You can't force anyone to change their beliefs but you can try to convince them that the position they hold subjugates half the population.
Quote:I don't have a problem with pro-life people because abortion is something that doesn't apply to me (I'm a male)
So... then you also don't care about sexual equality, like women having the right to vote or being paid equal wages for equal work, then either, right?
Or racial equality? Because, you know, you have you're rights, who cares about those other people whose skins happens to be a different color.
Or sexual rights, either, I assume - why should you care, after all? You can legally marry your girlfriend right now, what does it matter if those two lesbians can get married? It doesn't effect your life.
Quote:I don't give a shit about people being pro-life. If they like embryos so much, I will let them like embryos, as long as they don't make me love embryos too.
They're trying to force me, and every other woman, into it, though.
But what do you care? You're male, it doesn't effect you.
It's not that I don't care about rights. I will vote yes if asked. However between choosing saving my country from bankrupt giving us an economical boost and allowing 15000 women per year to abort I will chose the first. I may not agree with parties on social issues, but economic measures come first. That's my thinking. It's not going to help me vote for communist or socialist parties, they may support pro-choice, but present no realistic measures to help us.
I am not against you having your rights as a female, but I won't hesitate in voting for a party that is against abortion if the economical measures benefit my country more. Logically I would never vote for someone who supports slavery or racial inequality, but allowing two gay people to marry doesn't have the same importance of banning slavery, considering all gay people were already allowed to have tax benefits and live together. The same goes for allowing abortion, it may be important, but with sexual education and widespread of contraceptives it becomes unnecessary generally, and even when illegal there is always the exceptional cases, it doesn't have the same seriousness as banning gender rights, banning slavery or racial equality, those are rights that are hierarchically superior.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
