Pro-Choice Protest
Added 2022-06-28 05:23:05 +0000 UTCHere's our coverage of a pro-choice protest two days ago in our hometown of Seattle, Washington, just around 48 hours after Supreme Court decided to repeal Roe Vs. Wade, featuring interviews with protestors, a couple pro-lifers, and an old friend. I know especially for a lot of y'all on the east coast it's pretty late, I just wanted to get this out asap.
Enjoy
- Andrew, Nic and Evan.

2022-09-08 15:42:22 +0000 UTCI think what you should have said to the Christian group is that there reasons are based on an idea, taught by the bible, which claims life to start at conception, but that you cannot make laws based on what the bible teaches.

Molly Gould
2022-07-14 23:59:00 +0000 UTCThe issue with the “shouldnt have had it” people is they don’t consider human trafficking, they don’t consider minors, they don’t consider abusive relationships, they don’t consider financial hardship, they don’t consider change in time availability because people do have less free time than they used to, there is so many factors they will ignore even if you bring it blatantly to their face. And most of all, almost all of them ignore the children once they’re born, and if they do acknowledge them, it’s usually with negativity. These are the same people who criticize single mothers for not having enough time to be there for their children because they’re working multiple jobs, the same people that criticize the teenager for getting into selling drugs because he’s too young to work but his family needs to make rent, the same people that criticize those who are left out and outcast, and like to act extremely shocked when the predictable happens: poverty, violence, overpopulation

2022-07-04 18:25:52 +0000 UTCNo sweat, commenting on Patreon stinks ha. You gotta go "Shift+Enter" Awful stuff, the women interviewed in that piece definitely all ask scary questions. It's clear though, none of them state what "will" happen, they just hypothesize the worst possible outcomes. And I hope none of those outcomes come to pass! Literally all of the interviewees in that piece work for Women's Reproductive Rights organizations, so it makes sense that they would paint the darkest picture possible in their sympathetic NPR piece. I hope the hypotheticals they drum up don't come to pass. Fortunately, the Oklahoma governor, while signing the strictest anti-abortion law there is right now, agrees with them, saying: "From the moment life begins at conception is when we have a responsibility as human beings to do everything we can to protect that baby's life and the life of the mother." It seems both sides agree: The life of the baby should not be prioritized over the life of the mother
DrSmart
2022-07-04 14:59:28 +0000 UTCFour white men, a black man, and a white woman who belonged to the cult that inspired Handmaid's Tale overturned abortion. The ruling was dominated by old white men. You're also twisting the words of that woman - she said that she believed life began at birth, not that a pregnancy should be terminated then. She has every right to believe that life starts at birth, as you do at conception. The difference is she isn't pursuing an agenda to legally force you into accepting her beliefs.

2022-07-03 02:51:16 +0000 UTCThe definition isn't the point. It's how someone comes to a conclusion that is the problem. What I'm pointing out is that one side in particular is making gut decisions and backing them up with what they claim is objective superiority, despite the fact that there is a lot of debate on what life and even sentience is. Also, that if they say the machine doesn't live, then how does that square with a cluster of cells? It is a decision based on nothing; the decision they have truly made is that they will not actually make a real decision. What's even more disturbing is that it is seen as the correct way to think, and it must be enforced. It betrays a basic belief they all have: that the ordinary person is incapable of doing the "correct" thing, and must be made to. The other side also has a moral argument as well, but bases it in an examination of what life is and who has what say over another person's bodily and mental autonomy. It's also a side that says people should make a choice, as opposed to removing the option of one. The woman at the end pretty much makes it clear that their ultimate belief is that people should not be able to choose; anything that happens is the will of righteousness, and should be followed. It removes any idea of thinking and acting based on one's own ideas. You can see it even in how they are all dressed in the same colors, and have no personalized makeup.

2022-07-01 21:32:42 +0000 UTCA long time ago, a guy named Ross Ashby invented the "homeostat," a machine he claimed could think. It was essentially a bunch of batteries and wires that would try to reach a "balance," what he said was essentially homeostasis. It was created to challenge what we would call "alive." If this machine was brought to any pro-life person, they would probably immediately say it couldn't be alive. It wouldn't be for any logical reason, it would be only because they said it wasn't. My point is that they essentially have no actual standards for life; it's more about their want to dictate everything, and use an unquestionable divine mandate as a cudgel to shape the world as they see fit.

