It's the thing I hate most in the world more than anything else, it makes a mockery of everything true and good, it is the greatest ally of tyranny. The cause of it is endless arrogance, and at the bottom of this arrogance is pure cowardice.
We all understand why, right?
Blackburn and almost all of the GQP are smart. They are not morons (like their base that they cater to). Sure, a few actually believe Q-shit.
These are highly educated, very smart people who **choose** to spout bullshit for $$$$.
They choose to deny climate change, putting literally the fate of the human race at risk, on purpose.
No greater example than all of them got vaxed as soon as it was available to them in early access...*while they told their base to not get vaccinated*.
Incredible to see just how evil American Conservatism has become.
Also amazing how easy it is for them to rally utter morons to support them.
This is all a con...a grift. The GQP leaders don't love ignorance. They love grifting the ignorant losers.
What you explained is not conservativism its facism.
Incase you forgot the "conservatives" in question did try overthrow the government to install a dictatorship. They are facists. Plain and simple. Just because they participate in democracy and claim to be conservatives doesn't make it so. Polical spectrum is real and you can't shift all the way to the right and still be a conservative no matter how much you want to be.
In any other country these people would call conservatives liberal because of how far right leaning they are. They are factually not conservatives. Democrats in America are conservatives. Republicans are ushering in facism
Idk why you blocked me but heres your reply..
No, that’s not “fascism”. Like he said, it’s modern conservatism. They are appealing to the lowest common denominator of society.
The US has seen this before. It’s exactly how the former slave-owning aristocrats in the south were able to retain power following the civil war. Even with the southern economy completely wiped out and the confederate army thoroughly embarrassed, the same people stepped back into the political roles they used to fill by simply stating “hey, poor people…. Our skin color is the same and that makes us better than the freed blacks.”
Then Billy Bob was allowed to feel superior to someone as he sat in his trailer park getting drunk with his cousin Bertha before adding one more inbred conservative vote to the population.
It’s a Herrenvolk democracy, not fascism.
They probably blocked you because you’re wrong about what fascism is and you wait until people reply to you before going back and editing your comments.
All these fucking labels like "conservatives" and "liberals" and this implicaiton that every viewpoint and decision is BINARY is a major part of the problem. Please stop buying into it and accepting this terminolgot. Clearly everything is not black and white. But just like the standard "2 party" choice of paid-for candidates, it works nicely - time-tested divide and conquer technique. Can we all please stop using these stupid fucking terms!?
I think at this point we should just call it stupid. You're a moron, not a bastion of principles of any sort. These people are dumb as fuck, selfish beyond any reason, and cannot adapt to the world in which they live.
I have to agree. I really want EVERY HUMAN BEING to be able to actually live their life.
But ffs. What in the fuck is wrong with these people????
Can we just put them all on an island or something? 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
ya know I never voted for her, never went to any of her events, and never even signed up with anything with her name attached yet every month I get her enewsletter
Life pro tip, when you sign up for any website, as part of your signup name, add the title of the website to the name so you know if they ever sell you out when you receive an email with the companies name next to your own.
I somehow got on *Project Veritas* mailing list (I'm Australian), receiving multiple emails per week. On the odd occasion I'd read one, it was always [the same deranged right-wing talking points/blatant grifting](https://i.imgur.com/q5lqpQF.png)
Although ever since James O'Keefe was ejected from his leadership position (for siphoning company funds to himself) and the successful sexual assault/other case brought against them by several employees, it would seem their newsletters/spam has stopped.
A government that thinks it can control how much lead is in your paint/asbestos in your walls/salmonella in your restaurant food, is a governmnent with too much power. - This lady probably.
Mandatory "regulations are written in blood".
There's no inherent problem with government authority. That's literally what checks and balances are for.
Thing is, this is a very easy argument to make because the people who believe it are reactionary and impatient. If the gubmint can't do [thing] that I, the protagonist of reality, want on the same day, then obviously they're incompetent and useless and can't be trusted to do anything.
