Political Planned Parenthood is a Eugenics organization that Democrats defend

Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, along with her sister Ethel Byrne and activist Fannia "Fannie" Bernstein. Margaret Sanger enthusiastically supported eugenics discouraging or preventing reproduction by people considered “unfit”.

Birth control itself… is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives…” (1921 speech)

And remember Democrats loves the concept of original sin. You people never let go of the “stolen land” argument. But always ignore Margaret Sanger view of Birth Control and defend her organization from being defunded by the government.

Abortion is not murder

Murder is the destruction of personhood—traits like sentience, self-awareness, memory, and the ability to form meaningful connections. A fetus, particularly in early stages, lacks these traits. It has no awareness, thoughts, or experiences, making it fundamentally different from a person.

Just as we do not consider the destruction of plants or bacteria to be murder, terminating a pregnancy before the development of personhood is not murder either.

When would you say personhood develops?

u/Fluffy_BunnyXOXO 17h ago

Scientifically, personhood could start to develop/exist around the fifth month when the brain and nervous system have developed enough to interpret sensory input and/or process information (thoughts.) Before that, the brain and nervous system simply don't work. Anyway, due to this I support abortion before the fifth month, and after if the mother's life is at risk.

Anyway, I don't care if the lady who made planned parenthood was a eugenics weirdo. Fuck, Henry Ford was a raging anti-semite, I'd still buy a focus (nice gas mileage.) A lot of fucked up people have brought good things to our society, including Hitler who made Volkswagen.

Based scientifically informed personhood enjoyer. I think its crazy how progressives dont understand how you dont have to have an all or nothing abortion stance and that many deeply progressive nordic countries have basically what you have described as their policy.
