Pro life people fascinate me. Recently learned my brother is pro life, so I sat down with him and explained how for me, specifically, pregnancy is guaranteed to carry complications which would result in either the fetus or me dying anyways and I asked him which seems like the better option

His answer was not to get pregnant in the first place. Well duh, I'm on birth control but even with a condom and a birth control shit can happen, no matter how unlikely. He still refused to budge on his opinion, because "if abortion is legal people will want to abort kids u until birth and eventually after birth"

Abortion is legal in our country up to three months, unless complications ofcourse. That line has not moved up, and it's been there for a good while.

Then he said our population is dying and we need to procreate. Told him to go make some kids then. He's 30 and without a partner nor children - if we need to procreate so badly then get to it. But noooooo, he does not want children. Everyone else must have them, just not him.

Used to really look up to him. Don't think I do anymore.

The lack of empathy is disgusting. "Some of you may die..but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make"
