What if conservative teachers taught Critical Abortion Theory to their students?

@WuWei

But calling it racism is counterproductive and diminishes actual racism.

Of course calling everything racism is necessary to keep racism alive.

Fully agree. I see your point.

Wouldn’t paid family leave be a good way to incentivize people to choose carrying a baby to term rather than having an abortion?

If people knew they would be supported-hopefully by family as well as by - policies in the nation they live in, and helped with the task of raising a child, I would think abortions would be less frequent.

Also more or less a nit but isn’t this why discrimination against Jews has its own name - antisemitism?

Because being Jewish can be a religious statement or an ethnic statement?

I read it once. That was more than enough for one lifetime.

I think I was 17 at the time. I read The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital not long after that.

About that, who pays it?

Although Jewish people aren’t the only Semites, I think that would be more accurate.

I’d support a hike on my taxes if it helped people have fewer abortions and a better early motherhood.

Would you?

Lol I’m a critical thinker who only deal in objective facts, except when I have to defend the state of Texas’s government no matter what they do even though I don’t believe in the concept of community except when it’s the government of Texas which I’m extremely touchy about even though I have nothing to do with it personally and again, I don’t believe in any community beyond the individual.

Same people who pay for tanks, planes and guns.

No.

[Guvnah]

@WuWei

No.

Correct.

But I welcome employers to make their own decisions on whether or not to offer that as a benefit.

[tnt]

That would be preferable but for the people who need it most it’s just not happening.

So now what?

Cool assertion.

@tnt

YOU pay for it.

Government isn’t the answer.

Absolutely.

Nobody “needs” it.

No Need for tax hike. Take the money from military budget. Just 1-2% of that would be plenty.

[tnt]

Yeah. Good point.

[tnt]

Do you advocate for the outlawing of abortion?

[tnt]

Needs paid maternity leave? A single mother or low income family living pay check to pay check do.

How would someone leaving like that be able to pay the rent if they have a baby and need a few weeks to recover?

[WuWei]

No business having a baby.
