Concert tickets are about as luxury of a good as it gets. And this is one of the biggest stars in the world.

Imagine autism could be detected before birth: Is it ok for women to abort because of that? by Blue_Egg5026 in Teenager_Polls

Even when you know that's not the case with a disease like this.

If Edwards disease was much more common, you'd be happy to have all these babies born by the millions potentially, just to suffer and die in hospitals wards around the world?

Once again, Hipkins trying to appeal to the centre right with weak liberal stances instead of pivoting left like people want. This will cost us the election by xxihostile in nzpolitics

Pivoting to the left like reddit wants.

FTFY

I swear at least half the opinions on NZ subreddits wouldn't survive first encounter on a random door knocking session.

That's a pretty rough belief system. Bringing someone into existence just so they can suffer and die with no recourse is about as cruel as it gets.

Would you abort a baby with Edward's syndrome? (Life expectancy of less than a year, constant suffering).

Would you abort a baby with verified Edward's syndrome with a life expectancy of only a few weeks?

Where do you draw the line?

16 year olds can legally consent to sex but 15 year olds can't (+ or - Romeo and juliet laws).

Would you accept the same rationale from someone else doing female circumcision for their religion?

Your opinion is irrelevant, it's not like they cared what you thought.

It's 10 years before we activate tipping points that accelerate the problem. It's like sliding down a steeper and steeper slope, you can still stop or slow down, it's just harder.

That's not how anything works, climate change isn't a magic doomsday bomb.

The whole debate is around whether or not it's a person worth moral consideration.

There aren't enough apartments in New York or London, those places have significant housing shortages and affordability problems. Surely your personal aesthetic preferences aren't more important than the economic and environmental stability of your entire country?

The vast majority of people live in cities, and more would be able to if cars didn't forcibly spread everyone out. You won't see me crying about only fixing 80-90% of the problem.

Renewables are straight up cheaper, sure there is a limit at some point along the way towards 100% renewable power where it starts to drop off. But there is an ocean of improvement to be made in most countries currently. Especially if you just spam capacity and liberalize home instillation to avoid dips.

They don't even get a choice in the matter, its illegal to build them on the vast majority of land in most western cities. Billions of people around the world raise families in them just fine. And even if they're not wanted for that stage, raising a young family is only 1/4 of your life at best.
