Posted on DU with the headline "If anti-birth control logic was applied to men."

Looks like they are confusing pro life and anti birth control

whatever the case, it's fricking retarded.

It's pretty self-explanatory.

that is pretty self explanatory

the pro choice argument is that pro lifers also believe that masturbation is murder because every sperm is precious.

It is the stance that women are being unfairly punished with the "life begins at conception" meme while men aren't punished for masturbating and destroying millions of sperm.

It falls short since no one is claiming that an egg or sperm is life, only that the combination of the two is.

The OP states that he found it on DU.

If you are completely ignorant on the basics of the pro-life logic, it makes perfect sense.

Left wing logic to a T. Push the debate so far out of bounds that you win when a settlement occurs.

If masturbation is murder, the grim reaper is playing semi pro ball and I am Ted Williams.

It is supposed to be a witty social commentary about the inconsistency of the "pro-life" position as it applies to men.

Sadly, the artist doesn't appear to understand the position very well, so a false comparison has been made. While I think it makes the artist look ignorant on the issue, it will probably resound with a lot of people who are also ignorant on the issue and who will use it as a counter-point in future arguments and discussions.

Pretty much.

If it were a question about only eggs or sperm by themselves, you'd think that there would be people out there protesting every month about how women are having their periods instead of barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

The story I'm thinking of was a guy who'd rather whack off and waste his seed than to use it to impregnate his brother's wife like he was asked.

I don't see prolifers wanting to make menstruation illegal, so this cartoon is retarded.

So is the guy's employer forced to buy his tickets to the porno?

Anytime you think people on this board are irrational, unreasonable, and overly emotional, just spend a few minutes on DU. This board is like a conference of Nobel prize winners in comparison.
