The biggest problem with this "us vs. them" mentality everyone seems so eager to jump towards, is that since both sides must always be opposed, you're now on the side that is against free speech. That's going to do nothing but strengthen their side and weaken yours. Open your heart to other humans, especially the ones you don't like. Try to understand them and realize you can hold your beliefs without silencing theirs. How will anyone change if nobody talks to each other? Words are what make us human, they have the power to change everything. It's how we've survived as long as we have. One "hello" from a fellow human can save a suicidal persons life. The only way you can change the world is if you speak your heart and listen to others.

I know there is a lot of hate and nonsense out there but you're grouping it all together under one image and painting everyone who doesn't think like you as the enemy. It's not helpful. Yes, they do it too, but that's not an excuse. Be better.

Exactly, and that's why this topic is important to me. I don't wanna be silenced for wrongthink.

There is truth in all perspectives and denying that helps no one, including yourself.

If you think you can force your subjective will on billions of people by plugging your ears and shouting "I'm right" you're going to be very disappointed by life.

Thank you for speaking your truth. We need more of this and less careless disregard for the beliefs of others. Understanding is the only way to grow as a species. Calling a life a clump of cells may be true in some senses but not in all. If you think we're all just clumps of cells that's fine, but that's not what the pro lifers see. Disregarding that fact only weakens your position and strengthens your "opposition's".

It was always a crime to secretly force a stillbirth at 28 weeks and then bury the body without telling anyone. 28 weeks is almost 7 months (edit: math is hard). She had plenty of time to do it legally.

Not to be that guy but Democrats were all up on Putins dick like 20 years ago. He came and spoke at some universities and denounced the war in Iraq. It was good publicity for him for sure. I thought he seemed pretty chill but I was barely a teenager yet.
