I’m @ephcee.bsky.social, if you want to follow me there. I kinda regret not grabbing the @hfx name but I was never a city in the first place.

@MichaelStanwyck @g_gosden @HumbleFlow In 1925, 1 in 8 children died before the age of 5. In 2025, it’s 1 in 227. There were fewer sick kids running around 100 years ago because they died.

@themadnewfie @Katie___Simpson We wouldn’t pay this tax. It’s a tax on revenue that companies like Google earn from Canadians.

[ED @HFX]

@BunchesOfStoats @IHJWAMH @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone Yeah, I claimed that… because that is the case…

[ED @HFX]

@BunchesOfStoats @IHJWAMH @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone Honey Bunches of Stoats, I have no idea what your qualm is. I haven’t changed my stance on anything.

[ED @HFX]

@BunchesOfStoats @IHJWAMH @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone And since legally, a fetus is not legally considered to have personhood, it isn’t legally considered murder. They picked a line.

[ED @HFX]

@MillerTalk_Pod @MechaNick72 @SmurfeysSmaw @IHJWAMH @DrNeilStone What pills do you take if you had a missed miscarriage and what pills do you take for an elective termination?

[ED @HFX]

@MillerTalk_Pod @MechaNick72 @SmurfeysSmaw @IHJWAMH @DrNeilStone They’re the same thing. It’s the same medical procedure. Intent doesn’t matter.

[ED @HFX]

@BunchesOfStoats @IHJWAMH @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone That’s not a pivot. That’s the same thing phrased two different ways. Abortion isn’t murder because a fetus doesn’t have personhood.

[ED @HFX]

@Shannon_10Ten @dansenyeah @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone What qualifies as personhood.

[ED @HFX]

@BunchesOfStoats @IHJWAMH @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone I’m not sure what change you’re seeing.

[ED @HFX]

@Shannon_10Ten @dansenyeah @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone Lots of people agree, which is why it’s the law in lots of countries.

[ED @HFX]

@MechaNick72 @SmurfeysSmaw @IHJWAMH @MillerTalk_Pod @DrNeilStone She also can’t treat a missed miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

[ED @HFX]

@MillerTalk_Pod @BunchesOfStoats @IHJWAMH @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone Needing a job and needing your mother’s circulatory system, are pretty different.

[ED @HFX]

@MillerTalk_Pod @BunchesOfStoats @IHJWAMH @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone Sure, but people who have been born no longer require their mother’s body to survive. They’re their own person… at that point.

[ED @HFX]

@MechaNick72 @IHJWAMH @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone Sure it has. Laws can change as society changes. I don’t think people should marry their first cousin, but it’s legal. But as of right now, personhood doesn’t apply to a fetus.

[ED @HFX]

@dansenyeah @Shannon_10Ten @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone You aren’t grasping the point here. According to the law and medical definition, a fetus does not have personhood. Person is different than human. I realize that’ll raise your blood pressure but your feelings don’t change that.

[ED @HFX]

@BunchesOfStoats @watchingdaisies @IHJWAMH @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone This is true in most of the developed world. You’re welcome to believe that as soon as a clump of cells has electrical activity is a person (person is different than human), then have at it. That doesn’t change the legal status.

[ED @HFX]

@BunchesOfStoats @IHJWAMH @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone A fetus isn’t legally a person. Thats the legal and also medical definition. How you personally feel about it doesn’t change that fact.

[ED @HFX]

@IHJWAMH @MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone The law, at least in Canada, does not agree. Your feelings about the morality of that, doesn’t impact that reality. I haven’t even said if I agree or disagree, you assume that based on how these terms are defined.

[ED @HFX]

@MillerTalk_Pod @SmurfeysSmaw @DrNeilStone A fetus doesn’t have personhood. You can believe whatever you want, that doesn’t change the definition of abortion. And lots of other people believe other things. Banning abortion denies women healthcare. It’s just what happens.
