    I hate abortions. But I would fight with all my soul to keep them legal.

    What I want is a world where abortions are legal, but no one ever needs one.

      I used to think this way… Then I realized that I don’t feel the same way about someone having a benign growth removed, so why should I care so much about people having abortions?

      I’m ambivalent towards them.

        I don’t think it’s a benign growth.

        At some point, it crosses from “potential human being” to “actual human being”, and I wish we never had to make that call.

        But we do, and it’s okay that we do. We are adults, most of us at least, we are able to consider that sometimes a sub-ideal choice is still the correct one to make.

        The real solution to abortions is sexual education, contraception, and overall societal change.

        I think people should be able to get abortions whenever the want to ; but I also think we should create a world where people (almost) never actually want to, because (almost) every pregnancy was desired by the person getting pregnant.

      Enjoying/loving abortions is a running joke among pro-choice people. Obviously an abortion is an emotional and often traumatic experience which nobody wants to go through, but leaning into the absurdity of having to defend the right to do something unpleasant can help someone to deal with the stress/trauma of the abortion.

      Obviously nobody loves the act of an abortion, but I think it’s fair to assume when this person says they “love” them, they mean they love that people who would die without them can have them, and victims of sexual abuse can gain control over their life.

        Also, any woman who is pregnant can have one for any reason. We don’t just want them to be available for medical necessity and victims of abuse.

      I can imagine Clark being too much of a boy scout to try weed. “Sorry, it looks like a lot of fun, but I promised Ma I wouldn’t. I can still hang, if you’d like. I’ve got snacks.”

      Definitely the kinda guy who notices someone taking an illegal drug, then spends the night checking up on them to make sure they’re okay. He asks if there’s anyone they came with and offers to drive them home, since he’s only been drinking diet coke the entire night. Then he texts them in the morning, just to be safe.

        no see this is the cool superman who was raised by the cool Kents. they taught him about drugs and how to be responsible and safe with them. sometimes they’ll even get high together during the holidays, like a loving family should.

          He is the cool Superman, but he’s still Clark Kent, the boyscout.

          Just look at his attitude towards swearing. He never condemns anyone’s swearing (except in cut dialogue about saying “pussy” in front of children), but his swears of choice are “golly” and “what the hey”. He will quote people using “supershit”, but makes it clear he doesn’t approve of it.

          I do believe that the Kents would teach him about safe drug use, since they grew up in the 70s, but only so he’ll be safe. Then he uses what they taught him to make sure everyone else is safe, not so he can do it himself.

      People should know - Supergirl visits other planets, with red sun, to party because she can’t get drunk on Earth. Shown at the end of this film.
