Murdering piece of propaganda


I love when Cain's character said they need to perform abortions b/c the women will get them anyways. That makes sense we might as well make all forms of murder legal, theft, rape, and pedophilia because hey its going to happen anyways. I also loved his conceding tone during his diatribe talking to kids who would have been killed in the womb if their murderous parents were given the chance.

Illegal abortions were quite rare when this form of murder wasn't legal. How can someone be so broken that they kill their child their suppose to love when they are the most innocent and vulnerable. Science and morality is on our side when will this wicked generation wake up to this heinous act.

Not every child is a gift from god and we need to quit acting like it!

I'm not saying anything against God, but I do find it funny that the same people who bitch about abortion are the same ones signing up for the military. The same people who want live babies to grow up to be dead soldiers. If every child is a miracle from God then wouldn't that make every adult a miracle from God as well? And if that's the case then why do we allow 18 year old children to fight wars that adults start? If we are gonna bring God into this then let us not forget that we are all Gods children and not one person be excluded in any way. But sense I don't believe that every child is special anymore then every chicken is special (which we aren't afraid to kill and eat) you're petty insult means nothing to me. Praise God!!

I agree...but the major sticking point for me...oh yes, we will protect that unborn child...but then after it is born...we will do everything in our power to make sure it stays hungry..unschooled...unloved in some cases,abused physically and sexually....or ship them off to foster care where they are forced to leave at age 18 and fend for themselves...

reply

Yeah because kids are starving in the US or lack the ability to go to school. Nobody wants children to go hungry or not get an education. Not sure what propaganda you've been listening to.

Evangelicals, for whatever wacky reason, have merged with the political party who wants to cut all aid to the poor, Amills. Listen to the Republican debates. Listen to them moan about welfare, food stamps, taxes that go towards funding schools, health care, and on and on. Then listen to them talk about wanting to keep babies and children OUT of our country, immigrant and refugees that are looking for safety or a better life. Republicans hate people so why should we for one second believe they love fetuses? This is a hot button issue they use to get your vote. You have been duped.

I'm a real kewl kat.🐈

They do the same thing regarding guns, global warming and any type of welfare. In fact any issue that threatens the wealth of the ultra-rich.

Evangelist preachers feed their churchgoers emotive sh!t, and then the GOP takes over the yolk, usually making out anyone with an opposing view is some kind of America hating communist/atheist.

The sad thing is that brainwashed religious nuts vote for a party bankrolled by people with total contempt for them, the poor, the environment and about everything else other than the wealth of a few thousand ultra-citizens, who are the real masters in all this self-serving deception.

Jesus would be proud!

You need to get out more, or take your face out of your bible, at least. there ARE hungry children in the US. There ARE children who are unwanted and neglected. There are children who don't go to school.

reply

lol. you guys need to get a new response. Military and death penalty are what you all always turn to, and both of those are punishing bad behavior, which is not remotely the same as abortion.

reply

No such thing as "murder" or "legal/illegal". We made all that up so we could have some civilization around here. We're the descendants of cave people.

And we're not "supposed to" do anything during our lifetime.

The point was simply that Caine could do it without risking the mother's life as well.

"Need" is just a fiction. As is "should", "must", "value" and "importance".

reply

17 year old propaganda? Were you an abortion counter of the 1940's?

reply

The OP doesn't take into account that this movie took place when abortion was still illegal. Since society as a whole has become more liberal since the 40s, our abortion laws followed suit. If Dr. Larch was alive today, he might even be working with Planned Parenthood!

reply

The op is a hateful republican !

reply

Says the pro-baby killer.

reply

Not your body, not your choice. People like you need to stop dictating what people do with their bodies. At the end of the day, it's not a baby. It's a clump of cells. Get over it. The earth is already over populated as it is. What are we gonna do when we run out of resources like water and food? Don't say it can't happen because it can. Humans are already destroying this planet.

Taking in to account the time the movie is set, I think the society was responsible for the majority of abortion and orphans. The social stigmata a woman would carry if she had a child outside the wedding lock would ha e ruined her life and the child life permanently.
Sex education was non existent and rapes was treated as a internal affair in the family, girls that felt pregnant in such a way were shipped away to give birth often in monastery run by nuns. its easy to igonre the kind of condition woman use to endure back then and judge with today standards.
