My wife's born again idiot ex-friend who came to visit her and tell her she's a baby killer (never had an abortion, but is pro-choice) insisted people are aborting babies at 9 months.

Removing the baby at 9 months is just called giving birth.

Yeah, that's what I told my mom. She tried to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. They wouldn't just deliver the baby and let someone adopt it if the birth parents don't want it. No, they'll kill the baby mid-delivery. I hate that it's my mom, but some people can't be reasoned with.

I started asking for examples of when that happened.

It's funny how angry people get when you ask them for proof of their ridiculous claim. Especially when they start insisting they have the proof, they just don't feel like sharing "because of your attitude" and when it gets to that point I just openly start laughing at them.

[–] NABDad 3 points 11 months ago

That's the problem with cultists. They believe everything without proof to the point they believe proof is wrong somehow. Like the only valid beliefs are ones that are taken on faith and run counter to all logic and reason.

After all, if everything you believe isn't totally bullshit, how can you claim you have faith?

My mother STILL believes that "partial birth abortion" is a thing. Like, at one point she literally believed doctors would use a reflex-testing mallet to smash in a baby's skull as it was being born. I heard these words come out of her mouth when I was a child.

Now she just thinks they use a surgical hose to suck the brain out as it's coming out.

My mother in law also threatened to not come to the wedding because I made a pro-choice post on social media. It was literally my only post of the year, because I only keep the account for messaging family. She insisted I'm a baby killer. She also thinks someday she and her family will be dragged out in the street and executed for being christian.
