Feeling Thinky.
Jun. 9th, 2009 10:56 pmFor the curious, I love my new job. But that's not what this post is about.
Any of you who know me IRL, and a handful of those who only know me online, know that I spend a lot of my time in...let's be generous and call them "conversations"...with those who hold viewpoints that oppose mine.
Put bluntly: I like to argue. A lot.
And for the past handful of years I've felt drawn particularly to religious or religion-based arguments, possibly just because of the sociopolitical climate, or possibly because I like my debates with a healthy dose of batshit. Who knows.*
I'm Catholic, if anyone's wondering; I'm just a pro-gay marriage, pro-evolution, pro-Choice and pro-religious-freedom Catholic who doesn't believe in Hell, which according to a lot of people makes me a very BAD Catholic. XD
Anyway, there's your background. Today's topic is abortion, specifically late-term abortions. No, I'm not planning on making this a terribly long post, I just...needed to vent this at somebody.
( But it got a little long, and also some folks don't care about this shit. )
*not meant to imply all religious folks are batshit. though i'm religious and i'm pretty batshit, so make of that what you will. XD
**edit to the last *: yeah, never mind, we're batshit.
Interested in other points of view. Sharing welcome.
