Reply #5: A few priests

[fujiyama]

and a few represenatives supporting stem cell research , still doesn't mean I'm wrong. Please explain how I am "just plain wrong"? Please give me statistics that half of the "pro lifers" support stem cell research, and that a significant number of them oppose capital punishment, and the Iraq War.

I still find the term "pro life" to be incredibly offensive and arrogant. It's a conservative trick to make liberals look like moral relativists -- use the word "life", demonize those that support a women's right to choose (apparently you don't see the pure hypocrisy in the term), and just like with the flag -- you've stolen either a word or a symbol to use for your political agenda.

And BTW, most that oppose abortion are NOT against the death penalty. Only a few Catholics are, and even that number is small. Notice the recent fuss over Kerry being pro choice. The Catholic church doesn't care that Kerry is against the death penalty, because all that matters to them is opposition to abortion.

I really have no idea why you're trying to defend anti choicers and the nut job fundy crowd. It seems as though most that consider themselves 'pro life' in the political sense, usually support Bush's policies on everything else.
