>Nobody is "killing babies."
>Except the people killing babies
And that pretty much sums up why this argument will not be productive.
So what do you call it when you cause an organism to die?
EDIT: The downvotes are cute. Do any of you have a rational reason to disagree with my position? Abortion kills the embryo. Do politics trump science?
Don't bring the drama here as well. Let's just watch it from afar, and have some nice popcorn.
Why not? I can't piss the popcorn, I am the popcorn.
Then go swim with the other kernels, but don't bring the fight here. We're here to watch, not serve as a second front for debates.
/u/mahikker brought the fight here. And as a subscriber to both subreddits I see no reason I can't defend myself and fight the stupid that exists here.
Have you ever had this debate about beliefs and your counter party said " You know what, you are totally right. I can see the light now, thanks to your illuminating insight. What a fool I've been."? Probably not.
Having these arguments on the internets or irl just serve as a way to get an ego nut off.

So let's change peoples' minds with an old-fashioned downvote brigade!
>Having these arguments on the internets or irl just serve as a way to get an ego nut off.
So is posting them to /r/subredditdrama. Actually, it's worse since the brigade only serves to call in ideological backup to silence unpopular opinions.
You're aren't being downvoted because your opinion is unpopular. You are being downvoted because the abortion debate is not going to be resolved in /r/SubredditDrama and everybody here on both sides of the issue seems to recognize that fact except you.
feel free to defend yourself if you feel you need to.
but if you think you do i don't think you understand this subreddit.
and just because you get defensive and selfrigthous on us all doesn't mean we are gonna engage on the subject. and it as well as the fact that we don't engage you also doesn't make you right either.
so feel free throw however big a tantrum as you want. maybe you can go all the way to r//r/SubredditDramaDrama
>but if you think you do i don't think you understand this subreddit.
Oh, I do. That's why I subscribe to it. It's very entertaining. Nonetheless, it does serve as a downvote brigade just like SRS or any other meta-subreddit.
>and just because you get defensive and selfrigthous on us all doesn't mean we are gonna engage on the subject.
I wouldn't call my behavior defensive or self-righteous. I know what this subreddit is and what the consequences are when one is linked to from it after expressing opinions unpopular with the hivemind.
>and it as well as the fact that we don't engage you also doesn't make you right either.
There is a single non-bot comment thread in this brigade post. She mentioned something I said out of context to make it seem worse. I provided the context to balance out the story. Are you only here for misrepresentation of other peoples' words? I haven't heard any counterargument to what I've said yet.
You still don't get it. No one here is going to debate you.
I know, it generally isn't an option for people with no counterargument but a political motivation to punish. Brigade on, good buddy. I'm sure your downvotes will make up for your inability to argue the point.
I can't think of a better thread than this one as an example of why subredditdrama needs a "one thread or the other, don't piss in the popcorn or comment on the drama you're involved in" rule.
You're being a cringeworthy buzzkill. Not because of your opinions, but that you think it is a good idea to rehash them in a thread explicitly making fun of how rustled your jimmies are.
> So what do you call it when you cause an organism to die?
Supper time.
Also, welcome to the thread.
