If you don’t think early term abortion is murder then why aren’t you jumping on prochoice arguments that are actively arguing that point? The first point you tried to argue with me was literally equating abortion to every “bad” thing that I listed.
Liberals: "We want abortions for leftists and black people!"
Conservatives: "We want abortions for leftists and black people!"
Liberals "That's racist!"
I don't care what your religion says, abortion is factually, scientifically the ending of a life, one of the human variety. If you want to push your own anti-science beliefs, do it elsewhere.
Bro, some people are incapable of surviving outside the womb without care from their parents well into their 40's, that doesn't mean shit and is a retarded excuse.
No one in this country is concerned about improving shit. They’re concerned about controlling people to fit into what they deem as Christian, holy and “good”. Quality of life has NEVER mattered in this fucking country and it never will. These people are sick and ignorant, and they’re more obsessed about conforming to their identity politics vs logical reasoning.
These people are more scared about a women having an abortion than the fact that the cost of living in this country has quadrupled over the last 20 years and our minimum wage is still 7.25. But noo, let’s force women to keep all the babies!! Let’s make America poor again!!
Do you believe people should get married and reproduce in pursuit of forming stable family units, and that sexuality outside of those bounds should be limited and discouraged as much as possible? If not, you cannot claim to be "concerned about improving shit," as even most liberals must grudgingly admit that a stable two-parent household produces the best life outcomes by comparison to any possible alternative.

I don't get how one can be pro-life (of the 'abortion is murder' variety) and support Russia of all places. Granted, over the past 15 years they've reduced their abortion rate to about average for Eastern bloc countries, but they were still aborting more than half of all pregnancies as recently as 2006. How can you think a nation full of people who were until very recently ok with murdering (by your definition) half their babies can be seen as a moral authority on anything.
Anyway my own position on this is pretty similar to @mensch, I don't think it's a good thing and should be kept as rare as possible, by means of contraception, encouraging formation of stable relationships before having sex, and financial support for prospective parents. However I don't view it as morally equivalent to murder, even if technically it is a form of homicide. Of course, I'm probably biased because
I personally know some people who have had abortions and cannot bring myself to think of them as murderers
But I really think 'mens rea' is of relevance here and there is a definite difference in mindset between someone who commits infanticide and someone who has an early-term abortion.
How is the homicide of a child not equivalent to murder? I guess you could argue it's even worse than "normal murder" since the victim is so utterly defenseless and innocent. Knowing people personally who partook doesn't really excuse anything. I've known at least one person who had an abortion as well (almost certainly more, statistically speaking, they just didn't tell the rest of us about it). I am sure that she did not and does not consider herself a murderer. That doesn't mean I can't recognize in the abstract the undeniable evil of the act. If one of my friends did all of a sudden commit a murder, I wouldn't retroactively decide "well now that I know someone who did it, I guess murder isn't actually all that bad after all." Peak woman logic.
This is literally a statistical/numerical truth that in a lot of cases argues against racism and sexism, and your response is to group me in as racist.
You ignored this principle the other day and then left the thread once it was pointed out. You can't pick and choose and say yes this applies for black people and then ignore it when suits your man-hating feminisy ideology. This is why people laugh at the majority of sjw logic. It's wildly inconsistent, blatantly hypocritical, and clearly used for assigning blame and finger pointing rather than constructive conversation. (yes I realize this can apply to the far right as well)
OP: Lock up all the men. Seriously, we'd have way less secret sex islands and little girls getting diddled if the men were just locked up and harvested for sperm once a quarter.
What do science and statistics say about the distribution of genders within the pedophile population?
My actual guess is that taking a sample of people who have been charged with pedophilia and gathering gender data on them, that there would be more men than women. Could be due to men in general having higher rates of sexual crimes, as well as less reporting for female sex crimes. This is different than OP's claim that all men are pedophiles, or that men are more likely to be pedophiles.
Now I wonder what it would be if we included transwomen and transmen as separate gender variable levels
“I have a hypothetical question for people who are pro life”
I’m starting to think that your pfp is a self portrait and you’re projecting your retardation on me.
Well at least you’re another example for pro choice.
You can't MAKE A CLAIM and not BACK IT UP but then expect me to debunk YOUR bullshit position.
I don't care what your religion says, abortion is factually, scientifically the ending of a life, one of the human variety. If you want to push your own anti-science beliefs, do it elsewhere.
Doesn't matter, it meets the criteria for life, get over it.
Yes, and the phrasing would indicate that the person answering is already settled that abortion is bad. Your responded to me framing a response in this way with:
I’m starting to think that your pfp is a self portrait and you’re projecting your retardation on me.

Just think about it, Joe Biden will be remembered as the president that allowed abortions to be taken away from Americans. That would've never happened under Trump.
Yes, and the phrasing would indicate that the person answering is already settled that abortion is bad. Your responded to me framing a response in this way with:
So why are you responding if you’re not pro choice?
And why would you try to equate abortion to the crimes I listed if you don’t think it’s murder?
And I told you what I was looking for, someone to respond to how they would solve or not solve that issue.
Yes I do, I posted it earlier in response to @snailslime who eventually conceded that it's life (but said she "doesn't care" and doesn't personally "consider it life"). Are you like her, you just gonna go with "idc" as your position? Lol.

Lol this thread is like moths to a flame for ErisChan
If you evangelical incels cared as much about living babies as you do fetuses, this world would be in a better spot. Instead you want to force women to give birth because you want to bring us back to the 1700s like most fundies, but once they're born you don't give a fuck about them because that requires sacrifice on your part and you'd rather be a slacktivist
