And it's true that slavery was once legal, and was no more moral when it was legal than it is now, when it's illegal. <br /><br />But really. You want to compare the oppression of black folks to the oppression of fetuses? I have heard them do this to, and it always takes my breath away because, you know--black people are fully formed human beings. They don't live inside other people's bodies. Black people are not fetuses. <br /><br />I don't think they really perceive how offensive that is.Valkyrie607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-34493156450088998402009-11-02T06:03:49.612-06:002009-11-02T06:03:49.612-06:00And yet some of the most amazing activists I know ...And yet some of the most amazing activists I know are Catholic.

Let's see...<br /><br />1. Only 5% of priests are pedophiles according to the Vatican so it's all OK<br /><br />2. They're campaigning against healthcare reform because of 'public funding for abortion' (which is explicitly banned in the bill but they don't give a f***)<br /><br />3. They're ramping up AIDS all over the world by banning rubbers<br /><br />4.

When you have the fucking POPE stand up and address entire nations in Africa that are full of the AIDS epidemic (and please note that Africa has the fastest growing Catholic population in the world) and tell them all that CONDOMS SPREAD HIV, you lose all ability to call yourselves a "right to life movement". If it's more important to spread LIES that WILL KILL PEOPLE, than speak truths that will help save them, you're not a fucking "right to life" movement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738689601800334155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-74850658625070447582009-10-30T10:18:55.125-05:002009-10-30T10:18:55.125-05:00I'll raise your" Oh HELLl no!" with ...I'll raise your" Oh HELLl no!" with a "Ah Hell, Mutha, No!"Leota2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-47981621372912921272009-10-30T10:15:35.822-05:002009-10-30T10:15:35.822-05:00He is definitely not a Jesuit - would have gotten ...He is definitely not a Jesuit - would have gotten laughed out of the club with the speciousness of that argument.
