Many of them are illogical, or have logic descending from extremely dubious axioms.

For example, "abortion is murder of an innocent baby" + "allow abortion for rape or incest" don't square well together, but see commonly seen together.

The "abortion is murder" crowd is against it up until it personally affects them.

I once had to dodge a punch because in an argument with someone I used to go to church with as a child, I brought up his own daughters getting pregnant as teens and him taking them 3 states over to get abortions.

Apparently "that's different and you know it"

Besides, who gives a shit whether their logic is internally consistent when they can just ask sky daddy to forgive them and they'll get into heaven no matter how many (according to them) babies they murder.

Apparently “that’s different and you know it”

This is conservative thought. Different rules for different people. In-groups to protect, out-groups to bind.

You can also see it when it's like "when I needed welfare I was down on my luck and needed help. When they needed it, they were lazy cheats"

It's poor empathy, poor reasoning, emotional dominance. They are, frankly, stupid

I absolutely love reminding my parents that they have depended on some form of socialism for my entire life

[–] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 2 points 2 hours ago

Lol, I'd say its only different if she were raped or if he knocked her up himself. Doubt that was the case (and/or that he'd admit it if it were the later).

[–] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 1 points 2 hours ago

What's extra wild to me are those who stay logically consistent through that patch; that is they believe abortion even in cases of rape and incest is still immoral and thus should be illegal.

I've got a family member with that take and I was legit speechless when she said that to me, esp since I consider her one of the more rational and compassionate members of my family.
