raumdeuter: you will be shocked how they go around showing their demagoguery without even knowing it. |

Xavier5: The video below is from Kano, a highly Conservative state, where abortion obviously is illegal. The streets are littered with young boys and girls begging for food https://youtube.com/shorts/_nEG-66dJZY?si=jklOe5ivbFHgX6pT To me this is far more dehumanising than abortion. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I wrote a long post on liberals who oppose abortion and conservatives who support abortion but spaaambo00t wont let me post it wirinet, budaatum, Xavier5 Is the person below Conservative or liberal?

Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by raumdeuter: 12:08am On Oct 08 |
How is Xavier5 different from the man in this above? A liberal actually a man Long term senator on the Democratic presidential ticket who oppose abortion |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by raumdeuter: 12:13am On Oct 08 |
Now to the flip side wirinet budaatum, xavier5 Is the woman in the picture conservative or liberal? She is a Republican Senator and supports abortion

raumdeuter: when you leave no room for nuance, you won't make any reasonable argument for who is a liberal and who is not. |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by IjeBos(m): 12:36am On Oct 08 |
raumdeuter: I keep saying you have 0 idea how any of this works. 1.) There are lines in between. Someone can be not liberal and not conservative. 2.) You can be personally against abortion like me yet still believe it is a person's choice to make. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

raumdeuter: Murkowski is a known moderate. Again, you have 0 idea how this works. |

IjeBos: Is Tim Kaine personally a liberal or a conservative given his opinions on abortion |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by raumdeuter: 12:46am On Oct 08 |
IjeBos: How is Tim Kaines position different than Xavier5 Does Tim Kaine claim to be liberal? Is he anti abortion? Does Xavier5 claim to be liberal? Is he anti abortion? |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by raumdeuter: 12:52am On Oct 08 |
bemeruca: There are social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, social liberals, fiscal liberals etc and different iterations Thats why Guiliani, Charlie Baker can be conservatives who support abortion and Tin Kaine, Bob Casey are liberals who oppose abortion |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by bemeruca: 1:02am On Oct 08 |
IjeBos: Dude shut up you are not against abortion. And this shows how all over the place you are. Confused simply put. |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by IjeBos(m): 1:59am On Oct 08 |
raumdeuter: My mind can't even comprehend the rubbish you are asking. Kaine considers himself a left leaning centrist or a moderate. Hence his positions. Murkowski considers herself a Conservative leaning centrist or a moderate. Hence her positions. Xavier claims to be a liberal. His positions are contrary to that. He may be a Nigerian liberal or like Murkowski a conservative leaning Moderate. You somehow think that people must be either Conservative or Liberal. You should really read a book. You don't understand how much you don't know because you don't read. I'm not joking. Read some books or editorials in the Newspaper. May make you smarter. But you have such a deficit who knows. |

bemeruca: I've never seen such lunacy. Because you don't agree and it's all over the news about FEMA diverting funds, Mods should ban you. I had posted this image below a few days ago. Bemeruca. Never reveal your details here. This lunatic if he got hold of your address is the type that can call FBI and claim you are an ISIS terrorist or something like that . Or call your employer with a fake story just to have you fired. Obrigardo though mentally incompetent would never do that. Resident idiot is capable of that. 1 Like

bemeruca: Group think. If you are a liberal these are the tenets you must believe in and advocate for LGBTQ Abortion etc etc |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by basilico: 6:46am On Oct 08 |
bemeruca: A lot of conservatives including married get unplanned pregnancies and seek abortions. Abortion ban if put to secret ballot would never pass anywhere including the Vatican I guess. |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by basilico: 6:53am On Oct 08 |
IjeBos: P Diddy and his freak off party lovers would love abortions a day before birth for obvious reasons. Jeffrey Epstein would like abortions also for obvious reasons. A lot of women, married and unmarried get unplanned pregnancies and seek abortions. Liberals get pregnant, flaunt baby bumps on social media, 8th month discovers baby daddy is a creep , so she aborts the baby. Abortion should be controlled somehow. |

