A rhetoricpig critique of abortion rhetoric, and two wholly inappropriate songs.

Both by Blowfly, Weird World Records ‘80-‘Show Me A Man Who Don’t Like To F*ck...’ that’s quality, and ‘Blowfly’s Rapp’, that’s just for historical value.

Pro-lifer, “They just like to kill babies.” That is NOT valid rhetoric.
Pro-choicer, “They just want women barefoot and pregnant.” That is not valid rhetoric, you can wear shoes and go to work, and THEY’re not going to impregnate you.
Pro-lifer, “God says it’s a sacred life!” This is valid rhetoric. But who cares?
Pro-choicer, “They like to execute and bomb people.” This is not valid rhetoric. It’s not about the issue nor is it about you and THEY have definitive justifications about the differences between murder and killing. So drop that.
Pro-lifer, “It’s a culture of death! They worship death!” The first statement is an example of valid though f*cked rhetoric. The second statement is bullsh*t but the sad thing is that if it’s true(which it’s not but they DO believe it is) then it is valid rhetoric. Hmmm, a dilemma.
Pro-choicer, “They want to control women’s bodies.” Nope, no good. It may get them off to control women’s bodies but that is incidental to saving the little embryos.
