Re: DEFEND ABORTION! PROTEST FOR WOMEN'S LIBERTY!

to pro-choice - the reason people like tara and and other anti-choice people are here is that we have free speech and its a nice thing to have a dialogue with other people.
Yes it is ok to say that slavery is ok and whatever else you choose to SAY. Once you start acting on it, that is where you will face opposition and other things.

It comes down to censorship - the beauty of this board that I hope indymedia will preserve is that it is open and demorcratic. And in a fully free and democratic society we have a right to say what is on our minds as oppose to agree all the time to what the state says.
Not all humans think the same. To hear other arguments as oppose to silencing them helps the left and progressives. Imagine offering a positive argument that convinces Tara and Connie and whoever that hey, women should have a right to choose as it is their bodies.
By just saying shut up to all the opposition you are not really changing people's minds.

And, pro-choice, once speech about such unpopular stuff is censored who is to say that YOUR right to speech is going to be preserved? Who will decide what is the acceptable speech? I reallyl hope its not you.
