Perhaps those parents miss their daughter, who died for no reason *other
than* malicious RTLers?  And, thanks for noting your penchant for
dishonesty as long as it serves your cause.

Kee-RIST.  What do you expect when the majority of pro-"life" is based
on (a variant of) christianity, and the result of anti-abortionism
IS...FORCED...BIRTH?  That *is* misogynic, whether you can face the fact
or not.

She does.  No doubt.  What exactly are you having trouble with here?

Misguided??  If their daughter died because of some dumbfuck law
callously passed by fanatics, then there's something insidious about
outspoken rebellion against said law?  

Man...at least you've quit faking that civilized veneer you used to
smugly project, Overpeck, and are more honestly showing your real
dislike of anyone not virulently anti-choice.

You mean, like that pack of raving buffoons touring the country for
clinic "blockades".

Yeah, geez...maybe it was a Septic Abortion Tank with Toilet Pneumonia,
like your pal Suzanne suggests?

>But that's not really their fault.

You're goddamned right it isn't.  It wasn't Becky's, either.  It was
that extremely short-sighted law sticking its nose where it doesn't
belong.

Oh, that terrible Ms. Smeal! <Sniff!>  Actually using a real-life victim
of stupid laws to....*fight against that law*!  Oh, the SHAME!!

I'm sure they could give a damn about politics, as long as the result is
the death of a repressive law.  And they sure as hell don't care what
*you* think about it - a guy who equates feminists with some kind of
monsters.

>> You're disgusting, Nyikos.  

>Save some of your disgust for Eleanor et al.

How about if we save it for you, hypocrite?
