To fight against your misleading propaganda.
Do these children live in happy, healthy homes?
...or are they resented every day by their parents that were forced to have them, slowly building up childhood trauma that, by all studies on the topic, will never be resolved and will always plague them?
...or are they forced into the already-overburdened foster system, where children are regularly abused and neglected? Oh, and just to be clear, you're aware that Texas has among the most crowded systems in the country, right?
Ohhhh sorry, I forgot you're all just pro-birth instead of pro-life.
So, what, kill everyone who can't live in a healthy home?
This mindset is insane and it's so weird that people who hold it act like they have the moral high ground or something.
But forcing people to have kids they don't want is a moral high ground?
Rape isn't part of the pro life platform, nor is the abolition of the adoption process.
I'm pretty sure he's advocating for eugenics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics
(...) set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population.
Does that definition appear to fit what you just read in that other comment ?
Do you not understand why eugenics is bad? You know what, here, this article does a better job of explaining it than I ever could. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1129063/ And for good measure, a reddit post too, why not? https://www.reddit.com/r/philosophy/comments/mhk16/why_is_eugenics_wrong/
Thanks for the documentation, it's always appreciated. Now you can try rereading my comment
IDK if eugenics is the word for it but he's certainly advocating for...something interesting
They're indirectly advocating for classism and suggesting that the "undesirables" aren't worthy of life, and/or can't attain personal or economic value.
It's really fucking weird when you think about it. Like, pick a lane.
It's weird, to be sure, and maybe I'm being pedantic, but genocide refers specifically to genetics and that doesn't seem to be why most of the people here support abortion. Pro-abortion arguments are usually ageist or ableist rather than genocidal.
