It is no accident that all our children are riding around in car seats and every plug and cabinet in the house has safety catches on them...
The left feels guilty.
And tries to make up for the guilt they feel over killing millions of babies, by overcompensating when it comes to the safety of those that survive the abortion holocaust.

Yeah, we actually give a damn about people after they're a mindless clump of cells.
You Freepers wouldn't understand.
If you think kids dying in car accidents, sticking forks into electrical sockets, and drinking household cleaners are a good idea, then by all means, complain about basic safety measures!
Why, next you'll be saying seat belts aren't worth the trouble!
Now I understand why the right defend the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy with such ardor. They feel guilty about all the gay bashings, so they try to keep them from dying in a hellhole in the name of truth, justice and the corporatist way.
Well, you don't -have- to baby-proof your house, but there is a reason that parents of babies (as opposed to "the left") do so, and since they have babies, clearly that's not because of abortion.
Some of the posts of that thread are unbelievable. One person suggested that 'leftists' should be exterminated but it's apparently impossible because as soon as they start, the remaining leftists will apparently become more cruel to children in return.
I don't think batshit insane even begins to describe these people...
Overcompensating?
Please DIAF ASAP.
So we should never abort pregnancies, allow millions of unwanted babies to be born and then raise them in a world without tons of life-saving safety devices. Wasting tons of resources on giving life to someone who won't have a good life due to their genesis, or those who will die due to a preventable accident. Sounds like they're just going to die anyways.
The responses are just freakish:
"The only reason why we shouldn’t exterminate these criminal leftist vermin is because it is logistically impossible to do so. It would only make the remaining 50 million more violent towards children." - I thought ALL leftists ate their children and had abortions?
"We already have widespread legal infanticide. Pretty soon they will push for killing toddlers. That’s when we should start executing leftists." - isnt that what they want to do anyways?
"At 3 months, John the Baptist lept for joy at the sound of Mary’s voice." - LOL..WUT?!
Fundie values:
Mass of cells without even a rudimentary nervous system = OMG! Don't touch that it's sacred!
Living, breathing, fully-developed child = Fuck safety! That's for commie pussies!
And they wonder why we think they're insane.
WTF? So now people only care about kids that are ACTUALLY born because they feel guilty?? o_O
@Tolpuddle Martyr Except pitbulls are only concieved as dangerous because of their bad rep. They're actually great dogs, and I know some who love their kids.
I find it amazing that the things we do to take care of our children are equal in your tiny mind with abortion related-guilt.
Of course, you'd have to be a reasonable human being to understand that not every mother has had an abortion. What about those who haven't? Do they feel guilty enough about abortion in general to 'overcompensate' in their concern for the safety of their own children?
Fucking moron.
Cancel your insurance and sign a liability waiver and you can do whatever you please re. the safety of your (probably equally demented) offspring. Just don't make my rates go up by blaming everyone else for your own negligence.
They make you pass a test before you can drive, but anyone can breed, unfortunately.
I'm a Leftist, so I guess that blows your theory.
"And tries to make up for the guilt they feel over killing millions of babies, by overcompensating when it comes to the safety of those that survive the abortion holocaust."
Bad analogy, much? A clump of cells =/= a living, thinking, independently breathing individual that is alive.
TexasFreeper2009, you FAIL for several reasons:
1- Roe vs. Wade in 1973. 'Nuff said.
2- Better have a shitload of lawyers on retainer to be involved in all the safety malfunction (as you say, 'children are riding around in car seats and every plug and cabinet in the house has safety catches on them...') lawsuits. And just one involved in a single case costs an arm & a leg. Are you Bill Gates or Warren Buffet?
3- You Freepers are Protestant, are you not? Isn't being anti-abortion purely Catholic doctrine? Aren't you lot supposed to be opposed to Popery in all it's vile forms? Why are you trying to out-catholicise the Catholic Church?! (which is why I just can't get my head around the fundies' whole 'Pro-Life' thing)
4- Are you in Tiananmen Square in Beijing right now, protesting against the virtually industrial-scale abortions going on in China? What's that? You aren't? Because you know that unlike the 'soft targets' that are the abortion clinics in the US, you'd be arrested and sent to a 're-education camp' for ten years? Well, that only proves your hypocrisy (but then, that's par for the course with right-wing fundies); every second you're not on that plane to China to protest against abortion there, proves your hypocrisy: if you're not prepared to protest there, you have no right to criticise abortion. Period.
5- ?????
