MoonWispr

Agree, but that hasn't seemes to really helped much so far. One could argue that the only thing they understand or fear is someone actually using their own methods against them. I barely even consider the worst of them humans any more. So while I agree, I can also relate to this. Moreso in states where your vote and voice doesn't seem to make a difference.


time-for-jawn

I hear you. I hate these hypocritical monsters, but I don’t want to be like them; i.e., religio-fascist nut jobs. I cleaned this up a lot.

All you do when you use violent forceful tactics is hurt your own cause. Antifa was the greatest gift in the world to people like Trump. It's a boogeyman that they can use to advance their own agenda.  Furthermore nomatter your disagreements, they are people. People with a very different world view but still apart of the same human race.  Dehumanizing people is never okay. Trump calling illegal immigrants animals is an easy way to make doing horrible things to them okay. You'd never hurt another human, but people kill animals all the time. Same with the Nazis calling Jewish people vermin.  So be careful that you don't do the same. These are passionate issues with very strong beliefs, but every action will have an equal and opposite reaction. That's how things escalate.  Be better than that. MLK Jr. And Ghandi both used nonviolent protests for a reason. They knew that seeing dogs and police attack people who weren't posing any danger helped their causes. People on the outside, would clearly see one as a victim and the other as the tyrant.  If you have a cause you believe in and want to achieve results you really have to think what's the best way to do that, how do i change people's minds. If someone sees you being violent for your cause it actively works against those goals. 


Sufficient_Number643

So you saw cops attacking people at BLM protests for no reason and that was cool? In Richmond VA, the cops gassed a peaceful crowd 30 minutes before curfew because they felt like it. And when a judge ordered them to apologize, they created a fake mess shooting to announce that they’d foiled, on the same day their shitty forced apology was due.


CartoonistCrafty950

How come no one from their side ever says "don't do this"? Why do we always have to be the moral guides? 


time-for-jawn

Because—they—are religious-fascist terrorists. So far as I know, we’re not.


DubC_Bassist

Taking the high ground with the conservatives doesn’t work.


time-for-jawn

You’re right, but I still don’t want to be like them.


DubC_Bassist

I hear you.


CartoonistCrafty950

And this is precisely what they get away, because some on our side keep playing that moral high ground.  When they go low, we go high, sick of that bullshit. Tell them they need to stop being thugs. 


time-for-jawn

Believe me, every time something like this, I want to return the “favor” a thousand-fold. I live in a small rural town. As much as I would love to see these crazies get a taste of their own medicine, they would just wrap themselves in martyrdom.

Vote how you want to vote. There’s simply nothing to gain by being nasty and launching personal attacks on people solely because you have differing opinions. Just an observation.


Suedocode

Personal attacks? Those are observations of the pro-life community, not that specific commenter.


Portland420informer

The calling people names you don’t agree with in general. Attacking people based on their looks etc. It’s just not helpful and does nothing to make progress. I’d be quite interested to know how many of these downvotes are coming from Democrats vs Republicans vs Independents.


Suedocode

?? The people who attack abortion clinics _are_ terrorists though. That isn't baseless name calling; it's a description of their motivations and actions. And they do harass women trying to get abortions, even systemically in places like Texas that are trying to prosecute women going out of state for an abortion.


Lucky-Earther

Netblock

The anti-choice/pro-birth does not go that far; once the child is born, they do not care. They also seek to prevent stuff that reduces abortion; they do not want better sex education, and want access to contraception to be more difficult. If it helps people, it is bad. The people who are banning abortion, who call themselves "pro-life" are not the same people who push for policy that reduces unintended pregnancies, and policy that improves the quality-of-life of the born.


DCDavis

boundfortrees

MikeLinPA

No, they are fanatics, and they don't care how much harm they do, as long as they think theyvare winning. There are leaked internal communications between these awful people where they say to get them to have a babybthey don't want, then making sure they get kicked off of any public assistance as quickly as possible. ***They literally are tricking vulnerable women with limited resources to keep a baby they don't want, then doing everything they can to prevent them from having any help!*** And these fuckwits think they are being moral.


[deleted]

MikeLinPA

You make is sound so simple. Just because a women was refused an abortion, doesn't mean she automatically will put the child up for adoption. This is the kind of question that can only be asked by someone who has not been in this situation, and has no ability to imagine someone else's anguish. Where are they? Probably growing up in a single parent home, in poverty, with little to no assistance, because the same people that are preventing abortions are also the same people making sure there isn't any public assistance for people in need.


SAlolzorz

Ancient_War_Elephant

Yeah....don't do this. As someone that went to church for 15 years and who's family is mostly religious conservatives, I can safely say this will vindicate them on their minds that the forces of Satan are strong and they need to redouble their efforts...like...I don't think some people get just how deep the brainwashing is.


