Well, sorry for the accusation. AI usually gives these bullet points when prompted.

They feel like it's wrong so it needs to be illegal.

They believe it to be immoral, so they want it to be illegal, yes. Is that not how people usually decide what should be legal and what shouldn't?

Also, it seems disingenuous to say that

No amount of death or suffering of real live people is as important as their idea of a person.

I would say one can be opposed to abortions, and still care about other people. Clearly.

The state already regulates which practices may or may not be performed by doctors. This is hardly different.

I would say people with principled political views are in the minority, whether they are on the left or on the right. Most people just parrot what everyone else and the politicians say. People don't like to think about these matters too deeply and vague emotions can be used(by politicians) in many ways.

In any case, which extreme positions are you referring to specifically? Or rather, which positions are extreme and integral to their programme?

Did Northern Ireland adopt the Irish language from Ireland after the treaty then?

I assumed you meant the competent republican will be so successful, the party will win the next election and the dems will not be able to compete. So you would rather they fail and let you win.

But now I realise that you actually implied they will rig the elections, which makes me think you are dramatising even more, since I doubt that will happen.

Maybe you are right, but I would not underestimate how quickly things can change. The did change quickly with Trump, did they not?

Would you say the americans adopted the ebglish language from the british?

[–] galanthus@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (5 children)

But when that happened, the americans were not a group distinct from the british, they were a part of the state that did that, so it is not the case that they adopted slavery from the brits, like it is not the case they adopted english from the brits for example.
