Boy howdy the transphobes are coming out of the woodwork on this one.

I don't like that as I age it gets harder to stay in shape and have enough energy. Make the mean scientists change that hurtful fact please.

This should apply to abortions too. It's none of your fucking business what I do with my own body.

Taking every opportunity to remind an orphan that their parents are dead can very well make them feel bad, and it doesn't make you clever.

The original tweet was about gender, ie a trans woman is a biological man. It's a a fact.

Whoops! You did a bigotry. Next time, research the actual facts before asserting something so definitively wrong as a “fact”

lol, your "fact" is that a man is a woman? Ok mate, I'm sure you will do well in life, living that fantasy.

Ignorance is okay, willful ignorance is not. Learning about how actually complicated sexuality is amongst humans can be really eye opening

Its still logical. Thinking of others is always upsetting when its not inline with what you want. But its almost always worth it in the end.

The average person doesn't understand that because they're only familiar with the end results.

Fetuses are alive and human. Scientific fact. Completely inarguable. Anthropogenic climate change is real. Scientific fact.

matter? Sincerely, I have no idea why terminating a foetus that has 0% chance of survival outside the womb is an ethical issue.

Because it is human.

Oh my god, pull the other one. Humans disregard human life each and every day with no one crying out injustice.

It is not. The real meat of the matter these days is later-term when the fetus is potentially viable. Judith Jarvis Tomson got the pro 1/2

Late term abortions where the foetus might be viable are almost entirely done for legitimate medical reasons. Take that argument elsewhere.

Black pop % vs crime to start.
HolyCowDoNotEat
It seems very clear cut to me. Black populations are poorer, have worse quality education, have less opportunities etc. Recipe for disaster.
DrejLord
That just goes to show that blacks are targeted at a higher rate. Because crime is equal across the board. Just not arrests/convictions.

Not quite true. There ARE still actual disparities, but they go away if you account for poverty rates too.
