I love how this comment section goes from the top comments at over 200 upvotes to -50 downvotes in less than 10 comments (at the time of writing this). And then looking at the scrollbar not even being halfway down the page, which is a weird reaction of “man, so many idiots here, but also nice seeing them all getting downvoted into oblivion”.
This is dark but funny, while it also sadly shows how many people here are brainwashed fucktards.
Recent Redditor influx?
Lemmy surprised me with this comment section. I would not have guessed the amount of religious chestnuts is so high on here
This was the top comment for me, and I thought it wasn’t going to be too bad.
Wow there are some hot takes down there.
It’s not that there’s a lot, it’s that the topic makes the few here open their mouth. Your the top comment right now. The post is upvoted. The community isn’t them.
Every wave of redditor carves out more space for it.
Endless September
Smells like summer in here
Dark, but funny.
This was the first thing I read after waking up on an otherwise beautiful Sunday morning. Thank you for encouraging me to follow my therapist’s advice to have a nice, peaceful routine before I check my phone lol.
“otherwise beautiful” just let girls have fun you fascist.
Can you remind me what fascist means? Because I’m starting to forget with how many times I read it used in a meaningless manner.
Funny, everyone who says that tends to be a Nazi. It’s like y’all all think your having the smartest take about the overuse of words when in reality you are saying you get called a fascist a lot.
God must’ve forgotten a baby holodeck on Earth back when she made it
Holy shit this dark humor got me good
Humor is sometimes the only remaining coping mechanism. Reminds me of a post I saw a few days ago of someone saying they won therapy when the therapist needed a pause to take in their horrific story of a life.
that’s like 90% of therapy clients though
sometimes you just gotta pause and consider what it’s like to live like that
That therapist’s therapist had better brace themself.
This is something special
Mind explaining this?
She keeps getting pregnant and having abortions.
Or miscarrying :(
That wouldn’t be her “sending it back”
To those who are having the miscarriage, it definitely can seem like it is.
It easily could. Religious funerals often say stuff like “were giving them back to you.”
Product recall
Except if she means that her body is sending them back. Then the post makes a lot more sense, her blaming god for miscarriages.
But the post says she sends them to god, not god sending and taking back so she clearly doesn’t blame god for miscarriage
If your body does something, then you do something.
Yes, if my body miscarries, I send the baby back to god. If I blame god for that, I wouldn’t phrase it that way.
Or a Texas school teacher…
She keeps getting a Texas school teacher and having abortions?
She’s a teacher in Texas and her students keep getting shot
Extended explanation: I suspect the “back and forth” is likely a reference to the “poop back and forth” scene in Miranda July’s 2005 film Me and You and Everyone We Know.
I remember watching that movie when it came out, that line is burned into my brain forever.
Don’t want kids? Fine, your body, your choice. But try using condoms, at the bare minimum.
As a supporter of choice I actually agree. Abortions are safe, but “no abortion” is safer than “an abortion”. Though I’d suggest a different form of birth control, condoms can be forgotten.
That said, to each their own. If you want to put your body through hell, have at it.
Abortions are apart of it sexually for me though. That and the ritualistic satanic blood sacrifice afterwards.
Undead armies are easier to raise by going to a cemetery.
And power can only be gained by sacrificing something you value. By your statement, you’re just expending purpose made discardables. No barganing value there.
It sounds like you don’t really believe “your body your choice” if you’re telling them what to do.
You know why I specifically mention condoms? Because it’s usually worn by men; if a guy doesn’t respect himself enough to wear one, unprompted, he’s not worth it.
Safe sex and all that.
My body, my choice actually applies to both parties in a sexual encounter.
Your body, their choice
Eventually, you’re making a new body (completely avoidable situation too!) that you’re disposing off like the result of a greasy kebab. If you don’t think this is heartless and irresponsible at the very least, then what do you think is?
