The “Pro-life” movement is an insidious institution based on blatant racism, class entitlement, rampant sexism and open pedophilia and we need to talk about that last one.
The truth of the matter is that child predators benefit from a world with forced birth. A child with limited supervision in a strained home that is reliant on outside organizations for support (usually based in the church) is easy prey for the kind of person who wants to harm kids.
There’s no reason to want a world in which people are forced to be parents against their will except to make unprepared struggling parents and there is no reason to create a population of parents like that except a desire to take advantage of them and their children.
There is a reason that statistically a child predator is more likely to be in a pro-life aligned organization. It’s by design.
I saw a Pro Life comment defending Charlie Kirk comparing abortion to the holocaust, so here was my take on that as someone who is Pro Choice because Pinterest wouldn't let me comment it all. Also I've heard this argument from my own family before, so I wanted to lay my thoughts out.
Im not the best with words and this is a sensitive topic, so if I've said anything hurtful or wrong I am open to criticism.
It doesn't matter if there are more abortions than deaths in the Holocaust, they are not at all comparable.
A fetus is not a person, it could be, but it does not have the same rights as a person until it becomes one.
Someone is allowed, and should continue to be allowed, to exercise their right to get an abortion for a valid reason that is approved by a doctor, and is done at a certain point where the fetus is not yet a actual baby.
Meanwhile people in the Holocaust were living, functioning, adults and children with lives they were actively living. They had families, jobs, lovers, friends, hobbies. All that was stripped away from them, they were tortured and then brutally murdered just for living.
Most were Jewish, but were also killed because they were gay, socialists, POC, etc. All of them had the right to live as they were because they were real people. And yet it was stolen from them.
A fetus does not have those same rights because it isn't alive. Even if it has the potential to be. Even then, it is removed before it becomes something that can feel pain or emotion, so there is no cruelty, it hasn't lost anything but what you project onto it.
Like when a child's toy is broken, the kid may feel something for it and feel sad for it, but the toy isn't in any actual pain. It's not alive, even if the kid wanted it to be, or thought it was.
Someone can get an abortion for many reasons, rape, medical reasons/complications, not being able to care for a kid, to avoid the trauma of child birth, or maybe they just change their mind. And it is never an easy choice. It's Healthcare, not murder. In fact, it's kinder than bringing a child into the world when their parent won't be able to properly care for them.
Pro Life people claim to care about children, but i never hear them say anything about children in poverty, kids with abusive parents/how the justice system often fails to help or save kids or uphold their rights, how flawed the education system is. Etc.
You care about children until they're actual people that disagree with you or aren't like you, you defend them until they stop being a toy you can project your feelings and beliefs on to.
So no, abortion is not comparable to the horror and suffering of the Holocaust, and don't you dare say "im just talking about the numbers", because even if you are, that's taking away from the severity of what happened in the Holocaust to create an argument that fits your narrative.
When I was younger I struggled to relate to my parents growing up in a stricter biblical background, but as I got older and got closer to God again I was so grateful and valued them so much and their prayers🙏🙏If you have a praying mother or parents today tell them thank you for being a blessing in your life🙏♥️
Abortion is a National Tragedy.... Abortion was the leading cause of deaths worldwide once again in 2024, more than cancer, HIV, traffic fatalities, and sucicide attempts combined. Total deaths were 45.1 Million Unborn Babies/Source-National Right To Life
