Pro Life / Pro Choice Debate

Lucasfilm came after a brewery for using a stormtrooper. Are they cool with this?
 
the worst part about those March for Life fucks (other than giving more Sandmans a platform) is how they just leave their signs everywhere. I used to live next to Stanton Park which is a big gathering spot for marchers on the Hill and there would just be hundreds of signs on the ground everywhere and inventively it would rain and make a damn mess.
 
a bunch of Sandmans in the making looking for their payday too

Meh not sure about this. Maybe some in there. I think it’s more to Shoo’s point that these kids live in a conservative bubble and believe what their parents believe or are taught in theology class, and they truly believe abortion is murder, not really thinking for themselves. I think they’re just going with the crowd on a school trip to DC (no class!), not to mention that their brains aren’t fully formed yet.

Re: catholic schools. Jesuit schools teach social justice across the board. I have friends who went to Jesuit schools and never heard anything from them about abortion. It was always about volunteering in lower income schools/communities and helping the least of us. And Jesuit schools I saw had a good mix of rich white kids and lower income kids on partial scholarship. I think jesuits educate appropriately but I could be wrong.
 
Flying to DC this morning. There’s about 50 boys from a Catholic Boys school heading to the March For Life wearing these hoodies.

Hard to imagine being so excited to take away someone’s rights that you make a sweatshirt.

Are you ok? Have they hurt you?

My thoughts are with you as you undertake this challenging journey to DC.

Catholic schools also teach actual science and not creationism. On a scale of 1-to-crazy, I am far less concerned about Catholic schools than about the Evangelical/fundamentalist ones.

What school were these kids from? PH said Catholic. Wasn't Covington Catholic?
 
Was Yoda's mom really considering having an abortion ?

Who knew ?!
 
How dare they sully Baby Yoda's good name with that BS? I love when conservatives whine about colleges indoctrinating kids with liberal ideas. There is no greater indoctrination of conservative bullshit than organized Christianity and Christian schools, and at a younger, more susceptible age. It's a cancer.

:heart:

Col anus supports co-opting someone else's intellectual property for their own reasons. Definitely don't need to get permission and pay to use that licensing.
 
Because this thread was bumped, seems a good enough place to put this paper. They looked at a cohort of women who wanted an abortion but were denied one, and compared them to a similar cohort of women who were just before the gestational limit and thus able to get an abortion. Despite similar levels of financial distress at baseline, there was a significant increase in financial problems for those denied an abortion that persisted out to at least 6 years. Unpaid bills, bankruptcies, liens, and evictions increase by 80%.

Paper: https://www.nber.org/papers/w26662 (probably paywalled?)

Overview: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mille/TurnawayPP.pdf


If a goal is for fewer women with unplanned pregnancies to choose abortion, we need policies to help make sure keeping the baby isn't such a financial hardship.

I think the goal is to try and make sure Jesus isn't mad at America when he returns. I don't think conservatives care about the mothers or the babies, just about what Jesus probably thinks.
 
One of the great, consistent flaws in the GOP's abortion argument is that all of their care and concern for the baby and mother mysteriously seems to vanish the moment the child is born. After that, it's survival of the fittest. Doesn't sound very pro-life, but there it is.

I think we are all well aware that babies are born with boots -- here's an enormous picture of definitely my son Jobin wearing his -- and should take some fucking personal responsibility to pull themselves up with the straps on those boots. #poursomeoutforjhmd

Abortion: When will we as a country wake up to the truth?

Jesus strick. You look like RJ on his anti-Bernie crusade.

I mean, if the Biden crew is gonna pretend like this stuff doesn’t exist while “dunking” on Sanders with shit like Cuba comments and disingenuous comments about democratic socialism, then I’m going to remind them that their candidate had some unfortunate positions on anti-segregation legislation, abortion access and reproductive rights, mass incarceration and police accountability measures, endless war in the Middle East, and conservative justices. It’s not my fault they won’t reconcile these positions with their support. Ph and RJ, especially, have literally posted self-righteously 10s of thousands of times about all of these issues and now they’re embracing the guy who has consistently held opposite positions of him because he’s electable.

I guess conservative posters like Junebug, Wrangor, and jhmd weren’t so bad after all, eh guys?
