I don't see it. Appreciating children means you must want them to be created in as great numbers as possible regardless of any other factors? Is that it?

You don't "Celebrate Kids" by killing babies.
This picture is the height of irony.

Oh, so you the real point here is that you use a weird definition of "baby" and think it's "ironic" when people use a different one. I think it's ironic when people say something is ironic but actually just mean to say that they disagree with a person's politics.

Not sure where I used a "weird definition of "baby". I should have said "newly created human being" rather than baby.
Politics aside, that picture is ironic.

In this case, you can't put politics aside, because that's the apparent intent of the OP.

Would it have been more ironic if the license plate read "Celebrate Abortion" and the sticker "Keep kids legal" ?

This isn't an example of irony because the kids pictured in the "Celebrate Kids" license plate appear to be upper middle-class white kids; not necessarily those for which abortion was originally designed to eliminate.

You should have said "handful of undifferentiated cells that might eventually grow into a human being but now has less in common with a complete person than a corpse does." Because that would likely be closer to the view of the person we're talking about here.

Hardly. Life begins at conception.
Now we are never going to agree on that so you believe what you want and I'll accept the word of God.

Precisely. That was my point from the beginning. You're not actually pointing out an irony, you're saying that you and this person disagree on this matter.

While there is no direct quote from the Bible that explicitly says life begins at conception, it is a basic tenet of my Catholic faith and has been taught since the beginning of the church starting with St. Peter.
And "my" God is everyone's God, at least for those who believe in Him. If you don't, well then that's your right.

Sigh, it is ironic that this person would display two apparently contradicting/opposing viewpoints.
I happen to disagree with the pro-abortion one.

They only appear to contradict if you look at it with assumptions that this person would not make. It's much like if an atheist were to come in here and post a "Jesus is love" sign and go "Ha ha ha, how ironic!" I'm sure you wouldn't see it, because you don't come to the thread with the assumption that Jesus represents hate.

that's what I thought. So, really, you're basing your opinion on a human's interpretation of the word of your god rather than an actual statement from your god.

I didn't see any sarcasm tags there either.

Could have created? The sperm and ova were there, and apparently that's all you need to be a human being. So all these human beings were split in two and killed.

Margret Sanger is "random" when we are talking about "birth control" rights?

Since this thread is about somebody who as far as we know is not related to Sanger at all, yes, bringing up Sanger seems a little out-of-left-field.

From what I understand, Sanger was also anti-abortion. So my guess is that Stupendousman just has a big problem with birth control, or something.

Ebuddy inferred that the promotion of certain birth control practices had been forwarded in the early days not as a way to stop healthy, white babies from being born, but rather to curb the less desirable "human weeds" from overpopulating the country. He was accused of "sarcasm".
Sanger, the woman responsible for Planned Parenthood, was one of the people who very publicly supported this position. Much like how she advised people not to let the "negroes" in on the effort to ween their race down via different types of "birth control" in order to create a race of "thoroughbreds," she would often downplay the role of more controversial methods for her potentially squeamish white supporters - but as the quotes show, she supported all methods of keeping a eugenically cleansed world free from "human beings who never should have been born."
Again, in the context and flow of the discussion, it wasn't really out of "left field". What Ebuddy wrote needed no sarcasm tag.

Well then surely we can then infer that the modern day pro-choice movement is just a well disguised system designed to reduce the inferior black population. Thanks for clearing that up.

I don't understand what Margaret Sanger has to do with the abortion debate, unless you're trying to argue that using birth control also equals killing babies (which could be an extension of the conception argument).

I'll run down the logic.
Sanger founded Planned Parenthood
Sanger was a big crazy racist
Planned Parenthood is a huge player in the pro-choice/abortion movement
THEREFORE...
The modern day Pro-Choice movement is being perpetuated by powerful secret liberal puppetmasters who want nothing more then to exterminate the inferior black race. Which is obviously the entire hidden agenda of the liberal movement. To keep the poor desperate and dependent on the government so that they can remain in power and continue to oppress us all.
It's all so obvious.

The difference is, the conservative constituents are the ones expected to keep their wealth. (Power, in some cases, but definitely not all in the hands of big government).
With the Democrat philosophy, the constituents are the ones expected to be poor, with politicians and an ever growing big government holding on to both wealth and power.
Why anyone would want to hitch their wagon to the side that would rather you be poor and powerless, and wanting an ever more powerful and bigger government in order to be a good member of the party, is beyond me, but there you have it.

It is the exact same system, the only difference is who you label as the constituents. The conservative constituent is the group that ensures wealth and power to a select few at the expense of the poor. The liberal constituent is the poor, kept poor at the expense of the groups in charge of protecting the wealth and power of a select few.

It's the same wagon, you're just arguing over using a donkey or a mule. You're either oppressed by the government, or you're oppressed by the aristocracy. Pick one.

That wasn't my argument.
You're welcome.
Again, Ebuddy mentioned the fact that in the past, people like Sanger pushed the idea that the "less desirable" (code word for the poor and minorities) should not be able to pro-create and in fact that it would be a good thing if their offspring were just killed.
Someone replied inferring that he wasn't being serious, when in fact what he said was true.
While that doesn't mean that people who currently support abortion rights feel the same way as many did back when this crazy left-wing stuff was being proposed, it is a part of the historical context of the discussion.

Okay then, so the conservative movement is all about removing all government intervention so that big business can continue to oppress us while big religion is allowed to dictate the law of the land. The conservative movement is the wealthy using religion, fear and ignorance to convince the poor to vote for them, even though they do not have their best interests at heart.
Making broad insulting generalizations is FUN!

It's ironic because Saturn is an aborted GM brand. Clearly the "keep abortion legal" sticker is a pro-Saturn rallying cry.
In the same way, "legalize gay" t-shirts are really a statement in support of hipster fashion trends.
