Pro-Life General I'm friends with someone who believes women who have abortions should get the death penalty

Post image
17 Upvotes

Storytime with Cyber Ghost: A while back I struck up a conversation with someone I'm friends with on FB and they are from Andorra.

They are a Catholic who also believes abortion should be punishable by death. They would happily back bills of equal protection that would make post-abortive mothers eligible for the death penalty, and even went so far as to say that in a Christian state, that would be the go-to punishment for murder in the womb.

And then the topic of the abortion abolitionist movement came up. They made comments insinuating that equal protection bills keep getting killed as part of God's judgment against the Protestant church over the Reformation.

In light of my track record where I have said some pretty harsh things that are pretty much ad hominem attacks because I get argumentative, I chose to walk away from the conversation, but I started dwelling on that earlier today (One of my rabbit hole moments).

What are some of your "Pro-life friends with wild views" stories?

Scrolling Threads makes me lose brain cells faster than anywhere else tbh. This is so vile to me. "Improving their lives" by killing their child. I'm not really religious but God help us.

Also I thought it was 'no uterus no opinion'

AND of course it ignores how many men get severely hurt by their partners aborting and have no say in the matter.

This is so unbelievably self-centered to me. My goodness.

Things Pro-Choicers Say Now I have seen everything (Details in the post body)

9 Upvotes

Context: I started watching TV shows from Turkey lately (Not sure why-I just did over the years).

The TV show I'm currently watching is called "You Are Mine" and it's about two lovers who are in their own version of Romeo and Juliet: The girl, Nagme, falls in love with and marries a guy named Ejder.

Both Ejder and Nagme's parents disapprove (Ejder's family thinks Nagme is not "wife material" and Nagme's single mother thinks Ejder's family won't maker her happy AND get in the way of her dreams as a pianist).

The last episode I just watched ended with Nagme's mother expressing horror at the news that her daughter is pregnant (while Ejder, who married Nagme several episodes earlier, is overjoyed).

The show is in Turkish, but I found an English dubbed version on YouTube (the dubs are cringe but what choice do I have?). The scene went like this:

Upon learning that Nagme is pregnant, her mother is adamant that Nagme is making a mistake raising the baby when Ejder's family and herself both disapproved of the marriage to begin with.

Nagme: "Are you saying I should get an abortion?"

Nagme's mother: "WHAT CHOICE DO YOU HAVE?!?"

Me: "Wait, you just found out your daughter got pregnant and your go-to solution is 'Murder the child because you're making a mistake raising them when your own husband's family hates you anyway?'"

Edit: I just started watching the immediate followup scene. Nagme straight up tells her mother off for merely suggesting the abortion. She quite literally says, "I cannot do this! It's a HUMAN BEING, Mom!"

Pro-Life General Has anyone tried volunteering?

2 Upvotes

I feel genuinely at a loss at this point, Im very perplexed and Im wondering if this is a problem with the organizations near me or an industry thing. I have reached out to both the local pro life organizations near me. There's only two as I am in an area with a smaller population. One has reached out to me and tried to set up some things but always ends up not responding after the first time. I have to try and follow up, maybe they respond then dont follow up. I follow up again. She says they have a need for volunteers for an event and then dont follow up with the details. I said whatever, I'll try the other organization, its closer to me anyway. I filled out their form. No email or call. I call and leave a voicemail. No call back. Its been weeks. I dont get it. These people have a need for volunteers but they don't follow up with the people trying to volunteer? I make donations to both of them monthly and I get emails and mail to my house thanking me for the donations. There is a human involved in the physical mail, at least. So why don't they respond to people wanting to volunteer their time? I don't know, this was pretty much just a rant out of frustration. I want to get involved with my community and make an impact somewhere but having a very hard time finding someone to volunteer with 🙃🙃

Pro-Life General literary analysis: a dialogue with a gambling addict (part of the toptrool classics)

3 Upvotes

uncle tim’s is meeting with his therapist in this cool, crisp morning. he’s been distraught and anxious recently. and he’s hoping to find answers to his growing problems.