I kill probably thousands of insects per day. An animal dies for roughly half of the meals I eat. The pollution from my car contributes to massive population decline among all animals near me, and slowly worsens the environment across the world. Every time I perform a single Google search, the AI engine wastes a non-neglibile amount of power that was more-than-likely generated via dirty means. Virtually every product I buy contributes to the plastic pollution in our oceans and our bodies.
Almost all of those situations are also avoidable. Are you also raging against these people for choosing actions that support the destruction of billions of billions of small animals and insects?
I’m not going to be convinced to be against removing a parasite from my body. That’s insane.

Rationalise it however you want. But you know you can’t equate these things, and as long as you’re not completely lost this will always be a thorn on your side. The mature human accepts the moral dimension of abortion, and whatever decisions and judgements they make/have made have to be seen through this lens as well (and not just amorally self-serving ‘practicality’).
The mature human accepts the moral dimension of abortion
Lol, no, sorry, get the fuck out of here with your moral absolutionist bullshit.
Removing an unthinking, unfeeling bundle of cells from my body so that it doesn’t destroy me is 100% morally and ethically fine - there is literally no issue whatsoever. It is actually no different than a man ejaculating into a sock - it is a potential life that is not yet real, and does not hold ownership of my body.
I think it’s worth pointing out their name. It might just be a novelty/troll account, so I wouldn’t get too into an argument with them.
Good luck.
An embryo isn’t a body any more than the yolk in a egg is a chicken. It’s called an abortion cause you are aborting the process of that embryo turning into a baby, and if you wanna label that as murder, then I guess I support murder. Sanctimonious assholes like you wouldn’t lift a finger to help these unwanted kids after they are born, they are better of never living in this shit hole cruel world
You don’t even know me, all you know is that I don’t think one should stop the process and discard what would’ve been another one of us so easily and uncaringly. You disagree with that? If that doesn’t matter to you, what does? Again, I’m not American, I actually believe God demands us to be righteous and try to put it to action to the best of my abilities and ever-evolving character.
next time you’ll be blaming lonely young people for not having sex because that’s “stopping the process as God intended, and discard the possibility of what would’ve been another one of us so easily and uncaringly”.
and then you will rally against those not having sex, and for restricing their freedoms and dehumanizing them.
I almost said good luck, but hell no
That’s not me but besides that and more importantly: you seem to have a good heart, and we might have just misunderstood each other. See you around!
I know you’ve got an asshole’s username and should’ve stayed on reddit
You’re not very warm, sunshine!
Yeah I doubt you actually do anything positive in this world, and if you only do good things cause you think it will make God like you, then you aren’t a good person at all. Also how do you even know there is a god, you have as much evidence for the existence of God as you do Santa clause yet you wanna ruin other people’s lives over this imaginary creature, grow up. If I was God I’d judge you to be a douchebag and would suggest you spend your life minding your own business,that’s the best thing you could do in this short meaningless existence.
Hey hey hey, I’m posting my opinion on the place you’re supposed to, just like you are. You came here to share your business and your takes on other people’s businesses!
You seem passionate and argumentative (and immature, but that might fix itself), I wish you the best in this short, meaningless existence! 😅
See you on the other side, if there is one
A kebob is made from a grown creature with more capacity for suffering than a recently conceived fetus. So if you’re willing to waste a kebab, I don’t see the problem with a voluntary abortion.
Do you also oppose handwashing since it kills other tiny critters?
Are you really equating us to bacteria? And the other guy, a kebab? Do I even have to say anything else?
There’s no more meaning to our life than a bacterias, we are only special to ourselves, a higher life form could consider us as nothing but bacteria from their perspective.
Philosophical, existential, meaning-searching “bacteria” is not the same as actual bacteria, right? Lol. But +1 for being civil!
How do you know bacteria isn’t searching for meaning, the problem with human centered thinking is that we can only define consciousness in terms of our own, cause that’s all we know and understand, doesn’t mean ours is the only way.