IjeBos: Who was in that Senate panel? Had some members been briefed of efforts to spy on Trump by Comey long before elections of 2016. Didn't the IG find that the opening of Crossfire Hurricane had no predicate |

basilico:As a liberal, I don't believe in and certainly won't advocate for LGBTQ. Having said that, I believe sex is a private affair and what two consenting adults do in the privacy of the bedroom is non of my business. My problem is when they do it in public. 2 Likes |

wirinet: Exactly, after saying this can you agree to Xavier5 calling himself a liberal? |

wirinet: Still does not negate the dehumanizing of the fetus, which you admit with your definition of a human life, as being a living human. The government and the society does not have the right to decide what people do with their lives and bodies, that I heavily champion. But the government has the right to preserve human life. And a fetus is a human life. If a fetus is a human life, my morality, altruism, and values of human rights and equality makes be pro-life. It makes me unable to discriminate against a powerless, innocent, voiceless human life simply because it's in the womb. Equality and human rights applies to all human life irrespective of gender, race, intelligence, viability, socio-economic status, and stage of development. All human life, including a fetus, deserve to be loved and cared for. I can never dehumanize a fetus simply because it can not speak or fight for itself, if I do so, how does that make me different from the Nazis, racists, sexists, slave owners, jihadist, the twin killers in ancient Calabar etc? Talking about my pro-life. I'm against extreme pro-life, but rather I stand for common sense or rational pro-life. That's why I advocate for; * The respect, care and protection of all human life... fetus inclusive. * The creation of systems (which I personally refer to as Abortion Mitigating System aka AMS) that ensure the woman isn't forced to be mother against her will while simultaneously ensuring the protection of the life of the unborn babies, the care or welfare of children, the protection of the life of women, and the tackling of the menance of unwanted pregnancies. * The allowance of temporal pro-choice until the above system is effectively established. Yes, establishing the mentioned system is going to be physically, mentally, emotionally and financially straining, but hey, a human life is worth those strains. And as a person, I've decided that I'm not just going to be a sit and watch pro-life but an action one. I have plans to establish an organization that would be heavily committed to establishing the above systems via; * Funding child support and orphanages * Ensuring good and accessible healthcare for women and children * Subsidizing birth controls to make them affordable, available and accessible. * Spreading the message of celibacy and protected sex with the aim of establishing such culture. * Allowing Abortion in the CRITICAL CASES which are pre-adolescent pregnancies, severe deformity of the fetus, and medically or surgically unremedied life threatening pregnancies. Critical cases majorly deal with the woman's life. If the above is effectively done; 1.) Women won't be forced to be mothers against their will thanks to well funded orphanages. 2.) The life of the unborn babies will be protected thanks to well funded child support and orphanages. 3.) Children will be taken care of thanks to well funded child support and orphanage, likewise good and accessible healthcare 4.) The life of women will be protected thanks to good and accessible healthcare, and the allowance of abortion in the critical cases (which majorly deals with the woman's life) 5.) Unwanted pregnancies will be tackled (higher chance) thanks to subsidized, accessible, affordable and available birth controls, likewise a pro celibacy and protected sex culture. It's going to take lots of time and a whole lot of work and resources, but I believe it can and will be possible, and I also believe that with such efforts, governments, individuals, and organizations will jump on board with time. If things are effectively done, I see abortion not being an issue in the future. That's Xavier's pro-life view, and I'm proud to hold such view. I don't see a reason why anyone with a conscience will have issues with that. So rather than push for abortion, why don't we create such systems... while allowing temporal pro-choice until the systems are effectively in place? #Xavier |

