I'm actually surprised that it's that high too
Use this as a chance to leave your echo chamber. Illegal immigration is deeply unpopular, just like banning abortion, or firearm regulation.
@wintermute_oregon @ryathal Banning abortion beyond the first trimester is popular IIRC
@wintermute_oregon So you're an anarchist?
@wintermute_oregon My problem is when you use your own body to harm another body, like a 6 year old child, or a fetus
@wintermute_oregon We're all a lump of cells. Doesn't mean that you or I should be killed.
@wintermute_oregon I think we both support human rights, where we differ is when it comes to what is and isn't a human being
*Civil War flashbacks lol*
There's no good argument for why a fetus isn't a person that doesn't fall into either ableism or ageism, which can potentially justify killing people who have already been born. There's a reason you didn't really try to make one here.
Only mental gymnastics can justify abortion.
And there lies the actual problem. Is a fetus a person or not?
@Blamemeta Yes. A person is a living human being. Fetuses count.
Can they survive outside the womb? If the answer is no, they’re parasites, not human beings.
Sounds heartless but when it comes to the wellbeing of the mother or a parasitic clump that does not yet think or feel, the priority of care should be on the mother. Especially when her life is in danger or she cannot guarantee a good life for the child.
You may disagree, I don’t care.
