The NationStates Feminism Thread IV: Fight Like A Girl!

[New haven america]

Agreed. Nor do I understand how "people who are pro-life should care about children after they are born too" is not a valid argument.

People who are pro-life do care about people after they're born.

No the majority do not.

Once that kid is born their seen as a worthless leech stealing from welfare.

And exactly why shouldn't we house the homeless?

We probably should, though, in some instances, housing them isn't sufficient to address their issues. A lot of homeless people should probably be committed to mental institutions or rehabilitation programs so that they're able to function in society and maintain their health and well-being. Beyond that, creating social connections and developing marketable skills would be great too.

So... You want to house the homeless is what you're saying.

[The Black Forrest]

Cool. Now all these people are going to step forward and help raise these unwanted children right? Hello? Hello? Anybody? Hellllooooooo?

I never got this line of argument. If someone believes life begins at conception this is like arguing we should either buy everyone houses or euthanize the homeless.

I am sure you thought you had a whip zinger of an argument in there. The problem? Nobody suggested either. You might want to go back and think about it.

[Sungoldy-China]

Fertility is nothing more than a conspiracy that genes use to control living things.
Abortion and infertility are the first steps to unravel the conspiracy.
If humans cannot get rid of this conspiracy through senses and technology,
Then human beings should follow the laws of nature and go to extinction like other extinct creatures.

We used to have them. St. Reagan closed them down as it was better for them. Privatization would solve it afterall. Many ended up going homeless.

You sure do post of the “interesting” stuff on here, I’ll give you that.

I mean I've never really stated otherwise, have I?

[Suriyanakhon]

Agreed. Nor do I understand how "people who are pro-life should care about children after they are born too" is not a valid argument.

People who are pro-life do care about people after they're born.

I doubt that the Republicans who've constantly mocked single mothers and teenage mothers really care about life.

[Istoreya]

As I said, you don't have to give someone the run of your house if you support not murdering them.

Absolutely no-one is suggesting that one specific pro-life person must adopt a baby born to a mother who wanted an abortion. That's a ridiculous suggestion.

We're saying that there's no way you can be truly pro-life when you're okay with a baby being born into a sucky life because of the situation the mother was left in having to carry a pregnancy she didn't want. Single and teen mothers face nothing but ridicule from people who are supposedly "pro-life".

They don't support the not-murder of a baby if they don't care about that babies' wellbeing post-birth. Someone who wants to ban meat-eating doesn't let animal abuse slide just because it's not murder. Someone who did think that way would not be truly pro-animal rights. Instead, the only thing they want changed is the diet of other people. A person who thinks like that is pro-control-of-others. Just like most pro-life people are actually pro-control-of-others in the form of believing they should be allowed to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body.

There is no way I am going to try and look at the argument from the perspective of a person who thinks that way. Someone who genuinely wants better support post-birth, sure, then we'll talk.

What the fuck are you talking about? Are you suggesting that anyone who doesn't believe in welfare must support killing the poor?

People who are pro-life do care about people after they're born.

Which is why the pro life party is also the pro cut welfare party, right?

I think alot of pro life people are just trying to maximize human suffering fr.

I mean they basically do. It's like saying "are you suggesting people who don't believe in life vests support letting people drown?"

In the case of American pro lifers I think it's less 'Iet's cause human suffering' and more 'let's punish people for having unprotected sex with making them have children because that's what the Bible says!!!'

There's a methodical logic to it.

Well, you're mistaken. I can't speak for the ideological composition of the Republican Party but the question that you're asking is more historical than purely ideological. Reagan appealed to Evangelicals through rhetoric in the late 70s and early 80s. Also, Pro-life Democrats exist, myself for example.

You're pro life because every position you hold is essentially determined by Rome.

I'm not wrong though am I? You practically take orders from the Church.

Please don't mention the evangelicals. Most of them voted for Trump, and those who did lost any right to complain about how "immoral" america is.

"Are you suggesting that people who don't support providing people with access to food think it's okay to let people starve?" Yes that's exactly what I'm suggesting.

[Sundiata]

Come on man.

I'm not wrong though am I? You practically take orders from the Church.

Well, let's say that's true. The church itself doesn't arbitrarily hold the position it does on abortion, specifically the belief that life begins at conception.

Well, please don't lump all people who are pro-life with that political party.

Fine, then let it live outside the woman's body.

I mean, homeless people are dieing because of exposure to the elements. This is essentially the same.

Btw there is an abortion thread.
