I have some idea. I feel confident saying your response isn't proportional to actually believing babies are being murdered.
quote:I was discussing something with someone else. That "something" we were discussing was the effects of abortion on poverty and whether or not one is truly being compassionate to ban abortion while not doing anything to help the parent(s) after birth.
Were discussing abortion, which includes zygotes.
The argument was that it's more compassionate to kill children in the womb than to allow them and their mothers to live in poverty. I applied that same reasoning to the homeless, sick, and other groups that suffer in this life.

Good for you. It's a discussion board.

Which leads back to exactly where I took it.

ok so before Russia invaded Ukraine you were all for tax dollars going to women who needed help, not calling them welfare queens etc?
You don’t think there’s a difference between women needing help & welfare queens?

I would bet the majority do not find a difference when talking abortion or government spending. They find it convenient to keep them inclusive.

Hey, look. Foo ran out of points again.
See you next time.

But not real war.
Fake war, like the war on Target or Christmas.

If human life is not inherently valuable, then the entirety of our legal system has no foundation. Religiously or by any other measure, I do not see how someone cannot view human life as inherently valuable. And if it is, it deserves legal protection at the point of creation (i.e. conception).
There are plenty of reasons to believe abortion is a net negative for society apart from religion/inherent value.
Cars have no inherent moral value but it’s very easy to explain why it would be bad for society if it were legal to just take a sledgehammer to random vehicles.

This is a bald faced lie. Bad Orange Man doubled the child tax credit and made it refundable for the first time.
ETA: I think you agree with me - you were quoting, nor makjng, the argument.

Not to mention the massive economic expansion that improved the lives of millions of Americans... the government will never be able to "solve" issues of family planning or poverty, but they can make the country more conducive for individuals to make the proper choices and be responsible on their own volition.

Do you think that was a good thing, or are you just pointing it out?

Both.
It's literally a form of UBI for children.

Well, for the parent. So long as they pump out kids they can't afford.
