Who are we to decide for someone else that they shouldn't live because we assume their life will be nothing but a string of pointless suffering? Nonetheless, purposely killing a child for any reason seems absolutely heinous to me, but that's just me I guess.....
Shows a lack of imagination and empathy on your part for others' suffering, from what I can tell, but that's just me I guess...
Every suicide of a teenager from bullying, abuse, etc., after years of their family getting that emotionally connected to them (possibly with siblings who came along after to also become a bigger loving family), would be far more devastating than if they were to die as an infant or as a miscarriage; that tragedy of short-lived, borrowed time is a harsh but all-too-common reality. Seems like an empty prospect to be pro-life and not be even more prolific about the things that actually help life thrive. But then there's that obsession with 'where did life come from? Evolution doesn't explain THAT!' sort of mentality, so it makes sense that pro-life fanatics would only focus on the origin of a life and not what happens after they pop out of that cooch. Or hell, the obsession with the thing that leads up to the creation of life, what with how batshit religious folk get about sex.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
