Well I do believe pro-abortion stances come from a fundamentalist view as well.

2020-03-05 13:16:59 UTC  

Hm, how so?

2020-03-05 13:17:10 UTC  

The cult of Feminism.

2020-03-05 13:17:42 UTC  

Not really fundamentalist, though. They are still distilling their tenets.

2020-03-05 13:17:54 UTC  

No fundamentals to return or hold to.

2020-03-05 13:18:14 UTC  

That depends on one factor.

2020-03-05 13:18:59 UTC  

Are we using pro-abortion as a stand in for pro-choice or the radical encouragement of abortion?

2020-03-05 13:19:52 UTC  

Not sure, I didn't start that, I just brought up an example of a group that met the stated filter and in no definition would qualify as pro-abortion. I was mostly addressing an over-broad generalization.

2020-03-05 13:20:08 UTC  

So, whichever you mean.

2020-03-05 13:20:19 UTC  

Well there is a need to make a clear difference between the two.

2020-03-05 13:20:48 UTC  

I believe that pro-abortion should refer to the radical encouragement of abortion.

2020-03-05 13:20:53 UTC  

Fair.

2020-03-05 13:21:11 UTC  

Okay, going with that definition for the purposes of this conversation. Please continue.

2020-03-05 13:21:39 UTC  

It always did annoy me that people equated "choice" with "abortion", so I like the distinction.

2020-03-05 13:22:04 UTC  

Basically the idea is the ideological belief that pregnancy is not natural but oppression of women by men.

2020-03-05 13:22:56 UTC  

Which is a tenet of several subsets of radical feminism, yes.

2020-03-05 13:22:58 UTC  

It might not be a fully conscious concept stated yet but this is the only Rational conclusion to their radical encouragement.

2020-03-05 13:23:14 UTC  

I think we might be differing on the definition of "fundamentalist" more than anything else.

2020-03-05 13:23:48 UTC  

Radicalized and fundamentalist aren't synonyms, even though you see them used that way a lot when discussing religions lately.

2020-03-05 13:24:11 UTC  

But modern Feminism is a religion.

2020-03-05 13:24:36 UTC  

Cult. No religious aspects as an overall phenomenon yet.

2020-03-05 13:24:44 UTC  

Not all cults are religions.

2020-03-05 13:25:16 UTC  

There are plenty of neopagan woo variants, but they aren't core (yet).

2020-03-05 13:25:37 UTC  

They are core. Its just a matter of admitting it.

2020-03-05 13:25:54 UTC  

You don't have to be a relgion to have fundamentalism, though, so it's a moot point either way.

2020-03-05 13:27:28 UTC  

But yeah, all the current talking points about abortion is abhorrent.

2020-03-05 13:27:46 UTC  

It is slowly turning me pro-life.

2020-03-05 13:28:00 UTC  

"Clumps of cells"

2020-03-05 13:28:17 UTC  

"Aren't you clumps of cells?",

2020-03-05 13:28:26 UTC  

You'd hate some of the more rational arguments, then.

2020-03-05 13:28:26 UTC  

"That's different."

2020-03-05 13:28:47 UTC  

There is a simple argument for abortion.

2020-03-05 13:29:00 UTC  

It doesn't matter what we do.

2020-03-05 13:29:09 UTC  

Abortions would only go up.

2020-03-05 13:29:22 UTC  

No, I mean actually logically consistent arguments.

2020-03-05 13:29:45 UTC  

There are some. But they don't go the "clumps of cells, but somehow different from me being a clump of cells".

2020-03-05 13:29:50 UTC  

route.

2020-03-05 13:29:57 UTC  

I don't mind logical arguments.

2020-03-05 13:30:19 UTC  

The problem is that the left is retarded with their points.

2020-03-05 13:30:30 UTC  

Frequently, yeah.

2020-03-05 13:30:35 UTC  

When they can actually present them in a smart way.
