Planned Parenthood Leader Resigns After Watching Ultrasound of Abortion Procedure

Sorry - we were addressing the issue/topic the OP had raised - your cutely coined "shotgun opera."

But to be honest, I've no idea how to compare one's revelation of what abortion really is to why people leave unfulfilling jobs in the corporate sector - let alone how that is somehow an indictment against capitalism in general???

i must've missed it...what was it?

and please do not refer to the language or expressions spoken by Christians as "hyperbole". Thank you.

My question is should someone leaving ANYTHING for moral reasons be counted as an indicator that that something is immoral or wrong. The example I gave was someone leaving corporate America because he couldnt morally cope with the idea of how his company made money.

I'm not attempting to derail the topic at hand, but I dont think asking questions is off-limits.

I called it shotgun opera because thats what it's coming off as, a mass of sound that attempts to block or drown out everything else.

You count this as a victory for the pro-life movement because it highlights the fact that there are people in Planned Parenthood who cant morally cope with abortion.

See previous paragraph

Your language in reference to abortion is hyperbole, I don't care what your religious beliefs are. Hyperbole is over-exaggerated speech designed to elicit an emotional reaction. Your language in reference to Planned Parenthood (Which does A LOT more than abortions, just by the way) and abortions in general is hyperbole.

I'm not criticizing your exaltations about god changing this woman's mind, if you feel that's the case, more power to you. I do however take issue with the deliberate use of inflammatory language designed to poison the well of discussion so that no one can come after you and drink. If someone does want to come in and discuss the issue, they are met with accusations akin to "So you support BABY MURDERING!?" and the actual discussion goes nowhere.

If you feel that the woman leaving is a good thing, thats totally fine, I have no problems with that opinion. Its when that opinion gets transmuted with the use of hyperbolic language into a weapon that's used against people who want to have an honest discussion about the issue that I start digging my heels in.

...or "fetuses" which is a term that is somehow supposed to make one believe it is not human and therefore not deserving of our protection, care, or love.

If you make someone seem less than human and basically dehumanize them then it's much easier to kill them. So let's just keep using the word "fetus" when we're performing abortions, because that makes it easier for us to deal with killing unwanted babies. And lets keep calling them "babies" when we ourselves get pregnant and want to keep them. Funny how women say, "I've had an ultrasound of my baby!" rather than "I've had an ultrasound of my fetus". They form an emotional attatchment to their unborn babies and grieve if they have a misscarriage. So if the baby is wanted we view it as worthy of being considered human. However if it's unwanted then it's just a "fetus" and not really worthy of being human.

And lets keep calling them "babies" when we ourselves get pregnant and want to keep them. Funny how women say, "I've had an ultrasound of my baby!" rather than "I've had an ultrasound of my fetus".

you do realize this is not just a casual subject to some of us, but it IS literally life/death.....language used is because it IS viewed as life/death and therefore of the utmost urgency. Language may tend to pick up that urgency. THat is to be expected in such a thread about an issue of such gravity.

She was quite clear why she left. You do realize that of course, i agree with her, yes?

And yes, the same for Corporate America. The question is, whether we believe in our hearts it is wrong. A Christian has the Holy Spirit working in their hearts/consciences. God can intercede and bring a c onviction of right and wrong to even those who see nothing wrong with what they are doing...and are convinced it's just "business".

Some people defend infanticide, applaud it, think it a good thing, and ridicule those who oppose it.

This is what the LORD says: 'About midnight I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.
