    unwanted kids aren’t a good thing, but dead mothers who aren’t treated for ectopic pregnancies and other medical emergencies are even worse. there is no “future kid” there aren’t “potential people” deprived of anything. there are living people and that is who votes and who counts. people as a concept in some dude’s head aren’t real.

    Came up in a discussion about it yesterday, "The loss of the potential is a shame, but the loss of a reality is worse". You can argue that fetus is a potential life sure, but to sacrifice an actual in progress life with hopes and dreams is a waste, versus one that currently only knows instinct if anything.

    You do realize not all pro choice folks would choose to do it themselves most of the time right?

    Just because I think someone should be able to get gender affirming care doesn't mean I only want it so I can get 10 gallon bag mommy milkers.

    It's called being able to empathize beyond your own horizons.

    I just had a son 2 months ago, i love him dearly, and enjoy spending every day with him.

    I completely respect my wifes autonomy over her body, and she could have chosen to abort the clump of cells which became my son. Its her body.
