Reply to comment by ThisistheInfiniteIs in Anti-LGBT law in Russia: 'Leaders want to construct a united conservative base' by DoremusJessup

Firstly it's perfectly possible for someone to be irreligious and hate abortion

Secondly and more pertinent to the article, Russia already leads in the amount of abortion procedures per live births. They not only exceed the CIS average, but the EU average. Actually they just blow out every country in Europe on this matter.

It used to be so much worse at over 2000 procedures per every 1000 live births. It's good that it's dropped down to 350ish per 1000, but that's still higher than every other country.

You need science in your life and not unfounded wish belief. Your "unborn" are a clump of cells. You can't even force someone to let their body get used by an actual feeling and thinking human to stay alive, but somehow a clump of cells?

Your entire argument is based on being misinformed about how the world works. Perfectly reinforcing the point that only religion makes people so irrational.

The whole "lifestyle choice" has also nothing to do with what women go through that choose to get abortions. So on top of that you also seem massively sexist and ignorant about the thoughts and feelings of those who are different from you.

They also have a pretty horrid alcohol issue in Russia. If a woman doesn't want a child for some reason, it's best to believe her.

I'm aware of that. I also believe that the problem of a child being born into an abusive and shit environment is to improve that environment or remove that child and mother from it, not kill the kid

So instead of combating their chronic societal alcohol problem and the 99% of the other problems they have, you'd just throw the unborn to Moloch as acceptable casualties?
