Perfect example of media sensationalism Palatine Send a noteboard - 26/10/2012 04:13:41 PM
Any 10-year-old of average intellingence could understand what he meant. If one actually listens to the quote, it's clear he meant that God's intention was for a life to be created. He did not mean God's intention was for a woman to be raped.

His phrasing was simply awkward. We've all phrased things awkwardly while speaking, and we've all heard the same, but we are able to discern the real meaning of what someone says. There is no reason what he said should've gotten the amount of media coverage it did, nor for anyone to condemn what he said. Oh wait, there is one reason. People, in general, have stopped thinking clearly and just want to be entertained.

women *did* die before abortion was legalized, there should be no dispute of this aspect - 26/10/2012 07:27:28 PM 643 Views
Very good point, but that was not (at least soley) what I meant, no. - 26/10/2012 11:12:32 PM 564 Views

If banning it saves no lives but inevitably takes more, the ban is counterproductive. - 27/10/2012 12:48:51 AM 610 Views