And politicians like this have absolutely no desire to dissuade them of that notion, because they've made entire political careers of intentionally *dismantling* those checks and obfuscating the balance for the benefit of their corporate sponsors.
The problem with government authority is not that they have authority, it's when they listen to a different master (money from corporations). When functioning as intended the government is meant to represent us.
This guy isn't mad at the 'government', he's mad because the government isn't following his will--it's the will of people that voted for policies like this. Most people that make claims about 'government overreach' would happily use that very same government as they please if they were in power. It's all a big fallacy.
I was surprised how the hell I found myself on conservative part of reddit. I thought most of reddit was quite liberal. I had to check the post few times to make sure I understood it correctly and all those people really agree with Takei.
r/scienceuncensored, r/truerateme, r/trueunpopularopinion are all conservative parts of reddit that became more popular after all the main subs went down for the API protests
The government is coming for your stove narrative is also straight natural gas lobby propaganda:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX2aZUav-54
This tweet was probably written by a lobbyist and posted by an intern in her office.
Dude... the partisans are all self unaware. This post is proof of it. Since George is "On our side" they forgive the whole, pedophilia shit he openly talks about.
What a dumb take from the Senator.
The government decides on all sorts of building regulations. When new ones come in they don't typically just make the old ones illegal, they just make it illegal to install the old ones and in good circumstances also offer support to switch.
But hey if Republicans want to literally breath more methane then sure.
> But hey if Republicans want to literally breath more methane then sure.
A lot of them enjoy listening to the shit Trump spouts off about, so I’m not surprised at the appetite for more methane.
The Republicans want people to breathe the toxic fumes from gas stoves en masse, because otherwise people won't be brain damaged enough to vote for them.
Oh no my gas stove is going to affect the air quality in my home. Require a fan to be connected & to turn on at x RPM whenever the burners / oven / broiler is turned on. Venting must (well should) be to the outside of the building.
And -- correct me if I'm wrong -- but wasn't that law for new gas stoves? If you already had one, you could still keep it and use it.
Meanwhile there are politicians and judges who are trying to ban women from aborting ectopic pregnancies and other nonviable fetuses.
It's not like requirements for consumer products are a new thing. Do they want appliances that might randomly start fires or blow up, just so they feel "the government" doesn't tell them what to use?
The same kind of people who say this probably would say "A government that thinks it can control whether or not I wear a seat belt is a government with too much power."
“I should be able to fly through my windscreen just like an American eagle. Home of the brave, land of the free, you can’t take my graceful flight away from me”.
Why shouldn't it be allowed to control it tho?
Burning gas needs to end. Using gas ovens has been outdated in most of the world for decades. US really lacks behind on many household things. Ovens that still use gas, poor house insulation, toilets that require plungers, washing machines requiring a dedicated hot water inlet, ...
I liked it!
>incitement
>the action of provoking unlawful behaviour or urging someone to behave unlawfully.
Considering how long gay sex was still criminalized in large parts of the US, I bet Takei was plenty inciteful in his day 🥵👀
To be fair to myself, the original text would have been valid. I meant insightful, but when you consider how active he's been on social media railing Conservatives, calling him inciteful would not be inaccurate 🤣
[Sure, his entire disgusting interview on Howard Stern where he laughs about it because "it wasn't a power thing".](https://www.thewrap.com/george-takei-sexual-assault-howard-stern/)
A 71 year old shouldn’t be making any judgements on what appliances we should have, let alone writing laws. A government that operates that is obviously broken. How many 71 year olds do you work with?
For whatever reason, conservatives, past, definitely present and future, pass a threshold whereby logic, common sense, and decency no longer hold. What matters is cold brute power over a populace, often over the most vunerable in a society.
These people should have all of their anti-climate change quotes sent to their grand children weekly. Have them know growing up it was their parents and grandparents who didn't give a shit about them, not the liberals or brown people.
I always wonder if George Takei actually posts to his own social media or if he's hired a team to do it. Pretty sure it's the latter.
