Thank you for your comment. It is nice to get views from people who may not agree with a position, but can do so without hate & ignorance. And I say that about both sides of the issue because neither side is ever completely innocent.

I agree, I think many of the Women's Rights issues need to be separated. I think the only real way to tackle any of them is to focus on them as individual issues. There are too many times that issues lose ground and focus because they get lumped in together.
“Terry Jones” is just one of those people who only support the Right to Free Speech if it is speech they agree with.

I definitely have a much different stance than you on abortion. For starters, I refuse to lump it in with "women's rights" as if it's the right to vote. Hopefully, you don't flame me for it (that WOULD be contradictory of you).

That said, trolls like "Terry Jones" piss me off. He won't change anyone because no one changes their views on subjects like this without it being a completely intrinsic epiphany. Furthermore, even if he changed one person's mind, the fact remains that it's completely futile because millions of others will continue to do things that cheese him off.

People need to wake up and quit intimidating others on silly things like social issues. These are things that need to be taken up with government. Maybe Terry's just pissed that taking it up with the government won't do a whole lot of good with a Democrat-controlled Congress and White House.

Kudos to you for standing up for what you believe in and not letting morons get the best of you.

I am a pro-life advocate but I believe in equal rights for women in matters of pay, respect and opportunities.

"Terry Jones" fails to follow the teachings of Christ "Judge ye not, lest ye be judged." "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." and my favorite, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

I am a Christian but I do not believe in organized religion. It is not the belief that is corrupted it is the religion as it, like all things where people interject their personal feelings, is corrupted.

Change.org is nothing more than a place where people seeking to make some things better gather for like minded idealisms to gather.

"Terry Jones" is nothing more than a hate monger who fails to understand the lessons from the bible.
