Murdering the unborn? That's kind of a loaded statement.
I guess we know where you stand on the issue. :?

[AdamInPlaidum]

OK...what the fuck. I can't believe PLANNED PARENTHOOD is making these! You know the only people who wear them are going to be little bastard teenagers who think they are funny.

[EDIT]- For the record, if I got a girl pregnant, I would let her know that I feel she should have the baby, as I would want to take care of it even if she didn't, but ultimately, the decision would be hers.

[The Successful Dropout]

only medium and large? bastards

[Sartori]

I'm pro abortion.

I wouldn't care to flaunt it this way, but that's up to them.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

I wanted one made that said "I aborted Hillary's second spawn." but alas.... they were out of stock.

Just for the record, I am pro-choice. I have stated that before and will continue to do so. However I have no idea why anyone would want to brag about something like this.

[SilveRaven]

Great for all those who want to assert a powerful message in support of women's rights, I can just imagine the uproar that would cause though. I would imagine your shirt getting trashed, maybe not.

[lain21us]

I'm pro abortion.

I wouldn't care to flaunt it this way, but that's up to them.

I'm sure you mean pro-choice, not pro-abortion. Anybody who likes abortion is a real sick f*ck.

And for those who are pro-choice, what the hell gives some slut the right to kill her baby (which can feel), just because she's afraid of getting in trouble with her parents? And these t-shirts just show how fucked up these people are. If you "had" to kill your baby, shouldn't you be a little bit upset about it? The real issue here is chicks who had an abortion not liking to be told they did something wrong. I think these women need to be more accountable.

[The Successful Dropout]

if i saw someone wearing one, i'd high five the girl/woman for being so secure about her decisions

[kraid]

*Shakes head*

I can't belive something as offensive as this can be sold. If I saw someone walking down the street in one of those I would glare at the person and if that person says anything to me, let's just say I would easily be provoked to do something about it.

[Cornfedwb]

How is pro-choice any different from pro-abortion? I understand it sounds bad, and might make you feel a little guilty, but its the same thing.

That being said, I now consider myself pro-abortion.. I was heavily pro-life (even did some protesting, etc at one time).. but after carefully looking at the issue, I just was unable to say the fetus is a living being and subject to the rights of a human.

However, I don't know anyone thats really proud of having had an abortion, apathetic about it at best. So I don't know who would buy a shirt like that.

Well let's just say.. if you're willing to get into a fight over a t-shirt someone else is wearing.. you need to grow up. In fact, its not worth even glaring at the person, if you don't agree with it, don't look at it.

[reiketsukan]

Well yes they are the same thing. But killing someone because they look at you funny, or because you are defentding yourself is still killing someone too. Its the ethics behind it. Am I pro-choice yes. Does that make me pro-abortion no not really. Its not like I think everywoman should go out and suck the unborn babies out of themselfs. But I do belive there are circumstances in which it would be better for the mother and the unborn child if the woman did have an abortion.

Listen.. Pro-Choice and Pro-Life are really poor titles for the two groups, obviously Pro-lifers aren't anti-choice and vice versa. Pro-abortion and anti-abortion would be much more proper titles. But the pro-choicers don't want to be called something so mean, and pro-lifers don't want to be anti- anything.

Its all hype or spin or whatever you want to call it. But if you're pro-choice (as I am), then you're pro-abortion.

"Pro-choice" comes off as nothing but a politically correct term to me.

It's worthy of note that I don't care about political correction.

[kraid]

I said if I'm provoked, otherwise I'd just walk on. Besides, how would I know that I don't agree with it without looking at it?
Speaking of abortion, whose to say one can kill an unborn child? What if you were almost that unborn child but someone stepped in to prevent your biological mother from doing it? Also, I notice all the 'pro-choice' people say something along the lines of, "I would let them (the woman) decide." It takes 2 to make a baby. I would like all the 'pro choice' people to witness an abortion, or hey even read up on them. Coat hanger method anyone? Abortions are really sick and should be outlawed.

let me know if this happens...if someone wears this shirt and you're "provoked" to do something about it....i will personally come to your house and whip your ass...and no, this isn't "internet talk"...this is, "you're a dumbass and deserve your ass beat for that statement" talk

Shaq-fu you. The way you feel about what I said is how I would feel seeing something as offensive as a shirt like that. Try reading what I said too idiot. If I'm confronted I won't step down.

