Militant single issue for me. Champions get long term love. Traitors get til death vendettas. Worth it if you think of crypto as a re-founding.

I get the argument. No freedoms without crypto freedom. It’s the women’s rights issue that I think is going to make it hard for people in crypto to take that hardline stance. Nothing else is as polarizing, besides jab mandates. How much bodily autonomy can we afford to lose?

I don’t vote, so whatever… But most candidates seem to be trying to stop late term abortions. I don’t think cutting up a child produced by your actions is some sort of natural freedom to be protected. Induce labor & evict the child may be defensible, abortion is not that.

Bodily autonomy ends where another body begins. Sawing up another living body has nothing to do with a woman’s bodily autonomy.

Why is inducing labor & evicting the baby/fetus any different? Are you presuming that it's viable and somebody would be there to care for it until it can fend for itself? We saw up clusters of unwanted living cells in/on our bodies all the time. Cancer, parasites have rights?

You invite someone on your boat, & go out to sea. What’s the difference in chopping them up & throwing them out, or throwing them overboard with a flotation device? Cancer doesn’t have its own brain & heartbeat. Cancer is a corruption of cells, not a new human life.

Throwing them overboard, bloodied, in to a school of sharks would be closer. IMO they're the same. Human life isn't worth anything by itself. It's raw materials, potential. All sorts of things are needed to turn a human life in to something valuable, a person.

Eviction may = death, but better than being torn limb from limb. Abortionists are the sharks. There’s no clear line btwn fetus & child. Induce labor at 9 months it’s a baby, at 8mo it’s a baby, at 7mo it’s a baby. Anyone not opposed to late term abortion is a psychopath IMO.
