South Dakota R- Rep Billy (Graham) Napoli

I can't believe someone would be ignorant enough to say this, but here goes:

BILL NAPOLI: A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated. I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her life.

What if she was a virgin and saving herself for another woman, and she considered herself religious? Hmm.
Or how would it NOT psychologically mess up an non-virginal, non-religious woman? Or a married pious woman. And what the hell does sodomy have to do with it? Really no abortion needed there, but there goes your typical closet dweller.
I could go off on a rant about a moron like this, but he does it all so well himself.
I wonder if he would allow his daughter (don't know if he has one) to get an abortion if she was raped, sodomized, etc.. by a sociopath with a genetic birth defect that would most likely be transmitted to any offspring he sires.
Well, there's always the back-alley.

Sorry, was so pissed off at this waste of cells I forgot the link
 
I think I saw this twit on TV. He was longing for the good old days, when you had to marry the girl if you knocked her up. He longed for a return to those days. Talk about selective memory.

He forgot to mention a couple of other real world descriptions:
The woman has enough money to go to another state or coutnry for an abortion.
The woman is so desperate for an abortion she accuses the man she got pregnant with of raping her.


 
I guess he figures that if Mary was able to give birth to a bastard child named Jesus, then it's good enough of SD's single mothers as well.
 
This man (Napoli) is Anti-American and should be forced to give up his citizenship.
 
believe it or not, i agree with every liberal on here: I'm very pro-choice, and not Christian. I just thought i'd say so, on the record, for those who might think I'm some right-wing nutcase! lol...
 
It wasn't graham that said it, I just threw in that nickname because I thought it was so damn fitting, it was a representative from SD.
 
This actually brings up a very interesting philosophical question to me.....Would the Gentleman from South Dakota support Mary's right to have had Jesus aborted? After all, the way that I see it is:

Mary was raped by God.

The story goes that she was a virgin and was implanted by God with a baby. She gives birth to the bastard child and names him Jesus and the rest is history and folklore intertwined.

Logically, only two conclusions can be drawn:

1. God raped Mary by impregnating her without her consent or knowledge

or

2. The entire story is a lie (which doesn't bode well for Bible purists that take it literally)

What think you?

Maybe I should present this argument to him and watch his head explode like that dude in scanners?

organized and fanatical religion perhaps... but not ALL religion. I, for one, feel that there is nothing wrong in having a little bit of faith in something above or beyond one's self, IF that is necessary for someone to draw strength from to get through each day. Besides, it's awfully egotistical to believe that we are the most intelligent collective in the universe...

that said, the moment any belief or religion approaches fanaticism, or worse yet, violent fanaticism, then we have a problem...

I do have to say until that statement, yes I would've thought you as you put it "a right-wing nutcase". Good to know there's something I can agree with you on.

and I'm sure there is much more we could agree on... I've insisted from the beginning that I'm a centrist in most of my beliefs. I think that it's my general support of, and active participation in, the GWOT, that forces me to the right in most of the discussion around here...

btw, I'm glad too.

Very true.. I actually believe there is some sort of spirit world.. but I wouldn't try to control your life becasue of my belief...

Christians who try to control others should be executed by Jesus himself...

If there is A God he is a serious SLACKER..
 
The Talibornagains are in power. Anyone doubting the power of the Dominionist movement is seeing the "fruits" of their efforts spring forth.
 
Gee, it's starting to get embarassing to be from South Dakota. All I can say is just be glad you don't live here, your just getting a small taste of some of the nuts I get to live amongst. 😀

Actually Joseph was looking to get rid of her when he found out and God stopped him.

Matthew 1
19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Luke 1
26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

29And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

36And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

37For with God nothing shall be impossible.

38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

I guess she had knowledge and gave consent.

Conclusion 1 is out so that leaves Conclusion 2 and only those in the grave hold proof and they aren't talking, but feel free to ask them when you join them.

 
BWA HA HA HA HA !!


Someone's using the heavily edited and incredibly biased and inaccurate New Testament to prove something?

BWA HA HA HA HA HA!!
