Abortion question....

@Slade You know I respect other people's opinions very much, as long as those people are kind and polite, and I have no reason to complain about you. 🌷

@helenS You shouldn't. I always speak to you kindly. Some things I know very well and I don't sugarcoat them. To do so would diminish how well I know them

@helenS It's hard to comment when the MSM is propagandizing 24/7 and you dont live here or know all the facts and details.

@SW-User 'unborn' isn't a magic threshold. 😂

Do you think a soul swoops down on the first breath?

@SW-User I think air fills the lungs at the first breath 😂
There is no such thing as a soul but in the context it's used a soul is the product of a persons thoughts and feelings and morals I guess

@SW-User That’s a matter of opinion re the soul part.

@Slade Real classy. You would probably be the first to complain because she does not "put out". No wonder you are single.

@chrisCA It works every time genius. Now back to mommy's basement with you

@Slade Go away.

@NerdyPotato Do I have to give you a blow by blow account of different abortion processes at different stages?

Grow up. You know the tooth fairy doesn't magic the baby out of the womb

You make me sick. Demon.

Oh great, writing a reply and then blocking me so I can't read it. 🙄 But I very much doubt it addressed any of my points or questions anyway. It was probably just a bunch of name calling because she already ran out of facts to support her stance, right? 😁

@SW-User If killing defenseless children is always wrong, are you against warfare? Because war inevitably kills children.

@CountScrofula you are joking

@MasterLee The thread ain't about if you support BLM if it's BLM and abortion have anything to do with one another.

It's like asking "What was Reagan's policy on Guatemala?" and answering "Trickle down doesn't work!"

@CountScrofula you have twisted logic there dude

@Slade do you speak to your mother like that?

@LilithoftheTrees Of course he does.

@luv2fish So Black guys are automatically BLM? Were the white guys automatically Proud Boys?

@Lila15 Obviously you were not there to watch what I saw. Lose the racism.

@luv2fish You need to lose the racism. What proof do you have that Black rioters were BLM members? BLM denounced the violence.

Several white gangs like the Proud Boys, the 3 Percenters, and Patriot Prayer specifically condoned the violence their members were committing.

@ron122 What support for single moms do Republicans offer?

@ABCDEF7 True. Especially when some pander to certain religious groups to get votes.

@chrisCA While that is true I have to disagree with ABCDEF7s comment. Religions are inherently divisive. Each religion (especially the abrahamic ones) claim truth to their belief while dismissing the other side and especially dismissing science. Political parties just capitalize on that fact to gain votes

@SW-User "Humans are just not a homogenous group therefore it's impossible to just represent humanity. People are different but should be equal in treatment." :
Why they should be treated equal if they are different? Because the common thing that make you think they should be treated equal is the human in them, and recognizing that is humanity. It's about respecting the differences.

"Divide is impossible to avoid but should be kept in line. Different groups of people face different problems and situations that are intertwined with broader society and it's structures." :
They face different problems and situations because some people/politicians don't let you accept/forget the difference. Political mindset also uses religion to to fulfil their purpose. Even some religion can be formed out of political mindset.

Spirituality(not to be confused with getting religious) makes you love every life irrespective of any attribute related to your body/birth. But you will not find any political party promoting spirituality. Because it ruins their business of divide and rule. If they can support a religion, why not spirituality?

"Religions are inherently divisive. Each religion (especially the Abrahamic ones) claim truth to their belief while dismissing the other side and especially dismissing science." :
Take the example of Hindu religion(definitely not Abrahamic) where they have different faiths and different type of faiths, but all live in harmony. Even the religions that stem out of Hindu religion like Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism etc. don't even fight with each other. The religions that either emerged out of political mindset or those whose control later become a political are only trying to create a divide among religions. A religion by it's nature should only teach people to live in harmony unless it is created to benefit of divide or later gets politically controlled.

@Slade difficult to get jeans on that way

@meJess no one forced them to get pregnant either.

@meJess wear a dress

@YourMomsSecretCrush the original intent by the founder was to stop blacks from reproducing. She was a staunch liberal.

@YourMomsSecretCrush Ironically, the modern anti-abortion movement was started by racists like Jerry Falwell. Falwell began as a segregationist, but pivoted to the trifecta of opposing abortion rights, gay rights, and "feminism" when public sentiment turned against segregation. Falwell's political involvement began after the Brown v. Board of Education decision, because he didn't want his kids attending school with Black kids. It was further cemented by the Green v. Kennedy decision, which prohibited government funding of religious schools that practiced segregation. Bob Jones University famously paid back their tax exemption rather than integrate, and even as late as 2000, still prohibited interracial dating among their students.

The anti-abortion movement was started by racists and is still supported by white nationalists and other racists.

@LilithoftheTrees Because enough people voted to support the program regardless of my personal view. That's how government works; we're not going to like everything.

@Graylight interesting. I wonder what my government’s policies are.

@LilithoftheTrees They should be available anywhere, depending on your country. Never before has so much information been so widely available.

@MarineBob In European countries the costs are payed by the woman's health insurance.

@MarineBob I know what you mean. I mean, a child...what's that, right? Or a young mom-to-be who's wondering how she'll juggle school, a job and a child all while risking being thrown out of her house? Or that woman who had the audacity to be raped and now spends every waking moment wondering how she'll be able to love her 1st child because it reminds her of her worst day.

Tell me, Bob, are you just as mad at education or infrastructure? How 'bout Putting Fish on Treadmills, Proving That Gingerbread Houses Are Earthquake-Proof, Finding Out if Playing With Barbie Dolls Helps With Facial Recognition, NASA Research on How Religious Groups Would Respond To Aliens? All studies underway.

Are you angry your money goes to paying for shady doctors to stay in business? Subsidizing massive agricultural corporations?

Or is it just abortion and those tax dollars, Bob?

@RogueLoner As a radical leftist I am just offended you called liberals radical 😂
