Yeah not the first time at all. I know that a YouTube channel I watch called OverlySarcasticProductions did two videos called “Pope Fights” that help explain my point
Not ironic - typical. Many forced birth advocates aren’t against abortion when it’s inconvenient for them personally. Understand this is not about babies; the stance is about controlling others in a self-centric and dehumanizing way. (If you think others have to be controlled because they are inherently not capable of making wise choices about their lives - but you are - you don’t see them as the same type of human as you.)
If the woman you are having sex with is pregnant with child you don’t want, it is exactly the same mentality to say she has to ‘get rid of it’. Is it consistent with a stance against abortion? Nope! Is it consistent with seeing females as secondary to whatever you think, feel or want? Yep!
So. In summary, it is the opposite of ironic.
It's true that people selfishly tell women to have abortions because it inconveniences them, but I think your initial logic is flawed. Without knowing the true disposition of the priests or bishops who forced these women to get abortions, it is still believed that killing an unborn child is evil. That doesn't make it imposible to commit this evil for a person who believes it's evil. I might have sex with a woman who isn't my wife, but I still believe adultery is bad. So it's wrong to say it's "typical" of an anti-abortion person to be only motivated by selfishness. Although now I'm interested to look up the logistics of hypocrisy. Do you think it's okay if people are unable to hold themselves up to a certain standard, dictated by faith or worldview? And are you able to make mistakes or willfully act against your beliefs without discrediting your entire outlook?