raumdeuter: I doubt you understand how this works. Do you know that a person can be against aborting for themselves but support the fact that others may want the choice? Biden, being a Catholic, is not likely to want to abort, but he understands that others may want to, so chooses pro-choice Kamala as his VP. Being able to allow others to chose for themselves to abort or not just as you have chosen not to, is liberal. |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by budaatum: 9:24am On Oct 08 |
bemeruca: You are not talking about rape because you say it is rare, and "most women who are doing abortions are not doing it because of rape", but you want to talk about abortions up to birth, despite that being very rare and what hardly any woman would do? Hope you see why I call you an si? |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by budaatum: 9:31am On Oct 08 |
bemeruca: You obviously can "have sex with a woman if she does not agree", just as your pussy grabbing idol does grabs pussy without consent, but then we have agreed that you don't know what consent means, so no surprise there.

kkins25:Thanks for recognising that it would indeed be fascist of me to insist 'your brain my choice'. kkins25:Republicans are taking a huge heat due to their loyalty to Trump's stup.i.dity, which I'm glad Biden does not have. And to be honest, the only reason you'd think "Biden must be crying himself to sleep" because he doesn't have "blind unity" is because you think he must be and reason like dump who was crying and couldn't sleep after he lost an election, when the truth is, Biden did something very admirable indeed, to the point he shot up in my ranking of humans when he stepped down. Values, as I say to Xavier5, are very subjective indeed. kkins25:Anyone left for a Tea Party, lol. 1 Like 1 Share |

Xavier5: The real question is if there was some universally known intrinsic human value why would the Nazis have killed so many Jews. Because there isn't is why. All value is subjective. And to answer your particular question, the Nazis didn't see it as murder, the Allies did, once again showing that it is a legal matter that expresses the subjectivity. Is capital punishment murder? Is killing of enemy combatants in battle murder? Is killing in self defense murder? In killing someone accidentally murder? The answer to all these questions is NO because murder has a narrow definition that does not encompass all forms of killing. You see why I said you should ask questions, rather than making conclusions. Do you know what the critical cases are, and why I made them exemptions? What conclusion did I make? On what basis are you saying a fetus isn't a human life and hence has not the right to live except some superior power say so? So in your view, certain lives are superior to others, and these superior lives has the right to eliminate the inferior life if it helps their cause? Point out where I said the fetus isn't a human life and hence has not the right to live except some superior power say so. The fetus does not have the right to use the resources and body of another human without permission. Nobody has that right. Nope in my view I subjectively value some humans over others, just like you value your mother's life over mine. And when it comes to choosing you will choose according to your subjective value. Also point out where I used the words superior and inferior. And I come back to the core of the issue, if all human life has value irrespective of gender, race, intelligence, viability, socio-economic status, or stage of development, but because they are human life, and if a fetus is a human life, doesn't that fetus has the right to live? Which now brings us to the question, is a fetus a human life? What makes an organism human? And does the fetus meet that requirements? These are the questions we should be asking. Like I already said the fetus has no right to use the woman's body without consent. It's her life the fetus has to depend on, it literally has to live off of her blood. Do you think somebody should have the right to just come take your blood without your consent? And my response to these is, I question the liberalism that negate or sideline human value all in the name of bodily liberty. So much for human rights and equality ๐ If you can find a way to preserve a fetus that is between 0-5 months old outside of the woman's body that would be great. Till then the owner of the body should have the right to agree or disagree with growing something inside her. 1 Like 1 Share |

wirinet: Same case. A woman cannot get a third trimester abortion within her state so poor thing has to travel out of state to obtain her To prevent that every state must allow abortion at whatever trimester. |

LordReed: Dehumanizing a foetus. If not for abortion maybe someone would have obtained a Cancer Abortion should not be about feelings, I hate that " thing" so I need my medical insurance to pay for my hospital bill to get rid of it. |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by budaatum: 11:38am On Oct 08 |
basilico: Doctor says your wife will die if she does not terminate her third trimester non-viable pregnancy. What would you do? Reasons for late terminations of pregnancy include when a pregnant woman's health is at risk or when lethal fetal abnormalities have been detected.[7][8] 2 Likes
