They happen to align with my values. I was raised Christian, and I only became agnostic in college, so that probably plays into it.

For example, abortion, I think murder is abohherent, baby murder especially so. I don't know when the right to life begins, so I err on the side of caution, at the earliest point, at conception.

Im not anti-lgbtq.

I dont hold contempt for atheism, I dont like /r/atheism

Christian nationalism is weird one because no one seems to know what that actually means. And hell, freedom of religion is one of the most important rights, right next to free speech.

I hope that helps.

Being a fetus doesn't excuse a foreign body's presence inside of mine. I do not intend to be pregnant and if my partner's sperm invades my body when I do not want it I will take every step to eliminate it or the process that follows it. A fetus isn't important. If anything forcing someone to exist is the utmost violation of bodily autonomy. As they say, just because something is natural doesn't make it good.