The basic perception here is the people you think are having abortions don’t exist. No one has abortions as birth control. Your view of the situation is so beyond real that you can’t even tell the difference between a joke and reality. You live in a bubble of hate and manipulation.
Oh, they do. More than you might think and much more than you want to accept.
You make the world a worse place
I didn’t say it’s a “common” thing nor do I believe it, because I live in this world and I know that for the vast majority of women this is a deeply traumatic experience, physically, mentally and spiritually. Of course thinking the way you think I do is wildly inaccurate to put it mildly, and I understand and share to some degree in your negative feelings towards folks who think this way, but I don’t. You’re fighting ghosts, not me, and I’d be offended by you thinking I’m that mentally challenged but I know it’s very common, especially in the West.
I’m just saying that IF this lady is one of those who are so far gone that they can casually dispose of their potential offspring and the joke about it online, she’s a horrible human being. Hopefully she’s not, and she’s just trying to make light of a horrible situation. That’s her business (that’s between her and God), sure, and this is my opinion.
IF this lady is one of THOSE.
I’m telling you THOSE people do not fucking exist. Commonly, uncommonly, rarely or epic drop table. They don’t exist. You are holding space in your heart for hate to a group that does not exist in reality, ready to pounce on women making a joke and accuse them of belonging to the evil group in your mind.
Talk about ghosts.
I read this as someone trying to get pregnant and having miscarriages.
That’s how I read it but I can see how it can be interpreted as having abortions.
Lmfao dumbass
Have you considered the statement might be facetious?
That’s a wild way to say you are sorely lacking in impulse control and/or sexual education.
Yes, that is exactly the kind of person we must force parenthood onto! Thank you for trying to make society better. God bless.
I don’t want this person to have kids and I don’t want this person to keep on flushing down potential kids either! We just have to wait this heartless lady out (if she’s actually casually aborting) and then she can have a chat with God about it.
This reads as if you think her getting pregnant takes a baby from someone else.
Also, it reads more like she wants kids and she’s having miscarriages. But, it’s unsurprising you’d think abortions right off the bat. And that’s exactly (only one of the reasons) why abortions should be legal. People like you will just assume a woman aborted and send her to prison for miscarrying.
Well, you could only be critical of it if she’s talking about abortions casually, else she’s just trying to cope with loss. And there’s nothing to say about it in the second case, I evidently commiserate like any other human worth the label. And what prison are you talking about? I’m not American, I don’t play by your nonsense, oppressive rules backed by amorality and a refusal to think, lol. You’re fighting a ghost here, not me. I already said she’ll talk about it with the One, I’d just avoid her like I avoid any other casually immoral person…
God is just a coping mechanism tho’? Absolutely no way, even if God existed, that there’s also an afterlife. Absolute insanity
Glad you live somewhere that doesn’t imprison women for bodily autonomy. The USA has in some states and so while that doesn’t apply immediately to you, the facts still stand that a woman should always have access to the option of an abortion.
Agreed, of course. :)
Are you going to feed these “potential kids”? Or anyone else’s?
Did you not read? These potential kids would’ve probably suffered much and perhaps lived an unavoidably miserable being raised by someone who so casually disposes of human life so I don’t disagree this is the best course of action if she cannot just take the pill/commit to celibacy. I’d rather she didn’t think hedonism/a nut is worth abortions but that’s her problem.
Or it’s a jokey joke on the internet. Wait, never mind, I forgot every internet post is 100% serious.
People who pump out babies they don’t want are no better in regard to those skills.
Or she was trying to get pregnant but miscarrying, which happens a whole damn lot and it’s heartbreaking.
excuse you, but by making use of abortions she’s proving the exact opposite, that she does have sex ed. otherwise she’d be too terrified of god smiting her for not being “pro-life”
But hey, she’s vegan! No killing animals, but babies are fair game!
I’m pro-choice but if you do it recreationally you’re a shit person in my book.
Congratulations, you’re dumb as fuck!
Unconstructive.
