(2,042 posts)"I have to say that I have stopped trying to think of it from the point of view of the anti-abortionists. They never try to think of it from my point of view. And here's the thing: I would NEVER, NEVER, NEVER require that they live by my beliefs. And I am tired of giving them a pass when they require that I live by their beliefs, simply because they really, really believe their beliefs. When I realized that their belief strength was no greater than mine, I stopped giving them the benefit of the doubt."
The other side wouldn't/doesn't give a rat's ass about our beliefs on this matter, do they? Hence their T-shirt slogan: "Fuck your feelings."
That and what mountain grammy said. And I'm so glad it was just a scare for you both times and you didn't have to make the decision either way.
And just as an aside, God, I love this forum! To have a place to actually work things out in your own mind, from reading other people's posts and with input from others on one's own posts and then mulling shit over. I tell you, if it weren't for DU, I would have just, I don't know, imploded a few times from the daily assault on humanity over the past five years, courtesy of the Republican Party and TFG.
Have a good evening, Scrivener7!