[Tromack]

-No abortions
-boo
-Abortions for all

-Abortions for some; miniature American flags for the rest
-yay

[Sartori]

Double standards for people.

[The Successful Dropout]

Yeah but its you're right to state your opinion...it is not your right to "do something about it." You said that as if you're gonna fight them, punch them, spit on them, something physical. You have the right to wear a shirt saying, "If you have had or are going to have an abortion, you are a Fu(ker and I hate you and you should rot in HELL." That is your option and it is your opinion. If someone who is for abortions "does something about it," I would take up for you. I am for abortions, but I am more for right over wrong. You are wrong.

[Xevious]

The Iraq war was responsible for murdering millions of unborn children too. Do you remember the Iraq war, Pittsburgafterdark?

[Tromack]

The Iraq war was responsible for murdering millions of unborn children too. Do you remember the Iraq war, Pittsburgafterdark?

And thousands of born people, too. What is your stance on postnatal abortions?

[kraid]

Again, I said I'm confronted. If you were careful to read it I would walk on IF I'm not confronted but I would still stare them down. So you think you are 'right' for being 'pro-abortion?' Wow, unfucking believable.

[The Successful Dropout]

I didn't say that I think I'm right for being pro-abortion...I didn't mention that all, I said that I am for it. And I don't think, I know. You thinking you're a bad ass for staring someone down is pathetic. If you don't like it, turn away. No need for you to be a bitch. I bet you my life that if I was wearing that shirt, you wouldn't stare me down. I also bet you my life that if any guy your size or bigger then you was wearing that shirt, you also wouldn't stare them down. I am positive you would only do this to females and guys who are smaller then you.

[jmcc]

In case I missed it's debunktion earlier on in the thread, pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion, it means just what it says: that you're fine with a woman chosing to have a child or not to have it. Pro-abortion would mean you'd push for abortion in all cases, which only the voluntary human extintionists (http://www.vhemt.org/) would get behind.

In any case, these shirts discriminate against men. I recommend a unisex version (http://www.likebuttah.com/kusotare/StoreFiles/tmpl.php?DisplayPage=AbortionTeePreview).

[Tromack]

That is awesome.

[mernst23]

So do they make em for guys too?

[zewone]

I am pro-choice but this shirt is just a little bit too much. It's a pretty sensitive subject and portraying (sp) it out in public like that is not something I would want to see.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

Millions? Wow, your statistics are much different than the rest of those I've come across.

Are you using fuzzy math?

[anthonyi]

Totally sick that this is put out by an entity as large as PP it hurts my heart to even read that, I wish people would not want to buy that.

It's like wearing a "I am a child molester" or " I like superman video games" shirt.

[Cracka]

do any of you know how they abort fetus's?

in one way, they make a hole in the baby's head and suck out the brain matter with a machine.

another way they break off the fetus's limbs and i'm not sure if they then pull it out or if the mother gives birth to it.

[bignick]

Abortion should be illegal.

[Mookyjooky]

Im pro-choice and I feel that the msg is going to be lost in the agressive assertive tone of the shirt.

I love my girlfriend...but I dont fuck her in public.

It's as tasteful as this shirt.

http://www.tshirthell.com/shirts/products/a102/a102_a_01.jpg

[Mookyjooky]

Oya...thank for bringing up this lame thread. No one really cares whether anyone is pro-anything. This thread is going to become a flame war soon so....


http://home.ntelos.net/~mookyjooky/niceGAYthread.jpg

[Vthornheart]

Wow... to be honest, at first I thought that was some kind of fraud or bad joke. I don't yet know where I stand on Abortion, as I'm still learning about the technical nature of it (conciousness of fetuses etc)... but that seems to be a bit much [both the subject of the post and, on the other side, the writing on the shirt]. Now, it would be humorous if men bought it however. =)

[Fourth Stooge]

For those of you who are pro-abortion/pro-choice, would you care to define when life begins in terms of days, weeks or months? That's the fundamental question. I don't think it's intellectually honest to say it's up to one possibly frightened individual, the woman/mother, to decide when another life begins. There should be one standard of life for all.