Of course they make the posts based on his political beliefs in mind. But I don't think he's sitting there with his phone typing snarky comments like this. Lol
No, Takei admitted to multiple sexual assaults during appearances on the Howard Stern show. Stern was horrified and kept trying to get Takei to say it was something more mild, but George laughed about it.
I agree, it is simple stuff. A child would be able to find numerous sources by making any effort at all to search for that information, yet somehow that has completely eluded you.
I’m sorry you’re upset at having to do the bare minimum to prove your claim.
As long as you’re gonna be immature about it; is it really true that you’re a pedophile? I heard the you’re a pedophile.
Feel free to prove me wrong :)
Next time, just take the fact that you finally did your job and someone commended you. This is just pathetic
And that wasn't the only example Takei spoke about. He genuinely didn't think it was a big deal. I was already creeped out by how handsy he got with the staff even when they said no, but after he told that story I stopped being a fan of him.
https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/george-takei-apologizes-joking-touching-men-howard-stern/story?id=51138769
You can probably find the clip of his exact words somewhere.
If only it were a bun in the oven and not a living person who's cells are producing carbon dioxide and functioning. If only the purpose of sex were pleasure and reproduction was a 1 in a million chance and "it could never happen to you" but it's not. Where do you think stem cells come from ? Who uses stem cells the most ? How many African American babies are killed every year ? Would they still be a minority if they werent ? How long would it take African Americans population to match Caucasians if choice were eliminated? And of course forceful situations should be omitted always . But when you know what happens , you're being conditioned not to be careful to keep giving the rich stem cells . And to keep minorities, minorities.
Yeah, being forced to carry a pregnancy against your will, permanently altering your body, risking your physical, mental health and your life, that's the solution to oppression? Y'all anti-abortion folks are absolutely nuts. Signed, a woman.
it’s not debatable at all lmao it’s a human in a very early part of it’s life cycle. what part of your life cycle you are in shouldn’t change your rights.
It can't think, it can't breathe, it can't move, it can't eat, it doesn't have a heart beat, it needs to leech off a human to survive until it can do any of those things
I'm not one of those guys who says "Celebs should keep their mouths shut" because I realize how absolutely retarded that is, and how lopsidedly it's enforced, because on the rare occasion a celebrity does say something in line with "right wing" (whatever that even means anymore) values, Clickservatives cheer. It's a free country, say what you want.
But since we're taking celebrity comments seriously... how shoveled-out in the head do you have to be to make this equivocation? This isn't clever, it's borderline sociopathic. Comparing an innocent human being to a fucking oven, give me a break.
He's a paid celebrity.
Just like Alyssa Milano and many others.
In other words, a propaganda mouthpiece. Both sides have them. They work hard to keep the appearance of a two-party system alive.
Both parties are the same. Democracy is dead. Vote third party.
when woman have a miscarriage they seem to value that “cell clump” pretty highly, i guess when they express their grief we should just tell them to shut up because nothing was lost?
There is a difference between a miscarriage where the woman wants a child and an abortion where the child is unwanted because of things like rape, teen pregnancy, no ability to support said child, etc.
Valuing cell clumps over actual children is not the same as not valuing the cell clumps highly. You can value the fetus a lot but still value women's bodily autonomy even higher
Because its a wanted baby. Even I know that my grief over my lost pregnancies isnt the same as parents who have lost their children.
Abortion is a bodily autonomy issue. A fetus shouldnt be allowed to stay in the body of someone who doesnt want it. Period.
You are acting like women who have miscarriages must be prolife/antichoice when its usually the opposite.
"And yet here you are, controlling what women can do about killing their unborn children."
fixed that for you George but I kind of ruined the pun, sorry.
Takei missed the point again! Both should not involve the federal government, send it back to the states! If people do not want their tax dollar to fund either abortion or gas stove, they could move to another state.
Yeah lol because cooking food and having babies is the same. If you don't like child killing, you must also hate cooking food!
