I don't remember what comedian...
You should think a second time before taking a comedian's words at face value. He's simply taking the term and making it mean something other than how people usually use it. I mean really, if you wanted to play around you could say that no one is really pro-choice because they aren't for all choices ever. It's an arbitrary term, it's silly to look deeper into it.
The comedian might not have taken it at face valur, but I can. And the term does matter. The term is what is supposed to summorise the group and if they have a term as condescending like this, it matters.
And to quote Geroge Carlin:
They're anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don't like them. They don't like women. They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.
Well that sounds pretty untrue. They just don't like women? Do you think they're some kind of one dimensional villains? If you're going to talk about it, maybe tear them down based on something they say?
In this case, I wasn't taking the comedian seriously, not as much anyway. Some of these people are women so it's not a big argument. But one could look past the "humor" and see that he meant that they want to controle what a women does. They take the choice away from her in a way that does not affect men, so to an extent, they are anti-women.
I say people shouldn't interfere in what is not their buisness.
They obviously disagree that it is not their business so those will be empty words unless someone already agrees with you.
Well, yes obviously they do disagree, if not, this argument would not excist now, would it? But that does not change the fact that as my opinion stands, this is none of their buisness. I began the sentence with "I say" meaning it's a personal opinion. And yes... people do agree with me, that's why there are two sides to this.
I think your post could have been done better. I'm pro-choice, but quibbling over the name they chose and making accusations about motives is a pretty bad way to start.
Making accusations about motives is a big part of the argument. You would view it differently if someone stle an aplle if they were starving or if they were just being dicks. The motive does matter and especially in this case, were decisions affect so many people. But your post is a post of semantics about a post that you dislike? Either have an opinion on the matter or don't post. Don't make a lengthy thread about what you dislike about the post itself when you could just give an opinion on the matter.
