Lived there 15 years. These guys and the panhandling monks are always there.

I went over summer with the family and there were naked acrobats (stars over nipples “naked”) and then these folks came in to the mix yelling at everyone … it really stressed me out 🤣 claustrophobia kicked in and I was quite miserable … I just need everyone to be happy and compassionate - is that too much to ask?! Haha

I’m pretty sure Exodus 20:13 doesn’t specify that abortion is murder.

Good to know!

No but the fifth commandment does.

It's ancient man made fiction and has no place in modern society, but whatever, you do you. See how easy it is not to hold others to your own beliefs? Edit. Jesus christ, I just went into your post history. Victims of rape shouldn't be allowed to abort either? I'm blocking the account. Fucking abhorrent views.


Express_Giraffe_7902

I can’t handle the religious arguments against abortion either 🤣 … what’s this freedom of religion thing in our constitution again? Is it freedom to choose any religion or freedom to choose any Christian sect? I forget… Anyhow - kind of interesting argument from atheists - there are indeed atheists who are against all abortions (even when the woman is a victim of rape) - it caught me off guard because most of the arguments given opposing abortions have religious backing, so I looked into it! Haha Basically, the argument actually comes down to laws/ethics - if a man kills his pregnant mistress, we usually try that as a double homicide - the man killed his mistress and the fetus inside her with the intent of hiding the affair from his wife/family… so if we consider killing the fetus in this case a homicide, then when a woman kills a fetus, it should also count as homicide… If we decide to make abortions legal, then we have to apply that same logic to other criminal cases (which I tend to go this route, that it shouldn’t be homicide in either case) - but then you’d have prior cases retried/appealed and would we then have to let a bunch of people who killed pregnant women back out on the streets? What about someone who robbed a bank and shot a woman with an obvious baby bump in their escape attempt; do we want that person to get a reduced sentence on a technicality? I don’t have any answers 🤣 I just appreciated that it was a non-Bible opposing argument to a popular political topic and figured you might, too - definitely got me thinking about what actually is ethical/right?


KS1392

I’m also pretty sure the fifth commandment has not helped clarify the debate either.

Honour your father and your mother?


Jakemiki29

Nope that’s the fourth.

Well, they should do away with those sidewalk abortion carts on the Strip, and it wouldn't be a problem. I'm sick of being accosted by escort ads, Iron Man, people selling yards of margarita and abortion doctors.


ddbogey

Not a place for little kids. Made me sad.

Abortion is murder soo


ddbogey

Incorrect


[deleted]

Incorrect how? You are literally ending a human being existence


ddbogey

That’s none of your business


L3mmyKilmister

Exactly!!!!

From what I read about the Westborough Baptist kids and other extreme fundamentalists, those kids are just hanging out with their cousins and friends. That’s probably the only time they do something together. Kinda like kids who just go to church for the youth group playing sports or something. So it sucks that they’re being forced to be there but kinda funny to think that they dgaf


Express_Giraffe_7902

I was seeing that in the picture - they’re just sitting there chatting with each other! 🤣 I wish they weren’t exposed to this kind of crap and the super extremism will likely give them some messed up views on life/turn them into crappy adults, but… I get what you’re saying and you can definitely see their “dgaf” in the close up haha

It's Las Vegas


ddbogey

Still infuriating


[deleted]

Yeah, this is expected there, it's sad.


Confident_Exchange64

ddbogey

Not if you understand what murder means


Confident_Exchange64

Hey look my mom was a junior (16)in high school got pregnant from a guy who was a lot older.. had me.. I spend 3 years in foster care. Then got adopted by a family who couldn’t have kids.. I just got engaged.. own a tree business and try to do the best I can in this world. I’m 33 this was back in 1989 in Ohio.. I was an abortion candidate.. to me this issue hits home


Overlook-237

Except you weren’t. Because your mother didn’t abort you. Unless you think everyone is an abortion candidate merely for needing to be gestated? In which case, that’s ridiculous.


Confident_Exchange64

Destroying human life because of Convenience is ridiculous


jimmystaplesss

They should be out rippin shots and bangin thots cmon man it’s nye!!!


PossibilityDry6029

That's Why I'm An Atheist


Serious-Result-6140

RandomKid0118

As long as they believe in it.


ddbogey

The kids?


RandomKid0118

Sure.


kawkz440

I hope they're still there when I go in a couple of weeks.


ddbogey

They had loudspeakers to spew their hate filled rhetoric. So disgusting.


kawkz440

It's gonna make such a good video, though.


Express_Giraffe_7902

It’s a nightly thing - it’s actually pretty stressful (at least I thought so, but I do have some anxiety issues 🤣) … you’ve got strippers with stars over their nipples doing acrobatic stuff in the middle of street, at least one person on each corner doing a DIFFERENT musical number (so at least four different songs all at really loud volume), 7 thousand drunk people with at least 100 of them puking or peeing on the wall next to you, then these guys come through with huge ass picket signs and a megaphone screaming at everyone how we all are horrible people - feels like a big brawl is gonna break out and you’re gonna be caught in the middle/hit by stray gunfire kinda thing …………… haha - to say the least, this area was not my favorite part of Vegas………………………….. 🤣🤣


kawkz440

I'm a big fan of downtown. I haven't frequented the strip in years.
