    Your body is a temple for the tapeworm. God sees you when you murder His precious tapeworms, and you’ll be made to answer for your sins when that big ole judgin’ shindig in heaven goes down. Can’t say I didn’t warn ya.

    I know this is just a shitpost but if you consider religious opponents to abortion believe that humans are made in the image of God and have infinite value compared to other things like tapeworms, you’ll understand their position.

      I’ve seen Mr Meaty I know that tape worms are people too.

      I have written out this comment and I am now just processing what the fuck my brain has summoned from the depths of my psychological hell.

    Wait until the pro-lifers discover the antibiotics they pop when they’re sick kill organisms inside of them… Life is sacred when it’s not their bodies.

      Billions of them. Each tablet is a genocide. Ban antibiotics now!

      (But, actually don’t.)

        Def restrict them, feeding them by the fuckton to cattle because you’re too lazy to figure out a way to keep that many of them in sanitary conditions is how you get civilization-ending superbugs.

          Yes, the widespread misuse and abuse of antibiotics is a huge problem. Don’t tell the antivax RFK fans about it though, you’ll give them new ideas.

          Wouldn’t it be nice if more folk were just reasonable about things? Life would be so much easier and more fun.

    Do you think comparing a parasite to a fetus is logically equivalent and a good way to convince pro life people?

      People who have not arrived at a position by logic or reason can never be dissuaded by logic or reason. This is humor, because trying to debate or convince an anti-abortion terrorist that they are not only wrong but evil would be pointless.

        they are evil, but they are not illogical. there seem to be a confusion between logic, which is objective, and morality, which is not. they are reaching the logical conclusion of pro-life from their morality, which is evil.

        i think the mentality of “they are evil, therefore they are not logical, therefore there is no point trying to talk to them” is very unconstructive. because it rules out the possibility of change. if you think they cannot be changed, what else can you do? wait for them to all die, then we’d all be living in paradise? or throw 40% of US citizens in prison?

          Many of them are illogical, or have logic descending from extremely dubious axioms.

          For example, “abortion is murder of an innocent baby” + “allow abortion for rape or incest” don’t square well together, but see commonly seen together.

          • The “abortion is murder” crowd is against it up until it personally affects them.

            I once had to dodge a punch because in an argument with someone I used to go to church with as a child, I brought up his own daughters getting pregnant as teens and him taking them 3 states over to get abortions.

            Apparently “that’s different and you know it”

            Besides, who gives a shit whether their logic is internally consistent when they can just ask sky daddy to forgive them and they’ll get into heaven no matter how many (according to them) babies they murder.

              Lol, I’d say its only different if she were raped or if he knocked her up himself. Doubt that was the case (and/or that he’d admit it if it were the later).

              This is conservative thought. Different rules for different people. In-groups to protect, out-groups to bind.

              You can also see it when it’s like “when I needed welfare I was down on my luck and needed help. When they needed it, they were lazy cheats”

              It’s poor empathy, poor reasoning, emotional dominance. They are, frankly, stupid

            What’s extra wild to me are those who stay logically consistent through that patch; that is they believe abortion even in cases of rape and incest is still immoral and thus should be illegal.

            I’ve got a family member with that take and I was legit speechless when she said that to me, esp since I consider her one of the more rational and compassionate members of my family.

          No one has ever told you that about right-wingers and religious extremists.

    • Is it logically equivalent? I mean they both drain their host, they both require a host to survive, and usually one dies when removed from the host.

      Are conservative Christians going to care? Of course not because NO ARGUMENT WILL EVER BE ENOUGH for them. They believe a sky fairy will save them from eternal suffering that the same sky fairy sends them to for not believing hard enough that sky fairy exists. Logic isn’t important to them.

      I get where you’re coming from. It’s kind of annoying when other pro-choice people smugly treat pregnancy and sometimes even children as inherently undesirable all the time. But like other people have already pointed out, the purpose of the post was never to convince anyone, it’s just being funny.

      An organism living in, on, or with another organism in order to obtain nutrients, grow, or multiply often in a state that directly or indirectly harms the host. The ends to the mean is worth the sacrifice to most mothers and often intentionally planned for or accepted, but yes, a fetus qualifies.

      As far as using it as an argument, no, it won’t work for various reasons. But as presented as a question of definition…
