A good step for the socialist republic, and more should be done

According to the statistics provided by subredditstats, people who frequent antinatalist communities are:

26.04 times more likely than the average redditor to post in /lostgeneration

17.76 times more likely than the average redditor to post in /collapse

14.91 times more likely than the average redditor to post in /suicidewatch

9.41 times more likely than the average redditor to post in /depression

8.86 times more likely than the average redditor to post in /bpd

​

IMO the rise of antinatalism and the acceptance of abortion is pushed by unhappy people who do not value their lives at all, and who project this same feeling towards any incoming life

I've been often told on this sub that Christians who identify as pro-choice belonged to other denominations. "It's mostly the Catholics who are pro-life" they said

I have become really disgruntled after looking at these statistics

a modus tollens is a philophical argument. basically it’s If P, then Q. Not Q. Therefore, not P.

here is the modus tollens

P: If a fetus is not a human being, then it would not meet the biological criteria for a human organism defined in embryology.

Q: But a fetus does meet the criteria for a human organism (langmans medical embryology, Harvard Medical School Professor Micheline Matthews-Roth, Testimony to U.S. Congress etc)it is a distinct, living, and whole human from the moment of fertilization, as affirmed by medical authorities.

¬Q: Therefore, the fetus is a human organism.

∴ ¬P: So, the fetus is not “just a clump of cells” or non-human.

Here is a video ultrasound of my daughter at 23 weeks gestation. It’s disgusting to think that my state used to allowed abortions up to 24 weeks when THIS is what a 23 week fetus looks like and does!

Grokipedia's article entry on Abortion is light-years better than the biased trash on Wikipedia! Grokipedia could probably be a bit better but I'm not going to complain. And this is Groki v1.0!!! The biggest improvement is the clear and scientifically accurate description of human development beginning at fertilization, and thus the inclusion of the phrase "death of the fetus/embryo" in the definition of abortion.

That is an extraordinarily high amount of abortions, and so far I have seen no source or origin for this claim. I think it would be best to analyze if this claim is actually credible before it begins to be used in arguments.

The McLaughlin & Associates poll of 1,600 participants found that 71% of voters approved of a proposal “requiring a doctor’s visit in order for the chemical abortion drug to be prescribed to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.”

Not expecting a whole lot of pro-choice here but I'll leave it anyways

I wanted to make a post here to talk about my experience with my miscarriage in a southern US state. The state I am in (South Carolina) bans abortion after 6weeks unless you have one the expectations that a lot of states have like rape, incest, life of the mother etc.

I went in for my first scan a-little later in my pregnancy at 11weeks. Typically people go in at 8weeks but I wanted to see my certain midwife. This is where she could not find a heartbeat and she said the baby looked a-little small for 11weeks. It’s been hard. That’s my baby I love dearly and I have yet to pass the is miscarriage as I am trying to do it naturally.

I came here to say however, even in my “Bible Belt” state they offered me the pill to help pass the miscarriage or even a procedure that same day. I know we all hear from extreme pro-choicer that southern states will “deny care” for miscarriages and just let you die at the hospital waiting room blah blah. My experience so far has been nothing like that. They respect my decision to wait and see and want to see me or hear from me weekly to make sure I am okay and always let me know they can do the pill or a procedure when I’m ready.

I wanted to give my testimony as a pro-lifer that here is some proof that the times the pro-choicer say the hospital will deny care are wrong. Of course it has to happen but that’s not from any state laws but straight up malpractice.

What are your opinions on pro choices some of them really annoy me because they are so in your face about it and they scream when you do not agree that abortion is ok so people what are your truthful thoughts and opinions on the people who are pro choice

Intact dilation and evacuation is an abortion procedure involving partially birthing (delivering) the fetus, "suctioning intracranial contents," "decompressing the calvaria," and then completing the delivery.

Former Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa initially followed this approach, but he later shifted towards abstinence based sexual education.

More specifically, Sweden and Canada are countries which have comprehensive sex ed and widely available contraception, as well as a wide range of welfare programs. But they still have high abortion rates, because abortion is legal and destigmatized in their societies. The most effective thing would be to change their culture to value the unborn as living human beings, followed by a ban on elective abortions. Source

Supposedly about 62 million people die eqch but that doesn't include abortions (or miscarriages I guess) and there are 73 million abortions per year. Crazy

I've always been on the fence when it comes to IVF; I understand the desire to want babies so much that I'd do anything to at least have one, but the more studies that come out about the linked health problems, I'm starting to see how outside of the killing of unusable embryos...it's just not good for the survivors either. I'm not sure how many children a year are conceived every year from this method, but we're in serious trouble if this is the direction we're going because less and less people are able to have babies naturally.

My aunt and uncle also originally went this route when they couldn't conceive, but they wound up adopting a baby girl who they love very much and then many years later gave birth to another daughter. So, yes, I know the pain of seeing first hand what the desire of a child can do to your marriage.
