    Yep, good call. Just can't grasp the father's thinking though! That would be the last of that Mullah if I were in the fathers place, perhaps even his neighbor.

    A group that calls for outlawing abortion even if the pregnancy kills the woman (regardless of her feelings about it) meets my definition of an anti-woman group.
    Since you asked.

    Yes, there are plenty of horrible, disgusting acts that some cultures accept as the norm. =[

    That group not only includes a large percentage of women, but being of the opinion that abortion is murder really has nothing to do with gender. It has to do with when you think life begins, and nothing else.

    I think we all can agree that snuffing out a baby after it is born would be murder, many believe life begins at conception which would mean abortion is murder of a defenseless life, the government wimps out and ridiculously tries to compromise somewhere in mid-pregnancy...

    I don't believe anyone has the right to force a woman to birth a baby, for any reason. But I don't for a minute think anti-abortionists are "anti-woman".

    It's not that sane people look down on crazy people. It's more like a combination of pity and annoyance. We feel sorry that they can't separate fact from fiction, but we are really tired of the worldwide pain and suffering their stupidity causes. We'd like to fix them, but you can't fix stupid.

    When a person knows for certain that hordes of people who actually believe in magical super-beings are running around loose being bus drivers, policemen, airline pilots, senators, dentists, literally having his/her life in their bat-shit crazy hands, yeah, it's a little bit disconcerting.

    So much time, effort and money is just pissed away with all this worldwide worship of nothing. The magnitude of gullibility and denial of common facts is so disheartening to any observer rooted in reality. As long as religion exists, there is no hope for the world.

    It's pretty much what you'd expect 5 year old kids to say based on how they were raised. It doesn't, however, have any implications on what's true or not.

    Here is a good example (or maybe a bad one?) of what happens when someone confuses their religious fantasies with reality.
