Pro-lifers don't care.

All they care about is the fact that the white population will decrease as no one can afford/wants children, so the best way to remedy that is to force them to.

No need to sound like a political science textbook. Birth control means you don't have to get pegnorate!

PREG...PREGANANANT?

Pro-lifers do not care a single bit

[–] Turd_Ferg@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Its even simpler, dont sleep around.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

There are people in committed relationships that don't "sleep around" and also don't want to get pregnant.

Sounds awful. Fuck off and let people have bodily autonomy.

What a strange way to announce to the world that you're so pathetic a hooman female won't even throw you a pity fuck.

Or, maybe, don't impose your beliefs on women and let them make their own decisions with their body

[–] deltreed@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It’s a simple fact they don’t want to hear. Zero responsibility.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Money says the way you take responsibility is by being an emotionally retarded 40-yo virgin. Fuck me man, just say it out loud. "Females won't touch me."

[–] deltreed@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

I know exactly what you look like just by your sentence.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The simpler the 'fact', the more likely it is to be an oversimplification and largely untrue.

In this example, you have to overlook any time someone became pregnant without consent. They never chose it to begin with, so blaming them for "not taking responsibility" for something they never wanted is oversimplifying a complicated subject to the point of falsehood.

It's also especially funny how often this argument comes from people who, in the same breath, will talk about their savior being "of virgin birth". You can't argue that chastity works for everyone when it didn't work for Mary.

[–] deltreed@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Who becomes pregnant without consent outside of rape victims (which is an entirely low population compared to those with abort for reasons outside of that)? If you have sex voluntarily, you consent to the possibility of pregnancy. So yes, it IS very simple.

Using birth control = zero responsibility? Wow. Do you have a newsletter?

[–] deltreed@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's a percentage based precaution (efficacy). Even at 99%, it's not perfect. You take that 1% risk, as a responsible adult.

[–] ilost7489@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Shit happens. Condoms break and birth control fails. Let people make their own decisions instead of imposing your beliefs on them just to feel morally superior

[–] deltreed@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or you know, take responsibility. Every action has a consequence.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Right, so if somebody gets pregnant and doesn't want to be, they can take responsibility and get an abortion, and you can stay they hell out of their business. Problem solved.

[–] deltreed@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or not get pregnant. Everyone has a hand, but no one wants to use it.

I got a wave of Kamala activity in the past hour. Must be California coming home from protesting.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 0 points 19 hours ago

Everyone has a hand, but no one wants to use it.

Using that hand to dial a phone to schedule an appointment to get an abortion counts as not wanting to use it? I took responsibility when I paid for the abortion, like a gentleman should.

But nature says fuck! So we fuck!

[–] mukt@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Nature also says have kids, or go extinct.

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Which is why republicans and conservatives want it gone: they want you to have children.

New meat MUST be bred to feed the machine of infinite growth.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They want having children to be a woman's punishment for unapproved sex, and they want the kid (who had zero responsibility for creating that situation) to suffer through it along with her, with zero help so it's all as unpleasant as possible, cuz apparently that makes Baby Jesus smile. Fucking lunatics.

[–] AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago

At its core it's about population control. As the birth rate is falling capitalism needs bodies to keep the cogs turning.

They want you to have children, and they want you to do it before you're ready. They want you to be barely surviving so you can't afford to switch jobs or take time off. They want you too powerless to have any leverage over your ~~owner~~ employer.
