March for Children's Deaths

Okay, I'm doing an abortion post. Do you know what that means? It means that:

#1: I believe that abortion involves the killing of an innocent human being, and will therefore be arguing based on that position.

#2: If you're going to debate me in the comments, you'd better bring the best pro-abortion argument you've got, because I will destroy you (metaphorically) if you let up for even a second. See the October archives if you don't believe me.

#3: GODWIN'S LAW IS IN EFFECT. Just because abortion is similar in some ways to the Holocaust, it does not mean that being pro-choice makes someone a Nazi. Got it? Good. Let's see the article:

Hundreds of Thousands Protest Bush Abortion Policy

Hundreds of thousands of protesters rallied on the National Mall on Sunday to show support for abortion rights and opposition to Bush administration policies on women's reproductive health issues.

I wonder if they've stopped to think about the irony in the fact that if their mothers had exercised their "right to choose" and had abortions, none of them would've been there supporting abortion. You've gotta love these idiots.

Hefting signs reading "Fight the Radical Right..."

This is the world we're living in, ladies and gentlemen. If you oppose the killing of unwanted children, you are the radical.

"Keep Abortion Legal" and "U.S. Out Of My Uterus," pink- and purple-shirted demonstrators flooded downtown Washington for a daylong March for Women's Lives.

Unless, of course, those women are still unborn girls, in which case, they must die.

The abortion issue was the centerpiece of the march's broad protest against the policies of President Bush, including his stance on funding international family planning. No U.S. funds may currently be used for any family planning agency that mentions abortion to patients.

Let them use their own money if they're so set on killing friggin' kids.

"Vote That Smirk Out of Office," was a characteristically political placard targeting Bush...

What's f**king political about calling him a "smirk?"

...but Dorothy Smith, 76, of Eldridge, Missouri, carried an emblem she made herself -- a wire coat hanger draped with a sign reading "Never Again."

I'm sure the government forces people to have abortions with coat hangers.

"Free will? Wasn't that a movie about a whale?"

"I can remember when abortion was just as common as it is now, but it killed a lot of women," Smith said.

I love the old "if you outlaw abortion, people will have them anyway" argument. This is going to sound heartless, and it may make some of you hate me, but I don't f**king care how "safe" abortion is. If you're going to murder your child, you should put your own life at risk. If it takes a coat hanger to carry out your stupid f**king plan, then so be it. I. DON'T. CARE. It's all about "choice," right?

Major sponsors included stalwarts of the abortion rights movement -- NARAL Pro-choice America, Feminist Majority, National Organization for Women, Planned Parenthood Federation of America -- as well as the American Civil Liberties Union...

Well, maybe they'll still protect liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

...the Black Women's Health Imperative and the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health.

It's not healthy reproduction if the fetus dies, you know.

Some 1,400 groups attended the event, including an international contingent with marchers from 57 countries. There were medical students who carried signs saying they planned to be the next generation of abortion providers, and there was a Texas group marching behind a banner that read, "Old Broads for Choice."

So much for the "we don't like abortion, but it should be legal anyway" crowd. Future abortion providers. You people make me sick. How about trying to stop unwanted pregnancies before they begin? Would that be too f**kin' hard for you?

COUNTER-DEMONSTRATIONS

Maggie Bartles of Bradenton, Florida, and Cami Campbell of San Diego, both 11, were at the front of the pre-march crowd. Both wore pink "Student Stand Up for Choice" T-shirts.

"It should be your choice what you do with your body," Campbell said.

True. So you should choose not to have sex until you're ready to deal with the possible consequences. After that, it's about choosing what to do with someone else's body.

"I think we should get Bush out of here," Bartles added.

I'm surprised they don't want to assassinate abort him.

As the march wound from the Mall toward the White House and then turned onto Pennsylvania Avenue and moved toward Capitol Hill, abortion rights groups encountered anti-abortion protesters.

These protesters carried posters showing photographs of fetuses at eight weeks gestation and signs reading "Abortion Kills Babies."

"They're telling the truth! Get them out of here!"

March organizers hoped for a bigger turnout than a 1992 abortion rights march, which drew 500,000, according to the National Park Police, which no longer gives official crowd counts.

Maybe the rest were aborted.

The biggest demonstration was an anti-Vietnam War rally in 1969, which drew 600,000.

Fun fact: 40 million children have been killed by abortion since 1973. I wonder if they would've been there...

Gloria Feldt, president of Planned Parenthood, said the numbers on the Mall may exceed 1992.

"There is a time to march and this is the time," Feldt said. "Women's right to self-determination is on the brink."

STOP F**KING IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET PREGNANT, YOU IMBECILES!!!!!! THAT'S WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though the march was billed as nonpartisan and included a contingent called Republicans for Choice, much of the day's rhetoric was plainly against Bush, a Republican who opposes abortion in most cases.

Did they even need to tell us that?

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry vowed on Friday to champion abortion rights if elected. He received the endorsement of Planned Parenthood's Action Fund, the organization's political fund-raising arm.

As if we needed another reason not to vote for John "F**k Up" Kerry.

Neither Bush nor Kerry were expected to attend the march, but U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a New York Democrat and former first lady, drew roars of approval when she exhorted the crowd to register to vote, which could be done with volunteers.

If you need any more proof that abortion is evil, there it is.

Bush addressed an anti-abortion march in January, saying the effort to overturn the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which recognized a right to abortion, was "a noble cause."

I like how they just assume that abortion is a right, but they make sure to point out that only Bush called the fight to end abortion "a noble cause."

Have I mentioned that I have no faith in humanity? I don't think I've mentioned that in a while.

Semi-Intelligent Comments

What really irks me is the fact that generally, our society will view an unborn child only as a 'human child' if the mother wants it. Otherwise, it's a disposable item. And, how biologists can actually claim it's not a child. Surely of all people, just based on pure science, they should realize that the development of a child begins at conception - and it is a human from the start. Are we developing elephants until our expulsion from the womb? No.
Aadditionally, having to debate 20 girls in a poli sci class over the abortion issue - because I'm the only pro-life person (or at least the only one willing to 'admit' it)... augh! I'm all for pro-choice. Sex is a choice. But, apparently that is a foreign idea to the majority of my half of the species. Come to think of it, I'm surprised I didn't get lynched.....
Sorry for the rant.. but, nice job on your commentary. :)

FYI--it's "Goodwin's Law" (two "o"s)
I've had to read Roe, Griswold, Casey and a few other cases recently for my civil liberties class...so I'm still trying to form an opinion

Katherine: Rant on. I know how you feel. I debated the abortion issue with my philosophy class (and blogged about it here, here, and here) to the point where even the professor and TAs didn't have any decent arguments, and people still weren't changing their minds! It's like arguing with a brick wall.

Jaws: It looks like it is "Godwin," but that could be a typo.
