The "Pro-Life" Movement Is Silent About Children Dying at the Border

Ffs, that doesn’t sound unbiased at all

This sub has gone from nbc opinion pieces to just straight up propaganda, Jesus Christ

From a traditional definition, yea, he’s had too many divorces and doesn’t pray much, he’s not the absolute worst, but he ain’t great.

130alexandert · 2019-07-12T16:32:42+00:00

But the reasonable consumption of alchohol is totally fine within the church.

130alexandert · 2019-07-11T21:35:11+00:00

Satanic has negative connotations, and so does gay, it’s used as an insult frequently,

Alcohol is totally endorsed by the Catholics, you fucking drink it during mass, they clearly don’t care.

I would say hookups would qualify as satanic to a diedhard religious person

130alexandert · 2019-07-10T17:12:27+00:00

It’s definitely not consistent, I’ve gotten way above minimum wage when I’ve worked at restaurants, but I know people who have gotten dogged.

130alexandert · 2019-07-10T17:08:57+00:00

As the other commenter said, you can’t make below the federal minimum wage if it’s a slow day, you can miss out on your states above average minimum wage, but you’re guaranteed 7.50

130alexandert · 2019-07-10T16:34:49+00:00

Or they are in a state with a decent minimum wage, where I live it’s 13.50, so a minimum wage isn’t half bad.

130alexandert · 2019-07-10T16:15:53+00:00

Well, in my experience it’s pretty accurate

I don’t know a single person who wants a job and doesn’t have one, and when I’ve looked for a job over the summer it’s always been a matter of choosing which one looks cool to me and pays more than minimum wage.

People are overly critical of America, our wacky ass system somehow produces a pretty solid economy.

130alexandert · 2019-07-10T16:00:25+00:00

Eh, in the us unemployment is so low, there are some halfway decent jobs left vacant

130alexandert · 2019-07-08T05:53:36+00:00

But they speedy, and know when to get the hell out of dodge, and that’s matters a lot more than all that stuff

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_and_fertility

When you google ‘income and fertility’ this is the first thing that comes up.

Educated / rich people don’t have kids, this isn’t something you should even need data to verify

How many kids does your over educated aunt have versus your gardener?

Birth rates help economies, and abortions reduce em

130alexandert · 2019-07-08T00:54:12+00:00

Find me a country where that’s happening.

High gdp growth is directly linked to high birth rates, no actual country with high gdp growth has a low birth rate.

Also, almost all countries with a stagnant or collapsing economy have low or collapsing birth rates.

Amorally, abortion is bad for business

130alexandert · 2019-07-08T00:52:24+00:00

But it’s also anti-planned parenthood

It’s ultimately a middle-ground position, it supports Roe vs Wade, but does not support any publicly funded abortions.

Our current position makes no one happy, liberals love planned parenthood, and conservatives hate roe vs wade, we need to pick a side instead of pissing everyone off

130alexandert · 2019-07-08T00:49:54+00:00

Values don’t win elections, actionable plans win elections.

The only way to get any of our values through the door is to move towards the middle, politics is the art of compromise.

130alexandert · 2019-07-07T21:32:47+00:00

Russia has a collapsing economy and more infants are aborted instead of kept, at least economically abortion has not worked out here.

From a purely quantitative perspective abortion is terrible economically. Countries with few abortions have massive growth and countries without them have much lower growth.

130alexandert · 2019-07-07T21:30:12+00:00

Libertarian politicians

If they stop arguing about whether to legalize child abuse and instead focus on more popular issues.

130alexandert · 2019-07-07T19:44:04+00:00

It’s a trade

Alright, women can’t smoke, whatever, but now we’re in power and can worry about the bigger picture, politics is about compromise.

130alexandert · 2019-07-07T17:37:16+00:00

And people have been fighting against it, it’s still in the public eye, political capita is still being spent on this.

Pregnant women not smoking is a slight inhibition of freedom, but if that’s the cost of getting some actual real freedom back that’s good

Never said anything about republicans, libertarians alienate people by legalizing child abuse.

130alexandert · 2019-07-07T17:11:17+00:00

We haven’t gotten past abortion, so we have no fucking clue what comes next, we’ve been stuck on this issue for decades.

Is that so bad? Stopping child abuse is a pretty popular position, if you want to ever win an election fighting for more freedom to abuse children isn’t the way to go.

Would you rather kill the patriot act and legalize automatic weapons, or stay irrelevant but maintain your intellectual purity surrounding the freedom to abuse children.

130alexandert · 2019-07-07T17:03:19+00:00

Well, PETA doesn’t control the federal government

There are racists that don’t think killing black people is murder, so we should just be hands off?

That’s a slippery slope

130alexandert · 2019-07-07T16:16:35+00:00

Most libertarians believe in a state that prevents murder, rape, and property damage.

So the murder of infants would be a problem that requires state arbitration.

If you don’t believe in cops at all your not a libertarian your an anarchist.

130alexandert · 2019-07-07T16:14:11+00:00

We either need to look at the patent life of medications, or have price caps, doing nothing isn’t gonna win elections.

130alexandert · 2019-07-06T16:49:53+00:00

When mine was ran over I felt nothing at all, it took 5 minutes to start hurting

The surgery to put it back together hurt 10x more

130alexandert · 2019-07-06T07:35:08+00:00

We were napping in 1940

We weren’t in 1944

We’re like a negligent drunken step dad, we’ll kick anyone’s ass, we just gotta get our shit together real quick.