2022-06-30 19:55:07 +0000 UTCThe devil is in the details, my friend. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/06/24/1107316711/doctors-ethical-bind-abortion. Mothers will have to wait until they're in imminent danger even if they know that the pregnancy will kill them. Imagine having to wait until a dead fetus inside of you rots until the point of you being on the verge of being septic. On the NPR podcast shortwave they interviewed a woman who had to cross state lines in a plane in this situation because her local doctors wouldn't operate on her. She had to have a emergency plan for if she went into labor on the plane. These are real situation with real people who are affected by laws that can make it easier and safer to go with a more dangerous situation. Edit: I can't make paragraphs and tried to make them by [enter].

Alden Rizor
2022-06-29 23:07:47 +0000 UTCA valid point in this cultural context. However other cultures believe that a baby isn’t alive until it draws it’s first breath and in others not until it laughs for the first time. In Iceland they wait to name their children thinking that it is bad luck to do right away. Possibly a tradition based in the number of children that died before they were 2 prior to modern medicine. Although granted he could have asked more about what she meant specifically.

2022-06-29 13:04:13 +0000 UTCThe women at the end are the only ones who *didn't* get softball questions. Why did he not push back against the woman who said a fetus isn't a life until it's "physically pushed out of the womb?" It's a very extreme opinion that a day before their birth, a baby isn't alive

2022-06-29 07:42:49 +0000 UTCNo. AR, ID, MS, ND, OK, and SD do not. And more states don’t make exceptions for rape and even MORE states don’t make exceptions for incest
Adam Davidson
2022-06-29 07:02:27 +0000 UTCA good argument for pro-choice even after assuming life begins at conception is that if one woke up in a room one day and was attached to another human body that if the connection was severed the other would die. The first individual is under no ethical obligation to stay. The individual did not intend for this to happen and although unfortunate for the second individual, it’s also pretty scummy of them to kidnap another human being to have their own needs met (one might go even so far to say selfish). So if the first individual acts “selfishly” and unattaches themselves then moral equilibrium has been reached. (This is an argument I heard back in like 3 year uni well over a decade ago. I’m missing some steps but this is what I can remember)
Adam Davidson
2022-06-29 06:48:13 +0000 UTCYou gotta rethink your stance my guy. She is so deep into it that she doesn’t even know she is being taken advantage of. It’s really sad. And if they are old order like that her future looks like she will be beholden to her husband over her needs
Adam Davidson
2022-06-29 06:38:50 +0000 UTCHey Andrew! I gotta ask, why did you throw softball questions at the Christians at the end? Why didn’t you ask about young women being the victims of rape and the pregnancy puts the life of the mother (an actual child) in danger? Like was the vibe that they were already kinda skittish and would have just shut down? I want to understand when you ask equally difficult questions to others that you interview.
Adam Davidson
2022-06-29 06:29:23 +0000 UTCFor sure. It's all subjective. That's why there are different schools of constitutional thought.
Michael Karger
2022-06-29 03:55:20 +0000 UTCYeah yeah legal but not so late. They want it to be a little late. Until it's pushed out? Really lady? Sometimes blows my mind how bad you can represent a good cause -- 3:24 Bunch of old white men ruled Roe v. Wade was protected under constitution. Three women, a black man, and a small bunch of white men overturned it. Andrew's rap was great
mickeymouse420
2022-06-29 03:11:33 +0000 UTCIsn't even the concept of "determining the constitutionality" of something up for interpretation though? Look at the intent of the founders for the constitution to be a "living document subject to the spirit of the times", then look at the "originalists" insistence that there's some past, perfect form of the law that we have to get back to and maintain, and tell me those aren't incompatible viewpoints, both in letter and spirit. "Proper function" isn't something that exists in a vacuum.

Aaron Dinga
2022-06-29 02:54:28 +0000 UTCPlus like, ok... maybe a fetus is alive technically. But is it human? Can it conceive of itself, does it experience emotion, can it do anything that defines being a human? I guess you could argue that an acorn is alive but you can't say it's a tree. It requires soil, sun, water, nutrients, all externally provided. In this case a fetus never ever turns into a human without being formed into one by the mother's body. Maybe abortion is the ending of life, but we as a society and species are clearly ok with ending life in some circumstances. It takes countless plant and animal deaths to keep a person alive. We condone wars and by and large the "pro-life" crowd also condones the death penalty.

