This Reddit sub is a snapshot of where we are as a country....

https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/

It's where people on the left give the "Herman Cain award" to people on the right who mocked the virus and then wound up dying from it.

You're gonna ask, where's the sub where the right mocks the left on certain issues?

I found when I had my daughter the conversation with my wife's female doctor was kinda creepy.

Like we go to the doctor to confirm the pregnancy. I come in cos we're kinda going in as a couple and I think my wife thought it would be nice to introduce me.

Doctor confirms the pregnancy. Asks what we want to do about it.

For us the pregnancy was 100% intentional and planned pregnancy so of course we wanna keep....

But what has haunted me ever since was that the entire demeanour of the doctor changed. She had been all clinical - like confirming there was a pregnancy deadpan the way you would announce a blood test for anything else. The second we said keep she moved into sort of a bubbly "one of the girls" bedside mannor and starts instantly referring to the baby as a person...like and asking me if I'm going to paint the a nursery...if I have names picked out...if I'm excited or if I'll miss having sleep all the kinda friendly bedside manner you want really....

She didn't start acting like this 3 months down the road or 10 weeks down or 2 trimesters on or whatever...she started from 2 seconds after the words about keeping the baby came out of my mouth...

But I could never get out of my mind that if we had picked the other option (never on the cards for us at all) she would have had an entirely different approach to the conversation and no doubt been very professional about it and so on....

But there's something that doesn't sit right about that in my brain. It's like the doctor isn't saying there's an objective baby or not - it's just purely subjective - it's a baby if I say yes, and it's cells if I say no. Don't mean to disrespect anyone and I know people can argue the science of this stuff back and forth but just on a philosophical level that didn't add up to me. There needs to be an objective thing that is inside my wife...

Anyways...so I'm pro-life these days but yeah I do agree that it would need to be within the context of a proper social framework to support all the extra people we'll have.

Kill unhealthy and sick people: Literal Hitler!

Kill healthy babies in mothers womb: Progressive, caring, feminism!

I suspect that is why you can never have a debate about it. Everybody knows what is looming just under the surface. Once the vapor thin illusion of "not a life" disappears those 100 million babies killed in the last 50 years in America alone will start to gnaw on a few consciences. I mean damn, even Stalin had to work real hard to reach even a fraction of that number.
