Comments by "Mark Zuckergecko" (@markzuckergecko621) on "Babies Are Not Products" video.

My fiancee and I are having a baby on Friday, during our process of regular check ups, and ultrasounds, and tests, and all that other fun pregnancy stuff, we've had numerous nurses and other "health care professionals" casually ask us if we're keeping the baby. Neither of us have voiced interest or even remotely suggested that we were considering abortion, we've been nothing but happy and optimistic throughout the whole pregnancy, so I have to assume this kind of push is just standard practice in modern healthcare, and it's gross, and unacceptable. And we live in Texas, abortion isn't even legal here. One of the younger nurses we spoke to early in the pregnancy started trying to tell us about other options we could look into about travelling out of state, even after we told her we were keeping the baby, after that she ignored me and started deliberately addressing my fiancee only, making sure to face her body away from me, as though I was holding my fiancee hostage or something.

My fiancee is pregnant (baby is coming in 3 days), and early on in the pregnancy they said that he had a cleft lip. They were wrong, there was just a physical obstruction on the ultrasound that made it look like that. I have a feeling these kind of "mistakes" happen very frequently in pre-natal care, we've also had several nurses ask us if we're keeping the baby, and not so subtly suggest options for us to have an abortion. It seems so inorganic too, it doesn't seem ideological, it seems like a monetary motiv. Pretty gross.

@frankie3010 she got pregnant a few months after we started dating. We're waiting till after the baby to actually get married, I don't want to add on the stress of a wedding with the standard stress of pregnancy, no matter how much a woman says a wedding is no big deal to her, it's a bigger deal to her than she lets on.

@Sigurther nothing will happen. It's seems so robotic, like they're actually instructed by the hospital to make sure every patient is given the spiel. I would probably just be laughed at if I complained about it.

@l33tninja1 well I'm 38, she's 40. So we weren't careful because we were going for the "being old" form of birth control🤣🤣🤣 for anyone wondering.... It's not effective. But we also discussed it beforehand and were ready to have a baby if we have a baby. Figured screw it, let's just roll the dice.

Now hold on democrats, let's find some kind of rational middle ground between transing all the kids and being normal and not transing any of the kids. Can we maybe just trans some of the kids?

Acceleration Quanta I don't really have any shit for her to take if it goes south, so I'll be fine.🤪

@Vercur that doesn't really apply here, little fella. Unless you're referring to yourself, liking your own comments.

@TheStarcleaver thanks! Yea everything has been good so far, she has a placenta plavia, so that's why we're having to have a C-Section, basically vaginal birth could be extremely dangerous to her especially, she could bleed to death, and it could be dangerous for the baby too, so we're having the C-section Friday because it's 3 weeks before she would be due, they want to make sure she doesn't go into labor. So that's a complication, but it's not that big of a deal, it's pretty common. Other than that, he's a healthy, normal baby, we'll have to be in the hospital for a few days bc he's gonna be right on that borderline of premature. All things considered it's been a pretty smooth ride so far.

@alaunaenpunto3690 she got pregnant a few months after we started dating, she's not giving birth a few months after we started dating.

@alaunaenpunto3690 yea so what? I'm the kind of man that knows what I want, I knew I wanted to be with her as soon as I met her.

@Vercur I didn't know that, I just guessed, but now we all know that since you admitted it🤣 there's a little thumbs up and thumbs down below the comments on Android, I'm not sure what it looks like on iphone. You can see how many likes a comment has but not the dislikes, since too many lefties got PTSD from people not liking their comments, YouTube changed that. All you can see on the dislikes is if you disliked the comment, you can't see the total number. I'm sure yours has plenty. And for the record, the dead giveaway is when someone makes a stupid comment like yours that nobody could possibly like besides the person who posted it, and it immediately has one like. Makes it pretty obvious who that like came from. If you want to pat yourself on the back without looking so obviously thirsty, make a comment, come back in about 5 minutes and then like your own comment. It's a little less obvious that way. Pro gamer tip.

@eliseosterbrink8000 yes, we didn't choose to have a C-section, she has to because of the placenta plavia. She was actually really upset about it at first, because of the potential complications, but a vaginal birth would be extremely dangerous, so she accepted it with some time. Plus she's really, realllllly ready to not be pregnant anymore, so she's good with it now. We're still undecided about what we're going to do going forward, when it comes to more kids, she had been wanting to have her tubes tied but started having some doubts a few weeks ago, so we decided against that. So we'll see.

I'm halfway expecting a leftist to unironically join this chat.

Acceleration Quanta you're glowing.

@rebeccaconlon9743 people are generally capable of taking on more responsibility than they want, if they don't have as many easy options to shirk that responsibility. It worked fine for us for the overwhelming majority of civilized history.

@jamesespinosa690 it definitely has. I was having a tooth pulled last week bc I had an infection, the dentist asked me if I regularly go to the dentist, I said hell no, I don't trust anyone in the medical field, it's all a huge insurance racket. Before he could think about it he started cracking up laughing, then he caught himself and said "that's not true", but he was still smiling. It was a kind of "wink wink, Naaaaaah we don't do THAT" but him and I both knew I was 100% correct. And that's just the slimy financial aspect of medical care. That's only scraping the surface compared to the slimy ideological side of it.

