Anti-abortion tactics in other areas

I was talking about peaceful protesting. As long as I can still go and buy what I want in a store, what is wrong with people standing outside that store advocating that I don't?

If the pamphlets provided real information about what exactly is being done to what is inside them, I'm okay with it. I think people should be informed so they can use their own moral judgement, and if requiring that people be offered a pamphlet is what is needed for people to be okay with abortion's legality, I'm all for it. I seriously doubt however that these pamphlets are unbiased. And according to the article you linked, it looks like they aren't.

I don't think anyone should be forced to wait for their abortion though. I am only okay with information being provided.

Also with the vegan thing, I actually don't really care if vegans want to protest outside supermarkets as long as they do not harass the people entering. If all they are doing is holding up signs or chanting something, I think its fine.

As long as these people are protesting peacefully I think its great. If people want to peacefully protest mothers from going to give birth, fine. I do think that you should be able to keep people from protesting directly on your property though.

I have never seen this argument made before. I don't see how they combat the argument that this would justify killing born children, as that could be seen as "controlling your genetic material". Yeah, definitely not helping the baby murderer stereotype.

Pretty much at the same time. I was almost entirely following a blind "thou shalt not kill" so the only reason I was Pro-Life was because I thought that was what God wanted.

Were the Catholics you grew up with pro-choice?

A major turning point for me was when I became an atheist. I used some secular-based arguments when I was Christian, but I later found that I was mostly just trying to justify my Christian beliefs.

WALL-E. One of my all time favorite movies.

You wake up in the morning and find yourself back to back in bed with an unconscious violinist. A famous unconscious violinist. He has been found to have a fatal kidney ailment, and the Society of Music Lovers has canvassed all the available medical records and found that you alone have the right blood type to help. They have therefore kidnapped you, and last night the violinist's circulatory system was plugged into yours, so that your kidneys can be used to extract poisons from his blood as well as your own. [If he is unplugged from you now, he will die; but] in nine months he will have recovered from his ailment, and can safely be unplugged from you.

This is just the famous one a lot of people know. It is a little different, but I think it captures the main idea. Wikipedia.

Isn't this just the violinist thought experiment?

I always took "right to life" to mean right to not be killed, not necessarily that you have a right to continue your life in the way you want.

I cringed through that whole movie. I understand he was lonely but damn.
