Look. I don't mind if you're straight. I have a bunch of straight friends. But it's not appropriate to indoctrinate children to your "lifestyle". Stop shoving this down my throat.
I'm arguing that there IS clear evidence otherwise. The fact that they're not acting in a way that is consistent with the belief that life begins at conception is a problem. And saying that they don't understand their own belief is much nicer than saying that they're horrible people who let death happen when they could have stopped it.
And I think the point of these discussions is to exactly fix your final point. To iron out the inconsistencies and find the truth.
They don't believe that. They think they believe that, but they don't. The frozen embryo in the fire question proves this. The fact that they aren't actively killing abortion doctors proves this.
No, that phrase means "this situation is hopeless because the person is incapable of change". You can't turn a fly into a butterfly, no matter how hard you try.
The US can create a law saying "you can only deport people to their home country". And if the home country doesn't allow that, don't fucking deport them.
It's basic empathy.
Otherwise, let's just all deport them all to Antarctica. It would save a lot of money on logistics, if we're willing to not give a fuck.
We could easily, and should, implement a law saying that people must be deported back to their own country. It just means fewer people would be deported.
In most cases, it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. And people value life. Their own and other's. Because we're programmed to want to continue the species
If that wasn't the case: why wouldn't everyone just kill themselves right now? So they can live life? Why does that matter? If not to keep the species going, there's no reason.
I tried that and it still ends up either freezing or burning, unless I turn the handle all the way on, then half way, then creep it up.
Is that what a bad mixing valve looks like?
