Beyonce is CLEARLY anti-abortion. Why isn't she vilified?

I'll take that as a compliment. Don't expect people to be polite when you are discussing the killing of babies.

Do you consider the feelings of the Nazis when discussing the Holocaust?

"I don't want to sound too holier than thou. I make make the Nazis feel bad about what they did."

You're the only one judging people. The rest are discussing an act. No one is throwing anyone under a bus except for you.

Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Outrage for having an opinion? There are no right or wrong opinions. We are in America you nitwit.

Maybe because a LARGE majority of Americans support Roe v. Wade? Just a thought...

No, you see: In America, the Left attempts to bully people into groupthink via ad hominem attacks. If you cross them , you will pay.

How do I get this shoe out of my mouth...???

As technology advances, more and more Americans are moving away from the Pro-Choice stance, and this is really terrifying the Left and groups like Planned Parenthood. It is only a matter of time before regular abortions (meaning, not a pregnancy from rape/incest/underage girl) are severely regulated.

There is already no need for Planned Parenthood, as they do nothing more than any hospital or free clinic. It is cash cow for the Liberal agenda and it is holding on tight to its disintegrating status as an untouchable. It won't last too much longer.

If we want to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, it is clear what needs to occur: Make the husband equally responsible for the well-being of the baby. If he is not able to support his child, he will be forced to join a government work camp where he will make minimum wage and live in a cell with other deadbeats. They will work on roads, improving the infrastructure at little cost and improved societal outcomes.

You are wrong, anyway. In 2009, the balance was tipped in favor of Pro-Life and it continues to grow.

Here is a Gallup poll from 2012:

The trends are interesting, and the last poster was correct in that it seems to follow technological advances such as sonograms, 3d ultrasounds, etc.

What did she say?

Who, Beyonce?

She has a number of self-produced scenes where she "opens up" to the camera and discusses her miscarriage and subsequent pregnancy/birth. The miscarriage scene discusses the heartbeat, the life inside of her, the beauty of carrying her baby, etc. She refers to her miscarriage as the death of her child, etc. When she discusses her pregnancy and various rumors surrounding it, she makes a statement along the lines of how it is a baby in her stomach and one should never mess around with the life of a baby. They are beautiful scenes, really. The rest of the movie is crap.

Correcting the OP, it did actually get attention from both Pro-Choice and Pro-Life groups. Pro-Life groups flaunted the scenes while Pro-Choice groups just pointed to her support of Obama and her past statements claiming she supports Choice.

Thing is, it is basically impossible to "vilify" Bey right now, so the Pro-Choice aren't going to go there. She stirred up some feminist bloggers with her comments about how a real woman knows her maternal feelings and cannot go against them, etc.

Did she mention what her position was on abortion for rape victims?

I don't know if you can say that it "continues to grow" considering that in 2011 your research shows "pro-choice" leading 49%-45%??

All she would have to do is insert the word Republican next to her name and she'd be toast.

Very interesting, from a statistical and theological perspective. I have always taken issue with the Freakonomics FILM for devoting much less time to the line:

“even for someone who considers a fetus to be worth only one one-hundredth of a human being, the trade-off between higher abortion and lower crime is, by an economist’s reckoning, terribly inefficient.”

Thanks for posting.

No, she doesn't discuss abortion outright at all, at least that I can remember. My guess would be that her outlook on rape victims would be different.

Saw that too. It is more correct to say that Pro-Choice is dropping, as in 2012 Pro-Choice support is at 41%, or lower than it has been in over 20 years. Pretty steep drop from 2011 on. Very, very odd considering the political climate.
