Okay, but saying we are doing one dumb thing but justifying it by saying 'well we already are doing these other dumb/horrible things guess the whole system is broken' is simply giving up on the whole concept of organized government.

There is no government anywhere in the world, now or any time in history, that has done everything perfectly. But individual improvements to human rights and protections get us closer than just throwing ones hands up when it isn't perfect out of the gate.

We still fight stupid ideas like basically everything JD Vance has ever said because those ideas move us in the wrong direction. Defeating his idiocy doesn't make everything else perfect but it sure as hell keeps it from getting worse, and hopefully makes it easier to make more positive changes in the future.

I'm not justifying it. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of our "Right to Life" policies.

The same folks bleeting about the rights of a fetish will defend a cop who puts six rounds through it's mother's stomach
