You're arguing against a lot of stuff that I'm not saying. Did you assume I'm defending this ban? Is that why everyone in here is down voting me? Y'all need to act less vicious in conversation. I'm only interested in ethics. I'm no statesman trying to buff up births for economics it whatever reason they claim. I'm actually literally an antinatalist.

Did you just fucking hatch out of the ground yesterday? How in the actual fuck did you think questioning when an appropriate time to implement a fucking ban on abortion was going to lead to light-hearted discussion? People had their fucking rights stolen and their lives put in very real danger, but I'm sorry for not playing nice with your purely theoretical line of questions. You fucking suggested that people had abortions to get back at partners based on... nothing? Vibes? And you expect people to treat you with respect after that?

Civility is an agreement between parties. It requires a mutual understanding of the weight of topics being discussed and an understanding of what the stakes are. You broke that agreement when you treated the topic of abortion with the same social weight that people use when idly gossiping. This isn't some fun thought experiment or theoretical moral quandary with no stakes. People are dying because of this and you're treating it like a fucking game. Fuck all the way off.
