Something that i find prettyd disgusting these days is how certain people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives, for example, celebrating the russian invasion of ukraine because it is “a blow against US / NATO imperialism” completely ignoring all the warcrimes, the deaths, and the suffering generated by that war, the same happening with the palestinian genocide because “Israel is the only working democracy on the middle east”, acting like their ideoligies are going to bring back to life all the dead people somehow

        Why that line? We’ve sorted out when a living human is a vegetable, why not use similar standards for fetuses?

            But it isn’t able to sustain itsself outside of the body, so why is it alive on its own?