I would rather err on the side of being too restrictive of abortions than allow a human life to be lost.

Pregnancy is not a sickness and children are not a curse. I have known plenty of women who have somehow managed to make it through an unexpected pregnancy and somehow go on to live happy, productive lives.

[judyjudyjudy]

I'm not going to argue abortion issues (that was pretty futile on a previous thread). But back to the topic of the shirt...

Yes, it is tasteless, if someone is just wearing that in any everyday situation, like to school or to the grocery store. However, my guess is that this shirt would probably be worn at a protest rally or something like that. In that context, it doesn't seem as weird IMO.

[Neo]

Just sick. Abortion should be illegal, since it's Murder.

[Valkryst]

LoL...

Kraid can you read?

"I would let them [the woman] decide." It takes 2 to make a baby.

"I would let them decide."

"Them" does not describe 1 person.

"Them" is plural.

Therefore gg, you fail english.

[ZForce915]

Dude! I'm all for letting a woman make her own choice on this, but if she is bragging about it, that's sick.

[ZForce915]

Just sick. Abortion should be illegal, since it's Murder.

Good thing you (and Big Nick up there too), aren't the ones calling the shots. But it's nice to know that you think you know what's best for everyone. The situation might be different if YOU had to carry the child.

[ZForce915]

EDIT

I'm apparently blind.

[Cornfedwb]

Again, I'm pro-choice, this is not a pro-life rant, just an odd comment. But, has anyone noticed that our government legalizes abortions.. yet if someone kills a pregnant woman he can be charged with both the murder of the woman and her unborn child?

If that's not a classic government double standard, I don't know what is. If they truly believe the man killed the fetus and its murder, then abortion should in no way be legal.

And to whomever brought up clothes-hanger abortions.. thats what happens in back alleys when abortions are illegal. By abortions being legal it prevents the majority of this sort of unsafe action.

The anti-abortion lobby pushed hard for this after Laci Peterson's murder and I believe they fully intend to use it as a foot in the door to outlaw abortions all together.

[Cornfedwb]

I believe they'll do the same thing. Quite frankly, Roe v Wade really outstepped the boundries of the Supreme Court's powers. If it comes back to the court, that ruling will most likely get reversed (especially with a relatively conservative court as we have now). I truly don't expect abortion to be legal for more than another ten, maybe twenty years.

[LV-426RS]

After further inspection, I have reason to think this link is bogus. Try going to PlannedParenthood.com and find this shirt by yourself. Go ahead. Try it.

Found it. Go to their websites store... http://www.plannedparenthood.org/store/

search for "I had an abortion"

and it takes you here... http://search.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=ppfastore&query=i+had+an+abortion& .autodone=http%3A%2F%2Fstore.yahoo.com%2Fppfastore %2Fnsearch.html

[jmcc]

It's not hard to find at all. It's under "wearables with a message."

[fireball343]

i'm angainst abortion, if your screwing around with a girl and viec versa. your own fault, there's birth control people. and condoms,

yeah i know they don't work everytime.

only reason to have an abortion is if your raped, i don't care if you can't finnacially take care of your kid. or any other excuse. you made an adult choice to have sex, now you get the consequences.

you can't go rob a place and then get caught and say hey, hold it, i'm aborting this robbery. okay tony, let's go. while hit the one on 5th and main instead.

[catacasa]

My ex-slu....er, ex-GF had one before I met her and it always ate her up. I pretty much hate her, so this would make a wonderful "surprise" gift for her. Good thing I kept her address.
Thanks!

[jmcc]

I agree, but because I firmly believe that science will have a way to incubate a fetus to maturity outside of it's mother's body by then. Everyone should be happy with that, I think.

[ZForce915]

It's not hard to find at all. It's under "wearables with a message."

I see it now. I guess I was really, really hoping it was an error. That was pretty easy to find, I'm not sure how I missed it.

I almost didn't respond to this, because I'm somehow sure you're under 15, 16 tops. But.. the robbery analogy is utter crap, it has nothing to do with abortion.

