It is the law of the land and the majority of the people do agree with the decision so it would not seem so “radical”.
Rant over and also like to disclose I am a recovering Catholic myself.
