Want to hear a prophecy?

[HTacianas]

Okay. I'm using "prophecy" kind of tongue-in-cheek but I don't think it's all that off in this case. Seems a New York congresswoman wants to eliminate the word "abortion" from the abortion debate. She said:

“I would suggest you stop throwing the word abortion around because you think it’s one that is going to raise the emotions above having reasonable conversation,” Rice told Francis. “[The] word has been weaponized, in my opinion, by certain people in this country because if we’re going to have a real conversation about this, we have to stop using language that is going to prevent an actual meaningful conversation from happening.”

I'm betting social media companies will soon ban the term "abortion" from their platforms. Or at least try to. We'll see.

How much are you willing to bet? What exactly are the terms?

One Doge coin over the next twelve months.

One Doge coin over the next twelve months.

Hm, at a current market value of 7 cents, it's not worth the effort.

Anyway, I'll leave my own prophecy. Neither Facebook/Insta nor Twitter nor YouTube nor TikTok will ban the word 'abortion' at any time over the next 12 months.

Is the suggested replacement term "fetus deletus"?

The prophecy surrounding abortion called rare but available was a false prophecy. The other prophecy turned out to be true. Give an inch take a mile.

lol wut.

There were no such prophecies, though.

I'm still trying to get my head around the number of "prophets" who claimed Trump would be president now, in his second term, and how they almost all claim they were not wrong.

 

[littleangelone]

if this prophesy is true i'll belive it, if not then it's false

Many were right here!

Sure there was. I'm surprised you are not aware of fairly recent history.

How the abortion debate moved away from "safe, legal, and rare"

Or do you think only the Bible has persons giving prophecies? Because that would be incorrect. Plenty of other people like making predictions about the future.

Except it wasn't a prophecy, or even a prediction. It wasn't part of a platform, or even a campaign slogan. It was a phrase used occasionally by politicians on the campaign trail. It was also meaningless, because "rare" is a pretty vague term.

The other prophecy turned out to be true. Give an inch take a mile.

This was also never a prophecy, nor was it a prediction, and it certainly never came true. Abortion rates were decreasing. Nobody was taking a mile of anything.

That doesn't make them true, or relevant.

It was thought to be a prediction, just like another prophecy called, lies, damned lies and statistics, which you just used. The abortion rate going down is playing with numbers.

 

[NxNW]

Thought by whom?

The abortion rate going down is playing with numbers.

"Give an inch take a mile", was neither predicted nor reality.

"Give an inch take a mile", was neither predicted nor reality.

I heard that prediction and gave a link to confirm it. That's how I and many people thought it turn out to be like. No person wants to see their mother, sister or daughter denied essential health care. Ultimately it was the proverbial give an in take a mile approach that turned out to be true.

It’s abortion happening less often. How is the rate of abortions declining for decades taking a mile?

 

[Norbert L]

Because it's exactly like denying the Holocaust but more, only tens if not hundreds of millions have been murdered. This decline argument is like saying only 5,999, 999 Jews were murdered, therefore the 6 million genocide of the Jews in WW2 should not be an issue.

To believe that murdering a child is OK because the rate was declining is playing with words that doesn't make that line of reasoning any less of an evil.

Nobody made such a claim, nor does this thread have anything to do with murdering children.

It's probably why the congresswoman wants to eliminate the word abortion from the abortion debate. It has always been about murdering unborn children in numbers that comparably make the genocide of the Jews look like a drop in the bucket.
