Parting is such sweet sorrow...

It seems I turned off a girl who was into me by posting the following on facebook:

"Truth be told, he (Kirk Cameron) and others who share the same mindset DON'T believe in what they say; for them being pro-life ends at birth, after that you're on your own. Short sighted indeed, especially when they want to eviscerate ANY kind of social safety net that would keep her and her new born afloat. And God forbid if she did the right thing (in their opinion) and kept the baby -- even worse if she applied for any kind of public assistance! All those people who were concerned are now going to call her a parasite, or a slut. If you're going to be pro-life be pro-life womb to tomb!"

The sad part, she was starting to grow on me... Oh well, c'est la vie.

1. How do you know all that about Kirk Cameron? I haven't seen him say any of that.

I did see him talk about gays, but did I miss the other stuff? I admit, I don't follow the guy.

2. Along with being a homophobe he's 100% anti-choice.

3. You did great, you dodged a bullet.

Those that have not read Kirk's rants may not get it, but that guy is off the reservation by miles.
He is a total Christozombie, and everything you said.

Cheers

4. 'if you're pre-born, you're fine'

These conservatives are really something, aren't they? They are all in favor of the unborn, they will do anything for the unborn, but once you're born, you're on your own! Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that they don't want to know about you, they don't want to hear from you . . . no neo-natal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing! If you're pre-born, you're fine. If you're pre-school, you're fucked. Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach military age. Then they think you are just fine, just what they've been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. -George Carlin, Back in Town (1996)

5. I miss George ...

When I first saw "Back in Town" I was 12.

It made sense to me then, I just don't understand why it doesn't make sense to those who are twice that age.

6. She is pro birth, not pro life

Pro life would include capital punishment and elimination of war and poverty.

7. It's funny how brainwashed these people are

There was a time, not too long ago, when religion gave a voice to those beaten down by the plutocrats, but now if you ask a religious person (especially in my area) their thoughts about social/economic justice you get a "WTF" face.

It's all about abortion and their disdain for the LGBT community; what's the point of religion if you're only going to use it as a tool to tear a people down?
