Hey all! Been stalking around here for a while, reading all the great posts. Finally have another one of my own.
I am pro choice all the way. My dad is a fanatical pro lifer. We were texting today about how Trump is trying to repeal Obama care and overturn Roe v Wade. My dad made some points against abortion that I really don't know how to counter. Here's what he said, verbatim.
"By the way...there's no such thing as free healthcare or any other kind of free benefit. It's just about who can muster the political clout to take one person's property to give it to another person or group. You know that and I know that. I'm getting ready to collect social security paid by you so I can sit around and loaf during my declining years. Us old folks vote consistently so there's really nothing you can do about that. That of course isn't fair to you but then we aren't really talking about fairness but power. As a side issue, the millions of children of your generation murdered in the abortion clinics since Roe v Wade are not voting with your generation to make the social security system more fair to you.Think about it...my generation of baby boomers have killed millions of your generation who would vote for your generation's welfare thus making the social safety net weaker and unsustainable. You should really hate us for "protecting our women's reproductive rights" during our child bearing years which makes your future uncertain at best."
In a way he has a point about reducing the number of voters in my generation, and thats where im stuck. How do I counter his points logically?
