    • That's some stupid bullshit. Sister Joan Chittister is an idiot.MondoMorphic
    • Are you religious mondo?ben_
    • Pretty sure parents take care of all of that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Hayoth
    • ^ they sure as all fuck failed with your education then.face_melter
    • Pro life usually is against all those other things that parents are supposed to do.monospaced
    • I find it ironic that so many 'pro-lifers' are also 'pro gun'BaskerviIle
    • It's stupid on the grounds that life refers to life, i.e., not death. Her point that death is better than the potential of a less-than-ideal life is idiocy.MondoMorphic
    • Yes, let's kill babies just in case they might someday go to bed hungry. Excellent point. Awesome logic.MondoMorphic
    • it's abortion, not infanticide you fucking moron.face_melter
    • Moron, are the babies dead or are they alive? What's the fucking difference, idiot?MondoMorphic
    • embryo ≠ babyBaskerviIle
    • I don't care if you want to be pro or anti abortion, but you can't sanely think the moment before birth a baby is just an embryo. That's a rationalization.MondoMorphic
    • woah woah buddy - you're conflating pro-choice with advocating late term abortions. You're patently wrong (or misinformed) on her position.ben_
    • Is that intentional hyperbole? I can't imagine there are too many people who only want a child born but do not care about its subsequent well-being.SteveJobs
    • Well, republicans (and in Canada conservatives) are very keen on taking abortion rights away, but evidently NOT in favour of increasing funding to the programsben_
    • that help children in in general (not to mention those in the foster/adoption system) and their families through those issues.ben_
    • So, if you asked someone they would say "no I love children" but if you asked them to prove it, they hold up a pro-life sign.ben_
    • Ok, so they lack the follow through (for unknown reasons), but their morality probably isn't deeply lacking.SteveJobs
    • I think with sensitive matters, passive aggressive rhetoric should be used sparingly - no matter the side you support.SteveJobs
    • if you demand a child be born, but you don't demand a child be fed and housed, you are deeply morally lackingimbecile
    • then again, SteveJobs was supportive of the 70 person super spreader wedding during lockdown.imbecile
    • Yes, an opinion that's too generalized and presupposes that basically all pro-lifers want the life but don't care for its well-being. I take issue with that.SteveJobs
    • Well there's "if" in the statement which is tied to those other things. She isn't saying "pro-lifers are morally lacking"ben_
    • You taking issue doesn't make what you're taking issue with true. You're fabricating her intent by oversimplifying (or not reading).ben_
    • Perhaps. I just have a hard time believing these people exist as stated and if they do, are a very small subset of said group (I grew up around these people).SteveJobs
    • well, for instance, if you look at the mandate of Right to Life vs. the mandate of Planned Parenthood, you'll see the latter addresses all, where the formerben_
    • simply addresses abortion. I just took the two biggest ones as an example, but they represent both sides of the debate.ben_
    • There is no pro-abortion equivalent of the pro-life movement. So either you have moderate beliefs or zany religious groups it would seem. Show me otherwise?ben_
    • "You're alive, now suffer!" is the republican party battle cry if I'm not mistaken.imbecile
    • Suffer but don't die... we need your taxes. Keep the babies coming.ben_
    • + 1 "if you demand a child be born, but you don't demand a child be fed and housed, you are deeply morally lacking"Nairn
