@madk222@ProgressiveEcho@BerniceKing White People are shot when they do that shit. In fact more white people are shot, its just not part of the selection bias agenda. Black people are disproportionally involved with violent crime, and therefore have disproportionately more run ins with police. These are facts.
@BrendonCassidy@michelletandler As an independent also I have problems with both parties. Big ones. I’d rather there be no parties, but the ultimate difference between democrats and republicans is that democrats appear to be economically illiterate. Without good economics everything else becomes trivial.
@AmmahStarr Stupid. Many black folks survive traffic stops and have a very good relationship with police. We have problems but this crap doesn’t help with any solutions.
@CriticalThinkU@RochelleH210@exibuchay@RBReich 🤷 Am I wrong though? Honestly, are you a Christian? It’s just an observation that nearly all Pro life people argue from place spiritual bias and if they are half way intelligent, they try to justify it by making labels. My apologies if that is not the case.
It’s just an observa
@exibuchay@CriticalThinkU@RochelleH210@RBReich There is no “spark” it’s a protein interaction. Push? Someone who has a choice isn’t pushing anything. They simply want to make the choice for themselves. I agree there needs to be line that is where there is a consensus among doctors comes in. It shouldn’t be Idealogical.
@exibuchay@CriticalThinkU@RochelleH210@RBReich I believe the most (not all) doctors think that a fetus should gain rights after the first trimester. Before that the medical consensus is that the fetus is part of the woman’s body.
@CriticalThinkU@RochelleH210@exibuchay@RBReich They often are. Once they are brain dead, if their wishes were to donate, they do. If they are not brain dead there is still conscious activity. Unconscious isn’t the same as no consciousness.
@CriticalThinkU@RochelleH210@exibuchay@RBReich It’s not conscious early on. No higher Brian function, no real thoughts, nothing that a pig fetus doesn’t have. Why does it get more rights? Because of it’s DNA. DNA doesn’t get rights. Sentience does. If a pig had our sentience we would give it rights. Until a certain point…
@CriticalThinkU@RochelleH210@exibuchay@RBReich That is just philosophy and science… then the are the economic arguments. You know as well as I do that it won’t stop abortions, lead to a black market and dangerous activity, but I think a fundament discussion of ownership and autonomy needs to be had.
@CriticalThinkU@RochelleH210@exibuchay@RBReich Ownership of our lives. A fetus doesn’t have that yet. The the ownership of the body it’s developing in. The woman it’s in does have ownership and sentience. Are we going to give a non sentient collection of cells rights to a woman’s body?….
@CriticalThinkU@RochelleH210@exibuchay@RBReich Is it just DNA that gives us rights though? I mean a pig fetus has the same level of consciousness as a human fetus. That’s why is not scientific to assign rights to a human fetus because of a philosophical bias. What makes humans special is we have sentience that gives us..
