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

  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.

    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. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1129063/ And for good measure, a reddit post too, why not? www.reddit.com/r/…/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, or can’t attain existential value.

        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.
