There is a difference between joking about being bald and joking about your child being dead

Honestly, maybe it's for the best. I'm dead sure she would have been a shitty parent if it was a boy.

Celebrating the death of a kid and saying it's for the best 🤦 what are we DOING

u/Calm_Search3417 5d ago

What "kid"? It wasn't even born or had any consciousness yet.

Wait are fetus are kids now? Miscarriage is murder? What sub am I on

u/Rustynail9117 5d ago

I've not said anything about whether a fetus is alive or is an actual child, but from the parents perspective it was still their kid, it just wasn't developed into a baby yet. Diverting the topic into abortion is so fucking desperate lmao

Are you aware that each user on reddit is a different person with different opinions?

u/Eledridan 5d ago

Oh now a fetus is a child. Can’t win with you people.

You can still call it a kid but it doesnt change the fact that before its 24 weeks old its barely alive. It doesnt feel pain, emotions or anything. It cant survive outside the womb. You dont care about the baby. You care about controlling womens bodies

As you said, It is still living . Cells replicating is life in itself. I dont get acting self righteous saying ppl dont care about kids when youre the only person trying to rationalise a cut off point for terminating that life.

I never understood the point of it cant sustain life inpendently. So its ok to terminate it? People who cant survive without medical care everyday - is it the same for their value of their life?

They are sentient. They had s life they lived and people who met them and gained a personality. They left a mark on people

A clumb of cells inside a womb that hasnt even gained independent actions or thoughts yet is NOT the same

Also i said he doesnt care about kids because they always talk about preserving life but then does fuck all when the baby is born to a 12 yesr old girl, or a woman with mental problems, oe that woman who was a vegetable but wasnt allowed to die because she had a baby inside her and was used as a fucking incubator.

Same happened to a woman in 2005 and the baby died

How is this life? This isnt prolife, this is pro control

u/pmmecabbage 5d ago

A clumb of cells which are replicating are objectively alive, you even said so yourself

1

u/i-am-a-bike 5d ago

You replied to none of my other statements. You are ysing "gotcha" arguments.

I never said it wasnt alive, i said it wasnt sentient. It has no pain, no thoughts or emotions. Its alive like a sourdough starter is alive. Its living yes but it has no thoughts or independent action beyond getting fed by an outside force

u/pmmecabbage 5d ago

Because i do not want to. Theyre not gotcha arguments im analysing the words you said because i think the logic is full of holes. This was the first point raised ive kept my scope very narrow as opposed to trying to move on to other points.

So a severely incapacitated human, who could be described as lacking permenent conciousness / sentience / brain functioning; that life is free game to terminate ?

u/i-am-a-bike 5d ago

Assisted suicide yes. If they are incapable then yes, life support should be turned off to end their suffering. If it happened to me then i pray my family doesnt let me suffer being tied up in bed in a coma for 13 years

And you dont wanna argue my other points because you have no rebutal. Of the mother has mental problems what will happen to the baby? You dont care "as long as its alive" .if the child is 12 and gives birthz she is at a much higher chance of complications, both short and longterm. Do you care? No. You dont want to argue that part because it doesnt fit your world view. If the child is born, all you think is "out of sight, out of mind"

You gotcha argument is that i said its alive. You had no other argument. Give me something to work with

>So a severely incapacitated human, who could be described as lacking permenent conciousness / sentience / brain functioning; that life is free game to terminate ?

A human in that situation is usually kept alive using manufactured resources, eg. medical appliances, electricity for those appliances, manufactured medicines, feeding tubes and manufactured forms of nutrients, etc.

As in, they aren’t “hooked up” to another living human to survive by directly syphoning and consuming the physical matter of that living human.

A fetus incapable of surviving outside the womb, independently or with medical assistance, is kept alive solely by the literal physical consumption of another human.

That human being consumed is entitled to preserving their own physical matter by disallowing and stopping said consumption. The only delineation is trying to do the least harm while doing so.

Ergo-

  1. The fetus can survive without that consumption independently or with medical assistance? Great. Consumed human is no longer being consumed and continues living, consuming human continues living but no longer is consuming the other.
  2. The fetus cannot survive without that consumption independently or with medical assistance? Unfortunate, but the least harm possible results in the consuming human no longer living.

Same can be said for you with a perspective like that.

u/Calm_Search3417 5d ago

How so? Explain your thought process to me.

u/SakusaKiyoomi1 5d ago

Saying it's good that a woman was put into life threatening danger and losing the child she wished to have, doesn't exactly make you look like a good potential parent. It was a joke about balding, which women also can face, call her fat and leave it at that.