Now, you believe abortion is wrong.. from your post it seems that its because you believe its avoiding the consequences. Well in that case we shouldn't be working on AIDs research and you shouldn't be able to take herpes medication. In fact if you get in an automobile accident that's your fault.. well you should have to face the consequences, so no hospital for you.
However, if you believe abortion is wrong because its murdering the fetus. How can you explain that the murder is ok if the mother is raped? There's no possible explanation to justify that. And think about that in the real world. If the laws stated abortion was only legal in cases of rape and immediate medical necessity to the mother.. you'd end up with two things: A. women getting unsafe, unclean abortions in back alleys. B. rape accusations would go through the roof (girl and guy have sex, girl gets pregnant, gets scared, acuses boyfriend of rape, gets abortion, may or may not drop case).

The entire question of whether or not abortion should be legal has to boil down to "is the fetus alive, and does it have rights?". If it doesn't, then the government has no right to regulate the woman's right to abort her pregnancy. If it is, then the government has every right to illegalize it (as the have the right to outlaw murder, robbery, incest, etc).

Personally, I consider the fetus to be just that, a fetus, not a human being. But mucking up the issue with "face your consequences" and "its all about freedom" and "its terribly painful to the fetus", etc, etc.. doesn't help the discussion.

[agapens]

If someone started selling "I Blew Up an Abortion Clinic" shirts online, I think some of you guys might start to see the other side of this argument. Do what you gotta do, but let's not be flippant about the end of an innocent life.

the okay if it's a rape is that your going to have a kid that you didn't concive with someone you wanted to concive a child with.

the problem is that by making it legal to abort, is for teenagers, it makes it so, the condom failed, my parents will find out, i'll go get an abortion.
if you manged to have sex i think you can go to doctors appointment too, without your parents knowing.

the rape if one partner is underage, that law is messed up. 1. because someone who we heard about through a chain of friends said they knew someone who's kid was having sex with his girlfriend in his girlfriends house. the second he turned 18 and was older than the girl, they had him arrested for rape.

i'm a Christian, i stand behind my beliefs %100.

[Cornfedwb]

But how does that make it ok to "murder the unborn child"?

if you manged to have sex i think you can go to doctors appointment too, without your parents knowing.

If you're under 18, you need either your parent's permission or a court order to get an abortion. And again, you're mucking up the issue with unimportant side comments, if the fetus does not have rights, then it doesn't matter why people get an abortion.

the rape if one partner is underage, that law is messed up. 1. because someone who we heard about through a chain of friends said they knew someone who's kid was having sex with his girlfriend in his girlfriends house. the second he turned 18 and was older than the girl, they had him arrested for rape.

I find that story completely unbelievable. First off, almost every state has a grace period (to the affect of girl over 16, guy can be up to 20 or something like that) and every state has a law to the affect of "if the couple was engaging in legal sexual activity before one individual was eighteen years of age, they may continue to engage in said sexual activity".

i'm a Christian, i stand behind my beliefs %100.

As am I, and as do I.. what does that matter?

You didn't answer a single one of my points, you just re-iterated your original points and threw in a comment about statuatory rape for some reason.

[E-Z-B]

Is it the kid's fault that he/she was conceived through rape? Isn't it still MURDER to get an abortion? Under the Neo-con rule, you're either for or against abortion. NO gray areas. Another example of them dividing americans.

The bible doesn't specifically say anything about abortion either. People twist passages to justify their beliefs on this issue, but there is no mentioning of abortion specifically.

[Cracka]

if anyone read my previous post, you can probably tell i'm against Abortion and i think it should be illegal. The whole process of aborting a fetus is wrong.

Abortion should be made illegal, and instead of abortion, people should look into adoption. Every child should be given a chance to have a life. IMO abortion is pretty selfish. "meh... i dont want a baby.. kill it..".

If a chick gets raped and it results in a pregnancy, she should have the baby and either keep it or put it up for adoption.


if the fetus isnt alive, why isnt it just taken out of the mother? why to they have to suck the brain matter out and break off the arms and legs? seems crazy to me.

Ok, I must have missed it earlier, though: how are you qualified to decide what half the population does with their bodies?

[Cornfedwb]

Ok, I must have missed it earlier, though: how are you qualified to decide what half the population does with their bodies?

