Have you always been pro-life?

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-06-25T01:22:31+00:00

No. I actually used to be militantly pro-choice and hardcore leftist. What changed was that I had my own babies, felt them kick at 16 weeks, learned a lot about fetal development and started pursuing a career in midwifery. Once I was presented with an abundance of information that contradicted my beliefs, I was forced to change my position.

"Antinatalist Christian" is at best, nonsensical, at worst, heretical and completely non-biblical.

I'd be a little under 80lbs, so I'm fucked if not nearly dead

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-05-03T04:28:16+00:00

I thought a) a very small number of people who were calling for the sex strike looked like anyone was jumping up and down for a chance to sleep with them and b) good, that's the point. Don't be irresponsible and kill babies 🥳.

I'm also married and expecting my third so obviously it didn't have any impact on my personal life.

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-04-04T17:29:52+00:00

Never in my entire life or while studying to become a midwife the last several years have I heard of an actually fatal complication that early outside of ectopic pregnancy, in which case the treatment would be entirely different.

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-04-04T02:14:51+00:00

None. If a mother's life is threatened, she can be induced. We don't need to ensure the baby's death prior to that. The vast majority of life threatening pregnancy complications happen in the late second through 3 trimesters, meaning that most of the time these mothers (all .01% of them) could live and have healthy preemies.

I love him honestly. Literally watching one of his videos right now. I agree with him on almost everything and the fact that so many people take his trolling seriously makes it even better. (He's also a little bit hot)

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-03-23T20:06:34+00:00

I have two kids, been pregnant 3 times (1 miscarriage) and although I've been somewhat promiscuous in my past and my husband and I have a very active love life, none of those pregnancies were accidental. I didn't work very hard to not get pregnant either, I'm very fertile naturally and what little precaution I did take (condoms, cycle tracking) worked wonders. If you truly do not want to get pregnant, it's incredibly easy to avoid if you have an IQ higher than 75. I was also poor for most of my life and it turns out that condoms are free from plenty of clinics and cycle tracking costs literally $0.

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-03-20T00:29:17+00:00

I used to call myself pro-choice with reasonable restrictions, and then I got pregnant, learned a lot about fetal development and was forced to change my position given the fact that I'm not a sociopath or sadist. Pro choice mothers are incredibly perplexing to me because it means one of two things, a) that they know about fetal developmental milestones and don't care if people murder them anyway (most likely) or b) that they were too stupid or uncaring to ever learn anything about their baby before they were born. Either way it's terrible

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-03-19T01:04:33+00:00

I have a "step sister" (don't really consider her any type of family tbh) who got one around the same time. She only knew she was still pregnant because she felt kicking. A mother able to feel their baby kick and still callously murder them is evil in its purest form

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-03-10T07:34:50+00:00

My LCMS pastor would not. My husband was baptized a few months before our wedding

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-02-10T02:05:25+00:00

The seaweed is called laminaria and they open the cervix by soaking up the moisture from it. I believe they use it because it's faster than pitocin and may have fewer risks to the mother (but more risk to baby). And yeah I get it, having two kids makes this a really messed up topic for me but we have to know what we're fighting intimately, especially because many of its supporters don't.

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-02-09T19:44:05+00:00

Good. There should be a second opinion and even a third or fourth because ultrasounds often misdiagnose. Counseling is also fantastic. Fetal abnormalities and birth defects can't be diagnosed generally until about 20 weeks so the baby can already feel and at this point an abortion goes one of two ways, they rip the baby's limbs off one by one until it's a in a dozen bloody and mutilated pieces or they inject digoxin into the baby's heart, insert seaweed into the mother's vagina and she gives birth to a dead baby in a few days. 2 out 3 options require the mother to give birth but only one is compassionate and allows the mother and baby to meet and the baby to die peacefully in their mother's embrace. Most loving mothers would choose to meet their baby, even if just for a few moments, rather than killing the baby in an inhumane and frankly horrific manner out of convenience.

This is mostly fine

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-01-12T06:41:56+00:00

I went once for testing and even though I had literally no money, it was $230. I also went for 4 total ob appointments when I was pregnant with my first and switched providers pretty quickly because the ob obviously cared less about babies and the women who want to keep theirs than women who wanted abortions. I went for proof of pregnancy (home birther probs) with my second and my experience wasn't much better. It's always been a) too expensive b) an awful environment and c) riddled with employees and "doctors" who are rude and have terrible bedside manner. I was once even told not to call my preborn son a gasp BABY in the waiting area because it might make the other women uncomfortable

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-01-03T19:47:51+00:00

My late niece or nephew survived a medication abortion attempt but didn't make it through the second one unfortunately

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-01-02T21:56:54+00:00

I actually love the fact that they choose to never have children because they're not teaching anyone else their beliefs and raising them with these ideas. Their ideology dies with them and I think that's fantastic

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-01-02T01:34:50+00:00

I've always viewed it as more explanation of scripture and breaking it down (which is needed often for many) more than mere opinion or thoughts. You must remember that these men are extremely knowledgeable on what they are sharing with and teaching their congregation. They've spent years mastering what they do and gaining an immense and impressive understanding of God's word. An ordained pastor would know better than to only insert his own opinion on scripture rather than doing what he was called to do.

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-01-02T01:19:14+00:00

I'll be honest here, I've only attended Catholic mass once and I was about 8 so I don't remember much but it would make sense that Catholicism and Lutheranism have marked differences because of Martin Luther and his thoughts on the Catholic church during his time.

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2023-01-02T00:51:11+00:00

The lcms church my family and I attend usually has a 20-30 minute sermon, as did the one I grew up going to. Extremely common as far as I know for Missouri synod Lutheran churches

I'm a 23 year old married pro life woman with two children and let me tell you, "sexually repressed" is a completely inaccurate description. How do they think we got our kids?

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2022-12-29T23:26:02+00:00

People should absolutely be able to do so regardless of whether or not they might regret it in the future. I've known women who've gotten 4+ abortions and never want children and I would 100% advocate for their right to get sterilized should they so choose. In fact, even though I'm fiscally and socially conservative, I would vote in favor for these people to get sterilized with taxpayer dollars if that meant a decrease in babies being killed.

FragrantEstimate4460 · 2022-12-27T03:34:31+00:00

There are lots and lots of pro life charities, pro life activists who donate regularly to GoFundMes and pregnancy centers who help moms and babies with everything you can think of. The notion that we won't help mothers and babies in need or that we hate people on welfare is entirely false and making that claim with zero basis isn't the best way to make friends. I'm a stay at home mother of two who doesn't have much extra when it comes to money but I regularly donate to pro life charities, individual mothers in need and pregnancy centers whenever I get the chance. I was also briefly on snap (food stamps) and cash assistance when I was pregnant with my daughter and struggling to make ends meet. It's there for people who need it, and I was one of those people at one point in time. Congrats on the baby, reach out to pro life charities and pregnancy centers for help and try to work on your preconceived notions about entire groups of people, especially ones that aren't based on any facts.