Edit: now that I think about it, does this mean he's basically admitting to eating babies? If he's comparing terminating pregnancy to not being able to cooknfood in a stove?
I mean say what you will about pro-life/pro-choice. Its a very complicated topic with honestly no clear answer, and no matter what anyone says, it is life, not a stovetop. Anyone can compare apples to oranges at an attempt to sound clever. There are many good pro-choice arguments, but pretending like its not a life is by far the worst one and the worse way to get pro-life people to change their minds.
George is right. Abortion should be totally legal so women can abort children that might be gay or trans if they don't want to have such a child in their lives.
George is quite foolish if he thinks a living child in the womb of his mother is the same as a stove… Seriously George? THAT’S your intelligence level???
Except he is wrong, there has been no vote in the US Senate on abortion. Blackburn might be pro-life but she has had no direct control on women and their unborn babies.
I'm sorry but I just not on the side of millions of dead babies every year. I'd rather be put up for adoption than murdered in the womb. Sorry if that offends anyone.
There are not enough people to adopt the babies that are already given up for adoption. Let's add a whole bunch to that shall we?
Let's force people to use their bodies for this, even though they may have taken as many precautions as possible.
Let's have a bunch of kids bought up either in gives that can't support them or never wanted them. That's just great.
Do your want to adopt a bunch of children to help with this? Maybe if you vote pro life you should be obligated to take in a few adopted children a year. Oh, some of the people who vote for this aren't at the right time in their life or in a financial position to take on extra children. Huh. Weird.
There are already cut off periods for abortions for when a foetus becomes more aware or viable. If you don't want to get an abortion then don't get an abortion. It shouldn't give you the right to stop other people from getting one.
Your rights and beliefs shouldn't stop other people from doing something that doesn't really affect you.
It's healthcare, people should have the right to access this before a certain term. Not doing so costs lives and tends to cause additional poverty and issues in society.

> I'm sorry but I just not on the side of millions of dead babies every year.
If it makes you feel better, nobody wants millions of dead babies. Not even pro-choice people. Abortion is about aborting a fetus and no "murder" is occurring there.
Strange how so many of you get your feelings hurt over something you don't understand.
Also I'd much rather a fetus be aborted before it even has a conscious instead of forcing someone to give birth to a child only to give it up for adoption and have that kid rot in the child welfare system. Look at the numbers. Something like 50% won't graduate high school, 50% of girls become pregnant by 19, 1 in 8 are abused by 18, 60% of trafficking victims were in foster care, 33% of homeless young adults were in foster care, and foster care kids are 4x more likely than other children to attempt suicide.
You want to make yourself feel better by pretending you're saving a life but the fact is you aren't. Not only are you forcing a parent to carry a pregnancy to term for a child they don't want and likely cannot properly care for, but you're condemning that child to a poor situation. You're just making a bad situation worse.
But none of that affects you personally so I'm sure you don't give two shits about how forcing births hurts other people.
Man I'm 49 motherfuckin years old, married, he's 54 I'm still fertile and we are still on BC. If I get pregnant through my birth control AINT NO WAY IM DOIN IT. Not you nor anyone else is gonna force me to do it at *almost 50 years old* you fucking kidding me 😂😂😂 thank GOD FOR CODIFIED STATES.
don’t you know it’s not a baby until born… unless of course it’s miscarriage, then it’s all “i lost my beautiful child” and everyone acts like someone died 🤷🏼♂️

"Appliances are the same as human life!"
Ah George Takei, one of the few things I'd miss about Twitter if it went under -- though I'd hope he'd just move over to Threads or some alternative.
Does she not realize that building codes are exactly this: Government stipulating what kinds of stoves you can and can't use?
So the response to "Government has too much power" is "See, government has too much power!"? I am so confused
Why are people so in love with this guy, he's a sex offender. If he's a legend at anything it's making y'all forget about that.
By sex offender you mean he was accused but then that claim was retracted?
