Someone doesn't understand the words "non-viable". You really should start by reading a dictionary before you start redefining words like fetus, life, and enslave.

Funny how you only care about the dead unborn child, not the living one or the mother.

I'm fine discussing viability, but don't be rude when that wasn't the topic in the comment you're responding to.

Funny how you only care about the dead unborn child

The comment you're responding to, I even said that I'm not arguing about the article, I'm saying more in general. My response was to someone saying I want to enslave women, because I'm pro-life.

In the specific case of the article, I agree with you, and this is an good scenario which many pro-lifers see an exception for.

If you'd like to converse, all I ask is that you're not hostile. You can state your case and I can state mine, without being a dick.

No you can't because your position is inherently dickish.

What a good way to shut down conversation. I think that's what's wrong with the political climate now days, you get in an echo chamber and any deviation from your echo chamber and you shut down conversation saying that any deviation from you is 'inherently dickish.'

If you'd actually like to discuss, I'm here.

If you can't help but to be a dick in your comments, I won't care to discuss.

It's been explained to you but you lack the understanding of the definition of words so your comprehension has failed utterly.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's been explained? That you refuse to discuss this with me because you're always 100% right and that any other argument that deviates from yours is inherently 'dickish'? You've made that known.

Once again, I'd love to discuss if you'd like. Having an unpopular opinion really helps me engage with the other side and know where they're coming from. I think sometimes you should give that liberty to someone you disagree with.

Do you practice being this stupid or does it come naturally?

Look man, you can insult me all you want, doesn't matter. I'm a young conservative in an extremely liberal state, I've heard it all.
