These cannot accept that not every role is suited for both sexes.

[thriftshop-faith]

It's "please pray for all the oppressed women!" Until Christians (Christian women) speak up, then it's "You mean your white bearded sky daddy??"

They are always so disingenuous, the only faith they have is bad faith

"This stupid religion I want no part of needs to cater to my sensibilities and ideology"

[prolifeproliberty]

I just cannot understand attitudes like this in a society that has freedom of religion.

If a woman thinks the Catholic Church is wrong about women’s ordination, she can go be Episcopalian. They’ll let her be a “priest.” If she doesn’t care about the title and is fine with being “pastor,” she can go to any of the many and various Protestant denominations that allow women’s ordination.

A core component of being Catholic is accepting the authority of the Catholic Church. If you don’t accept that authority, then you’re not Catholic.

I just wish people would be honest about what they believe and stop using labels that don’t actually apply to them.

This viewpoint is so insane to me, as a Catholic.

You can believe that the Holy Spirit, God Himself, has been thwarted in His plans for 2,000 years by a lie?

You think that potentially thousands of female saints, women who performed miracles, ruled kingdoms, forced the Pope's hand on numerous occasions, could just be...stopped? By a fake, man made doctrine?

St. Thérèse walked from France to the Vatican to be allowed to join a religious order a few months early because it was that important to her.

St. Joan of Arc took command of an army.

St. Catherine of Siena forced the Pope to move the Papacy back to Rome from Avignon.

If there had ever been a woman called by God Almighty, to the priesthood, no earthly force could have stopped her.

If you think that pAtRiArChY could circumvent the Will of God, you don't believe in God.

“Je suis de ceux qui pensent que dans 50 ans la fortune consistera à pouvoir s’offrir la vie du paysan aisé du début du XXe siècle, à bien des égards, c’est-à-dire de l’espace autour de soi, de l’air pur, des œufs frais, des poules élevées avec du grain ..”

"Un nombre significatif de français se sentent «exilés de l'intérieur», ont le sentiment que leur identité même est en jeu. Or le malheur identitaire est plus grave que le malheur économique. Beaucoup de peuples vivent dans une relative pauvreté, mais à partir du moment où il existe une forte fierté nationale et une forte identité collective, ces peuples vivent bien."

This kind of stuff right here tells me that you people have no fucking clue what you are talking about.

The infant mortality is up because some of the chromosomal disorders that can be caught in utero result in early death. Those cases used to be treated with an abortion, instead of making the parents go through birth and then watching the death.

If it comes to it, would you rather make the choice for the abortion, or slowly watch them die in front of you?

[soundlessdragon]

You know, historically it's always been so easy to kill disabled people, out of sight, to keep abled people's lives more comfortable so they don't have to think about the struggles of someone different than them. I have three things to tell you:

Disabled people are valuable no matter how long or short their life expectancy.

Disabled people are valuable even if they experience suffering.

Disabled people deserve to be loved and cared for even if it makes privileged ableists like you uncomfortable.

Will it break my heart when my daughter dies one day from her disability? Of course it will. Does that mean I should have aborted her last year, before her doctors could help her have a fighting chance, before her first smile, before her siblings and father and grandparents could cuddle her and play with her? Before she could see the ocean, and feel the sunlight, and pet our cat?

Would it be easier for everyone if we had ended her life when we first got her diagnosis prenatally, aborting her before so many people had a chance to fall in love with her? Possibly yes. But I know it would be wrong. I'm doing the only right thing a mother can do, and that is to love her and care for her until her natural death.

"The infant mortality is up because some of the chromosomal disorders that can be caught in utero result in early death. Those cases used to be treated with an abortion..."

This is a morally equivalent statement to me saying that if we murder people in the oncology ward we've successfully treated their cancer.

IF YOU'RE EVER ASKED TO DEFINE WHAT A WOMAN IS, POINT TO HER.

Beautiful, heartbreaking and delicate words.

"She is safe in my womb... I seen what abortion looks like... I can't bear have her ripped piece by piece out of my womb... today is the first day I felt a kick...she only knows love and no pain... why would I give her such a painful death when she is perfectly fine?"

Yes, this young woman is a beautiful soul. Calling this procedure "reproductive healthcare" when most are elective or due to inconvenience isn't accurate; it's more like ending life for personal reasons, often as a last resort.

In 2020 CDC reported:

620,327 abortions,

0.3% life-threatening,

2.2% for health concerns.

95.9% were elective or unspecified reasons.

Le Standard en toutes choses, c’est la panacée. Plus aucune révolte à redouter des individus pré-robotiques, que nous sommes, nos meubles, romans, films, voitures, langage, l’immense majorité des populations modernes sont déjà standardisés. La civilisation moderne c’est la standardisation totale, âmes et corps.

Louis-Ferdinand Céline

Le monde moderne n’a pas le temps d’espérer, d’aimer, ni de rêver.