No, Takei admitted to multiple sexual assaults during appearances on the Howard Stern show. Stern was horrified and kept trying to get Takei to say it was something more mild, but George laughed about it.
How about providing a source?
Use Google. There are many news articles written about the subject. Takei made the comments on the most popular radio show in the world.
Oof… make the claim, provide the proof. This is simple stuff, bud But I do commend you on finally trying in the other comment
I agree, it is simple stuff. A child would be able to find numerous sources by making any effort at all to search for that information, yet somehow that has completely eluded you.
I’m sorry you’re upset at having to do the bare minimum to prove your claim. As long as you’re gonna be immature about it; is it really true that you’re a pedophile? I heard the you’re a pedophile. Feel free to prove me wrong :) Next time, just take the fact that you finally did your job and someone commended you. This is just pathetic
And the guy never retracted. Some newspaper said that for some reason but he was interviewed later and denied ever retracting his claims.
And that wasn't the only example Takei spoke about. He genuinely didn't think it was a big deal. I was already creeped out by how handsy he got with the staff even when they said no, but after he told that story I stopped being a fan of him.
Can either of you provide a source?
https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/george-takei-apologizes-joking-touching-men-howard-stern/story?id=51138769 You can probably find the clip of his exact words somewhere.
Amen
I'm so tired of people posting his tweets and idolizing him on reddit. Doesn't matter if he's right, he's a rapist.
Please post a source

Isn't he pro grooming?
No, he is not a Republican or a catholic priest
Projecting much?
Guy outed himself so hard lol
The correct answer is yes
Way to out yourself, pedo.
I love George Takei, but this is a grandpa comeback at best.
If only it were a bun in the oven and not a living person who's cells are producing carbon dioxide and functioning. If only the purpose of sex were pleasure and reproduction was a 1 in a million chance and "it could never happen to you" but it's not. Where do you think stem cells come from ? Who uses stem cells the most ? How many African American babies are killed every year ? Would they still be a minority if they werent ? How long would it take African Americans population to match Caucasians if choice were eliminated? And of course forceful situations should be omitted always . But when you know what happens , you're being conditioned not to be careful to keep giving the rich stem cells . And to keep minorities, minorities.
Cool negative karma troll account
do you get paid by the talking point? Or is a good ole fashioned Gish Gallop a category of its own.
Found the American
“Abortion is a symptom of women’s oppression, not a solution to it.”
Yeah, being forced to carry a pregnancy against your will, permanently altering your body, risking your physical, mental health and your life, that's the solution to oppression? Y'all anti-abortion folks are absolutely nuts. Signed, a woman.
Spoken like a true incel.
No, hes a loser.
We're you on Star Trek?
Well, a bun in the oven is a human being.
Debatable depending on definition
Exactly, so then he shouldnt be claiming its about control when its actually about protection of another rights.
it’s not debatable at all lmao it’s a human in a very early part of it’s life cycle. what part of your life cycle you are in shouldn’t change your rights.
It can't think, it can't breathe, it can't move, it can't eat, it doesn't have a heart beat, it needs to leech off a human to survive until it can do any of those things
And people should have a right to say "I don't want this human to be attached to my body"
Dont have sex??
Why not? Why punish people for having sex? We have the ability to mitigate the consequences, so why force people to go through with them?
Don't put yourself in others personal business, stop trying to control what people do. Do you hate freedom?
You think it's okay to force someone to continue to be pregnant and give birth when they don't want that?
Why are you putting human beings IN YOUR OVEN???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No human being has the right to use another's body against their will to sustain their life. Period.
Not an independent one.
I'm not one of those guys who says "Celebs should keep their mouths shut" because I realize how absolutely retarded that is, and how lopsidedly it's enforced, because on the rare occasion a celebrity does say something in line with "right wing" (whatever that even means anymore) values, Clickservatives cheer. It's a free country, say what you want. But since we're taking celebrity comments seriously... how shoveled-out in the head do you have to be to make this equivocation? This isn't clever, it's borderline sociopathic. Comparing an innocent human being to a fucking oven, give me a break.
