I thought it was our constitutional duty to consume a tube of ivermectin every day
But abortion isn't? Lol
he has one too many pig tapeworms and toxoplasma in his brain.
Wait until the pro-lifers discover the antibiotics they pop when they're sick kill organisms inside of them... Life is sacred when it's not their bodies.
Def restrict them, feeding them by the fuckton to cattle because you're too lazy to figure out a way to keep that many of them in sanitary conditions is how you get civilization-ending superbugs.
Yes, the widespread misuse and abuse of antibiotics is a huge problem. Don't tell the antivax RFK fans about it though, you'll give them new ideas.
Wouldn't it be nice if more folk were just reasonable about things? Life would be so much easier and more fun.

A non-viable fetus is not equivalent to a baby.

As to the "playing god" thing, I was actually quite amazed at how touchy the IVF doctors were about that issue. They had some interesting rules about what they would and wouldn't tell the parents about the offspring options. I'd have to go ask my friends about it again for all of them, but I remember one of the rules was the doctors wouldn't tell them the color of the eyes before choosing.
I believe that ethical doctors do this. I also believe there are some unethical doctors out there who don’t give a shit and allow their patients to select for all kinds of traits. Ultimately, there is no way to know unless someone talks about it.
My first challenge to you would be to go look into the eyes of infertile people and tell them that “not everyone deserves a child, it’s not a right, it’s a gift.”
It’s easy to argue on the internet behind your keyboard. Much much harder to say your shitty beliefs out loud in front of people.
Here is my second question for you. A hypothetical.
You are at a fertility clinic, and a fire breaks out. You run past a room almost engulfed by flames, and see a little 4-year-old child in there, screaming for help.
As you go to rescue this child, you notice that the other side of the room has hundreds of embryos in Petri dishes. Babies, according to your beliefs.
You only have time to save one of those things. A 4-year-old child or hundreds of babies.
Who do you save? Be honest.
Fuck off
Pushing your stupid superstition ain't changing anyone's minds
Ya know? Gotta say.....when I watched the pro-life vs pro-choice clash thats been taking place the past 10 years, I didn't see this coming. I'm usually pretty good about seeing things coming, but I had no clue that the end game of abortion bans was just a ploy to save tapeworms inside peoples bodies.
Didn't see that one coming.
Your body is a temple for the tapeworm. God sees you when you murder His precious tapeworms, and you’ll be made to answer for your sins when that big ole judgin’ shindig in heaven goes down. Can’t say I didn’t warn ya.
Actor best known for playing laughably dumb characters, turns out to actually be laughably dumb.
Playing to his strengths, I suppose?
as soon as the news came out about him attending a far right church of his brothers, and him whining about not getting "lead roles" broke his mind.
i could understand attending your brother's church to support your brother (and give them advice). if one of my siblings (not the dipshit one) was clergy of some sort or a church musician and i lived nearby, and their church was not preaching something absolutely repellent, yeah i'd goto support them. i know what it's like to be performing to an empty room. i have not had the heart to check my internet viewership at the last church.
Itsa meee, Chris Pratt.
Killing tapeworms is murder, but they're parasites rather than humans so we don't care.
Sorry, but inaccurate. It may be described as a commensal relation at minimum.
The foetus propagates the parents genes and contributes towards the perpetuation of the species which from a biological perspective which is good. In a parasitic relation, the host only loses and the parasite only gains. In motherhood, the body is actually going out of its way to actually accommodate the baby and in return the baby does confer some positives from modulating the immune system to make the mother less susceptible to allergens to downright increasing infection fighting capabilities (see foetal microchimerism).
I feel this need to add this: I know this is a meme, and that I'm very pro choice.
Oh gods I masturbated to a dolphin fetus? I'm going to dolphin hell!
i don't fucking know. maybe he likes my brand of insane?
It's self-defense.
Hey dudes, I'm running a church for murderers.
Wait, that might actually be true
Don't give them ideas.
Killing mosquitoes is a murder too. And I'm all for mosquitocaust
ITT - people perfectly fine with being disingenuous.
