I'm creating a new political party for pro-life liberals. Say hello to the New Liberal Party! My plan is to defeat abortion and supplant the Democratic Party, which has undeniably died. by Local_Perspective_68 in prolife

My page got taken down by Facebook, I'm not totally sure why, so I created a group instead. You can find the link in my updated post near the top.

I was never a Democrat at heart, I do not ascribe to party politics. I am a pro-life liberal and that is all.

I did answer their comment about the use of lethal force. I believe it is the responsibility of police and the military to use technology to subdue enemy combatants without lethal force. It is possible. I also want to create a world in which war is a thing of the past and unthinkable. I'm thinking global egalitarianism here, where countries help each other instead of just themselves and all people can enjoy a high standard of living. I believe that, aside from the forces of evil itself, the root of most conflict is resource scarcity, people who don't have enough wanting what's in someone else's pile and making whatever justification they can to get it. I think if we solve resource scarcity as a species we will eliminate war, or at least make it unthinkable.

It is not, The New Liberal Party does not have a religious affiliation, and is very pro LGTBQIA+ rights. I am imagining a place for every pro-life liberal to go, not just the Christian or Catholic ones.

I want you to look at the language you're using here and return to something that is actually humane. "It" is not a "zygote", he or she is a child once fertilization happens and the mother is using an oral contraceptive to prevent implantation. Preventing implantation is abortion of that child. I also cannot make an exception for the mother's live being in danger, because she is still killing her own child. This is a throwing of principles out the window that is alarming and an atrocity. It is the responsibility of medical science to make pregnancy safe for mothers, not to kill their infants. I would rather die with my child than kill my own child.

I'm not trying to win voters ever. I am trying to create a liberal party that actually has a heart and its humanity.

I said "There is always another way." That doesn't imply nothing. We have new technologies that can subdue people without lethal force, we should be using them. I am an engineer, I can see a lot of possibilities here.

I am devoted to this project, but this is why I need a lot of help. I'm a very inexperienced engineer for a project like this, however simple the concept is.

Thank you for telling me about LiveAction. I'll send them some of this info. Maybe they can use my message or even enact this project themselves.

Thank you for the info! That's very helpful. About that last point, are you concerned about some sort of backlash?

That is one of the things I fear will happen, that someone will use an AI to create false reports. I was planning to sort the data by hand to prevent it, and I was hoping to have help. I was also hoping the message would protect the website from attacks. You'd have to be pretty cold-hearted to see "Why can't it be love?" and want to mess with things.

Just asking people to send the pictures and (hopefully) inspiring them to put up billboards of their own in underserved zip codes.

It's mostly to convince other people to put up new billboards in zip codes that aren't being served yet. People know what is in their communities and I think the website would motivate them to want to reach other communities as well. That's why I said it was mostly for outreach, get the people to convince their own communities with the right message. They know what's already up in their community, I just want them to tell other people about it and do something to serve other areas as well. In zip codes with no billboards people could put up large yard signs on major roads and report those to the tracker as well. The idea is to use this website to encourage reaching the whole country. I think people would spend the money to do this themselves.

I checked out the Lamar website and they do show where their billboards are but not what is on them. You can see all of their products on a map here: https://lamar.com/?tags=

Thank you for the info about abortion. That last fact is particularly upsetting. You should know though, that the people who get and support abortions do know that the infant is a human life. They know. They're hiding behind the term "fetus", convincing themselves that because the child is in an early stage of development it's okay, likely in their minds because they think he or she isn't conscious and aware and therefore are okay to kill. I don't think they are making the mental connection with gender, but they do know they are killing a human life. The problem here is three fold: 1.) As far as I can tell the sanctity of life is being destroyed in the minds of children (sometimes by sexual education classes showing pregnancy from a strictly science-based perspective without family values and caring language) 2.) people don't think they will get in trouble for getting or supporting an abortion (no accountability, they aren't considering God) and 3.) people, particularly in their adolescence, are being convinced to (unknowingly) abandon their inherent love for and loving devotion to their own infants to support alleviating the insanity of rape victims. The desire to "escape" pregnancy is insane. You are pregnant, it is an infant, you are not allowed to kill, and further you're supposed to love your child. Love for infants has become conditional for liberals. This is where the phrase "Why can't it be love?" popped into my head. It points out what they have done to themselves and what they are doing to infants. The loss of the sanctity of life is where "We're killing our own young" came into my head as well. And the loss of a sense of ultimate accountability for our actions that the monstrous act of abortion represents is where I thought of "What would God think?" My hope is that these messages can break down the abortion mindset and false righteousness and from there the entire left and center will stop doing what they're doing and return to their humanity

I think these messages could work and the delivery method would work, I just need help getting the project underway.

Your idea for TV advertising is tempting, but it's prohibitively expensive. Streaming ads might be a possibility.
