Honor Killings

[Jenn! 918]

Exactly what right does this baby have? What paperwork did the baby have the ability to sign? You don't think the muder of an innocent baby is disgusting?

whatever. i thought i was a wee bit hazy this morning but that statement just threw me for a loop.

Is it really surprising? I've heard your argument as well as Sarah's 100 times before. I mean, isn't this the heart of the entire abortion debate, whether or not it's a baby?

Well then I guess that is the reason my analogy doesn't make much sense. There is no doubt in my mind, after having two precious babies that life begins at conception. I'll leave you all to the thread since this complicates it too much.

You find me a woman who had an abortion and had zero feelings about it, no matter her philosophical stance on the topic, and I'll give you a million bucks.

I don't mean to argue here, but I have a feeling that what your saying actually shows more of why the subjects DO compare well... I think its possible its the same kind of (perceived) desperation that keep both practices going. Its easy to say both practices are disgusting but you can't so easily stop some things. I don't know anything tho...so don't let what I post bother any of you too much.

I disagree with you.

I think a woman has the right to choose whether or not she wants to have an abortion. She has to sign paperwork and pay to have it done. She has the choice. I don't think abortion is disgusting for the most part.

In honor killings a woman is murdered by her own family just like that. She has no say, the family decides to take her life.

What do you mean they involve the same kind of desperation?

um....this is exactly the nonchalant attitude i'm talking about that is shocking to some cultures and quite frankly to me. You are comparing the woman who is killing her baby to the woman about to be murdered in an honor kililng? No wonder you didn't get the analogy. The analogy was the BABY about to be murdered. Exactly what right does this baby have? What paperwork did the baby have the ability to sign? You don't think the muder of an innocent baby is disgusting?

whatever. i thought i was a wee bit hazy this morning but that statement just threw me for a loop.

It's a ridiculous analogy because there isn't agreement on the definition of abortion. We are all agreeing honor killing=murder but we aren't all agreeing abortion=killing a baby, so it is impossible to compare the two.

Sincerely wishing some people's moms would have exercised their rights in the past

Seems like drunk misogynists are out two nights in a row. Lucky us.

Building on the argument that no one here would want to marry an MENA man who would advocate honor killing, how many know and agree with their SOs view about Jews and the nation of Israel? Arab media is unrepentant in villifying Jews as a whole and calling for the destruction of Israel. The hatred there is laid bare.

Do your views mesh regarding that topic?
