Yes.  I am prolife and oppose abortion except to save the mother's life.  Allowing abortion in cases of rape and incest sends the message to men that they can use women however they want sexually without consequence.  It essentially is the ultimate objectification of women. 

How is making a woman have her rapist's baby a punishment for the rapist and not the woman?
It's not a punishment for either one.  It making sure that the rapist bears responsibility for impregnating the woman he raped.  If the woman can simply get an abortion, then it absolves the rapist for any responsibility toward abusing the woman and conceiving that child.  Since many rapes go unreported, it's quite possible that the rapist may not even face any legal responsibility for it.  If the rapist didn't want to impregnate the woman, then he shouldn't have raped the woman in the first place.  (He shouldn't have anyway, but that's beyond the scope of this discussion.)

I'd argue Adam FitzGerald's Rainbow Dash>Bill Clinton post is worse, but as far as absolutely offensive stuff goes, this is #2.

TBF Rainbow Dash didn't murder a mentally retarded man for political posturing.

But yes, that is a horrific post on Oldies' part.

The misogynistic posts Link was banned for making were nowhere near as bad as this.

He does realize that rapists don't pay child support right? Because of the whole jail thing?


Oldies just went from "dumb poster" to full on Cory or Cassius style HP.

Clearly a repulsive thing to say, but I don't even understand the logic behind it.  What consequences does the rapist face from causing the woman to carry a pregnancy?

The misogynistic posts Link was banned for making were nowhere near as bad as this.

This is definitely worthy of a few death points, to say the least.  I don't care if he's trolling or just being stupid.

Actually that's not always true. I don't know how it works in other states, but at least in New York the state pays child support while you're in prison, but once you're released you owe all that money back to the state.

That's worse than Akin and Mourdock combined. But I've seen worse posts.

Shockingly repulsive, even for someone with deficient critical thinking skills.

My conscience drives me to publically subscribe to the bolded part above.

No, the worst posts are from people who are banned instantly.

Not really, because they get what they deserve.  This... person keeps posting things without remorse or consequence.

Correct, but rape victims have to pay child support sometimes.

If it made any sense at all it would be horribly offensive, but thankfully it doesn't.

I'd say Bushie's post about Sox fans feeling entitled to a World Series because of the Boston Bombings was more disgusting, but that might be my personal bias talking.

Wow. It goes close at least.

Though if anything, it's more stupid than offensive.

That was so dumb as to have melted my brain before I could process whether or not it was the worst post I've ever read.
