Mixed Nuts at University of Tennessee
From our Spring 2018 GAP at the University of Tennessee.
Conclusions before evidence. “I think abortion should be legal up until 6 weeks but not until 9 months. I really don’t know when I would say it’s wrong because I have not studied the development of the baby.”
Killed by “careful” parents. A parent said, “It’s really sad. That is why I tell my girls to be careful and not get pregnant in the first place.” The logic is flawed, because there are many children killed every day that were created by parents who were being “careful.”
Pregnant “men” and favorite races. Like Forest Gump (or somebody) said, “GAP is like a box of chock-lits. Ya neva know watt you’re gonna gay-ette.”
Male student: “If I were a female on the way to becoming a male and was pregnant, would abortion be OK?” CBR staffer Jane replied: “No.” Student: “If I want to raise the child, once I’m a man, is that OK?” Jane: “YES!” (The ideal would be a father and a mother, but most of us would choose any living arrangement over being decapitated and dismembered.)
Student: “One other question. What is your favorite race?” Jane: “The Human Race.” Student: “I like your answer!”
Gaining consistency. A young man tried the bodily autonomy argument except he didn’t support third trimester abortion. Mik’aela convinced him that wasn’t consistent, but unfortunately, he switched to supporting abortion through all 9 months to maintain consistency. That may seem like a negative, but historians agree that Martin Luther King was effective because he pushed people out of the middle and forced them to take a side. Ultimately, muddle-headed thinking is detrimental to our cause.
It’s all relative. One young man wouldn’t consider abortion or anything wrong because morality is relative without a god, universe or higher power. And according to him there isn’t one. Of course, he would change his a-moral position very quickly if you stole his smartphone.
