Nov 18, 2008 - Heh. Hope I'm not the only one to notice that all the "doctors" were vacuum cleaner brands.

Nov 18, 2008 - actually pro life means just what it says: against abortion, against the death penalty and against war. The conservative Republicans use it to only apply to abortion, but pro-life means PRO-LIFE. Get your facts straight.

swandog1965 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Whoever says that pro-life means GROUPING abortion, anti-war and anti death penalty together is WRONG. They are 3 SEPARATE issues entirely. And for people who cannot discern that, I can't help you.

soapgirl23 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - actually pro life really means against abortion only. anti war and anti death penalty are 2 different issues all together.

jhardwick1969 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Wow, I wanted to post a comment on how, after all these years, Steve's music continues to challenge you and make you think, but I see an anti-this vs. anti-that screaming and bold faced letters nursery school fight has broken out...but then again maybe that just proves the point.

swandog1965 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Call this political discussion whatever you want, but these things have to be said. I am stating what I believe, and how it is the only thing that actually makes sense. I am tired of liberals bendng and twisting something as simple as the phrase pro-life into something completely different altogether. But nursey school fight? Hardly. I suppose you think The O'Reilly Factor, The Mark Levin Show, and Hannity's America is full of nursery school fights, then?

Nov 18, 2008 - The definition of "pro-life" is not an opinion, it is a fact. "Pro-life" refers to one's opinion on abortion, specifically that abortion is wrong. It is apposed by "pro-choice", which believes that abortion is acceptable.

Nov 18, 2008 - What an awesome song! Too bad it was so misinterpreted!

iwebber88 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - That's called political framing. Even Wikipedia can agree with that.

iwebber88 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - "Pro-life is... It can be used to indicate opposition to practices such as euthanasia, human cloning, research involving human embryonic stem cells, and the death penalty, but most commonly (especially in the media and popular discourse) to abortion, and support for fetal rights. The term describes the political and ethical view which maintains that fetuses and embryos are human beings, and therefore have a right to live."

iwebber88 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Saying that it is only abortion is an example of political framing, as I said.

Vadskye Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I hereby declare you INTELLIGENT! Yay!(I'm a liberal who sympathizes with pacifists, but I think that war can be necessary - just because we don't fight doesn't mean everyone else won't.)

Vadskye Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - dictionary(dot)reference(dot)com/browse/pro-lifeen(dot)wiktionary(dot)org/wiki/pro-lifePro-life only refers to being against abortion. Even if it was originally politically framed, that framing was so incredibly successful that it is now the only recognizable definition.(stupid youtube censoring urls)

Vadskye Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - And thus we see the downside of Wikipedia. It by no means is the be-all and end-all of truth, and it makes no claim to be. Wikipedia is a fantastic tool to *begin* research, and to acquire a general awareness of a subject, but one should always go beyond that one page. No website, not even one as useful as Wikipedia, can adequately express all of the facets of an issue like this in a perfectly truthful manner.

Vadskye Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - In that vein, I'm starting a discussion on the talk page of Wikipedia to consider redefining "pro-life" to be more in line with its actual usage.

iwebber88 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Funny that you mention Wikipedia's errors. I edit Wikipedia myself, I have over 1024 edits, and oddly enough, this page, "pro-life" is very much under my watchlist.Secondly, jsut because a term is used more commonly to mean something doesn't make it the only definition. Secondly Dictionary (dot) com sucks as a source - it's bad with etymology and doesn't provide all meanings of the word. Try Fanny - where it can mean anything from an egg basket to a vagina.

Vadskye Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - ...hrm. I don't suppose you'd be IronCrow? We can continue the main discussion on the talk page, if so...And don't misunderstand me - I absolutely love Wikipedia, and I do what I can to help occasionally, but it should never be confused with being the absolute perfect truth.

iwebber88 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - And you misunderstood me. I never said that Wikipedia should be considered that.

iwebber88 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - What does that have to do with anything?

iwebber88 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Which isn't what Wikipedia is about. Applicable laws and national/state Pro-life organizations use the term to mean just what it says.If anti-abortion was the only recognizable definition, then there wouldn't be me here arguing about it.

MatMann Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Steve kicks azz, as usual, and it's the pro-death, two-faced baby butchers that squirm when he gets out his razor-sharp wit and musical talent and slices and dices their greed and anti-humanity. Rock on, man, and keep telling it like it really is!

Cinemajig Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Abortions Tickle. I like ice cream.

bbeninnh Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - While I can't say I would blow up a clinic, I can understand the feeling and thank god for heroes who put it on the line and act out their faith. I'll send money and prayers to them.We're all warriors for god.

njcnetdude Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Too cool! I still laugh at ice cream trucks today thanks to Steve

A4est Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - He said he's got a Napolean complex..
