rape victims? What sick jackass would vote against a rape exception clause???

A sadistic rapist who thinks he has the right to pass his genes on in that way.

indicates a moral judgement about concensual sex...if she chose to have sex she must pay the penalty...a baby? Those kinds of exclusions show that stopping abortion isn't about the babies...it's about punishing and controlling women.

No woman should have to carry ANY fetus...result of rape or otherwise.

wtf...........

.....f'n bunch o'D.I.N.O.'s is what they are...is it any wonder why so many people just do NOT vote anymore?! :eyes:

but I find it wholly ironic and not a little distasteful that there is an anti-choice ad at the top of this page.

I wonder if the admins will be able to tweak those ads.

Considering that every click from DU costs the advertiser money, then why would you want to stop such an... opportunity.

As you are a non-contributor to DU, how do you propose to pay for the cost of running the site?

without supporting misogyny through ads that support restriction of the human rights of sentient women.

Maybe you wouldn't be so condescending and calm about this matter if DU.com was running advertisements from organizations actively working to restrict and endanger your basic right to unfettered medical choice or your right to control your own body. Since no such organizations exist, however, you clearly lack the perspective to understand how offensive your post on this is. What a pity.

pragmatic people like mr j here should surely have worked up a figure in their heads.
:puke:

reproductive freedom.
maybe it would have to be your ass on the line for you to be bothered.

...so you wouldn't make incorrect assumptions about who I am, what I believe, or what I have ever been through. How dare you presume to know what I do or do not "give a damn about".

The ads are auto-generated based on keywords. If there are ads relevant to the topic in the database, then those ads get served on the page.

The notion of being "offended" by a computer program is an interesting personality issue.

If you think about which way the money is actually flowing, then its something of a different picture.

If more of the freeloaders contributed, the ads wouldn't be necessary.

website. very offended, and not by a "computer program" .

i know all about the money flowing and you know what, mr personality issues? it's still really fucking offensve.
we shouldn't take blood money, period.
you think the "flow of money" justifies it, i say bullshit to anything that promotes limiting reproductive freedoms on this site.
non support like yours, looking the other way, IS part of the problem.

non support like yours

Solly, my support goes beyond your keyboard banging to no practical effect.

to much practical effect, mr banger.
and you continue to make incorrect and belittling assumptions just because i called you on your mistake.
defensive much?

What mistake? You calling me "part of the problem".

If the problem is broadly defined as moralists who condemn what others decide to do with their bodies, or indeed their websites, then, yeah, I sure see a problem.

You started with the "you statements" about someone you don't even know, to tell me what I do or do not give a damn about.

your mistake is that the ads are okay here at DU because the money justifies it. that kind of thinking- so pragmatic, so kneejerk belittling to people who actually care and work for causes- helped get us the supreme court we have today. so yeah, you're attitude is part of the problem.
your mistake is imagining for a moment you know who i am, or how i've contributed time and effort as well as cash over the years.

A remarkable bit of projection there.

You might want to check out the announcements on the ongoing experimentation with the ad system.

asks for feedback, so they can better filter, which we gave him? a better question is, did you read them?
why does it bother you that it bothers women here? do you think we should shut up so DU can take the blood money with less remorse?

you've made it very clear you'd take the blood money, we're making it clear we don't find that acceptable at all.

"Freeloaders." I see that I need to clarify a few things here. First of all, I've been a member of this site since 2001 and have contributed plenty, including for others who did not have the ability to pay. Secondly, there is an excellent reason I am not currently contributing to DU and it has to do with extreme financial hardship -- more detail is really none of your business. Talk about 'incorrect assumptions!" And how dare YOU presume to know why *I* or anyone else do or do not contribute. Lastly, whether a person does or does not have a star next to his/her name has absolutely no correlation to the value of his/her post(s).

for payday. I also happen to care about the right to have reproductive choices,
and I don't believe that we should give the anti-choicers a platform to continue to chip away at women's rights to choice.

:argh:

totally disgusting ads. I realize its based on keywords but damn, those ads just do not belong here. DU is supposed to be a somewhat safehaven from freeperfundie idiocy. I guess all we can do is alert and hope they nix those ads from running here. Cycle in some new stuff, use the anti-women crap someplace else.

