Hey! Quick anecdote from someone who should've been aborted. My mother was a whore- the literal sense. She had me and god knows how many siblings through the years, in fact, we are still finding out about them (She gave up a 4 year old half sister 2 years ago and we just found out through gossip). Anyways, if she aborted me and my fuck knows how many siblings, we wouldn't have known this fucked up world (living in a 3rd world country where children out of wedlock have less rights). I would've been more than happy to not exist at all rather than experience the discrimination from my own country laws.

Advocating for the unborn sometimes takes the form of giving it the mercy of not letting it be born into this world when you KNOW the conditions are going to be fucked up from day 1.

Those conditions can be simply: The mother does not want them. Nobody wants to be born to an unwilling parent, trust me.

There was a story in a Frank McCourt thread about a Catholic woman in the seventies who was struggling to feed the five children she already had. She didn't want more babies. She confessed to her priest that she didn't know what to do. He told her in the face of starvation and hardship, she should take birth control. It was best that her already living children be cared for. That was mind-boggling, an actually pro-life priest who cared about children's welfare!

I was waiting for the priest to say ‘if you suffer and starve now, you’ll find happiness and riches in heaven’ lie that was sold to the slaves and some underdeveloped/developing countries still believe

I think it's hard for a priest in an impoverished town to watch the children around him be bone-thin and succumb easily to illness and disability, and think to himself, "Well, at least they'll go to heaven." Normal, good people don't want others to suffer. God never said, "Let people starve, lol they'll go to heaven anyway." There are a ton of Bible verses about opening your home to your neighbor and giving to the poor. There are commandments about greed and theft.

You’re not wrong. I’m assuming you completely missed my point or aren’t aware about history or current culture in certain countries. Look up Slave bible. Also read up about Christianity in Philippines, India and some African countries. Most of the population there is poor and struggling and all they have going on is that God will save them in their afterlife and they’ll have riches in heaven. How do I know? I’m from one of those countries. I also grew up a devout catholic. I also watch a lot of videos and read up about real stuff people go through before defending a religion blindly

Also the Magdalene laundries of Ireland, where pregnant single women with the misfortune to be in Ireland at the time were incarcerated, enslaved, forced to complete the pregnancy if possible, coerced into nursing the baby for up to 2-3 years, and then forced to give the child up for adoption by a Catholic Church approved family, all under the control of nuns, and that's the best version of how it went.

I think unfortunately many religious leaders basically give up and say, "It's God's will, don't worry about your struggles now, you will have riches in the afterlife." But there are some good souls who know it doesn't have to be that way. Unfortunately, that priest would probably have gotten in major trouble for advocating for birth control if anyone tattled to his superiors.

This is a nice place. If you can't act like a civilized human being, you can't be here.

We do not allow:

  1. Being a jerk. This includes racism, misogyny, misandry, misgendering, anti LGBTQ+, ageism, etc.
  2. Harassment
  3. Trolling or sealioning
  4. Threats of any kind
  5. Abusive behavior
  6. General assholery. If you're at the end of the list and asking what rule you broke, yeah, it's this one.
