Overpopulation is a convenient scapegoat so we can continue to consuem

The White People backlash against Black Lives Matter
An aromantic perspective on love songs
A 'No Brilliant Jerks' policy has never been more necessary
Haven't read this article yet, but: have you ever considered that maybe Rodney McKay, Tony Stark, and Cumberbatch's Sherlock are actually weapons on behalf of toxic jerkoid masculinity?
Jews and abortion
Christianity, and the moral tragedy of vaccines
Wrestling with the realisation that our modern vaccines are made from products originally gained through abortion.
Catholics, abortion, and the vote against Trump

I've HAD an abortion. It wasn't a moral tragedy! and frankly I find that framing offensive.
It was a perfectly straightforward medical procedure when a condom broke.
I had a positive pregnancy test just before I had to go to work.
At lunch time I picked up my mobile phone and started calling around to find out where I could book an appointment to terminate the pregnancy.
The alternative would have been being legally connected to a physically and verbally abusive man for the next 18 years. Oh, and losing my job and not being able to financially support myself.
I knew I didn't want children, I had spent my entire adult life using a series of oral contraceptives, IUDs, Implanon implants, and condoms.
I was actually waiting for a tubal ligation when the condom broke. I had seen a gynaecologist who had said "29 is too young to know that you want a tubal ligation, you will change your mind about not wanting children, come back in 6 months" and during that 6 months a condom broke.
Having a child that I didn't want, which would have made it impossible to cut all ties with an abuser?
An abuser who would have sought custody of that child, and who would have
verbally abused it
emotionally abused it
psychologically abused it
been physically violent to it?
THAT would have been a moral tragedy.
