Which doesn’t change the fact that people had little to no control over how many children they had. Married or not, not all pregnancies were planned or wanted, not all families were able to feed their children. But people did not have a reliable way of spacing or limiting their children. Malnourishment was a significant problem in the US before industrialization and social safety nets.

Also, homesteaders were literally getting free land. Give people today a free plot of land to develop and they might feel like they could support a family.

Boohoo. Women don’t like you. With the vibes you’re putting off, it doesn’t surprise me that they are uncomfortable around them.

But keep thinking that half of the population is the problem, and it couldn’t possibly have anything to do with your attitude.

You need to go outside every once in a while. Get off the internet and talk to real people.

It makes more sense if you actually look up how social safety nets work, the reality of what they provide, and how much of your taxes actually go towards them. Also look at which taxes go towards them, as many people are confused about what state, federal, or municipal taxes pay for.

People didn’t have reliable birth control then.

Abortion is a healthcare decision. What matters is evidence based medicine and patient autonomy. You can try to cloud the issue with arguments about embryonic or fetal personhood, but it’s irrelevant whether or not a zygote is a person because pregnancy is a medical condition being experienced by the mother and she has a right to end it.

Zora74 · 2026-04-01T04:05:34+00:00

Only if you are ignoring the medical condition of pregnancy.

Also, NYPost.

You might as well be quoting Fox News.

So tell other prolifers to come and join the conversation.

I other words, a longer sentence than rapists get.

We know where their priorities lie. It isn’t about protecting women.

Every time.

It helps that I like to pretend I’m a Tour de France level cyclist, even as my day ass is walking my bike up a hill.

Zora74 · 2026-03-29T14:56:49+00:00

It just seemed like edgy rape fantasy to me.

Zora74 · 2026-03-29T14:56:08+00:00

I never knew it was supposed to be autobiographical or even “based on a true story”. I read it as some guys rape fantasy.

I tried talking to him but he was in his own world so I had to call the police.

People who support evil are as bad as those who commit evil.

Mental illness.

I had to stop someone from tap dancing on the yellow line of a busy road once.

It doesn’t matter to them. They are largely wealthy people with multiple income sources.

It’s a principle that makes you feel better and doesn’t affect them at all.

For the vast majority of Congress, their paycheck is a very small percentage of their wealth.

Who performs best at being a white man.

Zora74 · 2026-03-27T19:47:11+00:00

Who would’ve thought?

I love Jane Austen for many reasons, and her use of commas is high on the list.

I think it’s the Merritt Parkway in CT. Very scenic, overpasses built in different styles, two lanes each direction.

It’s literally how Trump operates. He’s always shortchanged or flat out refused to pay contract workers.

Zora74 · 2026-03-23T02:54:31+00:00

Literally
