No this pope is not based. He’s a relatively good one as far as they go, but he is still the head of a corrupt yet highly influential political/religious entity, he’s a step backwards from Francis in regards to several social issues mainly those involving gender and sexuality, and he’s been involved in multiple SA coverups
I was just going to say this. I think it’s an irrelevant comparison because you are trying to put unborn children and criminals/murderers on the same scale of judgement. I’m not sure it’s a fair fight simply because one population has no say in the outcome of their life if abortion is chosen. The other has made conscious decisions that resulted in them receiving the death penalty.
So then what of the illegal immigrants (as that’s what the pope is discussing)? There are innocent children who have no say. People who were part of programs that lapsed or never came to fruition, but going home will lead to certain death. The ones who get subjected to horrible treatment while they await their fate.
Not every illegal immigrant will (just like not every illegal immigrant is dangerous), but when they get sent to countries they don’t remember, active conflicts, or new countries they have never been death is a very likely outcome. In some cases it’ll be fine, but this isn’t simple.
But you do realize that’s not what’s happening, right? Some countries won’t take back their citizens so they are being sent elsewhere. And what about people who came here with asylum promises, plans for green cards as they can’t be safe in their country. For example, they helped the U.S. military in an armed conflict. Do we send them back? What about kids who were adopted overseas? Only recently were they guaranteed to become U.S. citizens. Or came here legally, but stayed illegally?
I’m not saying it is. What I’m saying is a good amount of illegal immigrants came here legally. They have lived here legally and abided by the laws. At some point, their visas, asylum, etc. expired. In many cases those programs were abruptly cut this year. These are people who built lives here, contribute to society. Not all do that, but there has to be some leniency. If anything, it’ll help ensure that the resources are dedicated to the serious criminals and people aren’t against that.
So by your words, a pregnant illegal immigrant’s unborn child does not hold the same value of life as that of a pregnant us citizen? I think you need to reevaluate your stance. You’re either pro life for everyone or you’re not. If that’s not the case then leave women alone with their choice to have an abortion or not. You sound like an absolute dickhead.
I never claimed to be pro life. I’m not even religious. I don’t view pro choice vs pro life as a black and white issue. I view abortion as a grey area that requires nuance. If an illegal who is pregnant has a child here and the mother is caught her options are take her child with her or leave it here. She doesn’t get to stay
An abortion by literal definition is before 20 weeks. If it’s an incomplete abortion it’s means some pregnancy tissue was expelled from the uterus before the viability mark at 20 weeks dude. Holy shit, if you’re gonna have this stupid of a stance on abortion at least be educated on the topic.