6- You FAIL II
It's no accident the religious right molests children. They feel guilty over having forced them to be born into circumstances where their parents feel they cannot raise a child, accordingly- oh wait, no that's not it; it's because they're evil fucks.
...holy fuck you're kidding me.
We leave these things on every plug and cabinet in the house so they don't get beat on the head with dangerous, blunt objects they pull down on themselves and turn out like you .
My lawnmower has a warning sticker that tells me I can't stick my hand up under it, while it's running. Fuck that. It's my mower, and ain't no liberals at Snapper going to tell me what I can, and can't do with it.
Just to counter a couple of the comments on here regarding abortion: unless the woman manages to get the procedure done within about 5 weeks from her last menstruation, her offspring is no longer just a clump of cells. These things develop pretty damn fast.
Personally, I think abortion is a terrible thing that we must, unfortunately, live with. It's often necessary, but that doesn't make it good. But for fuck's sake, I'd hardly call it a "holocaust."
Surely, the guiltless right have the wit and the means to redress that imbalance. Perhaps they can let their babies play with daddy's razor blades on a busy railway line.
Or perhaps the dimwit can have the safety devices replaced with old-fashioned unsafe versions, at least in the kids' playroom.
I notice that the original post selectively references a British Study concerning possible pain responses in 24 week fetuses,(the current time limit for abortions in the U.K, is up to 28 weeks) but doesn't mention it in the main body of the text...
Note: in the U.K, to obtain consent for a abortion, you have to get the approval of 2 seperate, & independent doctors beforehand, who have to be convinced that continuing pregancy, will cause either gross physical or psychological harm to the mother, before giving their approval for the termination of the pregancy...
Incedentally, only 6% of abortions in the U.K are carried out over 21 weeks, & usually the patient is in her 40's, who initally believes that her pregancy, is the onset of the menopause...
There was a attempt by British "Pro-Life" groups to reduce the maximum time limit to 24 weeks, with the intent to reduce the limit further to 21 weeks, a couple of years ago, but the attempt failed to go through Parliment...
As a fellow conservative I find it abhorrent that TexasFreeper2009 hates the safety devices that help keep our precious babies alive into adulthood.
We should do everything within our power -- at least those things that don't cost too much -- to ensure that all children* reach the age of 18 so they can be sent off to be killed or maimed in wars for oil.
* By all children ... should be sent off to die at age 18, I of course mean those who are poor, dark-skinned and/or who adhere to the wrong brand of Christianity, and not my sons or daughters or any other white, TrueChristian, patriotic American such as myself and the members of my church.
So all babies are now "abortion survivors"?
Fuck.
Are you saying a Real American® doesn't have to worry about their kid's safety as long as you kept the baby?
Double fuck.
Are you saying that leftists only care about their children so they don't look bad for their inexplicable, omnipresent "Holocaust" of abortions?
Die in a fire.
Wait, so "The Left" gets the credit for safety measures? Awesome, the left is even more the better side of political issues in this country than I had previously imagined. Only could Free Republic make me come to that realization entirely without wanting to. Thanks, Freepers.
Oddly enough, I'm a liberal who has never had an abortion, and yet I childproof my home when my young niece and nephew come to visit. Why? Because:
1. I'm rather fond of them, and would therefore like them to live to grow up.
2. Childproofing is easier than constant surveillance--after all, isn't it easier to lock up the toilet bowl cleaner than to repeatedly yell at a 2-year-old to leave it alone?
3. Childproofing is much cheaper than medical care or even the replacement of items spilled or broken by curious toddlers.
If a kid sticks a butter knife into an electrical socket and dies, they'd just say, "Well, I'll bet he'll never do that again!"
No, it's no accident that children now use car seats, but lots and lots of accidents have lead there. By trial and error we have learned that if kids are safely strapped in, they stay in place in case of a crash, and won't kill themselves and others while they are flying through the windshield.
I am more left than most Americans, and I have never had an abortion, nor contemplated having one. A part of that is that God didn't give me the chance, as he killed my only (known) "baby" with a spontaneous abortion.
God kills much more "babies" through spontaneous abortions, than the "left" do through active abortions. Something like four to one...
Or is it maybe because children tend to have accident with that kind of things?. Or the fact that it's compulsory to wear a helmet now is a signal that the rightwing nutjobs tend to feel guilty for all the soldiers' and civilian lives that they have snatched through, say, the war in Iraq?
You insult World History by insinuating that abortion rights are anything like the Holocaust. No one if being forced to have an abortion, and it is only done in certain, specific cases with the consent of the mother. Asshat.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
