Im getting you a tricorn hat and buckled shoes for your birthday cuz this is a level of Puritanism I haven’t seen since reading Nathaniel Hawthorne in AP English.
I agree that is was wrong for the Rep politician to kill her dog. Most people that have these beliefs probably would not even kill a spider in their home. And carry it outside. It is also wrong to kill children in Gaza, and yet. Many of these same people believe they are entitled to kill their own healthy unborn child. These people are the worlds biggest hypocrites. And Harris's platform on abortion is just wrong, very wrong.
The key to everything is balance. If you've been married as long as I have you come to understand limits on pleasure as quickly as one learns limits on food consumption or tv consumption, etc....a balanced adult should have healthy parameters and filters. I don't drink alchohol or smoke tobacco for a decade now but you're wrong about commercial tobacco not having as many toxins as pot....it's not even close...what pot has are tars though that will lead to bronchitis or emphysema if smoked too much without filters. You have every freedom to carry all your children to term and refute birth control, etc...what you don't have is the right to dictate what choice someone else makes given their own circumstances which more than likely have nothing to do with pleasure and everything to do with the ways and means to raise a child and nourish it. Not everyone has a healthy environment to be a parent...especially a young teen parent. I don't believe in late term abortion but before a child is formed, I don't consider it yet conscious nor alive...it is a growth in a woman's body for the first few weeks. Sperm is a life form as well...leaving it in a condom isn't murder. Call me a hypocrite but I've murdered billions of my own sperm cells at this point.
150k on a zoom call. I couldn't be on one during covid with 6 people without everyone talk start stopping and forgetting to mute!
Agree 100%, it should be the mother's choice. If Im honest with myself and others, I dont believe in late term abortion but I do get bothered when I think about a fetus at over 25 weeks that can feel pain when they are aborted.
That all depends on if the host believes it's a baby or not. You don't get to make that decision and neither do I. That's a personal decision. And history shows that removing and restricting that right results in only negative outcomes for society. Increased crime. Increased sucide rates. Increase accidental death rates. Etc. Nothing positive. This needs to be a choice. If we want fewer abortions the only moral way to get that is to educate and empower women.
Cows are highly social animals, chickens have emotions, and pigs are smarter than some humans. All die to serve a purpose no greater than a Taco Bell value meal. Humans are not special and we should not feel any special guilt for abortions; we’ve been aborting unwanted embryos and fetuses for longer than we’ve had writing. The needs of the individual involved in the choice are more important than a stranger’s comfort with the decision. Putting effort towards eliminating infant and child mortality would be the most compassionate thing to do.