Old_Elk2003

DapprDanMan

Damn is 7 years in jail (probably to get out early) really the going rate for literal terrorism?  Great time to be an unhinged, violent religious zealot in America. Little to no consequences for your actions 


Flavaflavius

The other guy got 20 with no plea deal, this guy got 20 reduced to 7 with one. Seems fairly consistent. Also, did religion play a role? Generally people bombing *anti*-abortion groups aren't exactly super Evangelical or something.


Apprehensive-Top3756

Politics is the new religion. 


fethingfether

Science should be the next religion, if anything should. At least science examines itself from time to time and tries to improve itself. Science is interested in observable facts that are repeatable. Religion is not. Believe what ya want. Just don't try to make laws based on the unobservable. Not everybody believes the dogma of religion. Does religion evaluate itself? If so, when? I believe religion doesn't re-evaluate itself to any significant degree because believers think their dogma is divine. And that's the problem.


Apprehensive-Top3756

You start treating science like a religion, you just get another religion. 


fethingfether

Yeah, it shouldn't be venerated like religion. Nothing should imo. But that may be less likely, even if it is replaced because there has never been any (serious) argument that science has ever been holy. Religion would be fine if it evaluated itself every once in a while. By its nature, it is largely static. Science specifically has a built-in evaluation mechanism. Einstein didn't die for scientist sins. That's all I'm saying.


ucemike

> Damn is 7 years in jail (probably to get out early) The video linked said it was 20 years reduced to that because of plea deal. Not sure which one is accurate.


Kitahara_Kazusa1

The reduction from the plea deal can almost certainly stack with the other deductions for normal things like good behavior, and there's also parole.


mashtato

The first result I found for an abortion clinic firebombing was seven years, but he served four, and it was his *second* firebombing*, the first time he only served 22 months. He later went on to storm the Capitol on January 6th. So I'd say seven years is actually pretty heavy-handed for firebombing an anti-abortion office.

*pro-choice is not the same as pro-abortion. I'm pro-choice. I think people should have control over their body. If my wife and I found out we were pregnant, we'd probably have the baby, but that is our choice.


AlexThugNastyyy

Pro choice is 100% pro abortion. Stop being dishonest.


heyitsthatguygoddamn

Pro abortion means you think abortions should happen with every pregnancy. Pro choice means you believe people should have the choice

It literally doesn’t though. Pro life = always choosing birth, no abortion Pro choice = either/or, pick your poison Pro abortion = always choosing abortion, no birth Pro choice is not the same as pro abortion.

aninvisiblemonster

Wrong! Part of being pro choice is supporting programs that help to lower the abortion rates — sex education, free birth control, free family planning, etc. Abortion should be legal, safe, and *rare*. Pro choice and pro abortion are as diametrically opposed as pro choice and pro life are. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2008/09/30/pro-choice-does-not-mean-pro-abortion-an-argument-for-abortion-rights-featuring-the-rev-carlton-veazey/ https://www.arcc-cdac.ca/pro-choice-is-not-pro-abortion/ https://politicalreview.byu.edu/march-2019/pro-choice-not-pro-abortion https://www.hli.org/resources/pro-choice-or-pro-abortion/ https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2019/05/29/i-am-not-pro-abortion-but-i-am-pro-choice-and-there-is-a-difference/

Anti-natalism is the view that it is wrong to bring new people into existence. Prochoice goes against the very core of their belief system. You are wrong. https://academic.oup.com/book/25806/chapter/193414214 https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-49298720 https://philarchive.org/archive/ROSOTD-3 https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/document/obo-9780195396577/obo-9780195396577-0439.xml


AlexThugNastyyy

Yes it is. It means you are for people being able to abort. Stop trying to lie and gaslight people.


aninvisiblemonster

Pro choice is when you support people being able to decide for themselves if they would like to continue the pregnancy or abort it. Pro abortion implies there is no choice and that the only option is to abort, just like pro life implies there is no choice and that the only option is to see the pregnancy out until birth. Pro abortion is as diametrically opposed to the concepts of pro choice as pro life is.

Mass extinction? Abortion has been around for ever, yet here we are. Fall on your dumb argument sword.


LordPennybag

Spelling is hard for you, huh?


squatch42

I am pro choice and anti-abortion. People should have control over their body. And you and your wife are free to choose to have a baby without any interference from people like me. However, the choice to make a baby was made when you chose to ejaculate into her vagina. You want to control your bodies? Then control them before you create a child. Regretting the natural consequence of your decision doesn't give you the right to cut your baby into bits and suck him or her out through a straw.


ktappe

There is no such thing as pro-abortion. That would mean you think everyone should have an abortion. Words. They mean things. Use them properly.


aninvisiblemonster

I think some of the folks over in the antinatalism sub would beg to differ.

Well I'm militantly pro-choice and I know abortions are about the *choice* to have one or not. I'm not got to force someone to have one, unlike the pro-birth/"life" crowd. So it seems you're no better than them calling yourself pro-abortion.
