Several of us are trying to tell you you’re wrong because we all have the actual experience. You cannot possibly back your claims up about how miscarriages and abortions are different because you’ve never actually seen either carried out, and you have no idea how obvious that is to us.

Lol well several of you are wrong. I’ve backed up my claims multiple times with several sources proving abortions and miscarriages are different. If you think they are the same you are objectively wrong. You’ve given no sources whatsoever to even try to back up your claim. Your experience doesn’t prove facts wrong. If you got an abortion and equated it with a miscarriage that doesn’t mean they are the same, that means you’re wrong.

Miscarriage is a baby dying for natural reasons. Abortion is you killing your baby on purpose. Don’t you dare tell women who suffered miscarriages that they had an abortion.

Miscarriages are abortions in the same way cancer is murder.

These people don’t understand that we’re really against elective abortions. A miscarriage is not an elective abortion. An ectopic pregnancy is not an elective abortion. Ectopic pregnancy treatment is so incredibly different than a typical abortion procedure. I’ve had many friends who have suffered miscarriages and a friend who’s had an ectopic pregnancy. They know, from their experience, that they did not have an elective abortion.

Biggest newS EVER that ABSOLUTELY MADE MY DAY AND I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE SHOULD AND MUST KNOW:

Just recently, scientists named a new genus of butterflies after the most famous, epic, superb fantasy villain ever: Sauron.

More specifically, their name is Saurona triangula, named after indeed Sauron himself, for their many eye-like black spots on their bright orange wings, truly resemble Sauron's eye!!

“The Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat’s, watchful and intent, and the black slit of its pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing.”

The sheer contrast between the elegance and delicacy of a butterfly and the immense power and darkness of the most known villain ever. If this isn't one of the COOLEST thing EVER I SWEAR...screaming crying fangirling and sliding my back against the door and sitting on the floor

another incredible example of Tolkien’s humor via formal vs casual language:

Faramir, waking from a multi-day fever/despair coma, seeing Aragorn for the first time: My lord, you called me. I come. What does the king command?
Éowyn waking from a brief despair coma: Éomer! What joy is this? For they said that you were slain. Nay, but that was only the dark voices in my dream. How long have I been dreaming?
Merry, waking from a brief despair coma: I am hungry. What is the time?

Bowuigi fic where Bowser kidnaps Luigi to get leverage - either to keep Mario from interrupting his plans and/or force Peach to accept his marriage proposals. Something like that.

BUT before he can say this, when Mario arrives he goes "BOWSER YOU CANNOT DATE-A MY BROTHER!" bc his pure himbo energy just decided that CLEARLY Bowser has kidnapped Luigi for the same reasons he kidnaps Peach. Obviously.

AND before Bowser can correct him, LUIGI yells "AND-A WHY NOT?!! YOU CANNOT TELL-A ME WHO I'M ALLOWED TO DATE!!"

Cue Mario and Luigi vehemently arguing amongst each other about this, while Bowser stands there very confused in the background. ("I'm allowed to make-a my own decisions!" "It's-a BOWSER you can do so much-a better!!" "I'M STANDING RIGHT HERE")

Luigi wasn't even planning on deciding to accept Bowser's proposal (both brothers have a single braincell and they think 'Bowser kidnaps you = he wants to marry you', neither even think that there could be a secondary reason, lol) BUT he's a little brother and the SECOND Mario says he can't do something he has to. It's the little brother energy in him.

Bowser at this point doesn't even know how to correct them without it coming off awkward for EVERYONE involved. He TRIES but when he says that's not it, Mario is like "Bowser, you-a KIDNAPPED him" and that's kind of hard to argue the semantics. Especially now that Peach has arrived and is congratulating him for moving on??? (WHEN DID SHE ARRIVE AND WHY?!)

Bowser isn't sure how it happened but he's pretty sure he's dating Luigi now and he doesn't know where to go from this. He goes back to his castle and tries to talk about it to Kamek to get some advice on how to fix this situation, but all KAMEK says is "You DID kidnap him, sire."

They wind up getting married.

(Kamek knew this wasn't the original plan but he decided it was both funny enough and a good way to get him to stop kidnapping a princess who had no interest in him that he just decided to go with it. It worked out so he considers it a win.)

I get and totally respect why some women don't want kids, but that ability to have kids should be treasured!!!

