who just writes this?
The whole point was that it was an intrusive, personal question about a sensitive topic. "Do you like strawberries?" wouldn't really have worked.

"Do you have any personal experience with abortion, because you post as if you don't therefore I shall assume you don't" in no way invites the retort "Were you abused as a child, because you post as if you were therefore I shall assume you were."
I get that lots of people who call themselves pro-choice don't actually support late-term abortions. Lots do, though. And a LOT of the dialogue on the pro-choice side doesn't seem to have a natural exemption for the late fetus.
So, when someone says "that's a decision between the mother and the doctor", it's not really what they mean? It's more "that's a decision between the mother, doctor, and me"?
No, I am undergoing a paradigm shift into what it means when someone identifies as pro-choice.
there's certainly nothing intrusive or inappropriate about asking somebody if they've had any personal experience with abortion when they've inserted themselves into a discussion about abortion
I would have thought that someone with a Retired Mod badge would know where the lines are in a Red Diamond thread.Sorry. Sometimes your tone gets to me.
You keep repeating yourself. I said "some". "Some" =/= "all."How do you keep missing my point? My point is that your argument has been used by the pro-choice side to dismiss the ENTIRE pro-life argument as hypocritical based on the actions of a minority. I'm not saying YOU SPECIFICALLY do that.
It's not made up if someone other than me already brought it up.No need to make up an issue to get offended at. No one's arguing about who does more charitable works except, apparently, you.
Yeah, right.Sometimes they even volunteer it cause they care that much about the positive benefits it had on their life![]()