DrSmart
2022-06-29 02:15:01 +0000 UTCGenerally parents are required to care for their children, or make arrangements for them to find care elsewhere if they are unable to. It's not similar to two adults fighting over a kidney
DrSmart
2022-06-29 02:14:00 +0000 UTCPersonally I think the shit about when life "begins" is asinine. If someone needs a kidney transplant to live, even a child, another person cannot be forced to give up their kidney. The same is true for pregnant people - even if you *believe* life begins at conception, why is it suddenly okay to take over someone else's life for a minimum of 9 months? What's the difference?
Loren Carvalho
2022-06-29 01:23:56 +0000 UTCExacly, Its not Pro-Life vs Pro-Choice anymore. Its Forced Birth vs Human Rights
William Fulton
2022-06-29 01:12:57 +0000 UTCThe only ppl I see making “arguments” about “when life begins” are anti-choice fundamentalists. Of course the fact that unwanted pregnancies so often lead to extremely poor quality of life for both the mother and child is by far the best argument against forced births.
Jace
2022-06-28 23:53:16 +0000 UTCI feel as though both sides butt heads at a single point around when life atually begins. Some say at contraception, some say at birth, some say somewhere along the way. Is it not beside the point though? Regardless of when life begins we all agree there is the potential of a life to be had. I wonder if the pro choice argument would have more traction if this point was ceded and the focus was shifted to the hardships that come with an unsupported and unwanted pregnancy for both the mother and child, and how this can create issues for societies lasting generations. I just feel as though a lot of the time I see discussions around pro choice/pro life the subject of the debate is focused on something that is unbudging on both sides.

Bowserjr711
2022-06-28 22:40:41 +0000 UTCBut that's an issue of interpretation rather than a dysfunction of the court itself. I agree the decision was terrible and I think the way originalists interpret things is hot garbage. But the court is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
Michael Karger
2022-06-28 22:19:16 +0000 UTCProblem is the Supreme Court has violated the 1st and 9th amendment in its ruling. Abortion access is written into numerous major religions holy books and allowing states to deny access means denial of religious freedoms. The 9th stipulates that just because something isn’t explicitly in the constitution or bill of rights it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.
RD
2022-06-28 22:06:46 +0000 UTCI would have liked to hear the pro-lifer's stance on abortion in the instance of a fetal death creating a threat to the life of the mother. That's what's going to really hurt. Women will not have access to life-saving care. Doctors will have to let the mother die from sepsis as the fetus rots away inside of them.
FrivolousExamination
2022-06-28 21:34:53 +0000 UTCIt seems like a lot of people on both sides don't really know what's going on even if they have strong beliefs one way or another. SCOTUS is functioning properly even if we hate their decision--it's not law making to decide the constitutionality of something since that is literally the constitutionally described job of the judicial systems. The arguments made by Pro-lifers don't make sense in relation to other non-human animals. Humans are not special because we have human DNA. If the right to life begins at conception, then all other animals also have the right to life beginning at conception.

Paige Bowman
2022-06-28 18:17:12 +0000 UTCJust to clear things up, the SCOTUS decision was to abolish the Federal right, which was in place because of Case law (Roe v. Wade), not any Federal statute/law. So the person talking about how SCOTUS can't made laws... They didn't. They simply reversed prior Case law. It's an obvious scumbag political move but it is nothing new, SCOTUS interprets the law and doesn't make the law. And SCOTUS Justices have lifetime appointments in order to insulate them from politics. If the SCOTUS Justices needed to run for election, they would be simple politicians who would just look at their next election, like the terrible Congress we have today. But clearly, the lifetime appointment DIDN'T work out as intended.

2022-06-28 16:16:17 +0000 UTCThe reality is a lot of anti-choice people have abortions. Then they blame the government for letting it be legal, so they can push all their guilt on other people. They blame the doctors and say the doctors failed them for not talking them out of getting an abortion. They hide it from their churches or their families, some of them even pick the picket sign back up and harass other women seeking abortions. The hypocrisy that exists around these people that use the fetus until it is born, at which point they couldn't give a single fuck about the child, is astounding. These people need to be shamed for their evil. Why do we allow this kind of evil to exist in our society? Shame them all. Shame the ignorant who refuse to read book. Shame the ignorant who reject science. Shame the ignorant who reject doctors. Make it harder for them to express their views for fear of being publicly humiliated.

