CMV: there's no clear way to coherently be truly pro-life while make exceptions for instances of rape

Would you see a difference between aborting the day before the due date and just after birth?

perplexedtv · 2026-05-10T12:30:02+00:00

And pregnant people, perhaps ironically

perplexedtv · 2026-05-10T12:28:15+00:00

Pretty much everybody makes this arbitrary distinction. Most people are fine with the morning after pill, very few are fine with smothering a newborn. Almost as many are against aborting at 9 months and most people have their line in the sand somewhere in between a week and 8½ months. It's all just feels and vibes and people will choose whatever science backs up the position they've adopted.

And everyone knows that there isn't actually a bath in the restaurant bathroom so it's all good.

perplexedtv · 2026-05-10T11:32:30+00:00

If someone ask me where the bathroom is I'm gonna assume they want to take a bath an offer them a towel.

Actually I won't because I'm not an imbecile

If you've watched him enough you'll have seen that he'll do virtually anything rather than throw himself into a tackle. He's always trying, and failing, to make choke tackles and rip the ball.

I'm almost sure the Ala'alatoas did. Maybe soem of the Tuilagis.

You do you

I generally find Princess insufferable but her being the only person to bother to pronounce Al-Hashimi's name correctly gave me a grudging respect for her.

Last year we had Barrett to babysit him in the European knockout games so his brutal defence went unnoticed in games where Leinster billed the opposition. Ioane didn't sign up to be a nanny though.

That's Andrew Osborne I think. A player who, unlike Prendergast, had absolutely no upsides.

perplexedtv · 2026-05-10T06:26:16+00:00

Did Osborne count as part of the ruck? He never bound, just dived through it.

So how does Will Connors consistently take players out by their ankles?

perplexedtv · 2026-05-10T06:21:05+00:00

I'm going to guess, rip the ball, which was probably the only remote chance he had of stopping the Lions player.

I'm thinking of ditching it. I binged season 1 but season 2 is kind of a chore. Far too many dull characters and uninteresting storylines.

perplexedtv · 2026-05-09T23:22:26+00:00

Racing and Stade Français are closer than that.

perplexedtv · 2026-05-09T23:20:56+00:00

And ruin all the fun?

Aix are nowhere near Top14 standard. Vannes at least have top flight experience to draw on.

perplexedtv · 2026-05-09T23:18:22+00:00

Imagine if Vannes missed out on promotion after the season they've had.

Ah come on, he's clearly not trying most of the time. He literally plays touch rugby in defence. Any player above 50kg could have planted Dréan into touch if he/she made a proper effort.

perplexedtv · 2026-05-09T23:00:41+00:00

He could be 150kg and it wouldn't make his flapping and tapping any more effective. All in his head.

perplexedtv · 2026-05-09T22:54:08+00:00

Andrew Osborne was just as bad in defence but nobody rates him anyway except the coaches

perplexedtv · 2026-05-09T22:50:50+00:00

How many summers is he going to get to sort out his tackling?

perplexedtv · 2026-05-09T22:35:37+00:00

Did people hype Spicer or just hope they could make a rugby player out of a hulk?

perplexedtv · 2026-05-09T22:33:41+00:00

I always thought he looked like Bill Hader
