I'm new to this forum, but don't think that makes me new to atheist discussion groups (got tired of the woo-based political factions and poor format for interaction over on Patheos.com). After years of watching such discussions as this one, I really find Catholic Lady's apologetics as tiresome as they are insulting, and I just can't be cool about this particular issue when so many people are being harmed by her ideas. I can't be cool about this because those who suffer under her whims aren't somebody else's future, they are MY future! Maybe you live in a different country than the US, if so you couldn't possibly understand.
Oh, stuff it. All you've done is disparage what CL said without offering one concrete objection. Whether or not people are being harmed by her ideas is irrelevant. From her point of view the same is true in reverse.

If you think you aren't wasting your time entertaining her, then you haven't been around the atheist scene long enough.
What a weak, pompous ass you are. You do not speak for atheists generally. If you have a complaint you'd like to make against what CL has said at least have the cajones to address her directly.
Most of us know her well enough to know she is speaking with candor from her values, not all of which we share. But you make few friends here with this kind of indirect character assassination of a person who is a well respected member of our community. Civility will take you further. It certainly has her.

What would you do if you witnessed a rape? Would you look the other way, or would you try and intervene?
Please do not presume to speak for atheists generally. Not all of us are anti-abortion. In short, bugger off.
Your way of dealing with religious people has failed the test enough times already - they are the mortal enemy of all that is worth living for on this earth, and then our very hope of survival into the future because they believe the world does not and should not have one. If you want to try and play nice with people who think like that, then I will not stand idly by and watch you hand my future over to these theocratic fatalists. Go bugger yourself with that if you so enjoy it, but your time of speaking for sensible atheists who actually understand what's at stake ends now.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
