On the 30th anniversary

On the 30th anniversary of Roe v Wade we get a peek into promises of revelations from "Roe" that she lied. We also hear from NARAL's founder about the lies that built the Pro-Choice side.

But, who's to be believed here? two former bitter members of the Pro-Choice movement or the pro-choice movement.

i take it the "we" in your FPP means "those who believe what radical Christian Right journals publish." anyone who refers to physicians as "abortionists," let alone makes wild claims ("the link between abortion and breast cancer") in order to get subscriptions, sets of my crap-dar real quick. in short, troll.

Before this even starts, can I just ask what's the point of this? I mean, is there anyone here who doesn't know *exactly* where this is going to end?

Gee, I wonder what's going to happen when we throw a bloody carcass into a tank of hungry sharks? Or a divisive bit of troll bait onto a blog?

Are there any filter settings on Metafilter to automatically weed out obvious crap such as this?

In this issue of Whistleblower, Nathanson – joined by a host of other former abortionists and clinic personnel – blows the lid off of the extraordinarily deceitful, destructive but lucrative abortion business, long protected by the establishment media's reluctance to investigate it.

Thank goodness that an unbiased and trusted source such as WorldNetDaily has blown the lid off this issue.

Perhaps the first-ever in-depth report by a news organization on the widespread incidence of rape and sexual abuse within abortion clinics – sometimes perpetrated by clinic staff but usually by the abortionists themselves.

Oh for Pete's sake.

I wanna get in a good early post just so I can be among those in the prayers of the pro-lifers... "and please smite all the baby killer trash on MeFi, every one"

Okay -- the article is complete nonsense, but you've gotta give them credit for the healine: "Ex-abortionists rip..." It's a pretty clever play on words, considering it's coming from such utter psychopaths.

I'm thinking this phrase is becoming the best roadsign possible to a crap post. Translation:

Argue, scream, and spew invective for my enjoyment.

who cares? this was settled years ago. the law is the law. i'm sick of hearing about it.

Even as someone who is anti-abortion, this article reeks of sales pitch instead of actual journalism. If this were a link to an actual article on this topic, instead of the "buy now" guide it might merit some discussion. As is, this is just embarrassing.

My goodness. Abortionists sound almost as dangerous as priests.

I like the blurb at the top reading ""Attention WorldNetDaily Readers...Stay Informed of Christian
Persecution!!" -- wonder if they thought about the double meaning there. Sign me, Persecuted By Christians.
