Everytime Sam Elliot2 shows up I hear that old 'and twins' jingle from Coors Light. Must be something with the flowing locks. Anyway since we're talking about class and abortion, here's something to bring them all together. Don Burdett runs a blog that my relatives on facebook like, and he draws cartoons to go along with his posts.

We've seen a lot of "fetus as six-year-old" cartoons in this thread, but this is the first time I've seen one based on a tattoo/mudflap-style "sexy lady" form and pose.

I can't believe the term "politically correct" is still a thing. The early 90s ended a long time ago.

People say "political correctness gone mad!" when they perceive an overreach in censorship (be it from government or otherwise), but I've never actually seen a moderate and appropriate usage of political correctness. Is the term 'political correctness' always used negatively?

What is with that big white spot on the duck's head in the last panel? Did he just copy-paste the coloring on his head from panel five and then forget to fill in the larger area occupied by the eyes?

The issue is that some people relish those moments, as if they've been waiting for the smallest excuse that they can take. The only unambiguously appropriate time to say the n-word is when you're black. Lucky for the rest of us, "The n-word" has become such a recognizable euphemism, that even when talking about the n-word, we don't need to actually use the word.

Rorus Raz posted:I have talked with fundamentalist Christians about real extreme poo poo like forbidding abortion even in the event of rape. Their logic is "the child shouldn't be punished for the sins of the father." I gotta say, I understand this is my weird soapbox to stand on and all, but I always hated "no abortions except in cases of incest or rape." I have a friend who was born of rape and his mother was born of incest. Is he less worthy of existing than other people? I have a real problem with that logic. If abortion is wrong because that's a human life, whether it was created by rape or incest shouldn't matter; a human life is a human life is a human life. EDIT: Please don't argue with me about abortion on its own; I don't think the unborn are a human life in any case, my point is merely that a human life born of rape or incest shouldn't be considered less valuable than one born otherwise. chairface fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Aug 2, 2015 |

A pro-choice stance on the matter would be that abortion should be legal regardless of the circumstances leading up to the conception. That the pro-life stance is that abortion should be legal only in cases of rape and incest stems from how in such scenarios the woman did not choose to engage in sexual activity of her own volition.

I'm personally pro-choice but the single defensible basis on which I could respect a person saying they were pro-life is if they viewed all the unborn as unambiguously being human lives, and in that case I cannot respect a distinction on the basis of rape/incest. A human life born of rape/incest is still a human life and has as much a right to exist as you or I, assuming an innate right to be be born, which I personally do not assume.

You make a good point, but I think the reason why "no abortions ever" is seen as more heinous because it's not even letting the woman have control over her body when she's the victim of a horrendous crime. One could argue that exceptions for rape and incest makes it obvious that the anti-abortion movement is about punishing women for having sex. I still think no exceptions is still pretty lovely, not to devalue the baby's life, but because the pregnancy is a reminder of one of the worst times of a person's life. It's really a moot point in the end, because you're just arguing which of two lovely position is worse. I don't think your reasoning is all that weird though.

Oh I see why they'd want to be wishy washy or weasely about it. But if #1 abortion is wrong because the unborn are human lives (again, I do not personally believe this) then #2 human lives are human lives are human lives, and it shouldn't matter if the unborn human lives were created via rape or incest. If that lump of cells is a human life, it's a human life regardless of if its grandpa is also its daddy or whatever.

This is actually how I feel about abortion but I never bother to tell anyone in real life because its pointless. Its not like my view of life can change the reality of why people get abortions. So many people use abortion as an excuse to punish women for having sex that expressing any kind of opposition to it will get you lumped in with them. There's no reason to fight abortion even if you believe fetuses are alive. You'd be better off tackling all the myriad of issues that can lead to people pursuing abortion in the first place.

Yes, because it's pretty much always been a pejorative. Politically correct was used by communists to call out people who were overly devoted to the party line to the detriment of ethics or common sense. Progressives in the US kept that sentiment but used it as a satirical self-critique, a way to mock over-serious elements of the movement or poke fun at the platonic liberal ideal. D'Souza picked it up at some point and either didn't get or deliberately ignored that it was a joke, redefining it as the liberal gestapo forcing multiculturalism down our throats. And now I am obligated to post some Politically Correct. Since I brought up self-satire here's one Huber did as an April Fools joke about what liberals see Republicans as-

The "pro-life" side is definitely aware of this problem, they're just thinking in the long term. They don't like making these compromises, but they're trying to adjust the law gradually so that they can eventually outlaw it in every circumstance. These are smart, dedicated, and cruel people who will stop at nothing to get each blastocyst out into America.
