just three women have died and 50783 babies have been saved by Texas' abortion law. A damn good trade if you ask me.

Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

    So, what, kill everyone who can’t live in a healthy home?

    This mindset is insane and it’s so weird that people who hold it act like they have the moral high ground or something.

      But forcing people to have kids they don’t want is a moral high ground?

        Rape isn’t part of the pro life platform, nor is the abolition of the adoption process.

      I’m pretty sure he’s advocating for eugenics.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics

        (…) set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population.

        Does that definition appear to fit what you just read in that other comment ?

          Do you not understand why eugenics is bad? You know what, here, this article does a better job of explaining it than I ever could. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1129063/ And for good measure, a reddit post too, why not? https://www.reddit.com/r/philosophy/comments/mhk16/why_is_eugenics_wrong/

            Thanks for the documentation, it’s always appreciated. Now you can try rereading my comment

        IDK if eugenics is the word for it but he’s certainly advocating for…something interesting

          They’re indirectly advocating for classism and suggesting that the “undesirables” aren’t worthy of life, and/or can’t attain personal or economic value.

          It’s really fucking weird when you think about it. Like, pick a lane.

            It’s weird, to be sure, and maybe I’m being pedantic, but genocide refers specifically to genetics and that doesn’t seem to be why most of the people here support abortion. Pro-abortion arguments are usually ageist or ableist rather than genocidal.
