Woo-Hoo!
Other than the fact that the President of the US can't overturn a Supreme Court Decision, this flash was great! Though not an original idea, it was definitely an original presentation and an hilarious skit!

I did not know that. Shows the research that goes into my writing, doesn't it?
WOW
That was SUCH a good point. It was so good my head exploded. I don't know what to say. Undeniable, pure and flawless - l o g i c. WOW!
Cambo responds:
logic is cool! tell your friends! you want to be COOOL, don't you?
Some people...
Just don't understand sarcasm... Anyway, bravo. I liked the minimalistic look, but the voice acting wasn't that great (awkward pauses, etc.) not that I could do anything better. At least you didn't stumble or say 'Um'. But as for you saying that you are neither for nor against abortion? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...
I'll be looking forward to your next flash.
Cambo responds:
hey! I'm genuinely not! This flash picks up one a very particular hypocrisy and isn't indicative of my greater views. Truth be told it's much too complex an issue to be succinctly FOR or AGAINST, I'd say.
abortion = lol
Flash was ok, but your message is kinda stupid.
The metaphor with the guy and the gun was really, REALLY so not the same! I mean killing you, a person, or "killing" a baby that's not even born are two totally different things! (notice the " " )
Most people have no doubts that abortions is "omg MURDER" but I don't think as it that way. It's just stopping POTENTIAL life to be born. In that case using a condom is murder too...
And why not let people decide? Because of a religious believe of someone in the gevernment? COME ON!!! That's so discriminating!
I think people that follow the bible live 2000 years ago. Move on I beg you!
I'm not saying all messages in the bible are bad (I'm pro "love thy neighbor" and stuff), but really it's not all or nothing!
A well I could go on for hours about this but now I quit. Cya!
Boring
I started drifting off about two minutes into it--really, I did. I hit my head on the desk before I fell asleep, though.
Okay, having said that, it was the worst pro-life argument I've heard...maybe. I don't know if McCain would have said those things, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did (ambiguous weasel...)
Conservatives don't want to ban abortions all together; they just want to eliminate revolving-door clinics. Abortion is a horrible thing that shouldn't be an alternative to safe-sex. "Accidents" that do happen are not the child's fault, and to kill the child for your own carelessness is abhorrent. Rape is kind of a gray area, but an abortion is always a horrible thing to do for any reason (even to save the mother, which is no-contest).
The arguments about back-alley abortions are over-hyped and should be considered offensive to women everywhere. Some people want you to think that without abortion clinics, women would be disemboweling themselves behind porn-shops all over the country. I don't have to tell you this is absurd (but I will). There was no national crisis before Roe vs. Wade. Interestingly enough, all we hear about today is the horrible things young women are doing to their babies (high schoolers dumping them in trash-cans on prom night [another tasteful MacFarlaine joke]; college students doing the same, sometimes repeatedly). I'm not saying this is a direct result of Roe vs. Wade, but it's clear that society's attitude about children (especially women's) has degenerated in the past half-century. There are abortion clinics available all over the country, but some women still wait until they're born to take their lives.
Even if I believed some good came out of Roe vs. Wade, I would never consider it an achievement worth celebrating. A woman's "right to choose" is about as dignified as Manson's right to pick Kool-Aid from some other rancid drink. Men don't even get away with leaving their children with their mothers, yet women are allowed to kill them on a whim.
I think I've exhausted the subject.
Cambo responds:
this is a really intelligent defence of not having abortions in some situations. I'm not for or against abortion, so you know.
But playing devil's advocate, say a woman got pregnant because she forgot to take the pill. You wouldn't allow her to have an abortion? On what grounds?
Acknowledging as you have that abortion is always a horrible thing to do, do you think that you'd make a better decision than the mother in this situation? Why?
And women aren't allowed to kill their children on a whim, I think if you believe that you're misunderstanding the concept of abortion.
Also, your statement that "[women's] attitudes about children have degenerated in the past half-century" isn't true. You on one hand use the example of the back-alley abortion as a gross over-exaggeration - but, acknowledging that they're horrible and have happened in extreme cases, surely you wouldn't say this is indicative of women's attitudes towards children in the last century? Surely your opinion of women's attitudes about the issue of child-raising is based on the overwhelming majority.
So then why are you characterising the attitudes of women in the last fifty years with the very feint anecdotal example of women who "still wait until [their children are] born to take their loves"?
Furthermore, I don't know of any examples of this happening as an alternative to abortion. This has happened - mothers do occasionally murder their infants - but it's almost always as a result of mental illness or post-natal depression. And I wouldn't say that that has anything to do with society's attitudes to abortion.
I don't really understand your Manson's right to Kool-Aid comment though.
