Other people can have different ideas about what is morally correct, and it isn't some barbaric idea that an unborn person should not be allowed to be killed. You may not agree with it with your moral calculus, but it shouldn't be unreasonable to see someone else's perspective. You really need to step out of your bubble and tune your hostility way down because it comes off as very childish

The argument is about making abortion illegal, I called it out as a barbaric idea, because it is. You are free to harbor such ideas, you are free to misrepresent the issue by calling a clump of cells an unborn person, and I'm free to call all of this out, especially because it is being forced on millions of women for no reason, ruining many lives.

It's reasonable to be angry under such circumstances. Adults are allowed to be angry too. I wish we would be angry about more things, instead of being complacent all the time.

Yes, continue shouting at everyone who has a different opinion than you that it is barbaric. I'm sure it will change hearts and minds and make everyone think you're a mature adult.
Different opinion, no, illegal abortion, yes, I'm shouting. The issue is bigger than me, or how I look.

Pregnancy is a risky business, evolution made it that way for humans, it's basically a biological war between the mother and the baby. There is no reason to let millions of women die for a religious doctrine if we can help it. Criminalizing abortion doesn't even save the unborn, it just causes unsafe abortions and much more women to die, along with the unborn.