Again, if we decide the fetus is a human being, with all the rights of a human being, then we (read, the legislature) do have the right to decide what the pregnant women do with their bodies. There's alot of conversation about the good and bad of abortion.. but none of it matters other than Is or Is not the fetus a living, human being?

[DCriminal]

The women that I know that have made this extreemely tough and personal decision, wouldnt wear a T-Shirt exclaiming that they had an abortion. For that matter, the ones that I know that decided to have the baby wouldn't wear a T-Shit comparing people that had an abortions to terrorists: http://www.christianshirts.net/products.php?product=1127

[-Never4ever-]

If I eevr saw someone wearing that tee, I would go off on them, I think I'd turn pycho or something.

Regardless of what anyone says abortion is murder. To give anyone the choice of abortion is to give someone the choice of murding another human being. I'm all about free speech and the rights of choice, but there should be a line drawn. Otherwise we'll be a country that lives in choas.

I don't see as a contradiction in the least. Your side tends to believe that free speech allows someone to say anything they want, consequence free. It simply doesn't work that way. You are absolutely free to say whatever you like, likewise, someone else absolutely free to go off on you if they don't like what you have to say.

[Cornfedwb]

Why is it we seemed to have moderately intelligent discussion about this earlier in the day. Now we have "abortion is bad" "i hate abortion" "I'm going to shiv anyone who wears that shirt". Is it the age group that gets on later in the day?

[MrBadExample]

If I eevr saw someone wearing that tee, I would go off on them, I think I'd turn pycho or something.

Regardless of what anyone says abortion is murder. To give anyone the choice of abortion is to give someone the choice of murding another human being. I'm all about free speech and the rights of choice, but there should be a line drawn. Otherwise we'll be a country that lives in choas.

My point (for those who missed it) is he said he was "all about" "the rights of choice" (i.e. pro-choice) yet would go psycho on someone wearing the shirt.

I'm not going to classify myself as anything before I say something, but a lot of people here have very strong opinions about abortion, and here's where I at least stand. I believe that abortion was made legal only because of the sadly rare cases that a young girl or teen gets raped in the back of an alleyway and is scarred for the rest of her life. While I do realize Cracka that this may be true for most cases, some woman (And I don't agree with this) are too self-centered and concerned about themselves to care about another child, so they wouldn't want to have to go through the excruciating pain of having a baby and then putting it up for adoption and having it tear at their insides. The only time that I actually agree with it, though, is when 12 or 13 or similarly young girls are dragged into the woods/back alley/ wherever they might be and are raped on the scene and left there, probably obviously injured, and then later find out they are pregnant. How are they able to have the baby without becoming even more injured? 12 year olds could even die from birthing their fatherless child, and who knows if the baby would even deliver perfectly fine. It's not really right to call them sluts for having abortions, but I think they're wrong in doing so if they're old enough.
So exclaiming proudly that you had an abortion is pretty sick and wrong IMO, but for extreme cases I'm for it.

[Quackzilla]

So you are saying is that if a woman gets raped the government should force her to have the baby?

You aree a really bad person.

[DCriminal]

One of the main reasons that abortion was legalized was to regulate its practice. Abortions happened before Roe V Wade, but unscrupulous individuals performed them with little or no medical training in circumstances that can hardly be defined as sanitary. Thus, many women lost their lives undergoing the procedure.

While some (including some that frequent this forum) would think that this is a good thing, the Supreme Court thought otherwise.

:applause: excellent point TDZ, the only one so far that actually makes sense. in those rarest of rare cases, I do believe abortion would be okay, however there's no clear way to determine which victims were raped and those who are faking it. I really am stumped when it comes down to this.

I'm fine with choices and what not as long as it doesn't hurt (or in this case, kill) other human beings. You mistaken my original post.

[Cornfedwb]

As a quick side note.. I keep reading the subject of this thread as.. You Too Can Brag About Murdering the Unicorn. Which makes me think of that horrible Tom Cruise movie, Legend. Which makes me somehow terribly uncomfortable.

Just thought I'd throw that out.

Oh and abortions should only be used in EXTREME cases such as the mother might die and stuff like that.

[JohnHam]

I'm 100% pro-life. I believe that regardless of circumstances, murder is never an acceptable alternative.

I know people that have had abortions, some very well. I don't know any that would like to advertise it. It was a traumatic experience or so I've been told. I doubt anyone who has actually had an abortion will wear one, save for extreme feminists.

