Here's the thing: no matter what pro lifers do, abortion will not cease to exist. So you must pick. Safe abortions that are easy to access, or abortions done unsafely and painfully at home. What do you prefer? - a fed-up pro choicer

What if I said that child trafficking will always exist, so you have to choose between legal, regulated, “safe” child slavery and illegal, “back-alley” child slavery?

We can’t keep the mass killing of human children legal simply because it will “happen anyway.”

We must do everything we can to protect human rights. That includes not just banning abortion, but also providing the resources and support that mothers need to be able to choose life for their children. It also means educating people on human development in the womb and what abortion does to that developing human.

Beyond making abortion illegal, we need to make it unthinkable. Will it still happen sometimes? Maybe. But if we can reduce the numbers from 43 million per year worldwide to a few isolated incidents here and there, that would be some progress.

here is an argumentative point, which you can either refute or confirm. my point is: there is good music between 1990 and the present date (any genre is acceptable)

Of course! I don’t know how anyone could argue otherwise.

My least favorite genre is 70′s rock. That garbage is awful. Other than that I’m open to most types.

Dont. Hit. Your. Children.

Instead:

  • Model proper emotional response for children. 
  • Understand where misbehavior comes from
  • If a child is overwhelmed, remove them from the overwhelming situation.
  • If a child is hungry or tired, address those needs. 
  • If they are throwing a tantrum in the department store, take them somewhere quiet and let them cry until they are calm. They’re probably just bored or cramped or overwhelmed and need a minute. 
  • Address the cause of misbehavior, not how it manifests. 
  • Make sure things like transitions, when you are leaving or moving on, are clearly communicated. Sudden transitions can be a huge trigger for tantrums. Best to try and mitigate with proper advance notice. 
  • Explain your reasons to children when you are enforcing rules 
  • Listen to children when they explain their objections to rules. You don’t have to agree with them all the time, but you should listen.
  • Understand that you, the adult, can also be overwhelmed, tired, hungry, and frustrated too. Acknowledge, to your kids, out loud, how these things are impacting you and apologize if you snap at them unfairly. Again, this is modeling emotional response. 
  • Make the rules clear, simple, and consistent. Don’t change what the rules are based on your mood that day, or if you must, explain it before hand. If you normally let them play video games in the car, but you can’t today because your head hurts and your driving to a new place and you need to concentrate so you don’t want the sound to distract you- explain that to your kids. If they counter with “I have head phones. Is that ok?” Then, yeah. It’s ok. 
  • If you need to have consequences for their actions, then actually follow through. Don’t threaten with consequences that you won’t really do. That makes it a lie, and makes it super ineffective in the future. 
  • Make consequences fit the behavior. Explain why that is the consequence. 
  • Some good consequences might include: cleaning up a mess they made, taking a cool down time for a few minutes, not getting to a special treat like a trip to the movie theater with their friends, etc. Remember, we are trying to avoid physical pain as a form of punishment. 
  • Speak to children respectfully and prompt them to speak respectfully back. 
  • Choices. Give kids a reasonable, manageable number of choices. Do you want to wear the green shirt or the blue shirt? Do you want Cheerios or waffles? Carrots or green beans? Do you want to give grandma a hug or a high five? Older kids can handle more choices than younger ones.  

General rule of thumb: You aren’t trying to raise an obedient child. You’re trying to raise a thoughtful, respectful adult. And you have to be a role model, not just in what you say, but also in what you do. 

Yeah none of this work for children with mood disorders or mental disabilities. Your trying to cope a child who has issues but this sounds ideal but reality is a lot different. A child with actual issues will not stop They Don’t Care . They will have a tantrum in a store about what they want and will cause property damage to get it . Your not talking about real children and that’s why people arguing to hit them above me . When you have children who are out of control and nothing and I do mean nothing works on your list what do you turn to ? I would love to hear another pointless lecture about parenting from someone with either no children. Or children with no issues at all . Yes you are trying to raise an obedient child who becomes an obedient adult. if you haven’t notice obedience means you know understand rules in the street ,in your home and every given situation. as they get older the rules turn into laws and if they can’t follow as an obedient adult. you fucked up as a parent for not drilling that in .

Did…did you just say that children with mental disabilities aren’t “real children”? 

And that it’s ok to hit kids as long as they are disabled? 

Really?

REALLY?

Are you taking my my word out context ? Not even interpreting at all the message . Yes you are . I said all the guidelines above would never work for real children . Also it would be hypocritical seeing as my son has mental disabilities. which is why I can personally say the above doesn’t work for every child . Let me guess you read the first three lines and decide to berate me ? @fandomsandfeminism

I’m just looking at your words and trying to understand. 

My post, which is backed up by decades of science, years of formal education on adolecent development, and years of hands on classroom experience, argues that you shouldn’t hit children and offers proven alternatives. 

Your reply was “ Yeah none of this work for children with mood disorders or mental disabilities.” and “ Your not talking about real children” 

Trust me, not hitting your kid can work for ALL children. There are no children you HAVE to hit. 

