      They’re not even talking about fetuses. They’re taking about Zygotes and blastocysts. They want the moment of fertilization to start life.

      Imagine how many women they’re going to have to kill when they find out how many fertilized eggs aren’t born.

      Forcing an unwanted birth doesn’t lead to a fulfilling life for the parent or the kid

      We should also start penalizing people who have miscarriages right? Since that is essentially manslaughter then (I hope you get that this is a joke, just like your stance on abortion)

        They’re already trying to outlaw miscarriages, and effectively have outlawed it in at least one place because of the overlap in how similarly the procedures technically work.

        They’re not pro life. They’re not even pro birth. They’re pro control over women. They’re still salty that women can vote.

          Haha, holy crap, yeah, that was me a very, very long time ago. Several lifetimes ago it feels. 🙂 I still have a few long term friends from xdo, but I don’t really game with them much anymore.

          What’d you play? 🙂

            lol! Holy shit and so random. I doubt you knew me on DAoC, but I was on Hibernia/Nimue when you all played Midgard.

            I played a Lurikeen nightshade name Cyno and then a Celt valewalker named Chaka. I was in smaller guilds mostly, but TPG did recruit me for a short time.

              Dude, I think I remember your Keen NS Cyno on Nimue. :) Crazy how small of a community this stuff is sometimes. :) Awesome to see some familiar faces on Lemmy.

              How’ve things been since then? I’m sure you’ve lived a similar amount of lifetimes hah. Who knew we’d all end up getting old, just like everyone else before us? :)

                Such a small world, even on the internet! I’ve only ever seen this name and spelling this way from gaming and thought I’d ask.

                Things are great for me! In my 40s, but still feeling young. Can’t game as much because married with kid and dogs, but I do from time to time. Getting hard to be competitive without those twitch reactions. Ha!

                How about yourself?

                  Ah, glad to hear it! 40s are the new 30’s or something they tell me. :)

                  Same here for the most part. Almost in my mid 40’s, got married to a player named Farah/Firah (we were dating before we started playing DAoC though to be fair), sadly things didn’t work out, got divorced in my 30’s, then remarried recently in my 40’s and we’re just enjoying life. No kids, 1 dog, 2 cats sort of thing.

                  I’ve been a software engineer most of my life, and now I manage/run a few teams of them at a large enterprise. Looking to get out of B2B here soon and take a stab at my lifelong dream: Making video games. Hoping to do that next year. I’ve been working with an Indie shop on my own time for the last couple years and we’ve released a couple games on Steam/Epic, so going to take a stab at doing that for realsies. ;)

                  In terms of gaming, lol, yeah man. I’m losing to one kid after the other nowdays haha. I got into WoW for a bit, like everyone, but ultimately I just play casual games like Overwatch(2) and Genshin Impact (Would not recommend that one, hah, I play for family mostly). Just trying to get back into the swing of things and find that enjoyment of gaming I feel like I lost so long ago.

      By that logic, so is jerking off. Hell, sex us murder because millions of seeds will die without being able to have a full, fruitful life…

      Hell, not jerking off is a death penalty crime because your body will kill and reabsorb millions of sperm cells!

      Should we all get the death penalty now?

      And state sanctioned killings are not?

      You people have very flexible morals when it suits you.

      With the population growing the way it is, we should honestly be encouraging more abortions.

          Mars is not your backyard that by planting a patch of grass and watering it will turn the whole planet into a lush grassland. And speaking of abortion, how many orphans have you adopted so far?

          Yeah no matter what some rich assholes want to convince everyone, 8 billion is already to much. Imagine every city becoming 25 percent more crowded everywhere. Just no.

          The laws criminalizing abortion also effectively criminalize miscarriages because of the way they investigate things and the fact that dilation and evacuation/curettage is frequently needed for miscarriages that occur after 10 weeks or so. The conservatives in question will refuse to accept that the fetus died in utero without any intervention and prosecute women that have to have dead fetal tissue removed to prevent sepsis, save their lives, and preserve future fertility if that’s what they want.