I find the idea alone kind of disgusting.

Sums it all up pretty well in my opinion!

Although I am totally 100% against abortion, I'm not going to to jump on a message board and start preaching to others about it. My views are like this, it's a life, you have an abortion and you destroy a life...whether unborn or not. And there's no such thing a "just a little bit pregnant", which lots of people seem to say when they have an abortion. "Oh, I was just a little pregnant so it doesn't matter".

Either way, people need to take more responsibilty for there actions. Now, in the case of a young girl being raped or the mothers possible death if going through with the birth...I'd have to say go ahead...because there are exceptions to every rule. But if 17 year old Suzie goes out, gets ravenously drunk, and has a 3 some with a couple of 30 year old men...then no, F that, you should'nt have been out getting trashed in the first place.

Now, wearing a shirt like this is trashy. Basically, like already said, the only people who will be wearing these are teenage girls who think it's funny. Sorta like the "Jesus is my Homeboy" shirts. Anyone other than that are basically people who are never going to succed in life past there dead end McDonald's jobs.

The morals of today's society are shot all to hell, and no that's not an attack at pro-choicers. I'm speaking more of 13 year old girls who've had sex more than there mothers, and the over 18 guys that are freely doing it with them. I guess that varies by area, but I see it all the time, Just the other day a guy I graduated with (I'm 21 btw) was bragging about his 14 year old girlfriend and how much of a "great fuck" she is.

Ok, that's about all I can say on this subject.

[Cracka]

i agree with TDZ. if a girl were raped, IMO, that should be the only reason abortion should be allowed.

what i dont agree with is some chick out having casual sex and not using protection. Then she gets pregnant and decides she doesnt want it, so she gets an abortion.

NO exceptions at all?

What if a 9 year old girl who had an early period gets raped by a pedophile and becomes pregnant.

It would literally be a life and death situation. You would have that girl die.


You people suck. I mean, you really suck. I'll bet you support the death penalty, like most other 100% pro-lifers.

[Scotty P]

my stance on abortion:

I have a birthdate, not a conception date.

I am 18 years and 11 months old, not 19 years and 8 months old.

No one considered me alive before I splattered out of my mother's womb and ceased being a parasitic cellular formation inside of her.

Go abortion, go these t-shirts, and god bless america.

If you're assuming I support the death penalty, you really didn't read what I said. The death penalty is completely unrelated. (FYI - I am against it. I feel in inhumane, unnecessary, and life in prision is harsher punishment for some.)

You can come up with hypothetical situations all day, but it doesn't change the fact that I believe abortion is murder. You have to undrstand, you posing that question to me is like asking someone "Should I kill this person, or the other?"

It's really not a question either of us can answer and have the other be satisfied. It's the nature of the debate.

[AdamInPlaidum]

IMO, the first 3 or 4 weeks of pregnancy are not life. It is a sperm in an egg. You can argue that the sperm and the egg are going to become a baby, but I could point at a jizzrag and say that could've been life. Once the sperm and egg actually become something wholly new, then life begins. Just my opinion.

[AdamInPlaidum]

Also, as far as giving a baby up for adoption, it isn't really feasible. I'm a guy, so I can't say for sure if any of my feelings are accurate, but if I were a woman, pregnant with a baby I couldn't support, I would never be able to think of myself as an incubator for someone else's child. I would think of it as MY baby. Hell, I can't even give away my childhood stuffed animals. I could never see a little baby that I knew was part of me, and then just give it away like those ads in the paper for "Free Cat to Good Home".

[redgopher]

Murdering the unborn? That's kind of a loaded statement.
I guess we know where you stand on the issue. :?

Or the contraceptive fails. I'll be damned if you don't think a broken condom is a good reason for an abortion, if said broken condom ever happened to you.

WELL THAT IS THE QUESTION!

In that situation there are two options.

1. The girl has an abortion, she survives, cells were not mature so no baby was killed anyway.

2. Girl is forced to have baby. It would be impossible for either thei girl or the baby to survive childbirth. They both die.

With your option, #2, two people are murder, and if you made the decision the blood would be on YOUR hands.

Like I said, you are a bad person.
