So... I am knee-deep in a discussion on choice. [View all]
About this post(er):
http://www.democraticunderground.com/124044155
I am advocating PPR on this poster and being met with some pushback that 'it does not cross the line'.
It's a legal medical procedure fully supported by Democrats in our platform. Millions of women make the choice and this kind of shaming is unacceptable here. It's bad enough we have to weather the gauntlet when we go to a clinic, but here?
People get banned for saying they're grossed out by same sex couples. And they should. But this ranks right up there, too and should be handled in the same manner. Calling it murder is calling millions of women and their providers murders and our entire party accessories to murder. Asking why further action wasn't taken seems valid.
If someone called you a rapist for having sex with your partner, Or a thief for accepting a monetary gift, they'd be crossing the line.
Murder is a legal term, a heinous crime. Calling women who have abortions murder is wrong and violates TOS.
I am very upset that this issue is not being taken seriously enough to warrant banning. A precedent has been set that, while it doesn't meet community standards, a poster can spew this bullshit here and remain.
Thoughts?
