To prohibit a voluntary relationship would be to initiate violence.

Questions & Debates / Re: Abortion = Kindness?

« Last post by 90sRetroFan on January 11, 2026, 07:04:45 pm »

"The topic was abortion."

So you want me to answer:

Quote

Abortion = Kindness?

Kindness is about actively helping others in achieving their aims. I would agree that abortion is kindness towards those who regret conceiving. (Whether they deserve it is another matter.) Abortion is however not kindness towards the conceived, since they have not expressed a preference either way, as you yourself note:

Quote

They don't consent to life or death. They have no discernable preference.

It would be kinder to the conceived to keep them safe until they have expressed a preference one way or another, and only thereafter help them on whichever path they prefer. So, logically, the only people who could consistently believe abortion=kindness overall would be those who deem that kindness towards conceivers should take priority over kindness towards the conceived.

What happened to "children are innocent" and "adults are corrupt"? Why would you want to allow mature, adulterated individuals to go into intimate relationships with the young and vulnerable?

If you are referring to our advocacy for state control over reproduction, I have stated previously that no one will be coerced to conceive.

The topic was abortion. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you accidentally glanced over that.