2022-06-28 16:05:45 +0000 UTCThe interviews around 1:37 (“they were appointed at a different time in a different era”) and 4:00 (“boomer mentality, beyond boomer”) are kind of weird. Boomers suck, but this decision was the result of three Gen Xers getting appointed in the last few years. They aren’t very old and they were literally just appointed. It’s always weird to see people you agree with just totally out of touch with the facts or why stuff is happening

2022-06-28 15:52:59 +0000 UTCIt's dangerous that these people have been misreading and not understanding their own bible for literal centuries. God does not tell them that life begins at conception, it says specifically that it is the first breath drawn that makes us alive.

2022-06-28 15:26:28 +0000 UTCI wish Andrew asked these so-called "pro-life" Christians what the punishment should be for abortion, and why they're not answering "capital punishment" like for murder.
Desmond Hawkins
2022-06-28 15:21:36 +0000 UTCI am curious how these religious women would feel if someone they loved had an abortion. it's easy to say, "oh I know what I would do in this situation" and really believe that you would act that way, but I want to know what they'd say about how they would grapple if someone they loved dearly had an abortion
Emily
2022-06-28 14:57:22 +0000 UTCI don't entirely agree. I interpret his interview style here, and in many other interviews, as getting the opinions people on one side of an issue have about some of the main arguments being made by people on the other side of that issue. For instance, he asked several people who were pro-choice what they thought about the argument that some pro-lifers were making about life starting at conception. That said, he obviously is pro-choice and so was able to push the pro-lifers a bit more about the pro-choice arguments than the other way around which is where the bias lies. That bias is obviously a con to taking this approach but I find it more engaging and honest when people are challenged to address the arguments being made by those with opposing views. So I think the small amount of bias it introduces is worth it in the end.

Peter H
2022-06-28 14:40:23 +0000 UTCThis is just incorrect. Fundamentalist women like this are traded off for marriage like cattle, and part of it is submitting to their husband's sexual desires at all times, including immediately after having a baby so the next one can be conceived as soon as possible. So really this woman is living in an ancient religious structure that was literally designed because people do want to "fuck that." Their entire lives are a bad situation.

2022-06-28 13:01:32 +0000 UTCLove your work man. I think its best when you stay non-editorial, your best work is when you go to the people and present their opinions directly to the masses, in my opinion. I think religion is a mental illness, but especially in the last interview with the religious lady, it felt like you were pushing your side. I understand it can be hard not to, but again, I just think your work speaks the loudest when you let folks speak for themselves. Just a thought! Keep it up!

2022-06-28 11:24:05 +0000 UTCThe fundamental crux of their argument, the Christian Right, is whether the possible will of God supersedes the existing will of the human. You can interpolate a lot about a person’s moral principles from that alone.

2022-06-28 10:07:44 +0000 UTCI love that all the pro life reasoning stands behind “I’m a christian”. Who cares…. the separation of church and state is a blurred line, what a joke.
Malik Baker
2022-06-28 09:53:38 +0000 UTCI've seen a very "interesting" take on how to solve this issue. One person said "just don't have sex unless you want a baby". I sat there like "Wow, it's almost like people have sex for pleasure or something". But a woman should be in control of what she chooses to do with her body, as we all should. End of statement. Thank you for showing both sides, as you do.

Luke Jamesion
2022-06-28 09:23:46 +0000 UTCWhile Andrew is "objective" he quite obviously believes in much more socialist, and progressive concepts. It's weird to me that people don't get that. Andrew is a humanist, which means he gives everyone a voice no matter how insane, or deranged their viewpoints are. He often takes a back seat to his own beliefs in favor of letting the person reveal theirs and letting us be the judge. Big thing to note though is that since he will feel quite strongly about certain subjects, it's going to effect his coverage at times.

Shala
2022-06-28 08:37:24 +0000 UTCIt sounded like he was passionate about this subject, and he did something similar during Uvalde. Andrew is doing what he loves and when there is something going on that goes against his beliefs, he doesn’t shy from using the medium he created to prove a point. Honestly, he sounded like me when I talk to my religious friends back home who give me the same ‘brick wall’ type answers.

2022-06-28 07:52:10 +0000 UTCBro first off love everything you guys do great stuff and I understand it's difficult with subjects like these BUT a friendly reminder that one of your best qualities is your objectivity. My personal opinion (which can very legitimately be disregarded) is that the questions with the religious folks where a little leading. Again, just trying to share my humble opinion love your shit keep it up.

Every christlike christian I've met ended up leaving the religious institution and now keep their spirituality to themselves.