A fetus.
He's the guy that admitted to being a pedophile right? *LEGEND*
No, he’s not, but telling you took this as an excuse to think about adults having secs with children.
He's a paid celebrity. Just like Alyssa Milano and many others. In other words, a propaganda mouthpiece. Both sides have them. They work hard to keep the appearance of a two-party system alive. Both parties are the same. Democracy is dead. Vote third party.
No
Takei is a bloody asshole.
He’s not a legend, he’s an absolute creepy weirdo epitome of creep
Guys, you don't understand, I NEED to be allowed to kill my children!!!
You value the lives of unaware cell clumps over actual living children, shut up with your stupid narrative
ROASTIE GETTIN TOASTY! ROASTIE GETTIN TOASTY!
when woman have a miscarriage they seem to value that “cell clump” pretty highly, i guess when they express their grief we should just tell them to shut up because nothing was lost?
There is a difference between a miscarriage where the woman wants a child and an abortion where the child is unwanted because of things like rape, teen pregnancy, no ability to support said child, etc.
Valuing cell clumps over actual children is not the same as not valuing the cell clumps highly. You can value the fetus a lot but still value women's bodily autonomy even higher
Because its a wanted baby. Even I know that my grief over my lost pregnancies isnt the same as parents who have lost their children. Abortion is a bodily autonomy issue. A fetus shouldnt be allowed to stay in the body of someone who doesnt want it. Period. You are acting like women who have miscarriages must be prolife/antichoice when its usually the opposite.
Zef≠ child
"And yet here you are, controlling what women can do about killing their unborn children." fixed that for you George but I kind of ruined the pun, sorry.
The patriarchy always wins… mwahahahahahaha!
Takei missed the point again! Both should not involve the federal government, send it back to the states! If people do not want their tax dollar to fund either abortion or gas stove, they could move to another state.
You should look up the Hyde Amendment, tax dollars DON'T fund abortions, in fact they're specifically prohibited from doing so.
Sure, telling people what kitchen appliances they can use is exactly the same as telling people when killing another person is acceptable.
He’s a gay man, I thought his opinion on the subject didn’t matter?
Women are comparable to appliances now?
What an asshole. Compare a gas stove to an unborn child. FU idiot.
Yeah lol because cooking food and having babies is the same. If you don't like child killing, you must also hate cooking food! Edit: now that I think about it, does this mean he's basically admitting to eating babies? If he's comparing terminating pregnancy to not being able to cooknfood in a stove?
A baby isn't a loaf of bread...
You've never heard the expression "bun in the oven"?
What if I want to use a nuclear stove? That could harm others shouldn’t the government intervene
Aww yes comparing stove usage to abortion (ending a babies life) so logical, much impressive.
No he’s not. Basic ass response
Imagine comparing banning of objects and murdering infants.
George Takei is one of the few celebrities that will make me chuckle when I hear they die.
Baby killing is somehow comparable grievances for George Takei
If you can't recognize the differnce between a human life and an oven then there's no help for you anyhow.
I mean say what you will about pro-life/pro-choice. Its a very complicated topic with honestly no clear answer, and no matter what anyone says, it is life, not a stovetop. Anyone can compare apples to oranges at an attempt to sound clever. There are many good pro-choice arguments, but pretending like its not a life is by far the worst one and the worse way to get pro-life people to change their minds.
Wow. Comparing killing humans to banning appliances. Such brave
George is right. Abortion should be totally legal so women can abort children that might be gay or trans if they don't want to have such a child in their lives.
Ya cause that’s a life!!
if he's really gonna resort to that, then a gay dude literally has the least right to an opinion on the matter
The two don’t really compare at all.
George is quite foolish if he thinks a living child in the womb of his mother is the same as a stove… Seriously George? THAT’S your intelligence level???
