| theprof00 said: I don't know what else I can possible explain to you happy. Your study evidences that the two factors exist concurrently, not that one causes the other. You think that because the study says stress is correlated to miscarriage then rape is correlated to miscarriage because it is a form of stress. That is, and I can't stress (lol) this enough, a baseless extrapolation that you have decided on using warped logic. I could similarly say that cracked nail paint or "lolguys" cause miscarriage. However, I would be wrong because it is only a portion of women whom would think of such things as being entirely stressful, or unable to cope. It may sound like mockery, but I'm trying to point out the flaws in simply deciding what causes stress. Also, I don't know what gives you the idea that people disagree with him for political reasons. It seems like another misunderstanding in the line of logic. That is, what he just said was reminiscent of 1950s psychology mixed with a heap of social injustice. Women do not have power over their miscarriages, but he's saying so because he wants to deny women who are raped the ability to abort. His goal is to say, "well, a woman who is LEGITIMATELY RAPED, would naturally miscarry, and if not, then they likely were NOT LEGITIMATELY RAPED". Rape is a serious issue happy, and one that this man obviously did not understand. Nobody disagreed with him because it's political. We disagree because he's wrong. It then becomes a political thing because it's a women's rights issue. None of us say "oh that's women's rights, he's automatically wrong". |
:3 your puns are very pun.
Well, it's not working for me because on one end you say that rape is a serious issue, and on the other you liken it to nail paint, so I don't know what foot you're dancing on anymore.
Regardless, I was keeping a balanced view by not saying "he is right", but by saying what he said at least makes sense. Your position is to say "He is completely wrong", and that's something I can't accept.
People on the left generally accuse conservatives of being black and white, but the more I debate the more I notice the pole opposite. It's not because what he said was mildly off that people should say 1) he's an idiot and 2) he's completely wrong. What was off was to say that rape leads to miscarriage as if it was indisputably true 100% of the time. Well, even if he didn't think that, it's how he worded it.
I'm just saying that the idea is not terribly bonkers, and there is truth in what he is saying, though his claim in and of itself is false.
I hope that clears it up.
