Borrowed words, but I mean every one of them.

If you're not pro-choice, and you are vocal and proud about not being pro-choice (including such lines as, "I don't understand how anyone could be pro-choice"), or if you allow discussion to happen in your journal that contains such gems as accusing George Tiller of being a "baby killer" that performed late-term abortions for fun, or allowing awful, awful trolling comments regarding what sluts and whores any woman that would ever have an abortion is?

I AM GOING TO DEFRIEND YOU.

If you want to foster discussion in your journal, fine.

If you are pro-life, and proud of it, but are respectful of those of us that are pro-choice, that's also fine. I won't defriend over either of those.

But if you're going to let people make ignorant-ass comments in your journal about how all abortions are totally wrong and 'oh my God how dare anyone ever get one', and also that George Tiller (who helped people like this and this) was a murderer, not bothering to step in when they start to attack one another or otherwise don't "foster" discussion so much as blindly attack anyone that comments back to them, citing irrelevant court cases in an attempt to prove that late-term abortion happens for reasons other than the mother's life/health being at risk/the fetus having deformities that are incompatible with life . . . that's not OK.

If you're going to let your journal turn into a pro-life circle jerk, then I'm out of here. Because seriously? Don't you fucking even try to play the, "But I am all for women's rights!" card when you're trying to restrict access to abortion.

I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but the only moral abortion is not your abortion. ALL ABORTION IS MORAL.

Good for you!

I happen to find that attitude incredibly offensive and indefensible, as well.

Would you mind if I friend you?

[raven-moon.livejournal.com]

Not at all, please do! Mind if I add you back? :)

[thecolorsanctum.livejournal.com]

Please do, I think that would be lovely.

May I ask where you are in KY? My parents are both originally from there and now retired down there - about 1-2 hrs south of Lexington. It's such a pretty state, so green and lush.

Also, must thank you for the "virtual pet" idea.

I'm the lucky caretaker of a virtual turtle named Shakespeare! *grin*

I just read below from your lj:

"I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure - that is all that agnosticism means. - Clarence Darrow, Scopes trial, 1925"

I am an agnostic myself. It just seems sensible, really. I have an idea of what I'd like the grand scheme of things to be - but how can I know?
