I was aiming at the national level. We refuse to do many things for kids, but by god will people flip out over abortion.

If abortions hurt more women then they helped they'd be mandatory.

Abortions hurt women. They just convince themselves that the fetus is not their kid so they don't have to do deal with the cognitive dissonance.

I'm pretty sure child birth hurts more than an abortion

Unmedicated, sure. With the epidural...nope. Abortion hurts more. My wife had 3 miscarriages, 3 births all C setions. She said the D&Cs were the worst thing in the world.

Google what a D&C is.

I’m a woman, I know what it is.
Edit to add: yes, a d and c would be much more painful than a c section. But neither you or your wife had childbirth through the canal, so I really don’t feel either of you could have an opinion on that.

Technically, until a certain trimester, the fetus isn't a living being.

Those are the political meaning. If you don't get that abortion, that fetus will be a human being. You are taking action that stops your body from producing a child.

I don't feel that as a man I can tell a woman to get an abortion or not. IT is their body, they can do as they wish.

I know what you were trying to do. I'm expressing my disgust for your political tactics

u/Lystian Sep 12 '26

Eh, Im not saying thats my view, but the nations. Thats clearly sarcasm.

And that's just how our country sadly is. If it wasnt children wouldn't go hungry and without basic needs when society can meet those needs. Waiting children to be taken care of isn't political, it is a basic requirement of how society should function. Hell even animals can do that.

I'm probably pretty much your ally politically. We likely agree far more than not. I agree with your sentiments. I disagree with your tactics. As someone who wants these political ideas to win, I urge you to stop hamfisting them in, especially when the plain facts can be so easily used against you.

except, the sentiment isn't the same across the nation.
