I’ll remember who they are and won’t give them any of my business.

In the case of Uber and Lyft, they are effectively a duopoly, and provide a useful service for the carless in urban areas and for people who cannot drive for one reason or another.

“...many women in need of abortion services...”

So, that’s like, none? Who is it who “needs” and doesn’t just want an abortion?

I’ve never trusted Uber and Lyft drivers, and never use them.

We occasionally use taxi cabs, but we call traditional local cab companies and the few independent people who do this - at least, we will as long as they last.

I have no need for either service, but if we want to fight for the culture, we have to think beyond our personal habits. It is worth fighting for good school boards, and to keep the shaky ones in line, even if you homeschool or are childless.

“If abortion is banned, we’re going to pay more and more for these idiot’s kids until civilization collapses and they eat what’s left...”

Well, alright then, let the murdering continue, money being the most important thing.

I’m not as hard-line as some people here who believe in no abortion for any reason.

I don’t believe a woman who is raped should have to carry that child; and I don’t believe that a woman whose health is endangered should have to go through it either.

What if your wife or daughter were raped? What if they developed a life-threatening problem as a result of pregnancy?

Sorry, but I don’t believe that any circumstance in life is absolutely subject to the same answer for everyone.

What I can’t stomach is the profligate murder of babies simply because people are irresponsible or don’t want the result of their own actions. And I don’t like it when they call it a ‘blob of cells’ instead of recognizing that it really is a human child.

I’m an old woman now, and I use cabs when my husband is away and I have something I have to do. I don’t want to be driven around by someone who does it part-time, perhaps in between other jobs, and is vetted as poorly as some of these drivers are.

I’ve known people who have driven for these services. Some of them I’d trust with my life; some, I’d never get into a car with.

A lot of people who drive drive a lot because they do it to go to work or buy food.

Uber will offer free rides to an executioner?
How nice of them

Well, I used to drive a lot, too.

But we were talking about taxi services. I have never trusted the ‘new’ things like Uber and Lyft - I just don’t believe that their drivers are carefully vetted enough. I prefer the traditional taxi companies, which we fortunately still have here.

Sounds like a baby killer taxi driver thing.

I don’t think it takes a cynic to see that as a motive for a company’s support for liberal abortion laws. Don’t forget that having moms in the work force means the government has more ability to adopt policies that favor such families and penalize those who prefer a stay at home parent.

Money represents effort and capital in a civilization. The “murdering” will happen with or without abortion if the material issues are not addressed soon enough.

Either in the womb as a preventative measure by choice or in far greater numbers/brutality/randomness in the streets when civilization collapses from too many takers.

Another option is mandatory implanted birth control for those not able to afford children but many people see that as even worse than abortion.

Human sacrifice in many civilizations was merely a way to keep population from exceeding available resources. They said it was to satisfy God for a good harvest but in reality they just kept the numbers down so everyone else had enough to eat. The leadership knew even greater violence was inevitable if everyone starved.

Civilizations against sacrifice addressed feeding of excess people through war and colonizing. Conquering more land and brutally murdering the previous inhabitants when they objected to starvation. They justified murder by saying their culture is superior and deserved to eat more than these “savages”.

Every known path to address this issue is horrific but it is the brutal hard reality of material existence versus human nature...

The culture has a lot of rot in it when millions of women feel that raising a child is a curse.

Would you support the execution of adult idiots? That would thin out the population a bit and murder is murder, of a baby or an adult.

Well, studies have shown that rapees are the likeliest, outside of religious believers, to desire abortion feeling that it is wrong to reply to a crime by killing a third party that did not commit the crime. Victims of rape are more often forced into abortion by boyfriends or family and the damage to their psyches is permanent. They are much more apt to regard the abortion as a second crime against themselves and their babies and as punishment for getting raped.