@mirceazaharia2094 thank you, the way I see it, our kid is going to have a leg up on his peers just because he's going to have both of his parents involved in his life every day. Seems like such a base level thing but it's actually relatively rare these days. Sadly.

@shadowbanned I knew someone who bought a trailer, and was having trouble finding somewhere to park it and live. That blew my mind. What in the fucking hell, you can't just park your trailer in the woods somewhere and live off the land? You have to pay "property tax". Now I understand 99% of people who own trailers probably want to hook up to electricity and plumbing and all that, so you want to go to a trailer park, you'll have to pay for some amenities, that's understandable. But it's not even LEGAL to just go park a trailer somewhere and live off the grid. Someone who wants to live that way probably doesn't give a shit if it's legal anyway. But just the fact that you could be legally penalized just for even trying to live off the grid is absolute insanity.

@connorperrett9559 rights granted by God are negative rights, they cannot be granted, only taken away. That is the rights I was referring to. Rights granted by the state are positive rights. There's a difference. Any right that's granted to you can be taken away. And you don't have to believe in God to recognize natural rights, or negative rights, or god given rights, whatever you want to call them. That's why I explained it the way I did, because this is a universal concept that isn't exclusive to any religion, or religion in general.

@Flynaneganshenanegans yea they've been pushing all sorts of tests on us too. Now if it's for something with mom, that she can manage while she's pregnant, sure, I understand that. Like "you're at risk for (x), so you probably shouldn't do (y)", ok, fair enough. But all the testing for potential conditions the baby could have, so what? If he has it he has it. We'll figure that out when the baby is born, and do whatever we need to do to help him be healthy. It's not gonna change anything. If he had Down's, he had Down's, that would be hard, but we would do it. Knowing ahead of time wouldn't change anything. They push all those test on you because they want to scare young mothers into having an abortion.

Leftists are eugenists. A lot of them are too stupid to realize it, but 100% of leftist policies and positions eventually circle around to mass murder if taken to their logical conclusion. That's the end goal of absolutely everything they advocate for.

@vincentcarl9907 that sweet, sweet fetus juice. There's a lot of medical applications for stem cells, and needless to say, a lot of ethical questions. But the elites in society don't really give a shit about ethics. Have you ever noticed how politicians and celebrities never die young, unless it's an accident or an overdose or something like that? They don't die in their 40s from normal stuff like cancer, like us normies do. Seriously, think of all the people you know, whether personally or through friends of friends and family and all that, who died from cancer or some other disease when they were pretty young. Probably a lot of people. Now think about how often rich and famous people die like that. Not very often. And that's out of all the thousands of people who would make the news if they died, because they're famous, compared to just the people in your personal circle.

@Vercur 1) your comment complaining about my comment being too long as just as long as my comment that you think was too long. 2) you can like your own comments if you want, but it shows you're a sad douche bag that needs the approval of strangers on the internet. 3) I didn't lie about anything, you just made up a story in your head and decided it's true just because you say so.

@Vercur also love how you deleted the comment I just replied to because you realized how stupid and pathetic it makes you look. I'll give you this though, you at least have a base level of self awareness, that's more than can be said for most leftists.

@Ms.Shortcake2008 yea I have very little trust or faith in the medical industry, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet, I'm not obsessively idealistic. I'm not gonna use a fucking midwife, we're not gypsies FFS, it's the 21st century.

@damian_cross do they still have doctors and hospitals in NYC? I figured pregnant women just go find a gutter and plop a baby out whenever it's time, and if it doesn't immediately get stolen by a homeless person to sell back for crack, voile, you have a baby.

Acceleration Quanta that's..... Not quite why males are typically larger and stronger in mammalian species. It's because men are more expendable, so generally do the hunting and all the other dangerous shit, because if we die, the next generation can still survive, but if a pregnant woman dies, that's it, bloodline over. So males are the front lines, and sure, that can often mean battling other males of the same species for dominance, but that's a side effect, the main purpose is for us to better hunt prey and protect the family, or the community, or whatever other social structure the particular species is a part of. It's also why women have better color vision on average, and men have better peripheral vision on average, men evolved to be more keen towards prey and predators, women are more keen towards flora, because when ancient humans were "hunter/gatherers", that typically meant the men were hunting and the women were gathering. Helps to be able to tell the difference between shades of red so you know which berries taste good and which ones will make you shit out your insides and die a horribly violent and slow death.

I don't think you're getting to the root there, the real problem is that there are so many so called adults that are not, and cannot ever be suitable parents. That is not normal, and it is not ok. Nearly all adults should be able to become suitable parents if forced into the role, even if they didn't want kids when they became pregnant or got someone pregnant, that is the stable and normal default of the human species, sometimes we don't want things or we're not ready for things, but when it happens, we have to just get ready real quick, because there isn't any other option besides being a horrible person, and society is supposed to frown upon people who choose the "be a horrible person" fork in the road. Now, our society claps and cheers for them, and frowns on people who do the right thing.
