      yeah, i mean it’s obvious because they keep saying aborting babies which semantically don’t make sense. abortion refers to aborting the pregnancy. post-birth abortion is an oxymoron because there is no pregnancy post-birth.

        Right. They’re willing to believe doctors are slitting infants’ throats in order to justify their worldview. They don’t even question if that’s happening. A long time ago some woman on Facebook told me some absurd number of abortions that were happening every year. When I did the math, I found that if her number was true, that would mean literally on average, 40% of every woman on the planet capable of being pregnant was getting pregnant AND having an abortion. Every fucking year.

        When I pointed that out to her, she basically shrugged and reiterated that it didn’t matter about specifics, so many children were being murdered that it had to be the top priority to stop it.

        How the fuck do you talk sense into someone willing to believe something absurd and then when basic math illustrates that the belief is absurd, they couldn’t care less?

          You can’t logic people out of an opinion they didn’t logic themselves into, or however that saying goes. these women will get their own abortion when they need it and still spit on the doctor and call the other patients whores literally on their way out of the clinic.

            Yeah, I guess I was naive. I didn’t expect this woman to change her whole view on the spot. But I just found it stunning that she could know she was spreading an absolute lie without a doubt and be completely unfazed
