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.

    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/

      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.