Side note that women also have the ability to say NO without the only path to reproductive freedom being abortion. “Ability to” does not mean “must,” but abortion is not the easy way out, nor is it a preventative measure. We deserve better

In the event of a woman enjoying sex (so not wanting abstinence), there are multiple ways to say no, like contraception and sterilization (the latter may be unrealistic if they wish to conceive at a later time).

However the former has failure rates. Once those fail, the only way to say "no" is abortion. Abortion does not prevent pregnancy, but it prevents parenthood. When birth control fails and you don't want to be pregnant regardless of what social support there is, there is no "better" than abortion. Similar to how when brushing my teeth fails, there is no better option than "fill the cavity".

If birth control fails and you don’t want to be pregnant the “better” would always have been refraining from reproductive activities. It is unacceptable that innocents suffer the death penalty so people can have sex however they please without the appropriate reverence to basic biology. That is a simple self control issue

@brand-new-uterus abortion doesn't prevent parenthood. Once fertilization happens, the woman carrying that new life is a mother until that child dies.

Humanity probably wouldn’t reproduce if the act of reproduction wasn’t pleasurable in some way.

Best idea ever haha. Can’t wait for the TikTok videos of them all stamping on their guns in protest haha

So LGBT gun owners don’t exist suddenly?

@ancappunk awe how sweet of you to care about them. Or are you just pretending to care about the LGBT for your own selfish desire to have guns supplied by the bucket load?

This isn’t directed at responsible gun owners, it’s directed at those who have no problem with background checks, safety courses and the abolishment of automatic rifles. Ordinary citizens owning a handgun or shotgun with the proper paperwork in order is fine

No, I’m gay and you sounded as if you didn’t think we existed but that actually answered my question since you instantly jumped to the conclusion that I’m straight. Thanks for that.

Background checks don’t stop crime, accidental discharges are very rare already, and more people are murdered without guns than by all rifles combined.

Gays should have guns. Everyone should.

Armed gays don’t get bashed.

Calling it now

“Not use collective punishment as it is not fair on the many people who did nothing and under the 1949 Geneva Conventions it is a war crime.”

Wait it’s a fucking WAR CRIME?!?! I mean that might not be 100% accurate but now I gotta know

holy crap, collective punishment is a war crime.

and according to the exact legal phrasing-

No protected person may be punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.

This technically counts, as students are civilians, and thus considered a “protected person”. So yes, collective classroom punishment breaks the fourth Geneva Convention, and she should be rewarded for standing up for human rights and doing her research.

Dangers of working on a set.

That’s what I said.

Okay but you forgot the best part! During the scene where Aragorn, Gandalf and the other Main CharaktersTM ride ahead to go shout at the gate (and talk to the mouth of sauron in the extended edition) they were very firmly told only to ride up  ahead “this far” because that area was cleared and beyond that it wasn’t.

But. Viggo Mortensen is absolutely mad and lead them just…. a bit farther than that. Everyone else was very scared they might blow up any second. Viggo said it “added a little extra tension”.

Viggo was just Like That™ for the whole trilogy, taking method acting to extreme levels:

  • he would spend multiple days walking overland to locations in full pack, sword, & armour when everyone else was travelling in trucks
  • refused to use any prop swords that weren’t actual steel
  • basically lived in the forest in-costume, sleeping rough under the sky, even fishing & foraging for his food when possible
  • often spent hours in the barn just bonding with the horses. He adopted the horse he rode, Uranus, after filming ended
  • repaired all his own gear by hand, which was often since he never took it off
  • had a tooth knocked out during filming but had the crew simply glue it back in place so they could keep filming
  • the instructor who taught everyone swordplay said Viggo was the best swordsman he had ever trained
  • carried his sword literally everywhere & practiced non-stop, resulting in the cops being called when locals reported “a wild man swinging a sword around his head" outside a gym in Wellington
  • an orc actor fucked up & accidentally threw a dagger directly into Viggo’s face, but Viggo just deflected it with his sword. They kept that shot
  • infamously broke 3 toes kicking that helmet but stayed in-character & sold his very real scream as part of the scene. They also kept that shot
  • Viggo insists on doing his own stunts; in The Two Towers where Aragorn is unconscious & floating down the river, the strong current pulled him underwater for so long that a rescue team had to go in to save him. Viggo survived by grabbing a boulder on the riverbed and pulling himself to the surface

It’s probably more accurate to say that Aragorn played Viggo Mortensen in the off season, so I’m 100% unsurprised to hear he put a whole crowd of fellow actors in genuine mortal peril for a 12% increase in authenticity
