When I was growing up the internet was a place to be liberated from the world say what you want to say, be whoever you want and form genuine communities with shared interests. Now the internet feels like a tool to enslave the mind with identity echo chambers and any deviation leads you to being banned and blocked shunned and silenced within a void that is inescapable. Novel unique websites coded manually by hobbyists running servers for free in the commons allowing people access to the free flow of information under the banner of “information should be free” has largely gone away with corpratisation. I miss the days when the internet was populated largely by nerds aiming to make a better world not this controlled censored hell hole of profiteering.

    Those are issues yes, however from the information I’ve looked at the majority of abortions are because of affordability. First off you can’t get pregnant just because of getting kicked out of a house, however housing should be allocated for that scenario. You’re assuming I would pass laws to ban it, your not seeking out what I intend, the point is to develop the economy and provide for people in abundance so women no longer feel the need to get an abortion because they can’t afford to raise a family.

      So you don’t want to ban it, but rather change the circumstances in society and individual people’s lives so they don’t want to get them in the first place? Congratulations! You’re pro-choice.

        The fact you view politics as a zero sum sports game is the problem in pro or anti, us vs them. You’re mistaken I’m against the practice I just go about it a different way.

          You can be against abortion and still be pro-choice. No one is pro-abortion. You want to go about it in a way that changes the circumstances in people’s lives so they choose not to have an abortion. So you do think the person’s choice matters. And you can see circumstances for why someone would choose to abort. But note how you don’t want to take actually away their choice, just change the circumstances so they don’t make that choice. That’s because…

          You’re pro-choice.

              You don’t want to institute a ban, but would rather influence people’s choices. That’s pro-choice, dumbass. Anyways you cut it, that’s pro-choice.

                Influence no, a material solution with a planned economy to serve everyone’s needs in society so everyone has necessities and luxuries to afford and have a happy and healthy life. My solution goes beyond your simple petty plaster over a gaping wound.

                  Please keep going with that train of thought

                  What is your intended outcome of them having a happy and healthy life? Is it so they… choose… not to have abortions?

                    That they majority doesn’t need one because people in a planned economy wouldn’t have to the stress of affording a mortgage as housing would be allocated, wouldn’t have to worry about work because jobs would be allocated, wouldn’t have to worry about utility bills because resources would be allocated for need with the change of the economic calculation and wouldn’t worry about inflation causing food prices to fluctuate. Come on it’s not that hard to determine the factors.

                    The intended outcome is to develop the economy, develop the productive forces to provide for everyone in a planned economy. And hopefully bring the death rate down caused by capitalism.

      I don’t want to have a child because I don’t want to give birth or raise a child. Housing is not an issue. Finances are not an issue. I just have zero desire to have children.

      So if I get pregnant and I don’t want to be, your solution is… make sure I have housing and plenty of money? So I can afford to comfortably raise a child I do not want and have never wanted?

      Getting banned from a subreddit is slavery but forcing women to give birth and raise children is not???
