Society : "Political views"

Hi! I'm a 16 year old girl from New Jersey. I am politically conservative/libertarian.
I am pro life, second amendment (arming the citizen population), first amendment (freedom of speech, religion, etc.) and pretty much all of the constitution. I am pro lower taxes and Lasseiz faire economy. I'm pro life. I'm against socialism (including communism). I'm strongly against abortion and third wave feminism. I think any American who thinks they are oppressed is fooling themselves. I'm against government funding (of anything).
I think climate change is inevitable, but humans are vain to think they could do it, let alone "fix" it.
"I may not agree with a word you say, but I'll defend to my death your right to say it."

You said "I think people shouldn't have sex if they don't feel prepared to have a baby"
Well... that's your opinion. You can't decide for them. Men and women are clever enough to decide what they do of their bodies and if they don't feel ready to have a child then it's not your decision.
What does annoy you in the fact that a woman can get an abortion ? If you don't wanna hey an abortion it's your life, and everybody should respect you, as everybody should respect women who abort.
But if women can't have abortions, then you change everybody's life. There will be more homelesses, women will have traumas, raped women would have to get another trauma, women can't have some curetages which are sometimes necessary to save the mother's life....
You probably think they have to remind their mistakes. But it's not in forcing them to have a kid that you'll make them think your way. But if you really can't stand them, then just don't talk to them. But in a Republic, your way to think is yours and your body belong only to yourself.
Nobody must hate you because of your difference.

Thank you to share your point of view and to create this interesting debate.

Personally I agree with all that you said, but I am not sure about arming the population (this may have to do with the fact that I am only 14 lol). I am very much prolife myself. I dunno how to balance out guns because I am very much scared of guns myself and it's just kinda scary to me so I don't know what to say there. Government funding is certainly a problem. Perhaps if they didn't fund so much, more people would be motivated to go get jobs rather than simply decide to live off the government. I have a relative who won't get married because she is getting payments because she is a single mother (the baby daddy is in jail), even though she is living with and has been living with the same guy for many years. I believe in *some* government control, but not very much.

As I said I am very pro life and I believe that if a woman can't help the child, the community and her family can help her. I don't believe that the government should be getting in people's ways of helping their family. And I do look at both sides of the debate.... If a child in a woman's womb isn't really a child, well then it is just 9 more months of carrying it around if you don't do abortion. However, if a child really is a child in a mother's womb, then abortion is murder. Again, there other things you can do with your child than murder if you don't want it.

As a homeschooler I know it is cheaper and a lot better than public schooling. And parents can teach their children morals they want their children to know, and honestly a lot of accidental pregnancies happen in school (or so I've heard from my public schooled friends), therefore getting rid of most debate about abortion as well.

I also believe marriage is between a man and a woman. A marriage must be fruitful, and that means a man and a woman.

Most of this might reflect my Catholic faith, but I stand firm with my beliefs.

K, so personally, I think people shouldn't be having sex if they aren't prepared for the possibility of having a child. If, however, someone who can't afford it becomes pregnant, I think the community, not the government, should help her. Murder should never even be on the table as an option.

I find it kind of curious that you oppose both abortion and government funding. Since financial concerns are one of the factors that lead women to seek abortion, don't you think that providing support for families would help us save some of these babies? Or do you have another solution?

Naomi: k, so no, they aren't contradictions. Guns are as precautions and no one but homicidal maniacs buy guns, not to protect themselves or hunt, but to kill people. The second amendment exists to protect the first amendment. It's the citizens means of staying safe and preventing a totalitarian government from potentially existing.

Hi, I am not in agreement with about anything you said, but I wonder if you are religious or not? Did your religious views influence your political views?

Ok, so first of all you have completely contradicted you're claim that you're "pro-life" by saying you want to arm the citizen population. Do you realize that this means giving them guns, literally designed to take away lives?!
Secondly, I think abortion is very sad, but by making it illegal many are more likely to try and do it in illegal ways which are far more dangerous than getting it done legally for both the baby you're trying to protect and the mother herself. Furthermore, if someone isn't financially stable I think its wrong to force them into bringing a child into this world, where they don't even know if they would be able to put food on their table. You may say that it is her fault for not using protection but the truth is everyone makes mistakes, and as far as I'm concerned there is not yet a time machine. Plus there are so many circumstances that could have got her into this situation that she had no control over. I think it is a women's choice what she does with her body, and even if you don't agree with, at the end of the day it's her body not yours so you don't get a say in what she decides to do with it.
Thirdly, countries such as Sweden, which have high taxes, are very successful and in my opinion is one of the best places to live. You may think that living in a country where people are dying of hunger on the streets, while meanwhile there are people so insanely rich, like Jeff Bezos. If you think that this is in anyway moral, then I simply don't understand how. I understand that he 'worked hard to earn that money' but I don't think this makes it anymore justifiable, because someone could work just as hard cleaning toilets, earning next to nothing. I'm not saying that people who barely have enough money in the first place must give this away as tax, but there are people who have so much, who just are taxed so little.
About the climate change, if you're not going to listen to the very intelligent scientists, who know far more on this topic than both of us, then that's your idiocy, and I can't really say much to improve that.
You said you don't agree with government funding of anything-I don't completely know what you mean by this. The very roads you drive on are government funded, so are the schools that the majority of the population in America go to. If you want to privatize schools then you seem to think that education is something only to be enjoyed by the privileged/rich. This may not be what you mean I'm not sure. Maybe you are referring to the health care, which is privatized in America. Again, you said you're 'pro-life' but with privatized healthcare, you're implying that medical care (which is needed to keep you alive, fit and healthy) is something only to be used by those who can afford it. If the government funded better sex education and reduced the cost of contraception, this would reduce accidental pregnancies, therefore reducing the amount of abortions, which is literally something you want to decrease.

I'm sure you're a nice person, I just strongly disagree with your political views. :)

Hi! I also support weaponization of the population. It's the safest way to protect innocent. I agree with lowering taxes especially it's really high in my country. We should fight against Statism actaully not only socialism. Not only third wave feminism all of political correct people are treat to free world. I'm not fully against government funding programs but most of them are really useless. Actually climate change is inevitable but not with government funded green energy. With economich growth and private funded researchers innovations in green energy we can solve the problem.
