The reason i stay out of pro-life/pro-choice and similar debates

After a metric shitton of arguments, I'm done. It seems like people are more interested in winning the discussion rather than finding the best solution. Same reason I hate politics.

If you don't debate then the extreme views will win the argument and become the norm.

The basic principles of most religions are the same. It drives me crazy that we fight over basically what name by which we call God

not god, which prophet. and that's just the three religions from the middle east

Most religions have some version of the golden rule. They all have a higher power to be honored or worshipped. ..

umm, pro choice is not an extreme?

According to you... Hence the debate.

I would assume that allowing a choice would never be an extreme?

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If lives were at stake it would obviously be extreme, that's the point.

But the problem is that we cannot agree on when a child should be considered a child. But we can agree on what choice we are referring too

to* Also, I don't understand what you are trying to say.

Only if you think killing an unborn baby is extreme.

...Only if you're dumb enough to consider something without a consiousness, or the lack of ability to sustain its own life a baby.

You should probably do some research on late term abortions.

I don't agree with "late term" unless it's a threat to the mothers health... So your point is moot.

No, if you read my earlier comment, it comes down to when life begins.

My opinion aside... pro life is the extreme in every way. "You can't choose. We define life."

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes we do, and that is the root of the argument.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That is an extremist way to define it. You are exactly what op was talking about.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I was trying to make a point. I would think that by denying someone a choice you are living in an extreme?

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

And the opposite is that by killing a possible child you are denying them every choice. It's all in how you phrase it.

Then why is it okay to deny people the choice to use drugs recreationally?
