The latest argument in defense of baby murder is that people don’t truly believe fetuses are people because nobody has funerals for miscarriages.
That’s the argument put forward by someone who claims to have been seen on the Late Show with Colbert and Portlandia and it’s the weirdest and dumbest argument I’ve ever seen in defense of baby murder.
This is a change of tone for me on here but I don’t think anybody actually believes fetuses are people. I think they’re lying. There are almost 1,000,000 miscarriages each year in America, it happens to almost everybody. But we’re not constantly getting invited to the funerals.

Actually some people do have funerals for their child who died in a miscarriage. And for most if not all who grieve, it’s a very personal and profound loss to have to deal with. And these mothers and fathers grieve because they DO BELIEVE it is a person. It is their child. They aren’t lying about it.
Nobody who says “abortion is murder” is out carrying signs that “and miscarriages are suicide.”

Miscarriages are suicide? That doesn’t even make sense. Why would anyone ever call a miscarriage suicide? The baby isn’t terminating it’s own life, something external or internal to its body causes it to dies.
This guy should have never opened this mouth because we all see what a moron he is now.
Nobody who says a fetus is a life that god wanted to bring into the world talks about how a million times a year he just, uh, changes his mind.

God doesn’t kill these children. This guy has absolutely no clue what he’s talking about. He’s clearly out of his depth.
Nobody’s passing laws to reduce miscarriages, they’re not holding rallies, and Justice Alito gave ZERO DOLLARS of his $4 million net worth toward research on aneuploidy, which causes 60% of them.

How would anyone reduce miscarriages by passing laws? Seriously, this guy is must making stuff up at this point. Miscarriages most often happen naturally. They can be brought on by abuses of drugs or alcohol or external trauma. But to suggest that because people are lying because they aren’t rallying to pass laws against miscarriages is, to be frank, dumb as hell.
We rarely talk about miscarriages even though they happen to basically everybody you know. They’re devastating, but not because of souls. Nobody talks about how they can’t wait to be reunited with their fetus in heaven because they don’t actually believe that.

This guy knows nothing about miscarriages so how would he know if they’re devastating or not? The entire reason the are devastating is because it’s the loss of a life, the loss of a child. And the reason people don’t talk much about them is BECAUSE they are devastating. It’s very personal and profound. I can’t imagine suffering that way and wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
Here’s a little reaction I saw to his tweets:
This is disgustingly insensitive.

What a gross thing to say. I had a miscarriage and My husband and I mourned as if we lost a child. Because we did lose a child.

This is such a mind-numbingly stupid take. I hope someone in your life who has experienced a miscarriage (or has a soul) checks in and tell you to delete your account.

This is one of the most ignorant tweets I've seen in a while. People mourn miscarriages all the time and some have funerals or memorial services. Its traumatic and sorrowful. Nobody tells someone who miscarried, "oops, better luck next time". They offer their condolences.
