If being extreme-right means accepting abortion, I don't want to be extreme-right. Sorry fam, killing kids is a dealbreaker for me🤷♂️

yeah I realize that. That's what I am saying. I guess I was maybe a little mean about it, but I think this is just going to be a hard break at some point. There is maybe a tactical question about making this a central issue before either faction has any chance at any institutional power (neither those Christians who take their religion seriously, nor the "secular" extreme right have one)
I took no offense (I'm firmly a paleocon anyway). But I agree with you at the end of the day, there's an irreconcilable difference between the higher values of Christianity and the brutal - and paradoxically fanciful - practicality of a lot of hardliners.

well, it's not just extreme people who say this to be practical. I think a lot of "normal" people are simply never going to be convinced of the "hard line" that true Christians take as well.
For most, it's just never going to be the same in practice to kill an early embryo for a defect than it is to actually murder a child.
It's a lot to ask a young family to raise a retarded child, and (as they imagine it to be) painlessly terminating a small embryo just does not compare.
All that to say, that this is a real split with real divisive potential, within the right, GIVEN the sensibilities of many people. But I'm stating the obvious a this point.

I think there is a simple line here: you don't get to say you "lost" your baby if you aborted it.
This is what is really getting people upset, imo.

honestly that's fair. IS that the guy tho, or is that some nigga trying to give a summary?
That's insane. The fact he's sharing this at all is insane, too
He did a whole gender reveal video prior apparently. And then did a crying video when finding out about the potential Downs situation. And decided this was the direction he wanted to go in. Didn't get the response he thought he would.
actually I changed my mind I am more pro-abortion now if the child is going to turn out an influencer
