Which IMO is not what they meant.

Alright. It just seems like a very extreme position for someone here to take, even for fundamentalists.

Oh, there probably are people here who believe it is their deities will that they create as many babies as possible and condemn abortion for that reason. It *is* a pretty common reason to oppose abortion after all.

Yes, but the justification for rape is what's particularly extreme.

*shrug*. Traditionally the Abrahamic religions teach that if a woman is raped, she should be married to her rapist. It is not especially shocking that some people still think that way.

You indeed never said nor implied that and it is bad that people claim you did.

I didn't know if you did that. AS said you did, AM said you didn't, and you say you didn't. Unless AS can prove that you did, then I don't think you did.

I will take that as a sign that Kexholm did not justify any such thing.

People who get aborted go to heaven the people who abort go to hell because the child who got aborted wants justice on his mother for denying him the will to live that why they suffer internal hell fire when they die because they continue to commit murder and not repent of it and continuing to deny gods mercy. So I’m pro life but justice will upon those who abort in the after life for denying children soul the will to live amongst men on earth. I’m pro choice because wanna see children have the chance to live as a normal human being.

LMAO. I lean towards pro life on the abortion issue but bringing religion into it is dumb. My sister has had an abortion. Do I still love her? Of course.

Wait whoa whoa. So if aborted people go to Heaven, why do people oppose it? What with the likelihood of life leading to the damnation of the born (depending on which religion is right, the maximum odds of escaping damnation is what, one in seven or something) why would you want so many babies to go to Hell?

Seems a bit harsh, man.

I mean babies go to heaven and people who commit abortions know as murder go to hell if they don’t repent for a baby didn’t commit sin is saved and goes to heaven for a baby deny the way of living is murder on a fellow human being and those babies want justice on their mother’s soul so many of these aborted babies will bring gods wrath this world for a women’s choice is not merciful on babies point of view In heaven.

Yes you can.

Prolife- believing abortion is morally wrong, and recommending against getting one.

Pro choice- believing that abortion should be legal as the state lacks the constitutional authority to violate bodily sovereignty.

If one considers them different axes, it is quite possible to be both pro-life and pro-choice.
Your faith does not amuse me. Fundamentalism is a singularly unfunny disposition- A Rightist Puppet

In short, "fascist" is a modern word for "heretic," branding an individual worthy of excommunication from the body politic. The right uses otherwords ("reverse-racist," "feminazi," "unamerican," "communist") for similiar purposes, but these words have less elastic meanings. Fascism, however, is the gift that keeps on giving. - Jonah Goldberg, revisited.