Brap brap pew pew I’m a baby killer. Baby killing makes me horny
Recreational abortions dont exist. There may be people with multiple abortions, but its not a situation women put themselves in. It’s not a fun day no matter the procedure.
Consider mental health, rape, stupidity, not everyone is you with your thought process. You may actually be above average intelligence, and if you are consider how scary that is. How many people don’t have the cause and effect reasoning you do. We can’t judge people with abortions if we can’t judge people with credit card debt.
There may be people with multiple abortions, but its not a situation women put themselves in.
Some people just don’t bother with protection. I personally know someone who is like that. It’s baffling
How many abortions has that person had?
Three that I know of. After that she’s just had kids with basically random men. I guess that’s one solution.
How is having kids with random men a better solution compared to an abortion.
Y’all are unhinged
When you clip your toenails do you cry too? Or do you just realize it for what it is, shedding dead cells.
Might want to read again because I definitely didn’t say it was a better solution
“Recreational abortions” is just forced birther propaganda, and it amazes me how many are gullible enough to think that people would go through such a traumatic and “shameful” experience (because of people who say ignorant shit like this) for recreational purposes.
It’s the same shit they said about gay people, and it’s the same shit they say now about transgender people. It’s always the same shit.
You have to be so goddamn blind to the whole situation to think “oh, yeah, those people me and all my friends shit on and harass? Those people chose to become hated, vilified, and criminalized by their peers and authority figures. Just because. For fun. Just a little recreational trauma. As a treat.”
And people of color before that.
If an animal is living inside your body against your choice, then a vegan would still have it removed.
early pregnancies are tiny dots of flesh, smaller than getting a mole removed or picking your nose. There’s no need to romanticise disposing of it, it’s barely beyond the stage of discarding a used condom.
Where is it implied that she does it recreationally? She may have done it multiple times but never for fun.
It could also be argued that she means “miscarriages” if her body is sending the souls of unborn children back to God.
I think it’s more likely miscarriages than abortions. I don’t see why she’d be upset about accidentally getting pregnant. At some point you’d have to blame yourself if really happened that. Or you’re being abused a ton and need to get out that situation.
You’re a shit person in my book, you old fuck.
I’ve explained the motivations of my statement, care to explain yours?
I think they hold issue with you perpetrating a myth that people have abortions for fun or fashion, which is usually a mindset that comes with a ton of other regressive beliefs.
“Kept sending babies to each other back and forth” does sound pretty casual
So by your estimation “God” casually sends babies to people who do not want them.
What a shitty thing to do to someone.
Lmao wut I don’t even believe in God
Because it’s a fucking joke
Well duh
Not op, but it’s likely because recreational abortions are as much a thing as recreational brick eating or something. Yet you’re implying they are a thing, for some reason.
I prefer root canals as a comparison.
Some people don’t brush their teeth well or often, or eat a bunch of sweets, and need root canals. It may be that they could have taken action to prevent it by exercising good oral hygeine, but they aren’t out there getting root canals for fun.
And then some people have a genetic predisposition to cavities and tooth decay, and even with good oral hygiene they still might end up requiring a root canal. And some people end up having an injury that results in a root canal, completely outside of their control.
But nobody is out there getting “recreational” root canals. The idea is stupid. And absolutely nobody is trying to restrict access to root canals because some people don’t brush well, or gasp had more than one root canal. Because root canals, though not the preferred choice, are a necessary part of dental care.
You don’t deserve downvotes for this. You recognize her choice is hers to make, and that’s the important part.
(She probably said it for comedy but someone “having recreational abortions” for real would probably be a shit person.)
Humor
Have you EVER talked to ANYBODY who really went for a recreational abortion? This is a myth and repeating this myth under a post that uses a hyperbole to make a joke / bring a point across is plain stupid. That’s why the person you answered to got rightfully downvoted.
I agree with you too, that’s why I said someone actually doing that would likely be a shitty person. This lady is very likely not having “recreational abortions”. They do deserve credit for at least recognizing a woman has a right to make that choice .