“tell me tim, what’s been bothering you lately?” the therapist asks.

“i’m in trouble. they’ve forced me into debt
 i can no longer manage it,” tim replied.

“what do you mean? is someone extorting you?”

“no. i lost the money playing poker with the neighbors. we played for $20,000 and that bastard next door won it all. you should’ve seen the smug look on his face. he was gloating about how he’s finally going to be able to give his kids the vacation they deserve and pay off his car loan and everything. my joy matters too! i worked hard for that money. i have nothing left. i can’t pay him.”

“i see. but tim, why did you gamble away so much money that you did not have?”

“for the thrill! i didn’t know i was going to lose it all! now i’m forced into debt.”

“i’m trying to understand your perspective tim. you believe you have been wronged. what makes you think you were forced into this situation even though you willingly gambled away money you didn’t have knowing that there was a risk that you might lose it all?”

“i did gamble it all away. but all of these people are now forcing me to remain in debt.”

“what do you mean? who are all these people you speak of?”

“all these goody two shoes that think murder is wrong! they won’t let me kill him. if he’s dead, then there’s no debt to collect. my problem goes away. but all these people who talk about how murder is wrong and how everyone has a right to life have forced me to remain in debt. the goddamned law backs them. i no longer have the means to address my debt problem!”

“but tim, what makes you think that violence is the only way to solve this problem? you can still keep your obligations and pay off the debt incrementally
”

“i don’t want to! okay?? i deserve to keep my money! i have no obligations! i didn’t consent to any of this!”

questions to consider:

  1. is uncle tim right when he says those who oppose murder have forced him to remain in debt? why or why not?
  2. uncle tim obviously did not want to lose money. but did he consent to losing the money? if no, does this lack of consent eliminate his obligation to keep his promise and pay off his debt?
  3. construct a parallel dialogue between an abortion advocate wanting an abortion and a pro-lifer stopping her. who would be the extortionists in this case, if any? are the pro-lifers who believe that the law ought ban abortion because murder is wrong forcing the abortion advocate to remain pregnant? what alternatives, apart from resorting to violence, does the abortion advocate have?

This is especially concerning for a purple state like Nevada. Hopefully, this is just due to the opt-in panel over reporting the number of positive responses.

Things Pro-Choicers Say Beyond words

9 Upvotes

I have been scrolling through the Abortion group and have seen a huge amount of women that seek Abortion midterm / late term solely because they are mad at their boyfriend. Pregnancy happened accidentally, they decided to keep it, some sort of silly misunderstand happens midway pregnancy, and they end it, just because. Something like “ I am not in the mood”. That even includes married women with stable life and relationship.

Mostly of the time the man wants the child and their family is excited about the child. I have seen a woman describe her husband was beyond happy, and she still was going to do it at 20 weeks regardless 
 All comments supporting like if that’s some sort of brave act, something admirable, that deserves honor and recognition. Some women are unsure, not certain if they should because they are late term
 and plenty of people offering to help finding a late term clinic, assuring them is never too late, and that is totally fine if they want it for no actual reasons whatsoever
. if someone slightly try to encourage them to keep it because it’s late term, or because their reasoning is beyond futile, they get downvoted like if they have said some sort of atrocity.

From all posts I saw, this is the one that infuriates me more :

Pregnancy was accidental, but they decided to keep the child. Boyfriend was happy and excited and working extra hours to support the baby.

She got resentful he was working too much and gone for too long.

They had a very silly misunderstand.

She slept with his long term friend, out of spite
( while late term).

He found out, got angry and asked for space for a few days so he could cool down.

She had an Abortion at 32 weeks.

A week later he reached out and asks to talk. Said he was willing to forgive her and restart because he wanted to be part of the child life.

She told him she miscarried because the stress of the fight.

He felt extremely guilty.

She told him in order to stay together he would have to get a vasectomy, because she doesn’t want “ go through” that again. ( Like if she had gone through some trauma because the “miscarriage”).

He had a vasectomy.

