Let's debunk a #ProLife talking point. The latest I've heard is that every life (even lives in utero) have distinctly different DNA, so ending that life ends its potential for growth.

Okay, you know what else has DNA? An acorn. This handful of acorns are loaded with distinctly unique DNA. So, are these unique lives (who have the potential to create trees) worth anything? 🤔

So a fetus is a person when trying to deny women rights, but not when the hospital's wallet is on the line? It's obvious the true ideology here is about controlling women and nothing more.

Aiming to limit damages, Catholic hospital argues a fetus isn't the same as a 'person'

Hi, Fediverse! #Introduction time: I'm a political junkie from #America 🇺🇸 who doesn't fit easily into today's boxes:

✅ I try to respect the dignity of other people even if I disagree with them. #ImagoDei
✅ I'm a #prolife #conservative with a #libertarian / #ClassicalLiberal bent.
✅ I embrace being a #Neocon internationally (pro-#NATO, pro-#Ukraine #NAFO 🇺🇦 , pro-#Israel 🇮🇱, pro-#Canada 🇨🇦, anti-#terrorism).
✅ I'm a #Christian ✝️ who dislikes when people confuse Biblical principles with political preferences. I try to distinguish between the two in my takes.
✅ I don't criticize things just because #DonaldTrump or #JoeBiden said it -- I disagree when they go against my principles.

I also really love #barbecue 🍖, #music 🎵 spanning pop to classical and enjoy writing. My takes on the world sometimes appear on @ofb — drop by and say hi to the whole gang over there! 👋

( I realize I've been remiss to post an introduction after several months on the #Fediverse, so better late than never, right?)

Continued thread

"I wish white Christian Conservatives had the same passion for migrant children, school shooting victims, sick toddlers, young black men, Muslim families, LGBTQ teens, the environment, and women's autonomy over their bodies that they claim to have for embryos."
