At least one of your ancestors got one of your other ancestors pregnant via rape The circumstances of your birth were arranged by a world history that includes slavery, conquest and genocide If the world had always been perfect it would be so different none of us would be here

You're gonna have to reckon with that fact and come to terms with it at some point and then stop trying to base your morals on these hypotheticals "Since the purpose of human existence is to create me personally, anything that would've stopped that is automatically bad"

WWII wouldn’t have existed if there hadn’t been a WWI. It’s all starting to make sense.

I think some men are a *bit* self centered on this whole reproduction thing. Like entirely too many people think of it as 'Ejaculation, BABY EXISTS' women's body blah blah, baby born! Whereas I think of it as a person comes into being having layers and layers of care from a womb.

My mom got an abortion when she was 16. I’m the oldest of her 5 kids, born 5 years later (to a different dad). I can confidently say that if abortion were illegal, my parents wouldn’t have met and I definitely would not exist. I (and my siblings) owe my life to abortion.

I mean, if I wanted to be self-centered, I'd say I was glad abortion was legal, because that meant I could be pretty sure she changed her mind. Banning abortion is a pretty good way to *increase* the number of unwanted children. The argument doesn't even work on his terms.

How is the answer not "Hug your mom and tell her you're glad things got better for her"?

My grandpa got drafted and his wife cheated on him with the neighbor. So he moved to his birthplace where he met a younger girl who got pregnant by a Soviet soldier. That girl was my grandma. An unlikely marriage of two desperate people amidst the storm of history.

Let's phrase it another way. What if one of your parents decided to become a priest or a nun? What if they got really into a TV movie the night you were supposed to be conceived? What if Marty McFly accidentally seduced your mom instead?
