errantember"If Mary was pro-choice, there would be no Christmas!"
If Mary had a choice, she might have kept baby Jesus anyway.
If Mary didn't have a choice, she was effectively raped by God. Are you saying that having Christmas is so wonderful that it justifies worshipping a rapist?
Note to anti-choice advocates: It's not the pro-choice crowd that's trying to force anyone to do anything. There wasn't anyone present at the Divine Conception saying "we should force this woman to have an abortion." There isn't anyone doing it now, either.
I'm not saying this is a simple issue, because it's not. The above bumper sticker makes anyone associated with it look like un-educated knee-jerk dipshit. If I had issues with the idea of unborn babies being killed, I wouldn't want this bumper sticker making me look like an over-simplifying moron.
It's hard to take the moral high road when you're tripping over your untied shoelaces.

Errantember,I quickly lesrned when you were a paramour of one of my wives that you and I share quite a bit of phsycobabble talking points, but points that have helped me and probably you,. That was a great conversation we had and I would have liked to have known you much better, If we make it to Burninman this year or even flipside I will look you up :)
