Be Me, 20 years old. Psych Major. Rocking the blue hair (and would totally do it again, fyi....)
Get red pilled after the election in 2016 (I didn’t vote.) Lurk on the Donald, start seeing the bullshit the mainstream media censors Get somewhat alienated by very well meaning but brainwashed loved ones. You know, the ones who honestly want the best for humanity and have been brainwashed by the commies. Obtain Trauma. Go to counseling, etc to try to process/bury feelings about this. Stuff them deep down and try to move on.
Be Me in 2020. 24. The world is on fire. Person in my life gets red pilled. Person starts sending me red-pilly stuff. Feelings re-surface. See how badly America looks like it’s falling to globalism and communism
Fuck it. See you fuckers in November.
Is an astronaut not viable without a space suit?
Of course not.
Though a bit of a non sequitur, I do understand your point. This doesn’t need to devolve into a discussion of purity tests though.
My point is this; in terms of realistic expectations, this is what we can expect to get from legislation, per our current routes of affecting change.
Take roe v wade for instance. If we are able to overturn roe v wade, abortions won’t become illegal in the US. Decisions of legality just get going passed down to the state level.
Im talking about this in terms of practicality and what we can reliably expect. If we want to see change, we can’t be willfully ignorant of this fact.
Tbh I’ll say I don’t think Plan B should illegal. Also, though I’ve gone back and forth on this a lot, I don’t think 1st term abortions should be illegal either.
Currently, I loathe how abortions are seen as birth control now on the left. And it’s clearly being fetishized by the more extreme progressives too.
If we hope to change any of this shit though, the argument against abortions has to start from a stance that is articulated outside of religious context.
Liberals will never accept any argument or viewpoint we make if it based around Christianity or religious texts, in general. It means fuck all nothing to them.
Abortions past the age of viability IMO, and from a medical standpoint, is an ignorant and immoral thing to support. You are effectively killing a baby but calling it an abortion because the baby is inside, instead of outside the womb.
There are other arguments for earlier restrictions, but they are not nearly as strong.
Sorry for the long winded essay-length response but hopefully it clears up what I mean. My point obviously is not to change anyone’s mind that abortion is okay at any stage. It’s to show that there is a pretty damn good chance that we can prevent late-term and potentially mid-term abortions in the US. Idk, that’s just a way I think we could convince people to a more pro-life view.
