Well, I have to admit it, Pale has convinced me. Just like the good Rev. Phelps has convinced a lot of people with his own personal brand of extremism, so too has Pale convinced me. I never was a big-time supporter of abortion, but now I am.

Without strenuous opposition I think that our lives will come to be run by the kind of people that I think Pale speaks for: misogynist, religious, gay-baiting, folks who would make our country into a theocratic police-state if they had the opportunity. Anyone who feels I am overstating the case should read Pale's arguments for police-state powers on the Authoritarian=Liberals thread.

All life comes from a single source, to pick one kind of life and make it sacred at the expense of all other lives is hardly rational. The whole debate is predicated on the very judgment that Christians are forbidden to make. Babies are innocent and therefore deserve special consideration, people dying in our insane wars, starving, or shivering under bridges are not innocent so they don't deserve special consideration. It looks like bald-faced hypocrisy to me.

[QUOTE="Mare Tranquillity, post: 35134, member: 434"] Well, I have to admit it, Pale has convinced me. Just like the good Rev.
