The Political Thread

[JayzusB.Christ]

I remember our whole class in secondary school was asked if we supported the abortion ban. Everyone said yes, male and female. We've changed with the times, I'm pleased to say.

I remember the exact same episode. Mind you, it was Fr. Michael Cleary doing the asking, and he threw in drink and drugs and general abstinence. The big fat hypocrite.

My word.  No one did hypocrisy like the men in black.

What bugs me most about pro-lifers is they don't seem to give a flying fuck what happens to the child once it has been born.

[IndigoPrime]

Fundamentally, it comes down to controlling women. There's nothing more to it once you see past the bullshit. Given that the Venn diagram of pro-lifers is almost a circle when it comes to support for the death sentence, denying children sex education, not supporting children in poverty, fighting against national healthcare, gun advocacy, etc, you can see that their priorities aren't about life at all.

But it again shows how language can be weaponised. 'Pro life' in and of itself is a powerful statement and sentiment.

[Funt Solo]

It's a political argument that's really easy to sell to children, as well. You say "do you want babies to be murdered?" and everyone goes "of course not, Jesus, why would anyone do that?"

Next thing you know people are parading around outside abortion clinics haranguing the patients (who are already having a pretty fucking tough day, thank you very much).

I lose my biscuits with anti-abortionists. This law in Poland (quite apart from all the other things that are wrong with it), forces women to carry to term babies that are medically guaranteed to die post-birth in great suffering. Apparently, it's God's will. If Preacher got one thing right - it's that we need to stand up to and argue with that God. Take Him to task. There's your path to revelation right there.

This is the way it was in Ireland till two years ago, I'm embarrassed to say. I remember some outraged American (male) expats moaning after the referendum that the reason they lived here was the abortion ban. There's a two - word solution to your problem, lads, and the second of those words is 'off'.

To be fair, he must be very afraid that they'll make him get an abortion.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Imagine all the hassle saved if he'd been one.

Looks like Willy Barr is about to be thrown under that proverbial bus we hear so much about these days.

Say what you like about him, but respect to him for crowbarring his tongue out for a day.

[IndigoPrime]

Barr is still somewhat playing to the crowd with lines like "we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election". This leaves the suggestion there was fraud, but it just didn't tip the balance. Still, the nutters have decided he's now part of the massive conspiracy to unseat their man, so, um, that.

It's incredible, so much so I stopped browsing it incognito mode.

This year's Parks & Recreation Holiday Special has gone too far. I blame Chris Pratt.
