I think that Nadine's blog needs a thread of its own, so full to the brim it is of the most gobsmackingly unmitigated, batshit insane, raving shite.

Read it here and be amazed:

Take special note of Nad's observation that backbench Tories shout at Cameron in the street:

"Oi! We're still here - don't forget about how our voters feel when you're gadding about on the Eurostar, eating Sarkozy's legs and sucking Merkel's face."

I am not making this up.

Insane. But apparently her 'fans' believe her.

Yeah. It was the bit about Cameron eating Sarkozy's legs that baffled me.

Well, I suppose you'd eat his legs as he's a frog. No idea about Merkel, though.

It doesn't allow comments. Can't imagine why not...

Oh yeah - frog's legs - I get it now. That's such a shite joke it genuinely went right over my head until you explained it.

I've heard the argument before though, so I'm not inclined to think she's lying. After all, babies are just living animals, they're not really "people" since they don't have personalities or mental faculties (in b4 massive argument on what defines people). That said, I don't think they should be abortable, and I doubt most humanists feel this way either. This is an utterly transparent example of nad 'poisoning the well' against this organisation which clearly sees she's batshit insane.

That said, I'm not surprised a Christian would say this, I saw some Christians comment that they want all soldiers dead, and think its gods judgement. They even protest at the soldiers' funerals!

My point would be that she uses this one anecdote (which, incidentally I don't believe) to prove that Humanism is an extreme movement.

That isn't very honest, is it?

Nad is saying that some humanists advocate murder.

Why? Because it suits her agenda to conflate the abortion of a human blastocyst - no more than a collection of cells - with killing a sentient, conscious, thinking, fully developed human being. Never mind that that is clearly an out and out lie - no humanist would ever advocate such a thing - it suits Nad's bonkers purpose.

She has since linked to the source of the baby killing quote.

I can't get onto her blog at the moment for some reason, but I think it was essentially saying that if you had to choose between killing a newborn baby or a 'developed' person, it would be less bad to kill the baby, because it is less aware of what's going on.

The upper hand is on the other foot now.

Ah right, it was a dilemma.

Will Nad answer if it's better to save a mother or a baby?

Or how about spend money on nuclear weapons or health?

If you could save a million lives by torturing one person, would it be morally acceptable?
The Utilitarian Conundrum.

If I can save a million lives by taking one, the position looks clear.
If I can save two lives by taking one - it starts to look a bit less obvious, but the principle is the same.

I've used that kind of example before, not because I think it's acceptable to kill children, but to try and clarify the terms in a debate and figure out what distinguishes murder from abortion, from an ethical point of view. It's a rhetorical question.

I wouldn't be surprised if the humanist was doing something similar, not actually saying it was OK at all. I also wouldn't be surprised if the humanist is fictitious.

Even if this was a 100% accurate quote (which I doubt), it still shows her doing what a lot of idiots do to try and prove their own point- namely looking at a group that holds the kind of views they dislike, seeking out a quote they can use in their favour, and then acting as though just because one person in the group says it, all the others must think the same.

Yes, all humanists believe in abortion up to and beyond full term, because one humanist says so. Ridiculous. Sadly though, this kind of thing works on some people.
