Abortion bans and restrictions are contrary to human rights, and those that support it are ok with abject slavery. Do you agree?

[Agape93]

I agree

I don't because I only care about my shitty sensibilities without care for how it hurts or kills others

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I think it's a step too far to say that. Misguided, sure.

For a side who claims to want less government they sure do want to place more government controls in place just because of their own personal or religious beliefs. I do think they have a moral superiority complex that they feel the need to enforce, but I don't think it extends as far as saying they prefer abject slavery outright.

Republicans are bad at being actual Republicans sometimes. Its supposed to be about having freedom from government oversight but they seem hell bent on enforcing new rules where they don't like something. Unless it's guns which by all means remove any restrictions apparently.

I would think that those who think certain humans do not have the right to life, and who want to dehumanize them are the ones who would have supported slavery back when it was socially acceptable. After all, that is the exact ideology that slave supporters used.

[Agape93]

Except that nobody has the right to occupy another person's body without express and continued consent. That includes a fetus, which has no right to life, much less a right to use another to do so.

[RolandCuthbert]

Look, I am totally against abortion and comparing the ban to slavery is not helpful.

I think abortion advocates need to make their case based upon the law. Women have guaranteed rights under the Constitution, that's why I do not support a ban.

[Agape93]

I think it's quite apt. When the government takes away your bodily autonomy and forces you to undergo a damaging experience not of your choice, when the government floats banning pregnant people from leaving the state, that to me is slavery.

[RolandCuthbert]

Well, you can make the argument on whatever basis you wish. But that approach is totally ineffective and only alienates people who would normally support you.

[Agape93]

I don't rightly care. We have the support of 70% of the nation, and we still got fucked over by the gop and scotus. Support doesn't mean shit.

[RolandCuthbert]

Because the GOP and SCOTUS are making a pseudo legal argument. And you are not responding to their claims by saying this is about slavery.

This is about the rights every last one of us are guaranteed via the Constitution. And if they can take away the right to privacy and to life from a woman simply because she is a woman, then what other rights can they take away from the rest of us.

That's the point. And that's the legal foundation for reinstating Roe V Wade.

[Agape93]

It wouldn't matter how I address it, it won't make a damn difference. They're already planning on going after gsy marriage, interracial marriage and even contraception. Shit they're planning on giving election control to the states and then we will be fucked every way from Tuesday. There will be no changing that. I get your argument but we are fucked.

[RolandCuthbert]

Well, if you want to give up, give up. I cannot. Because as you have said, this goes way beyond abortion. As the fascists have claimed you cannot have access to a right unless it is explicitly spelled out in the Constitution.

And that is pure nonsense.

[Agape93]

I never said I was giving up, I'm saying we are fucked. Right now the only way I see forward if they succeed, is revolution. And I don't mean the MLK peaceful shit, I mean lining them against a wall and executing each and every one of them.

[TallAnon]

I'm fine with most abortions, but that seems like a stretch

[anon1903]

I think banning abortion rights is saying it's okay to ruin two people's lives at the cost of one

[CubaPirate]

I just glad to be British

[Agape93]

Good, stay away from this shit show
