ideally, if abortion is going to be LITERALLY OUTLAWED™ we should put focus on sex education and dialogue between parents and their teens about sex and get resources for teens that might be like kicked out or something if they get pregnant and supporting them. because let's be honest, our sex education sucks dick and the general culture is that sex is some taboo thing that teenagers shouldn't be thinking about so we fucking repress it which of course just makes it worse :)

@fightknightHERO @dave more black babies get aborted in New York than get born

@dave I'm pro-life morally with some moral-based exceptions like rape, but pro-choice legally because, just like drugs and guns, the more regulation gets put on them, the more dangerous they become.

I'm not a huge fan of the federal government having power, so any measure to give power back to the states is a good one as long as it doesn't diminish our natural rights such as the right to bare arms or the right to speak freely. To be clear, abortion is not a natural right; there is nothing natural about abortion. Speaking and protecting yourself to the fullest extent are both natural rights.

If man cannot speak, he must fight to be able to speak. If man cannot fight, he can only kneel and be succumbed to slavery. If woman cannot get abortions, she must... not have sex that will lead to pregnancy....? It's not a natural right. I believe you have the natural right to bare children, not destroy them.

To add to that, because I heard they were also thinking of taking away gay marriage being protected federally, legal marriage is also not a fundamental, natural right. Leave it to the states to decide what is best for their own people, because New York is drastically different than Idaho. For that reason, the federal government should not be putting wide, blanket laws down on literally the most diverse country in the world.

All that considered then, I'm glad they repealed it. I want the federal government to have less power. I want the power to be given back to the states, unless, as I said, it deals with unalienable natural rights. I'm certain my state would uphold those, but many states already don't.

@VTArgyle gura fan seems like a genuine person while shion fan sounds like they watched too much death note, wear a fedora, and have at least one katana in their room. My eyes were burning trying to read it.

I was a leftist up until I was like 19 years old then went pretty hard conservative for a few years and ended up somewhere around libertarian/anarchy and just not giving a shit about what label I actually had. Hell up until a few years ago I would have told you that I thought abortion should be totally outlawed. I'm 26 right now. People that can't change or take in new info have a serious case of social programming going on and should probably reassess what it is they actually believe, what they have been told to believe, and if what they believe is only that way because they want to fit in and appear relatively "normal." Personally, that's where a huge source of my depression came from, that dissonance between what I did believe and what beliefs would make things the easiest for me.

Topical song from your favorite Christian rock band: https://youtu.be/d7sjrjiOYYQ

Well, the open mic was a good time. The only mention of RvW was a comedian saying that the silver lining was that guys like him with vasectomies would go up in value xD

Also some guy asked if the songs I sang were made for pride month (which is a hard no).

But I got to hear some friends play that I haven't heard in a long time. Since before COVID-19. It was good hearing them again as well as some new faces.

Something interesting I noticed that I hope is here to stay is that all of the female singers actually sounded nice and clear, very soulful and rich voices rather than the weird, gross, indie "Billie eilish" shit that was happening pre-pandemic.

The other thing that was nice is that it seemed like pretty much everyone there was actually good at performing. Normally at open mics you'll have a few shitters with more confidence than they have work ethic. This one though, almost every performance blew me away.

@Secftblgirl capitalism isn't so bad eh?

@Azur_Fenix @FutaFanatic that one i'm on the fence about. i can understand it, but that gets into weird eugenics stuff i'm not a huge fan of at least when it comes to earth. if we're sending people up to mars i think some eugenics there is necessary to try and get the best genes there since we can effectively start over and it's not like we have to kill anyone, just send up the best we can, but on earth idk, rubs me the wrong way.

for me the only times an abortion is "okay" is rape, or if the mother's health is in danger. if the condom breaks, then tough shit. maybe don't have sex if you aren't accepting of the risk that you could have a child come out of it. or just stack multiple methods to lower the chances, like condom+pull out or whatever.

ultimately i think abortions should be legal and we should just cast away women who get them from society, but absolutely any measure to give the states more power than the federal government is a good one in my eyes

@tengumatingpress @sjw ah yes, the slave show loophole
