[–] swlabr@awful.systems 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) Bonus points for the part where he rails against contraception and sex education in the appendix, because we all know what this is really about. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] maol@awful.systems 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Ah just like the prolife campaigner I argued with recently who said that in his* ideal world, abortion, contraception, and the morning-after pill would all be illegal. Apparently having an abortion is "irresponsible" because you're acting as if it's "someone else's problem". That really threw me for a loop. I mean, it's not like you can get someone else to have the abortion for you! He justified a contraception ban along the same lines - that people needed to accept the consequences of having sex, or something. I suggested to him that contraception was actually very effective at preventing abortions, and he frowned as if he couldn't understand what I was saying. *Yes, he was a cis man who has never been pregnant or made anyone else pregnant. Sure, what else would you expect? permalink fedilink source parent
