Talk:Australian Government censorship of US anti-abortion site abortiontv.com, 21 Jan 2009
From WikiLeaks
Yay!
Really, I'm not sure I object. I mean, censorship is wrong in general, but aborted fetuses? Any website pandering to emotion on that base a level is devoid of any sympathy from me. If the subject isn't important to me, or I disagree, in other words, then I like censorship.
- I don't sympathize with the website owners either. That doesn't mean it's OK for the government to fine people for linking to them. Truthspeaker 23:11, 18 March 2009 (GMT)
Gotta say i agree, that website is a horrible misrepresentation at every turn. Though i'm totally against censorship, we should have something that protects people from being given false information passed off as science or fact to take life changing decisions on.
yay my ass! People need to see that these are really small babies, not fetuses,you sick murdering asshole!
OP - A granny smith is an apple. A small baby is a fetus. They are one and the same - I don't object to the realization thereof, but rather to the employment of emotional ties to address what is a medical, scientific, and moral issue. I also agree with Truthspeaker as to the fines. HOWEVER, the fact remains; abortion is a medical procedure. Showing pictures of a medical procedure has no legitimacy as an argument for or against a medical procedure. I am actually against abortion in most cases, viewing it as a surgical procedure; it is intended to fix a problem, not let someone have unprotected sex with impunity. And calm down, I don't think it should be banned either. I just think it should be viewed medically. Putting up pictures in an effort to rely on emotional baggage simply detracts from the issue and makes any argument seem fanatical and inane; it is not a sound debate tactic. Nor is calling someone with whom you disagree a "sick murdering asshole". That just tends to make you look... well... stupid.
i'm going to have nightmares, lying basterds say they are fetusess THEY ARE DEAD BABIES NOT ABORTED FETUSESS!!! although it's wrong to say they are it's not illegal, that's a fact!
