    What is your solution for fetal anomalies that will inevitably lead to stillbirth or death in the first few hours of life? What is your solution for pregnancy abnormalities that put the life of the mother at serious risk? What is your solution for women who are desperately trying to escape monstrously abusive relationships that got pregnant from marital rape or coercion?

      That’s…optimistic.

      I feel like you’re expecting a rational discourse with someone who so far has gone with “BaBy MurDerErS” and “YEah,bUt SciEnCe is On My sIDe” ( without actually stating how ).

      They aren’t addressing unwanted pregnancies, medical complication, sexual assault and things outside their carefully crafted headcannon, on purpose.

      You’re gonna get handwaving at best, probably some strawman example, righteous indignation with no explained basis perhaps a personal attack.

      I would not at all be surprised if they were bordering on the belief that victims of sexual assault can just “decide” to not get pregnant.

      That’s the level of critical thinking you’re working with here, i’d manage my expectations if i were you.

        I unfortunately attend a religious university for medical school (not by choice, mind you), so I am quite familiar with the mindset displayed here from people with substantially better education.

          Still shows up for me, though i’m almost certainly blocked by them.

          On the plus side that allows me to provide solid reviews for the folks at home without having to dive in to meta-reviews of responses to me.

            Weird, all their responses just say Removed for me, like every single comment they’ve ever made. Can you be banned by one instance and not others or something?

              I think you can be banned instance wide but i have no idea what kind of shit you’d need to pull to warrant that kind of punitive action.

              As far as i know blocking only works one way as well, as in , if they block you they can’t see you, but you can still see them.

              Very weird.

              Just had a quick look, up to about 4 hours ago they were still playing their solo game of cards against humanity with their own custom deck consisting entirely of fallacies, dogwhistes and scientifically inaccurate “facts”.

              So, at least they are consistent …i suppose.

              It’s like watching one of those grown-ass men strapped to the gills in munitions throwing an actual toddler tantrum, screaming “I’M FELLING THREATENED” at the 16 year old cashier because they won’t accept their SovCit note as payment.

              Entertaining, but somehow still sad.

        Screening means termination of non viable fetuses or carrying to stillbirth. Gene therapy is only available for one disease in humans and it isn’t a fetal anomaly. There are malformations that are not compatible with life that are random chance and not something you can predict through genetic analysis.

        In America, the leading cause of death of pregnant women is intimate partner homicide. The 2 most lethal times in an abusive relationship are when the victim is trying to leave or the victim is pregnant.

        Many women are pressured or coerced into unprotected sex by male partners and most courts wouldn’t prosecute those cases as rape because the woman eventually “consented” under browbeating and duress.

        The majority of abortions are sought by women who already have children and are not able to afford or to care for another child and the pregnancy was unplanned. Many other abortions are for serious health problems with the mother or the fetus. Functionally no one is getting abortions as birth control or “recreationally”. It is an unpleasant procedure and women who go through with it do so for important, valid reasons, and your beliefs have no place getting between a woman and the physician caring for her.

        So damn, this is some premium quality posting right here…let’s see…what do we have?

        • So we have a response that sounds like it should answer a question posed, but actually doesn’t.
        • A concession that baby-muder is in fact ok as long as it fits the criteria that you seem to have decided on, then some sneaky goalpoast moving.
        • “women should be required to carry rapists embryo’s to term because there’s therapy for that”…i mean…wow…that’s going in my classics list.
        • Using “Innocent child” without defining what child means and ignoring all current science on the matter.
        • Claiming you’re own country has the solution but not stating what it is or where.

        I’m officially impressed, i knew you had something in the wings and i was rewarded for my faith.

        9/10 shitpost, instant classic.