Yeah I’m gonna allow you to believe what you want . All I know is the shift in parenting since science and the not hitting your kids took over . you have more children being rude and disrespectful to strangers ,More school shootings ,And lack consequences for their actions. The majority of parents are lackluster about their responsibilities because of the science . Science changes constantly watch in ten years previous conclusion will be invalidated because things change . And no it can’t work for every child come out the bubble and face reality .

Juvenile delinquency rates are actually on a steady trend down (though many researchers actually attribute this to lowering the lead in public water supplies) 

No one said that there shouldn’t be consequences and rules. In fact my post gave several suggestions for how to make those consequences and rules meaningful and effective. 

Not hitting your kid can work for ALL children. There are no children you HAVE to hit.

Oh god, you’re back in this train?

It was a cherry picked study. Everyone know this. I listed sources that showed it was cherry picked last time.

It’s 50 years of compiled data with meta analysis of tens of thousands of children. And you did no such thing. If you have nothing meaningful to add, you are invited to stop following my blog.

Second time in sharing this.

I do add meaningful things. You just don’t appreciate them.

Read your own source.

Still, a number of individual studies have found associations between spanking and negative outcomes, even after controlling for preexisting child behavior. So Gershoff says that in spite of the lingering controversy, the safest approach parents can take is not to spank their kids. “Studies continue to find that spanking predicts negative behavior changes—there are no studies showing that kids improve,” she says. And although Ferguson is not convinced that spanking is categorically bad, he is “certainly not an advocate of spanking.” Furthermore, there is a worrying body of research suggesting that parents who spank will later use harsher forms of punishment. “If spanking is not working, and spanking is all the parents are doing, then they’re going to escalate,” Gershoff says. “

One of these days I’ll actively debate people again, but I’ve been so busy lately that I can’t say when it’ll happen.

Send me posts to debunk or ask me questions.

I thought that with everything going on in my life that the bad stuff would end with the divorce last year, but everything just keeps getting worse, and my head’s not even above water anymore. My ex-husband is drowning me and I need help. Please.   Gofundme description: As a few of you know I just recently got out of a terrible divorce and custody battle with my physically abusive ex-husband. And while I was able to gain full custody of my 2 year-old son and get away from my ex-husband, he still deems it necessary to make mine and my son’s live’s a living hell despite ditching his own child and saying he “wants no part of us anymore”. He stole $1,500 from me when I had decided to leave him because he wouldn’t stop hitting me. I wish that was where the problems stopped, but unfortunately that’s just the start of it. He owes me over $2,000 in child support that I have not seen a penny of in over a year, and getting help from the Attorney General’s Child Support Division is impossible. My ex-husband also filed my son on his tax return, stealing my tax return and putting me under federal investigation with the IRS even though it’s illegal for him to do so, and I recently lost my job. I’m a single mother with not even a penny to my name, but still lucky enough to have a roof over our heads. And sadly enough, even though the divorce is over, I’m still in terrible amounts of debt because of it. I’m lost, scared and just don’t know what to do anymore, so I’m finally admitting for once in my life that I need some help. Any help at all. This has been such a long road for my son and I, and it never seems to end. We just want this over with so we can finally move on with our lives, and we can’t do that without the money to help get us out of this mess, and away from him for good.  Anything helps, even if all you have is a prayer for me and my son. Thank you, I hope this will all be over soon, God bless.

Democrats then:

  • forcibly import poor people from the 3rd world to support the economy, feed clothe and house them to control them. 
  • use gun control to disarm black people
  • advocate for eugenics to control populations of undesirables
  • establish a permanent income tax 
  • use sedition laws to punish people who do not support WW1

Democrats now:

  • advocate forcibly importing poor people from the 3rd world to support the economy, giving them welfare so that they vote for Democrats. 
  • advocate for gun control to save the children disarm black people 
  • advocate for abortion on demand especially for poor, WoC. 
  • advocate for higher taxes 
  • threaten administration officials with treason for not wanting WW3 with Russia

Also Democrats now:

Statism And Racism.

  One of the most flagrant falsehoods in all of leftist thought is the idea of an association between “Capitalism” and racial oppression. Racial oppression is somehow depicted by the leftist as an extension of the overall exploitation that supposedly defines Capitalism. In reality, large scale racial oppression, and caste systems have essentially always been products of government. Caste systems of one type or another predate free enterprise societies by thousands of years, and they are always imposed by the force of law. The United States is no exception. Blacks in America were rendered second class citizens half a century ago as a result of the state: specifically as the result of a code of laws popularly known as Jim Crow laws. Before that period slavery was practiced; enabled by the state through the selective enforcement of felony laws for some people and not others. Apprehending and confining certain individuals against their will was punishable by law, but not other individuals. Eventually the Supreme Court gave the practice of slavery official government sanction in the infamous Dred Scott case.

 The arguments against the abolition of slavery during the Lincoln-Douglas debates were quite revealing. The defenders of slavery both feared and argued that the absence of any legal distinction between Blacks and Whites would lead to various forms of intermingling, or in other words, the increasing absence of social differences. What they literally feared was that the free market and private sphere left to themselves would annihilate the divisions among men.  

Make no mistake. Government has always been the great accomplice of racism.
