      Yes, I understand that that is how most people see it, and I would, except that killing children is objectively not based and people still beleive we are genuinely doing that. So this means you can’t say “based” to this and not actually look evil at this time because of the accepted zeitgeist.

        The fact people are still thinking that abortion and birth control is "killing children " makes it vital we ridicule it in exactly this way. If we hush hush about it we give them the power.
