Answering Any Questions People Have

Wtf does a fetus do for society besides wait to become a person? Their only social connection is their parents and the parents don't want them.

You can be against abortion, but it is definitely not the same as murder.

Edit: I keep running into these arguments so I'm putting caveats

1. I do not follow Christianity.

2. The disabled, unemployed, homeless are still a part of society. The only people I can think of with 0 connections are like dumpster babies, who are going to die of exposure without help. Yeah, you could probably get away with killing it legally, given no one knows about it besides the person who put it there. I wouldn't recommend it though personally.

3. Existing IS contributing to society, because again, humans are a social species. The only connection is to the mother / parent, and they don't want it.

4. I didn't say anything about biology. It could be biological murder, but it doesn't have the same social ramifications as murder, unless you believe all ovulation and male completion is murder, given those are also potential people.

5. ALSO: if you're forcing people to have children for God, you're forcing people to glorify your own God, which is weird.

For example, a newborn doesn't serve any purpose but existing either. Their only connection is to their parents as well, and if their parents don't want them, it doesn't make it moral to kill them then. How has their value changed? Even if adoption were completely off the table, it would be immoral to kill them, and even with adoption, I think point 3 could be extrapolated to include killing them as another choice on the table.

I also don't think it's fair to say that a fetus or neonate's only connection is to their mother, but I agree that that particular connection is the strongest and most basic

Is killing itself not also harm? If it's wrong to harm someone emotionally then surely it's also wrong to harm them physically, right?

“Did you know the Forbidden Fruit wasn’t really an apple? That depictions of the fruit as apples only came about because it was a pun on the Latin word “mala?”“ “Yeah we’re aware,”

“Did you know that Jesus wasn’t white? That He was a brown Middle-Eastern Israeli Jew?” “We learned this in CCD class at age 5,”

“Did you know The Prince of Egypt is a Jewish story?” “We know what the Old Testament is and where Christianity originated, so…”

if an actual christian speak up about this, you’ll ignore them, because clearly they only have brainwashed sheeple in their ranks. but will you listen to me? someone who was taught since young that it was normal to treat my christian neighbors like they were evil spies of the western world? someone who was taught that christianity and judaism were the same thing simply because those were not islam?

you see i made a post before talking about the danger of treating christianity as the ultimate evil. in it i also discussed the kind of terror christian minority has faced that westerners are definitely not familiar with

somehow in the reply there are still people who say “remember, christianity is a curse but–” to support my point of view

i don’t appreciate that.

i talked about christians being bombed, about how there are still many places in this world that prevent christians from building churches even in this era, and even provided links for it. yet somehow, your personal experience with christianity, the one where you got hurt, is the only experience that could possibly define christianity

“Well I’m from Texas, so I’ll use a gun.”

“It’s my right to have a gun.”

Really?? Would you be able to say that in front of families and friends who lost their loved ones to shootings from home, school, clubs, mall, movie theater, etc.?

You may support for your right to bear arms, but I’m fighting for someone’s right to life.

Nobody would compare an exquisitely prepared seven course meal to my bowl of easy Mac and say they are of equal quality. Yet individuals with no training in the content or in teaching claim to be qualified teachers, and just as good as the teachers in the classroom who have worked their asses off for years developing their craft and working on ways to help our students succeed.

And that isn’t even touching the teachers unions, or the hard fact that their “years of developing their craft” has routinely resulted in TERRIBLE policy for education, or have we all forgotten about Common Core?

Yes, they are.

They’re also things literally anyone can do, whether they meet an arbitrary standard or not.

>and this comparison just shows the lack of respect that this country has for educators.

I love your snuck premise that only people with Proper Qualifications™ are Real Educators™. You know homeschooling still has to meet standards, right?

>Nobody would compare an exquisitely prepared seven course meal to my bowl of easy Mac and say they are of equal quality.

This discussion wasn’t really about the quality of the end product.

It’s about someone trying to stereotype homeschool teachers as bigoted, incompetent right-wingers, using quality as a fig leaf.

Also, public schools are notoriously bad at educating kids.

> Yet individuals with no training in the content or in teaching claim to be qualified teachers, and just as good as the teachers in the classroom who have worked their asses off for years developing their craft and working on ways to help our students succeed.

And how exactly would you prove them wrong? Because you…you haven’t actually done that. You haven’t proven the homeschoolers can’t work hard. Sometimes they literally are “qualified” teachers.

You’ve just stamped your feet and gone “no, us real teachers are BETTER!”

All Conservative Ideology is fundamentally Eugenicist- viewing all people as "Breeding Stock", thinking that "good" people can be bred like livestock. They dehumanize everyone- especially children- because we have become Products not people.

This is why Eugenicists so vehemently appose Individual Abortion Rights- Reproductive Bodily Autonomy is the ultimate sin under Eugenics. The choice is not the parent's but the State's.

Queer children- like Queer parents- are an "evil" in the eyes of a Eugenicist, because they will not be made "Stock" for their project of making "perfect" people.