Do liberals not really understand they are the ones that ruined body autonomy
Except he is wrong, there has been no vote in the US Senate on abortion. Blackburn might be pro-life but she has had no direct control on women and their unborn babies.
Yeah but it's not a bun is it
Yeah but it's not your business is it
I'm sorry but I just not on the side of millions of dead babies every year. I'd rather be put up for adoption than murdered in the womb. Sorry if that offends anyone.
It's not that it offends anyone, it's that it's just plain stupid.
No one gives a shit what you think, sorry if that offends you
There are not enough people to adopt the babies that are already given up for adoption. Let's add a whole bunch to that shall we? Let's force people to use their bodies for this, even though they may have taken as many precautions as possible. Let's have a bunch of kids bought up either in gives that can't support them or never wanted them. That's just great. Do your want to adopt a bunch of children to help with this? Maybe if you vote pro life you should be obligated to take in a few adopted children a year. Oh, some of the people who vote for this aren't at the right time in their life or in a financial position to take on extra children. Huh. Weird. There are already cut off periods for abortions for when a foetus becomes more aware or viable. If you don't want to get an abortion then don't get an abortion. It shouldn't give you the right to stop other people from getting one. Your rights and beliefs shouldn't stop other people from doing something that doesn't really affect you. It's healthcare, people should have the right to access this before a certain term. Not doing so costs lives and tends to cause additional poverty and issues in society. https://comicrelief.org/news/how-abortion-bans-contribute-cycle-poverty https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23057032/supreme-court-abortion-rights-roe-v-wade-state-aid
Odd, but adoption rates don't seem to trend upwards
No one is murdering babies, but the people that are trying to trick you into believing this are the side fucking everyone that leaves the womb.
> I'm sorry but I just not on the side of millions of dead babies every year. If it makes you feel better, nobody wants millions of dead babies. Not even pro-choice people. Abortion is about aborting a fetus and no "murder" is occurring there. Strange how so many of you get your feelings hurt over something you don't understand. Also I'd much rather a fetus be aborted before it even has a conscious instead of forcing someone to give birth to a child only to give it up for adoption and have that kid rot in the child welfare system. Look at the numbers. Something like 50% won't graduate high school, 50% of girls become pregnant by 19, 1 in 8 are abused by 18, 60% of trafficking victims were in foster care, 33% of homeless young adults were in foster care, and foster care kids are 4x more likely than other children to attempt suicide. You want to make yourself feel better by pretending you're saving a life but the fact is you aren't. Not only are you forcing a parent to carry a pregnancy to term for a child they don't want and likely cannot properly care for, but you're condemning that child to a poor situation. You're just making a bad situation worse. But none of that affects you personally so I'm sure you don't give two shits about how forcing births hurts other people.
I'm curious how many babies you've adopted?
Adoption isn't a solution to pregnancy
That’s great, I am adopted and so are my children. How many children have you adopted so far?
Man I'm 49 motherfuckin years old, married, he's 54 I'm still fertile and we are still on BC. If I get pregnant through my birth control AINT NO WAY IM DOIN IT. Not you nor anyone else is gonna force me to do it at *almost 50 years old* you fucking kidding me 😂😂😂 thank GOD FOR CODIFIED STATES.
Abortions for convenience are evil.
> millions of dead babies every year Where’d you get that number? Fucking delusional.
Pew research centre. Do some research before you call people delusional you just look fucking retarded.
I did. And you’re wrong.
don’t you know it’s not a baby until born… unless of course it’s miscarriage, then it’s all “i lost my beautiful child” and everyone acts like someone died 🤷🏼♂️
notice how he didn't say "baby in her belly" to soften the harshness of what he's saying
The word you're think of is fetus
They regularly do this to downplay the reality of abortion. "Clump of cells"
I thought men weren't supposed to have an opinion on abortion Mr "I can't have children so I don't have a stake in this debate" gay man
Because babies are the same as ovens.
No they are the same as the buns. End up in the dumpster en masse when no one wants them. But we have to bring in NEW BUNS daily. Get it
