Prosecutors Refuse to Drop Charges Against Texas 11-Year-Old Put in Solitary Confinement - Lemmy.World

Timothy Murray lost his father earlier this year and had been asking his principal for counseling when she called in the police

Data from Brownsville ISD seen by The Observer showed its officers made 3,102 student arrests between May 2021 and Nov. 2023. Nearly 60% of those were on felony charges and 76 of those kids were in elementary school.

what the fuck is going on over there

High-speed school-to-prison pipeline. Because inmates=free labour and prisons are for-profit. Gotta get 'em kidz institutionalized as early as possible!
It’s the conservative way. They hold these traditions sacred.

I suspect that being born from the wrong vagina is a crime for those people.

It just explains so many things: from their criminalization of abortion whikst taking State support away from poor single mothers to emprisioning kids who don’t have a mommy and daddy with the right connections or to pay for the kind of lawyer who would extract a massive compenstion from everybody involved in putting this kid in prisions.

Pretty sure avoiding “being born from the wrong vagina” is a popular defense of abortion among liberals.

“It just explains so many things” When you’re a moron any description of a cause will suffice for the outcome.

I am pretty sure that body autonomy and a women being able to make her own choices about when to start a family are why we support a woman’s right to choose.

There is a multitude of reasons why people support abortion. One of the common arguments is that it is better to not exist than to be born poor or to parents that don’t want you (I.e literally the “born to the wrong vagina” argument). This is a widely supported belief and I would say that around 20 percent of pro-choice people I’ve debated (out of hundreds) use it as their primary argument.

Asserting that there is a single reason why people hold a position is absurd.

FYI bodily autonomy arguments have largely been abandoned in academic ethics, because there is just no existing right to bodily autonomy that is sufficiently strong, and we have no basis for arguing that there should be.

Absolutely Parents who do not want to have a baby should not be forced to carry one to term. It ain’t some angel that came down and inhabited the womb that should be laminted as lost.

“It ain’t some angel”

But it’s a human, and we don’t find engaging in active killing of humans permissible do we?

I also love that as a pretty open atheist, PC will constantly try to insinuate a religious motivation (even though most PL religious people don’t use the ensoulment argument either).
