Just say you hate women.
Yeah seems that way. People who think it's okay for abortion to be illegal, whatever concessions they make, all seem to fall into the same few camps. Hate women, don't understand the risks and long term effects of pregnancy on the human body, or don't understand that an abortion is almost never done on what's considered a baby. Generally a venn diagram that is almost an even circle.
You guys keep repeating that line when its obviously bullshit. It not about hating or controlling women, its obviously about believing the fetus has the right to protection. I just dont understand how you guys are falling for the line about wanting to control women.
I would believe this more if the people who were prolife also believed in other socially progressive policies, but it seems their care and respect for the dignity of a human (or fetus in this case) ends after it’s born
This is another line that is wrong. I dont like "progressive policies" because they create slaves of the state and I emphatically disagree that they are actually helping the people they are supposed to be helping. The war on poverty would be the best example of this.
Well, the alternative is slaves to corporations, which isn’t going so well. The only reason it’s not worse is government interventions. There is a significant percentage of the population that can’t fend for themselves or have little value to employers. Your approach basically condemns them to die or live in abject poverty. It also causes crime as they run out of other options. There’s no reason that a society with as much wealth as we have has to be this way. Everyone deserves to have at least food, shelter, medical care, and basic necessities. As technology advances, the share of the population with no value to employers is likely to grow significantly in the near future, so you may find yourself eating your words
Considering I'm married with kids and my wife is more against abortion than I am, I guess my wife also hates women. Good to know I guess.
"I married a woman" is a shit argument. I hope you don't have daughters because your views prove neither of you care about their future.
Wow, you must be fun at parties.
This isn't a party... This is women's lives, health, and quality of life. Your takes are so off the wall...
I'm talking about your ad hominem attack, not the topic at hand.
Its the "you have to agree with me or you are bad" rhetoric. Literally we are not allowed to have different opinions anymore.
People are down voting you because you're routinely misrepresenting or misunderstanding them all over this thread. Since your comments are perfectly clear otherwise this is leading other commenters to believe you're acting in bad or trolling.
Actually this very comment of yours that I'm responding to is a pretty good example of that.
I dont really care if I get downvoted. Do you understand how people on left wing social media literally cant disagree or get called names?
This is not in any way limited to left wing social media lol... Donald Trump is the master of name-calling and Truth Social and the like is littered with his euphemisms. Pay more attention.
Yeah, it's pretty annoying imo. I try to be respectful and articulate, and then run into nonsense like this.
Whatever, I guess some people are just like that.
I wish there was some way to only communicate to adults or people with reasonable thoughts. Half the comments are just lame insults.
