@Sprite_z0@thebigcheese99@ThoughtfulSaint Plus, we can take some practical steps. Make it illegal to sell sperm except to married hetero couples who have gone through background checks (like for adoption). Make surrogacy contracts illegal and unenforceable. Give preference to hetero married couples for adoptions. Etc.
@Sprite_z0@thebigcheese99@ThoughtfulSaint You’re correct that the right to a mother and father is often difficult to enforce under the law in ways that actually protect the children at issue, including this one. However, that doesn’t mean we should not speak out in encouraging recognition of that right as a moral issue.
@DrWumbology@Mason1468691 Asking a member of the church to not believe their loved ones who’ve rejected the Gospel have deviated from the path to everlasting joy is asking such members to reject their own beliefs. The morning of loved ones who’ve left the church is a corollary of that belief.
@DrWumbology@Mason1468691 But atheists don’t feel any real pain at the thought of someone they care about converting from atheism to a religious way of life, do they? Because they don’t believe atheism brings real joy or blessings the way a Christian believes following Christ brings those things.
@GO_Chinpokomon@Katy_Faust@KristanHawkins If two convicted pedophiles want to pay a poor woman smuggled into the country from a third world country to have a baby for them, do you support that?
@GO_Chinpokomon@Katy_Faust@KristanHawkins You’re going in circles and not making any coherent arguments. Laws that would prevent surrogacy are necessary not to prevent more children from being born. They are to prevent intentionally creating a life in way that is cruel to the child and necessarily harmful.
@GO_Chinpokomon@Katy_Faust@KristanHawkins You lie again. You haven’t read the studies she cites. You resort to arguments about her motivations because you can’t deal with the FACTS. Which of the studies that she cites to are scientifically invalid and why?
@GO_Chinpokomon@Katy_Faust@KristanHawkins We have all sorts of laws that prevent illegal contracts from being enforced. I also support making prostitution illegal. Is it an infringement on the liberty of the prostitute and the John? Perhaps in some sense. But it protects the most vulnerable women from inevitable harm.
@GO_Chinpokomon@Katy_Faust@KristanHawkins I am not for preventing them from reproducing. I am for laws that prevent them from entering into a contract that allows them to buy a child from a birth mother using a contract. That is a critical distinction that you keep ignoring.
@GO_Chinpokomon@Katy_Faust@KristanHawkins The logic I rely on to support that argument cannot be applied to prevent anyone from birthing THEIR OWN CHILDREN. That’s because we can’t make it illegal to have irresponsible unprotected sex in any practical way that protects children.
@GO_Chinpokomon@Katy_Faust@KristanHawkins It should be illegal to purchase human beings or rent human bodies. It should be illegal to create a baby in way that will necessarily harm it. You don’t have a valid argument against this so you keep mischaracterizing the position.
@GO_Chinpokomon@Katy_Faust@KristanHawkins Again, you’re just dishonest about what’s really happening because your position is so evil. My motto is it’s better for people not to create a precious life unless that child can be birthed and raised by their biological parents because that is what’s best for every child.
@GO_Chinpokomon@Katy_Faust@KristanHawkins It’s a HUGE deal. Youre just too willfully ignorant and intellectually dishonest to look at the science I pointed you too that shows the maternal bond is a big deal. You just care about the desires of disordered adults than what’s really best for kids.
