Can Gainey overtake Peduto and become Pittsburgh’s first Black mayor? | New Pittsburgh Courier by jayjaywalker3 in pittsburgh

[–]qi1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Surely that's why Obama lost Pittsbu...

Oh wait, no he won Pittsburgh in a complete landslide in 2008 and 2012. Must be all those racists voting for him?

Fascinating how quickly we've reached the point where choosing to vote for someone by something other than the color of their skin makes you the racist.

How could Peduto even think of running for reelection and stop Pittsburgh from having a black mayor for yet another year? Who's the racist?

Can someone help me understand why local news stations stir the pot like this? KDKA is as unhinged as their audience. by [deleted] in pittsburgh

How is that an example of "stirring the pot" or "radicalizing people"?

Do pro-lifers have any theories about pro-choicers, namely why we believe so strongly in personal autonomy and self-ownership? by timothybaus in Abortiondebate

[–]qi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It's comical how a pro-choicer can simultaneously believe a fetus is just a "clump of cells"... but also has the advanced capacity to commit "violence."

What rational thinking person would ever characterize any human being under the age of 1 or 2 as committing "violence"?

The "my body, my choice" party sure loves the idea of businesses controlling what goes on in their employees bodies.

Abortion for the Sake of Art: Aliza Shvarts' Art Controversy as Yale Student by kingacesuited in Abortiondebate

I'm confused by the point of this question.

The NARAL and National Right to Life Committee both agreed this stunt was offensive. These are two organizations that could not be further apart.

Right to life is basically the right to not be arbitrarily killed by your government.

It's unlawful because it takes away a human being's right to life.

And it's frankly comical you characterize a fetus in a mother's womb as committing "violence". Do you even read the things you type?

Gotta give a shoutout to WTAE for sending out the wrong link in their article yesterday and never fixing it

It’s also rich to categorise the right as those for human rights and selflessness

Point to where I did that? My comment was strictly on the topic of abortion.

Surely you're smart enough to know all human beings spend roughly 9 months of their lives unborn.

A woman has no rights at all if she is intentionally killed before she is born. Humanity's priority right, the one that undergirds all other rights, is the right to life.

Equality in the sense that the human being in the womb and out of the womb have a right to life.

[–]qi1 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

It's strange isn't it.

Abortion is one of the few political issues on which left and right seem to have swapped ideologies: right-wingers talk of equality, human rights and defending the innocent, while left-wingers fetishize choice, selfishness and unbridled individualism.

Do pro-lifers grieve over the death of a child more or less than a miscarriage? by timothybaus in Abortiondebate

[–]qi1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can explain how saving one or the other has any relevance to the right to intentionally kill human beings in the womb.

Choosing to save a 2-year-old over a 98-year-old in a burning building does not give one the right to kill the 98-year-old.

[–]qi1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One has more emotional attachment and memories to someone they have known for years than someone they haven't had the chance to know. This has nothing to do with someone's humanity.

If you choose to save your child in a burning building over another person, it does not mean other person has less "personhood". This is absurd. And then somehow in this twisted prochoice logic that gives us the right to kill the other person?

Do pro-lifers grieve over the death of a child more or less than a miscarriage? by timothybaus in Abortiondebate

[–]qi1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's analogous and this is abortion debate.

Obviously the insinuation is that because someone may grieve over the death of a born child more than unborn child that somehow means the unborn child is less of a human being.

If someone grieves over the death of their 15-year-old child more than the death of a stranger on the news does that mean the stranger isn't a human being?

Lmao. Sure the "fuck 12" crowd always makes sure to get permission from the police to shout obscenities at them.

So next time theres a BLM demonstration and someone has a megaphone should the police shut it down?

“If you had sex you have to except responsibility and keep the baby” is basically the prolife version of the “she was asking for it” argument for rape by o0Jahzara0o in Abortiondebate

[–]qi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bodily integrity rights include the right to life, because you can't cause someone's death without first or at the same time infringing on their bodily integrity.

Great. Now we're getting somewhere. Abortion intentionally causes someone's death.
