Ashley Brandt, a Dallas resident, said she was pregnant with twins but learned one had a fatal condition called acrania. The longer she carried it, the more it jeopardized the survival of her other twin.

oh my god....

I don't think you can be any more "pro life" than putting 2 other healthy people at risk to save the life of a baby that's going to die.

Don't forget many "pro lifers" are in the same demographic as pro death penalty.

We're actually running out of spots in hell for hardworking Christians at this point. We're having to quadruple and octople stack souls together and it's a bit alarming. I've been having to repeat a ton of times to the incredulous that feeling like you're doing the right thing and doing the right thing, [aren't the same thing].

They seem genuinely shocked and confused, which leaves me feeling leery if they're actually idiots or evil. Hanlon's Razor says to always assume ignorance before malice.

You guys gotta do something or all your old people are gonna end up cooking.

You would not believe how many "leftists" I've told to stop using slurs or misgendering me, only to be told "but I didn't meeeeeean it, so I don't need to apologise"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They shouldn't do that but that isn't relevant or of the same scale. And yes I do make a point to not misgender someone but I am positive that I am going to make mistakes.

My sister-in-law is trans. I call her she. She is an amazing aunt and my kids love her.

Yeah that never made sense. I am prochoice and hate the death penalty. It should only be used when the crime is such that you legit can not put it in the same category as regular murder and a message has to be sent. Like when some dictator commits genocide. That's it. It has to be so extreme that the regular justice system doesn't have a clue what to even do about it.

especially if it is a fetus and not a baby