The ads are offensive and don't belong on a progressive site.

credentials by some asshole who thinks it's okay, DU sells out in this way.
i'm going to PM skinner. this unborn bullshit is really beyond the pale.

It's not ok, not at all.
And every time we let something like this pass, it chips away a bit more, which is part of why we're still having to fight this damn fight.
Well, at least we're both scrappy and willing to stand up for our rights, both here and in our cities and in Wash. DC.
Always proud to stand with you, bettyellen.

4. WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE ADS FOR CAUSES YOU MAY NOT WANT TO SEE. This is very important. We can filter ads from certain URLs but only after we see them, and it takes a few hours for the filters to take effect. So please don't start a brazillion threads complaining about all the ads you don't want to see. We'll take care of them as they come up.


Belittled? In response to making a personal attack on a complete stranger? Please.

if you really did. on this issue you've admitted you're corrupted by the money. we are not. that there's a big difference in support of the issue.

you made your priorities very clear. as we did -to skinner, so he CAN filter them. how would we know about them if we didn't alert him? sheesh. who started a brazillion threads?
one has to wonder what your motivation here is in belittling the offense and the offended.
asking me for credentials? are you fucking kidding me? still dining out on that check you wrote to NARAL in the nineties?

I see posts in this thread about the ad and that alerts are being sent to the moderators, but I don't see new threads being started about it.
Skinner says he can filter them and we are asking that he do so in this case. Seems to me that we are responding appropriately to Skinner's statement.

started invisible threads about this.
it looks like someone has an overactive imagination.
or they'd prefer we shut up and let DU take the money because tHEy thinks it's okay.
you're exactly right, it's chipping away our REAL freedoms, and we are not supposed to be okay with doing business with the chisel manufacturers.

about the ad. This isn't about alerting this thread to DU, this is about getting some of these completely out of place Google ads out of the cycle for this website.

they are filtering this out, they can only do it as they come up, so for now, all feedback to both places only helps.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

DU the extra revenue.

Louisiana House OK's Ban on Most Forms of Birth Control.

Actually- Mississippi will probably beat them to it.

This again proves the republinazi party is pro-rape & hates women.

is that under Clinton the number of abortions FELL, under dumbaya it is rising. But hey, there is no thrill for a zealot better then making women suffer now is there?

killing people with their inaction on hurricane preparedness?

they need more live ones, they float better

fuckers

Gee, you'd think the Louisiana House would have slightly more important issues to deal with at the moment, like the fate of it's largest city.

I know my dem governor (Granholm) wouldn't.

The right really seems to think that the USSC at this point in time is ready to overturn Roe v Wade. I'm not so sure. I think Alito would vote to overturn it, but I'm not so sure about Roberts. I would rather not see the challenge, but it would be amusing if they gambled big and Roberts ended up supporting abortion rights in his ruling.

I just don't think that the government should outlaw abortion. I have no problem with those who think it's wrong presenting their views, peacefully protesting, and helping vulnerable pregnant women who want to follow through on their pregnancies, but need support economically or emotionally to do so.

I can think of about 2 situations in which I would consider having an abortion-rape and a medical situation that would result in both me and the baby dying. I realize that there is no way to make legal exceptions for these situations-it would be an unenforceable law. If I was raped, in particular, I would want nothing in the way of my ending the pregnancy ASAP. I don't think abortion is a good thing, I just think it's sometimes a necessary thing.

are dangerous morons like BushCo and they should be thrown out on their asses next election.

Better to stock up on the abortion pills before they are banned entirely.

otherwise, why in Hell would the La. legislature be wasting its time on this garbage when it has a state to rebuild?



See? That was last December. Now a gleaming, vibrant new neighborhood must have taken its place, so the legislators can go back to their usual business, like driving women back to the Middle Ages. :sarcasm: Either that, or La. needs to change its state bird from the pelican to the ostrich.

Women are nothing but breeding pigs in the eyes
of the Nueveau-Extreme-Fucking-Right-Wingnuts!:mad:
