Comments by "Miguel D Lewis" (@MiguelDLewis) on "The Bootcamp Where Students Train To Be Pro-Life Foot Soldiers" video.

It's not their body they're destroying. It's the baby's.

Imagine those probably 5,000 parents waiting until marriage before having children so they won't need the corrupt medical system. Imagine those probably 2,500 rapists getting caught because the police in their neighborhood is well-funded. Imagine those probably 2,500 mothers giving birth to girls who could potentially become law makers and initiate a fairer medical system. Imagine those 2,500 babies growing up, getting jobs, and paying taxes to support a more equitable medical system...

A crackhouse that sells shoes and socks is still a crackhouse. There are many discount clinics and state-sponsored healthcare programs available for women. Abortion clinics do not have a monopoly on affordable women's health services.
2
Jesus was against both abortion and the death penalty.
2
I'm pro-life and I agree. I plan on adopting 7 children once my fiancee and I buy a house.
2
No, the adoption agency up the street...

No one's "pro-choice". Pro-choice would mean allowing the baby to be born so they can experience life and then decide if they wanna die when they're an adult.

Planned Parenthood is a eugenicist organization. It wants to kill as many poor and brown people as possible.
1
@doctorwholover1012 I actually used to believe that too. I once thought the same way you did. But I grew out of it. And btw the Mormon Religion is full of insanity and contradictions so that anecdote about blood doesn't surprise me. Just speaking personally, I wouldn't trust anyone with my health who murders babies. That's a huge red flag if there ever was one. If a baby murderer will kill little girls, they'll kill grown women as well.
1
@allencolvin4320 It depends on what you mean by "socialized medicine". Some states have programs that give free health services to those who can't afford it. I personally rely on such a program for my health needs in this tough economic time. When I was an English teacher in Japan, I had access to diagnostics, prescription medicines, AND traditional herbal medicine all thanks to their state-run medical system. It literally costed me pennies, I'm not even joking; PENNIES!

@allencolvin4320 Don't assume I'm a conservative. The Lord and savior of humanity, Jesus Christ healed leprosy and blindness for many at no charge.
1
@allencolvin4320 Abortion kills little baby girls and stops them from becoming our future female leaders. Look at China and India. If we love women so much, we should stop killing them before they're even born.
1
@doctorwholover1012 That essay you typed is irrelevant because you're an atheist. There is no justification for your morality. It's just another opinion in a world full of opinions. God said "thou shalt not murder". Jesus said the penalty for killing a child is worse than death. Full stop.
1
@doctorwholover1012 Also, adoption is an option. I plan on adopting at least 7 children once I finish school, start working, and marry my fiancee. There is no excuse for killing babies.

If abortion kills baby girls, does it still support women's rights? One of those girls might be the next president.
1
You're not pro-choice. If you were pro-choice, you'd support a baby's choice to grow up and experience life.

@torismith274 Abortion denies women bodily autonomy. Most abortions globally are against baby girls. It's femicide.
1
@torismith274 The US inevitably imposes it's policies on the world the media, war, and globalization. Anything that happens in the US affects the globe. We're the only global superpower. Abortion is gender-based violence against girls perpetuated by men. Criminalizing abortion won't stop femicide entirely but it will help curb the femicide of little girls yet to be born.
1
@torismith274 Sir or madam, you just suggested that legalizing the murder of little girls will save women. Killing females doesn't save females. And though countries with no abortion restrictions may have a higher survival rate of women who get abortions, those women often fall into depression and feel guilt and regret after killing their baby, prompting some to even commit suicide or accidently OD. Abortion helps no one and neither does legalizing it. Human life is precious and with preserving. No one deserves the death penalty, especially not an unborn child.
1
@torismith274 What species is the fetus inside a pregnant woman? What kind of DNA does that fetus have?
1
@torismith274 Thank you for conceding that they are human. Because they are human, you must agree that they're entitled to Human Rights, including the right to life. Abortion is, ergo, a Human Rights violation.

@torismith274 If the government has no right to interfere, why do Eugenics abortion clinics like Planned Parenthood rely on government funding?

@SeeYaLove-lh3db There have been about 160 female presidents and prime ministers, many of whom come from Asian countries in which they were at higher risk of being murdered in utero. Also, Oprah's life was ruined by an unfit parent and she was also abused and homeless. Should Oprah have been aborted too? Should we not give unborn women the choice to be born?
1
@SeeYaLove-lh3db Are you going to answer my questions? I answered yours, with all due respect.
1
@torismith274 Abortion causes physical harm to little baby girl in utero. It's not that I want women to suffer without their consent. The most vulnerable women are those who have not yet been born and they should not be murdered without their consent. Do you want to force unborn women to be permanently harmed physically, mentally, and emotionally when they're poisoned/violently ripped apart in utero?
1
@SeeYaLove-lh3db You didn't answer my questions so I'll repost them. Should Oprah have been aborted too (since you said that abortion helps children avoid the homelessness and abuse that she endured)? Should we not give unborn women the choice to be born?
1
@torismith274 Sir or madam, you fail to answer my previous question, with all due respect. If the government has no right to interfere or decide, why do Eugenics abortion clinics like Planned Parenthood rely on government funding?
1
@torismith274 According to Planned Parenthood's annual report for 2019-2020, they received $618,000,000 in federal funding. You're either ignorant or you're lying. Either way, now that you know, do you still think the government has no right to decide? It's deciding already.
1
@torismith274 Sir is fine, thank you. Ignorance is not an insult. There are many things I'm ignorant about myself. No one knows everything. Grants and reimbursements aren't a form of funding? Money is not going from one party to another in a non-purchase capacity?
1
@torismith274 I'm not insinuating anything. The government interferes with the decisions of unborn women by funding Eugenicists to murder them. The government puts hundreds of millions of dollars towards murdering babies but won't fund Pregnancy Resource Centers who give out diapers, formula, and parenting classes unless they also give out harmful birth control pills. And just because these Eugenicists sometimes run legitimate clinics who are prohibited from conducting baby murders, it doesn't negate the baby murders. The Mafia also runs legitimate night clubs and restaurants alongside their assassination business. How can you say the government hasn't decided for women when it funds baby murder but doesn't fund pregnancy recourse centers?
1
@torismith274 No, THE definition of funding comes to me via the Merriam-Webster and Oxford Learner's dictionaries respectively. Yes, Pregnancy Resource Centers provide healthcare. They usually give women FREE sonograms and pediatric checkups for infants. Yet in order to receive the same government funding, they have to also give out harmful birth control pills.
1
@torismith274 But all of this doesn't really matter as much. "Choice" leaves women with post-abortion syndrome and kills little girls but it's not about women's well-being. It's about abortion industry profits.
1
@torismith274 The Cut and Vox are biased and aren't a primary sources. But all of this talk about funding really depends on this question that I pose to you. At what age does a child become eligible for Human Rights?
1
@torismith274 Which claim would you like me to cite first? I'll send whatever sources you like but I ask that you first answer my question: At what age does a child become eligible for Human Rights?
1
@torismith274 What fact about Pregnancy Resource Centers would you specifically like me to cite, Tori? Copy and paste the quote that you would like me to cite. I've given many facts from many reputable sources so you have to be a little more specific.
1
@torismith274 The YouTube algorithm seems to be deleting my link from the gov website so just google "HHS Title X grant requirements".
1
@torismith274 Your link says "Page Not Found". It also comes from a source that's over a decade old and from a program most likely initiated under the Bush administration. So no, my claim isn't incorrect. Hormonal contraceptive is mandated in the Title X grantee requirements. It's unfortunate that YouTube doesn't allow the .gov link that I wish to share or you'd be able to see it for yourself. Since we're both unable to send our respective links successfully, I restate my previous question. At what age should a child be eligible for Human Rights?
1
@torismith274 That's a strawman fallacy and a red-herring. I never said that the government doesn't fund Pregnancy Resource Centers. You're misquoting me. I said they only fund them if they give out hormonal contraceptive as a part of their program. Tax exemption as a result of their 501(c)(3) status isn't funding. From what else can Pregnancy Resource Centers receive Federal grants and reimbursements, other than Title X? As for Planned Parenthood, they voluntary refused federal funding after the gag rule was implemented. They weren't forced to do anything. But I suspect you focus on this really minor funding issue so that you don't have to answer the most pertinent questions at hand: At what age does a child become eligible for Human Rights?
1
@torismith274 "Birth" isn't an age. And even if children were only given Human Rights at birth, doesn't that mean abortion denies a child the right to choose whether she's born or not? How can you be "pro-choice" if you don't support the child's right to choose? I'm not against women receiving proper healthcare. Were it up to me, the US healthcare system would be free for any citizen who's unable to pay. I'm against children receiving improper healthcare which goes against the Hippocratic Oath of doing no harm. I support a child's right to choose whether she wants to live or not.
1
@torismith274 The fact that you haven't yet answered my question may mean you should change your stance on abortion, Tori. I used to be pro-choice too, until I realized that it's ablist, among other things.
1
@torismith274 You said that the child "can't form" decisions. How do you know that the child can't form decisions? Are you saying that children don't become aware of their own existence until after their born? And even if they can't, isn't that ablism? You're discriminating against a group of people and treating them like second-class citizens due to their physical/cognitive limitations.
1
@torismith274 5 Days have past and you still have no scientific evidence to prove that babies in utero lack a cognitive decision-making capacity? I'm not surprised at all.
1
@torismith274 1. This is not a peer-reviewed study from a developmental cognitive neuroscience journal. 2. This website says nothing about a baby's decision-making capacity. You will need to actually show proof for your claim, not post a link to an unrelated and unreliable topic.
1
@torismith274 Asking for evidence for your claims isn't grasping at straws. If you're claiming that pigs can fly, you need proof. Sagan himself said "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". Thanks for swallowing your pride and taking back that ludicrous and ableist statement. That's very mature of you. However, the absence of evidence for decision-making ability is no reason to murder a baby. Aside from giving the mother Post Abortion Stress Syndrome as well, it impedes on the child's choice to live and denies them the basic Human Right of life. There is no way to prove that a baby in utero has a decision-making capacity because there is no way to prove that anyone who has sensory, motor, and speech limitations, whether due to age, disorder, or disease, has a decision-making capacity. So you must also redact any arguments about cognitive ability as these all are ableist as well, right?
1
@torismith274 I don't need to provide evidence that babies can make decisions because my belief in Human Rights isn't dependent on ability. Babies may not be disabled but discriminating against them and assuming they can't make decisions without evidence is still ableism as it imposes upon them an alleged limitation that they likely do not have. Claiming that children can't be the president is a false comparison fallacy because presidential elections have more to do with executive office laws, lobbyist funding, and electoral college votes than physical/mental ability. For example, I could never be president primarily because I have no campaign funds. That's not ableist, right? Also, there's no need to note my spelling. I said nothing about your spelling or misspelling (which is as bad as mine). But this shows something interesting: this is all about ego for you. You don't care about children or pregnant mothers. All you care about is your image. Why else would you bring up spelling even though you also have spelling errors and you could comprehend everything I'm typing despite my spelling errors? If you want something to scrutinize, scrutinize my points and not my spelling ability. This is a comment section, not a spelling bee.
1
@torismith274 Limitations are irrelevant. We all have limitations and undeveloped mental capacities in some area of our lives, whether born or unborn. That doesn't mean any of us should be slaughtered en masse. Adults can't survive independent from the biosphere but that doesn't give anyone an excuse for committing murder, no?
1
@torismith274 As long as you redacted that asinine statement about fetal cognition, your "pro-choice" philosophy stands on crippled legs.
1
@torismith274 It’s only been 3 days actually. I thought you were done. You said were exhausted. But I guess being in denial takes a great deal of mental energy so I honestly don't blame you. I too suffered from exhausting cognitive dissonance when I was pro-choice as well so I definitely understand. 1.[jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/481643] 2.[jag.journalagent.com/ejm/pdfs/EJM_25_3_477_483.pdf] 3.[link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12905-017-0417-8] In all these studies, it seems that some of the women don't report any negative emotional changes after their abortion. However, this means very little as most psychopaths report no negative emotional changes after they murder their victims either. But some mothers do experience emotional changes after their abortion and some men do as well if they were the father of the aborted baby. People who rank high in trait neuroticism in their personality spectrum tend to be at a higher risk for Post-Abortion PTSD as well. But all of this is a minor aside. As for the evidence of a fetuses decision-making capacity and frontal cortex activity, my argument for babies' rights isn't dependent upon either of these factors but here you go anyway: 1.[onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/hbm.10139] 2.[www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00354/full] 3.[www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S016643280400004X] YouTube keeps deleting my comments so you’ll have to insert “https://” before every link prior to copying and pasting.

When did I say the participants were psychopaths? That’s a huge straw man fallacy. Go back and read what I typed.
1
@torismith274 Comparing child murderers to psychopaths is the same as saying all child murderers are psychopaths?
1
@torismith274 That question is based on a false premise. It is possible to compare child murderers to psychopaths without stating they're the same. I never said they were the same, just similar. Albert Fish raped, killed, and ate hundreds of children but he was never formally diagnosed with psychopathy or dissocial personality disorder.
1
@torismith274 What part of "I never said they were the same" don't you understand? I can name a dozen child murderers and serial killers off the top of my head who were never diagnosed with psychopathy.
1
@torismith274 How much more clarity do you need? Be specific or I can't help you.
1
@torismith274 Your lack of specificity proves that you actually don't want clarity. Reflect and ask yourself what you really want, Tori. What are the true intentions which lurk deep inside your conscience?
1
@torismith274 It's misogynistic to be against the mass femicide of unborn baby girls? Also, there's no need to make false accusations of misogyny. I respect you and would never falsely accuse you of anything. We can be kind to each other despite our philosophical disagreement.
1
@torismith274 1. You don't know what reproductive organs I have. 2. "The biosphere is a single living organism" - Carl Sagan 3. People who heartlessly murder children can be compared to psychopaths regardless of their sex or gender identity.
1
@torismith274 1. Since you falsely assume what reproductive organs I have and you falsely assume the fertility of those organs, it may be wise for you to also reflect on other false assumptions you may hold. 2. You again, have no evidence to prove or even suggest that the biosphere has no conscious. Sagan's extensive, pioneering research in astrobiology strongly suggests that the planet's self-regulating and regenerating ecosystems are identical to those found in multicellular organisms like us humans, suggesting his claim is most likely correct. 3. According to Oxford and Merriam-Webster, a fetus is, by definition, a child in a stage of early development. Ergo, abortion isn't only comparable to child murder, it's synonymous with it. I'd stop the maniac from killing all three of the children if it's in my power and authority to do so, hypothetically.
1
@torismith274 1. You claimed I'd never experience pregnancy. How do you know what organs I have and if those organs are fertile? 2. It's not a known fact. We don't even know what consciousness is objectively. The Cartesian maxim can be applied to the Earth if we consider it as a contained system capable of energy consumption, regeneration, reproduction, and self-defense. All organisms do these things and so does the Earth. 3. A fetus is a stage of childhood. Look up "child". It doesn't matter if the child is born or not, they're still a child. 4. Your question is a false dichotomy fallacy. In no real life situation would that ultimatum need to be made by me.
1
@torismith274 1. You talked about privilege as if it's something I'd never have to deal with personally, as if I'm somehow immune to it. 2. No the consciousness of the Earth can be equated to the consciousness of all living organisms, regardless of their sex or gender identity. 3. An aborted fetus is a murdered child. 4. It's a false dichotomy fallacy in a hypothetical situation. Either way, I'd never be faced by such an ultimatum. I think it's best to consider things how they are, not how they might be.
1
@torismith274 1) "You refuse to acknowledge the importance of a woman’s decision in anything. Whether the decision is to terminate a pregnancy for reasons you, sir, never have to experience, or if the decision is to become pregnant with a partner through IVF." Tori, let's not be delayed. 2. That question is posed under yet another false premise. 3. Yes it is. Ergo, murdering a child is horrific no matter where they are. Whether they're in a uterus, traveling through a vaginal canal, or outside of one is irrelevant.
1
@torismith274 I'm not your pal. If you were referring to my philosophy and not my moral stance, how do you know whether or not I will go back to supporting abortion? I'm not using an argument from fallacy Tori. Your arguments genuinely are fallacious for the most part and I'm just noting that so you can understand why I won't address those arguments. Straw mans, Red-herrings, and false dichotomies don't give much room for reasoning. And just because one form of child murder is legal doesn't make it right. The "head-hunting" of Native Amerindians was once legal in the US too. But just because it was legal doesn't mean it's not genocide.
1
No, it isn't ironic. Killing isn't bad. We must kill in order to live. MURDER is bad. Murdering an innocent baby is very different from eating a burger so you don't starve.

@commonsenseamerica1685 "Your comment is stupid." Well tell em how ya really feel! lolz

If abortion kills baby girls, does it still support women's rights? One of those girls might be the next president.

Jesus loves all children, whether they're born or unborn.
1
@petelarosa282 You're anti-abortion and anti-death penalty? Man you sound like a true Christian. You really listened when Jesus said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". :)
1
Religion is critical thinking if it's of the Judeochristian tradition. Without God, there's no justification for any moral stance. God takes our subjective moral stances and turns them into objective ethics. Without that, they're just opinions.
1
@Obsolete.videos Actually he is. Jesus is the only one. HIndus have many Gods with many different beliefs. Buddhists have no God. Muslims have a God who lies. The Aztecs had a God who ate children. Egyptians had Gods who had no moral principles or commandments. The only logical option left is Jesus.
1
What's even more cult like is killing babies. The Canaanites and Aztecs used to do that to worship their Gods.
1
@madelinehodgkins3419 They weren't pro-choice though. Most of the babies they killed were little girls. They didn't give those baby girls a choice when they burned them alive for their patriarchal, phallic dragon gods.
1
@madelinehodgkins3419 I'm afraid now is no different from ancient times. Most aborted babies are little girls and femicide is still rampant. The only women who have rights these days are the ones who are alive. And even then, the vast majority of the ones who get abortions do so because their selfish, irresponsible boyfriends force them. Most would rather keep their child. So I guess women only have de jour rights. De facto, the men are still convincing them to kill their own daughters.
1
@madelinehodgkins3419 But hey, more abortions means less baby girls which means less female political power and more male power to keep our patriarchy in power.
1
@madelinehodgkins3419 Are you deleting my comments?
1
@madelinehodgkins3419 Hmmm interesting...
1
Maybe there's some comment moderator afraid that women will stop killing their baby girls, and ergo, threaten the status quao.

Jesus was against both abortion and the death penalty.

1
@lopezcarmencecilia It's a rhetorical question. One of the political feminist ideals is to have a female president but if you kill her before she's born, that goes against that ideal, regardless of how many serial killers and rapists also get killed. Child murderers don't care about baby's potential, whether born or unborn.