I know this is just a shitpost but if you consider religious opponents to abortion believe that humans are made in the image of God and have infinite value compared to other things like tapeworms, you'll understand their position.
that humans are made in the image of God
My tired brain: wait, so is this the real original sin? Since you shouldn't create images of god...
I think the iconoclast issue is long over for all the christianity cults. It's only the muslims that still have those proscriptions, unless there is another minor religion somewhere that addresses the image thing.
Humans are animals
I've seen Mr Meaty I know that tape worms are people too.
I have written out this comment and I am now just processing what the fuck my brain has summoned from the depths of my psychological hell.
But they do have a body and might be someone (we don't judge)
Your momma is an animal, uh, in the sack not a human.
Wait that one actually kinda worked. She's a classy lady.
People who have not arrived at a position by logic or reason can never be dissuaded by logic or reason. This is humor, because trying to debate or convince an anti-abortion terrorist that they are not only wrong but evil would be pointless.
they are evil, but they are not illogical. there seem to be a confusion between logic, which is objective, and morality, which is not. they are reaching the logical conclusion of pro-life from their morality, which is evil.
i think the mentality of "they are evil, therefore they are not logical, therefore there is no point trying to talk to them" is very unconstructive. because it rules out the possibility of change. if you think they cannot be changed, what else can you do? wait for them to all die, then we'd all be living in paradise? or throw 40% of US citizens in prison?
Many of them are illogical, or have logic descending from extremely dubious axioms.
For example, "abortion is murder of an innocent baby" + "allow abortion for rape or incest" don't square well together, but see commonly seen together.
The "abortion is murder" crowd is against it up until it personally affects them.
I once had to dodge a punch because in an argument with someone I used to go to church with as a child, I brought up his own daughters getting pregnant as teens and him taking them 3 states over to get abortions.
Apparently "that's different and you know it"
Besides, who gives a shit whether their logic is internally consistent when they can just ask sky daddy to forgive them and they'll get into heaven no matter how many (according to them) babies they murder.
What's extra wild to me are those who stay logically consistent through that patch; that is they believe abortion even in cases of rape and incest is still immoral and thus should be illegal.
I've got a family member with that take and I was legit speechless when she said that to me, esp since I consider her one of the more rational and compassionate members of my family.
Their logic is "women are cattle that exist to breed" and so there's literally no argument in favor of abortion you can ever make.
The only thing that ever convinces them is if a woman becomes a person to them, so perhaps a daughter or other family member, and so they're able to justify her abortion because she's a person. This will never be applied to a woman they don't know.
Being pregnant themselves under inopportune circumstances changes their mind, at least temporarily.
Is a good inspiration
For some reason that link is borked on Wikipedia’s end, this should work:
https://en.wikipedia.org/...
Is it logically equivalent? I mean they both drain their host, they both require a host to survive, and usually one dies when removed from the host.
Are conservative Christians going to care? Of course not because NO ARGUMENT WILL EVER BE ENOUGH for them. They believe a sky fairy will save them from eternal suffering that the same sky fairy sends them to for not believing hard enough that sky fairy exists. Logic isn't important to them.
The thing that never ceases to baffle me with religious people is when they're faced with terrible hardship, catastrophic life events, disability or unending suffering, and they thank the Lord for sending them a just test of their faith.
Well, I have a disability, and if there's a magical sky fairy out there responsible for it, you can go fuck yourself, you mean piece of shit.
But there isn't so I'm not bitter 🙂
An organism living in, on, or with another organism in order to obtain nutrients, grow, or multiply often in a state that directly or indirectly harms the host. The ends to the mean is worth the sacrifice to most mothers and often intentionally planned for or accepted, but yes, a fetus qualifies.
As far as using it as an argument, no, it won't work for various reasons. But as presented as a question of definition...
Do you know how high I am, occifer?
I get where you're coming from. It's kind of annoying when other pro-choice people smugly treat pregnancy and sometimes even children as inherently undesirable all the time. But like other people have already pointed out, the purpose of the post was never to convince anyone, it's just being funny.
