"I meant I'm glad that there are anti-abortion activists keeping a close eye on abortion clinics."
Not all people who are against abortion are standing in front of abortion clinics waving crazy ass signs and yelling at anyone who walks by. Remember that please. I would not feel comfortable leaving all issues in regard to abortion left in the hands of pro choice activists. Hence "I'm glad there are anti-abortion activists" out there keeping tabs on these clinics as well.
You're either honestly confused in regard to my meaning, or you're trying to paint me in a bad light. I have no clue what makes some of you tick, so I won't try to figure out which it is. Maybe I should have used the word advocate instead of activist as activists sometimes paints a more harsh picture. |
Ftk, instead of endless excuses and whining about being misunderstood, maybe you could simply spell out EXACTLY what you meant with your flowery euphemisms "going after abortion doctors" and "anti-abortion activists keeping a close eye"
cuz, for most of us here who make regular use of the english language, "going after" someone has a very clear, very not-so-peaceful meaning... |
Ok. I had no idea that after all I've said about this issue that someone would actually think I've pulled a 180 at this point in time. Gads.
Let's see....no "flowery euphemisms"....
I am abundantly grateful that there are human beings who are opposed to abortion and are willing to get involved and gather information and statistics on what is going on at clinics. I'm also glad that they work at some type of legislation on these issues. I do not want people like Gosnell to be able to get away with some of the (I'd say crimes) that he has. Yes, people who are pro-choice can obviously be beneficial to this process, but, personally, I wouldn't be comfortable knowing that only people who are not opposed to abortion were making all the decisions.
I am also saying that I cannot personally get involved because I simply do not know how to make decisions in regard to how and when an abortion should be acceptable. I know how I feel personally, but I also know that abortions will occur regardless of whether they are legal or not. So, I take the cop out...which I'm not very proud of, but I simply can't emotionally deal with making those decisions.
I really hope that is clear enough because I think I've read over it 15 times now before posting.