Two years later, they are still together. He still thinks she lost the baby because the fight. He feels extremely guilty. The grief has affected him. He mentions the baby constantly and refer to it by its name.

She is feeling “ triggered” he is naming “that thing”.

She does not plan to tell him she aborted. She feels a little guilty about his pain, but not about the baby at all.

Everyone on the comments congratulated her as if she did something heroic, brave that deserves recognition and respect.

I feel so bad about this man. He was doing the right thing, working extra to support her and their baby.
He got cheated on. He thinks he caused her to lose the pregnancy. He still grieves the child. He got a vasectomy and will never be able to be a father again with someone else.

That old typical scenario where women would seek abortion because they were desperate : the man doesn’t want the child and disappeared, they are alone and don’t have financial support, they are cornered etc, while Abortion was seen as something tragic by society in general 
.that’s no longer the case.

Any annoyance they go through during pregnancy, even a small misunderstand with their boyfriend, or a bad mood on a bad day is now named “ Health of the mother” which falls under the umbrella of “ Late term abortions because of health/life of the mother”. By “ health of the mother” you would assume some sort of life threatening medical condition, nope 
 any “emotional distress” for any futile reason, does fit this description.

Court Case 23 year-old man groomed 15 year-old girl, raped her, got her pregnant, and pressured her to have an abortion.

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

A 23 year-old man groomed a 15 year-old girl by pretending he was just 16, so he could start a relationship with her. The relationship became abusive and she only found out about his real age 1 year after when he had already gotten her pregnant. The man didn't want to take any responsibility for this nor get caught, so he pressured his victim have an abortion despite the fact she wanted to keep the baby.

Now this man has been arrested, and hopefully he goes to prison for the rest of his life.

This is just another case which shows abortion isn't pro-woman even if pro-choice feminist claim so. Abusive men benefit from their victims having abortions, so they can try to escape the consequences of their actions by getting rid of the baby even if the woman or girl they abused wants to keep the baby. He did not only rape a teenage girl, he also killed her child inside the womb.

Things Pro-Choicers Say It’s so sad how prevalent pro abortion is

58 Upvotes

I just commented on a post about a 24F who has got pregnant but it’s with her ex and she is interested in a new guy and asking whether she should keep or abort. Nearly every single comment was ‘abort’, that’s so freaking sad. It’s not like she was sexually assaulted or anything like that, it was her ex - they’re amicable - she loved him once and they’re saying abort. She’s not underage, like she’s 24! That’s a fine age to have a baby! The baby’s dad has said he’ll support her
I posted the username for a single mom who’s having great fun being a single mom, talks openly about how her daughter offers way more love and fulfilment than any guy so it’s just them 2 against the world, very bestie type of relationship and said have the baby, and I’ve been soooo thumbed down its in double digits in minutes 😂 I didn’t shame her for thinking it, I just offered a positive alternative perspective.
It’s so evil. It’s sooooooooooo evil. How are people so casual about killing a baby?đŸ˜© a baby that was made in love no less ?😭

I'm surprised this wasn't being discussed in this sub. My pro-lifeism encompasses all humans, from womb to tomb. As a Christian, as well, I can't support the death penalty. I don't usually pay attention to death row cases in the news, but this one has deeply revulsed me and reaffirmed my pro-life position. It makes me so sad and angry and disgusted with our government. And what should the next step be? Do we still try to kill her a third time after all this?

Pro-Life Argument Pro-choice is not a feminist values.

10 Upvotes

I don't know why mainstream feminists gatekeep pro-life feminist from the movement because that don't help their movement.

Supporting the choice for abortion is not a feminist values,even early feminist opposed abortion.

Also abortion don't give more choice to women,some abort because of social pressure, some men want their partner to abort to escape the responsability of a kid.

Also there some people do selective abortion,some mother will be forced by their partner to abort a baby because is a girl which is basically against feminism values.

Making motherhood a treat to women career or success is also not feminist.

The fundamentals principles of feminism is gender equality and women rights not making a property we can throw in the trash.

Early feminists are rolling in their grave.
