Sure but I mean… Wouldn’t you want to try to make the world a better place in general? Why do we have to force some people into a suffering underclass?

Cause sky daddy "told" them to.

Don't you dare point out that sky daddy's son said the opposite and hung out with whores, poors, and the sick with sores.

When one person stands up by themselves or with only a small group around them, the powers that be drop the hammer on them and everyone who was sympathetic and might have supported them gets scared back into line

That's the thing: they think that it is better. They think the reason these people are suffering is because they aren't doing things the right way.

If 9 year old girls could hold an aspirin between their legs, they wouldn't get pregnant. They are sluts so naturally they should give birth because that will make it better.

These people have zero empathy as to the real world challenges that women face. When you ask conservatives why they don't adopt, they say "I have my own children" which tells you everything you need to know: adopted children are not really theirs.

It's not about children. It's about punishment. That 9 year old needs to be punished for having sex.

It's maddening how far they have gotten in the political world.

This is the craziest thing to me. Babies as punishment for "moral failing."

A baby is not and should never be a punishment. Anyone who thinks a baby is a punishment shouldn't be having babies or forcing others to have babies.

I think, at the surface, conservatives don't say this. They say a child is a blessing, etc.

But when you get down deeper, past their rhetoric, they definitely equate babies as a punishment.

"I suffered, and so should you. Stop complaining!"

It really does come down to this for a lot of folks. Anyone that tries to fix it are considered "whiners" to these folks.
