If someone is disrespectful, vulgar, or threatening, you should block them. Regarding the issue of abortion. I personally don't believe in having an abortion unless it is necessary. Sometimes, abortions are necessary to save the life of the mother. But we have no right to dictate to women whether they can have an abortion. The only thing we can do, and the appropriate thing to do, is to set limits on when you can have an abortion.

Respectfully, I do find it difficult to conceptualize “not having the right to dictate to women what they can do with their bodies”. To me, it is the body of the child that the woman dictates what is done to it. The woman, in almost all cases, has a choice to impregnate herself with another person and thereby necessitating the possibility of abortion. Maybe, just maybe, you could use your considerable influence to encourage women to refrain from participating in activities that might result in her having to contemplate such an unfortunate decision. That being the most benign course of action.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I do want to hear all kind of opinions. I have been proven wrong, and I admit it. But somebody has to give me information to prove it.
Blocking is a weak position to take. They don't have an argument so they block. They don't even understand that they did you a favor. You don't have to see their content anymore.

I think if you state your case and say what you believe is right if they block you then its just one those things. So long you don't lower yourself into name calling and petty trolling! It might be hard to resist sometimes keep your moral highground after all you are right aren't you?😀
I ain’t everybody’s cup of tea, and that’s okay. Not everybody is going to agree with me, and that’s okay too. People who block me are doing me a favor.

Totally disagree with the last statement in your opening paragraph... It doesn't mean your statement is correct.

I don't think either side is "right". I just believe in having a choice. If a mother cant carry a baby full term why should she die.

@Spoiledbrat there are all kind of people who support all kinds of different issues, All pro life that I know and I am a part of all say the mothers life comes first when her life is being threatened. There is a difference in a woman’s health and her life

That’s right Missyann. I don’t think abortions are justified on the grounds of just “health”. That condition referred to as health I think is one that has a possible fatal consequence.

I don’t believe that I attack people. I just give facts as “ I believe them to be “. I have been proven wrong, and I’ll accept that I am not always right. However, I don’t say that I am wrong when I know that I’m not just to please who I’m talking to.
If anyone thinks that I do, attack please let me know the reason why you believe that I am

I only block people who attack me, generally speaking, but I do wish I could curate a feed that contains less nonsense and nastiness, and more beauty and wholesomeness.

Blocking someone in a civil discussion is basically defaulting on your own position.

Missyann, you may have something. If they block you then they don’t have to research anything:):)

It depends on the difference of opinions, some people have some that can be quite controversial and some quite demented, trolling your posts quite often, so they get blocked just to keep them away.
