  • I get it, but at the same time, some very competent people that could be amazing parents need IVF and it’s not right to take that away from them or terrorize them for that choice.

    Some might shame them for not adopting, but I think that’s a stupid mentality. Not everyone has the same needs to be filled with parenthood. Some want legacy, some want someone to love unconditionally, some want to give back to the community, some want a part of themselves and their partner to be left in this world, etc.

    I’ve even heard some say IVF shouldn’t be covered by Universal Healthcare where I live, because “God didn’t want them to have kids anyway”, but if we went with that mentality, nothing would be covered by Universal Healthcare, because “God didn’t want them to live or be cured anyway”.

    Too many people have a serious lack of empathy for others.








  • “Her soul is in heaven, satan posessed her body and the child is the child of the beast!” - Some religious people too.

    I’ve heard it all. If one believes something, another doesn’t and it all makes sense, because that’s what God wanted (according to them and some random part of the bible that so happens to very vaguely support them).

    God in the end is just a manifestation of their own desires to control others, whichever form of control they want to exercise anyway. They are control freaks. They can’t help it.

    Oh, you don’t want to give birth after death and leave your family in financial and emotional distress? Too bad, I’m in control! It’s God that said so, suck it! I get to control you in his name!

    You realise a horseshoe doesn’t touch at the tips… right? It’s a theory of extremes being similar in results, but different in key aspects due to being on opposite sides. It’s not hard to understand and is a theory taught in history courses. The reason I say it “joins in the middle” is because of how it ends up applying to the peasants in similar authoritarian fashion. It’s not that deep.
