How do you suppose one should know what one is reading before one reads it? 

She is right. These are incredibly over the top. There's no excuse for joking about a simple fetus' dead body. It may be something society has chosen in many cases to condone as a practice, abortion, that is, but that doesn't mean we should like doing it or be amused by it, no matter our positions on the matter.

I think liberals may just be strangely drowning their guilt over it by making light of the matter. Or else they're disconnected from reality. 

Would you like killing a fetus yourself? Would you laugh about it afterwards, joking about how you should've eaten it with bacon? Whether you do it or not doesn't matter, it still happens, the effect is the same. Pretending it isn't is somehow even worse and more sinister than doing it yourself. 

You may believe it's a necessary evil, or, like I do, an immoral practice of our times that is confined within our current technological and ethical knowledge, but if you go further than that and celebrate it or make light of it I will judge you harshly , as I am.

Let me further point out one should be free to express their sentiments about something they dislike without being told not to listen. That's an incredibly insulting thing to say.

Making light of abortions makes you a horrible human being. Taking care of a puppy makes you a good one. Making a bad joke makes you unfunny. Singing a good song makes you fun. All those things are compatible. Deal with it.

Oh don't get me wrong, it's your right to say "I don't like jokes like that" or "I am offended", and it's my right to call you a complete pussy.

Abortions are no laughing matter at my place.
Unless someone slips over on one.
That can be funny as long as no-one gets hurt.

I agree with Thumpalumpacus : Carlin is god!

I don't see why you would think I see things in b&w in this instance.

Sorry if I don't find dead fetuses funny. /s

Also -- because someone doesn't share your values, they're a "fucking idiot"?

Non sequitur much?

Ironically: idiots love their non-sequiturs.

WTF. But he is God. Are you saying I'm objectively wrong?!

I was super duper cereal when I called you objectively wrong, man.
