Pro Life?

Published

Just wondering how the pro lifers feel about this?

7 years old and I wonder how much happiness she was able to accumulate? 

I personally think that children until the age of thirteen should only be allowed to be children and play to their hearts content with some structure for education etc. 

I wonder how many opportunities this little girl had to do that and who should bear the responsibility?

So continue voting for those republicans women and let's see what other ways they will find to subjugate you! I vote for kitchen confinement, because I have yet to meet a girlfriend who can cook ???.

Your punishment shall be to ONLY eat the "food" that is served to you by women trapped in the kitchen. And you will have to do all the grocery shopping, too, since women aren't allowed out anymore. Since education is out, forget about recipes or even understanding size differences between tsp and tbsp..

It's against TOS to make a personal attack.  I think using someone's credentials to degrade their opinion qualifies, imo., and is just wrong.

I wasn't addressing the Terms of Service, I was addressing the idea of telling people to ignore posts and not respond.  If you don't want someone to respond to a post, then don't post in the first place.  Otherwise you're going to get what you get and are free to respond back....or not.

Terms of Service violations obviously should be reported.

Questioning credentials of anonymous members who post in ways inconsistent with possession of a degree in health sciences is not an attack per se.  It's healthy skepticism.  

This is what you said:

"Now tell me again why a nurse such as yourself has no idea when and why late term abortions might be recommended by medical professionals in a plan of care discussion...tell me why that bit of reproductive health care is beyond your comprehension. "

So, your saying you're questioning whether she is really a nurse because she, in your opinion, is mis or uninformed on late-term abortions.

Yep. It's difficult to imagine getting though nursing school and not having a clue as to why an abortion might be recommended late in a pregnancy.

I can offer an answer to this. Many schools back in the day weren't dealing with the concept openly. Abortions, as a general occurrence,  were discussed as up to about 20 weeks, as most states were at that time point when I was in school. Late term was looked at differently, discussed as lifesaving measures. Nowadays, the media (left, right, and independent) have it put there as an open topic, and it is more openly discussed,  and the connotations, by all, are far different. I would venture a guess that a newer nurse would have more of a grasp on that than I would. That's not set in stone either, but just my guess

I went to college and nursing school back in the day.  In fact I attended nursing school when legalized abortion was sort of a new thing in my state of residence because of Roe.  We learned about life threatening complications of pregnancy.

Sure.  We're supposed to believe you remember what you learned about abortions in nursing school vs what you learned in the 40 plus years since.

I'm not sure we covered much.  Maybe a few minutes in a lecture and a page in a textbook.  Unless you're going into a related field, it isn't even close to being in the top 1000 things you learn in nursing school.

In short, it's dumb to be skeptical that someone is a nurse based on what they know about abortions. But, you know that.  Troll away, if you must.

As you can see, I didn't claim to have learned much about abortion in college in the 70s.

I learned quite a bit about both of those things after college because my spouse was employed in OB, antepartum care and high risk L&D for a number of years. Hopefully we've all learned something about reproductive health care since abortion was made accessible to all women.

It's always been the case that when you make a public post you're going to get responses back whether you like or desire the response or not.  I can appreciate that you don't want comments from a particular person, but there is a way for you to "ignore" them.  Maybe someone from administration or another member can help you with that.  I don't know how to do it because I'm too nosy.

I would never block anyone's speech even if just from myself. I have opposing opinions with allot of people on here and they do not behave like that or at least not as often. 

This jumper does it constantly to anyone he doesn't agree with. I find that bigoted and will call it out when j see it.

There us a difference between abortion and induced labor. Abortion ends the pregnancy in the womb, inducing labor delivers a possibly viable baby. There is no need to end a pregnancy in the uterus after 24 week for the mothers health or safety. That's early birth. If baby dies after, still not an abortion. Did you learn that 40 years ago? 

The only reason would be to not want the pregnancy.

I wasn't addressing that you were calling the poster out as I fully support that.  I was addressing that you were asking him not to respond to your posts because you didn't like what he was saying back.

No no. Sorry. I think he can say whatever he wants but doesn't have to insult everyone when doing it. Especially when he talks about propaganda all the time and none calling and devaluation is number one propaganda.
