The argument confuses natural death with intentional killing. Many embryos may be lost spontaneously, but that does not make deliberately killing one morally equivalent to a miscarriage; just as the fact that many infants die naturally does not justify killing infants. The extent of spontaneous embryo loss is itself uncertain, and vulnerability does not make human life expendable.
The relevant question is not whether the child is viable, wanted, or likely to survive, but what the act intentionally does. An embryo is a living human being from conception, and abortion deliberately ends that human life.
“Murder” is commonly a legal term with jurisdiction-specific definitions, so “intentional killing of an innocent human being” may be more precise. But morally, that is exactly how Catholic teaching characterizes direct abortion: the deliberate killing of an innocent human being in utero, regardless of age or stage of development.
This is how Tolkien would have seen it, this is how billions of human see it - because it is true.
Your libelous comments aside, what is a fact is that Democrats have presided over the murder of tens of millions of pre-born children. Numbers that would make Sauron blanch.
Tolkien would have voted Republican, not out of a love of less than virtuous mean tweet presidents, but because he would abhor the vile demonic practices of the Democrat party.
You purport to love Tolkien with your handle, Gwaihir, but Tolkien was a devout Catholic and moral conservative. He would have voted for Trump.
We do not back Trump to annoy you. Frankly we do not think about you much at all. Trump is doing what we hired him to do: close the border, secure our interests overseas, end the racism of DEI. I can like with his circus personality because he just gets so much done.
The people who still back Trump are willing to put up with his antics because he does the substantive things we actually care about. He closed the border, ended the H1-B visa scam, and is cleaning up entitlement corruption. Plus he is playing smart by taking the fight to Iran. He is willing to play the long game and protect our interests unlike President Autopen, his predecessor who gave 100B+ to a corrupt Ukrainian regime, fell for the DEI grift, and told doctors to mutilate childrens genitals.
Is Trump a goofy showman? Sure, and I can live with that.
Coxon has ties to a political PR firm from England named, and I'm not making this up, Newspeak. Yes, like 1984.

His X post was re-tweeted first by a group of NGO shills associated with Newspeak, then he magically shows up on every major news network... right as OpenAI and Anthropic's fundraising efforts are hitting the wall. (For context on that, see Ed Zitron's reporting)
Help me out if I'm way off base here (but I'm not) - nobody I know likes or uses a foldable phone. This feels like a desperate trend-chasing move from an 'innovator' company...

Violence only works for the right wing because violence requires people that obey without question and follow orders and that's the opposite of the left wing.
Ryan Routh's September 2024 attempt on Trump, the UnitedHealthcare CEO killing (December 2024), the arson at Governor Shapiro's residence (April 2025), the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington (May 2025), the Boulder firebombing (June 2025), the Alvarado and Dallas ICE facility shootings (July and September 2025, two detainees killed in Dallas), and the Kirk assassination. ALL hard-Left extremists.
The UN is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, They refuse to condemn the genocides in China and Armenia, but have time to clutch pearls over maps. Yeah ok whatever
It is easy to make fun of this or consider how ham fisted this will probably be at first, but this is a real problem.
Most people get the vast majority of their news from social media and engage in political conversation, almost exclusively on social media. I would not be surprised to discover that candidates were renting out entire blocks of a data center and running thousands or even millions of agents that were constantly engaging in political speech on their behalf.
It is intentionally simple, no useless or stupid giant infotainment screens. And itâ(TM)s actually affordable: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.slate.auto%2Fen
The funny thing is that he openly acknowledges that inference is very profitable (~40% margins) for all parties
Yeah this is a straight-up lie. Zitron goes out of his way to show - using OpenAI's own leaked financials that inference is not profitable. Nobody of repute is claiming otherwise, and the hyperscalers, OpenAI, and Anthropic have said mum about it because they know it's not profitable.
Even Torsten Slok, lead economist for Apollo Capital, has shown in black and white that inference is not profitable.
The only thing these idiots did wrong is they forgot to get law enforcement to pay for the service- then its just policing!
A bug in the hand is better than one as yet undetected.
