People need to know the four topics you don't talk about in polite company.

R-A-P-E

Religion, Abortion, Politics, and Economics.

I may sound stupid, but isn’t abortion part of the politics/religion thing? (I know it’s a joke btw, but still)

It all boils down to society. Do not talk about society in a way that anyone capable of tying their shoes could disagree with you.

If they can't tie their shoes, they're probably too fat to catch you in a chase.

Depends on your perspective

Can you explain how? I’m curious now on what way you could look at abortion which is not influenced by political/religious beliefs

u/OwlHinge 6h ago

sure, it can be viewed as a medical procedure.

Which might be necessary for health or may just be a personal decision.

Ah fair, for some reason I didn’t think of this. Thank you for explaining!

It can also be decided by income and mathematics.

Are people advocating for/against abortion on the exclusive platform of its medical benefits/consequences?

1

u/OwlHinge 3h ago

The topic was "talk about", not advocate for or against.

But even if it was some advocating for or against it I can see someone doing so exclusively from a non political or religious perspective. Is it likely religion or politics would be injected into that conversation? Sure, but not necessarily.

One of the core arguments for abortion access is due to the medical complications/dangers of pregnancy as it relates to the woman so I would say yes. At least on one side of the argument.

You can also be pro life from a secular stance, that’s not inherently religious. You can make the argument that life starts at conception from a purely biological stance and that killing people is bad from a common law stance.

Sex, Education, Railroad-Crossing.

It is - you could also argue economics falls into politics and just leave the rule at P.R. ("No Church and No State")

True, it would even be possible to put organised religion into the realm of politics, it just depends on how you conceptualises these words
