Pro Abortion People

[Elf01]

Continuing the discussion from How do I tell my Mother I don't feel safe around her?:

No. Supporters of killing Jews are overtly hateful. Supporters of killing the unborn don’t hate the unborn because the vast majority believe they aren’t human in the first place. They also genuinely think they’re helping women in desperate situations, whereas Hitler’s supporters didn’t claim to kill Jews out of any sort of compassion.

And Jews weren’t classified as fully human by Hitler. I’m sure at least some people genuinely believed it.

Also, on some level pro aborts do understand what they support, otherwise why rare and I’d never have one myself (personally pro life but …).

Especially the personally pro life but people know what they support.

Lots of people are pro-choice because it’s just kind of the default position and they’ve never given it much thought. People who are pro-Holocaust actually had to work to arrive at an evil set of beliefs. People just sort of default to being pro-choice and aren’t necessarily motivated by malice.

Anti Semitism was common at the time, so I don’t see a difference.

If it’s me against a group, arguing without some kindness can also lack effectiveness. Pro-life people are always trying to make “arguments” for life. This may work against un-informed individuals but the pro-choice groups have heard all these before. I sometimes wonder what would happen if pro-life groups tried “killing them with kindness”. Not giving the other group something to fight. Maybe we’d make them see that we are happy people, that having kids didn’t ruin the lives of the moms who chose life.

Violence only brings violence and the same is true of un-kind debate. Hearing something louder doesn’t mean you listen better.

Not saying don’t support pro-life, and battle fights against murder, but we’ve tried the sword for a long time. Trying something else dosen’t mean surrender.

I see the opposite. I think we’ve tried the soft approach and got nowhere.
