Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Those are some world class assumptions you are making about me.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood are traumatic and giant commitments that should NEVER be dropped on anyone by chance.
Comparing accidental parenthood to accidental death or injury is fucking stupid. Those things do not involve a massive avoidable physiological process that ends in suddenly becoming responsible for raising a new person and/or somehow seeing to it that they live a good life.
Parenthood can and should be planned, and 100% avoided if necessary. Abortion is, and must continue to be, the last way out.
Thinking otherwise is monstrous.
You're the one who made assumptions about me first calling me a misogynist.
Contraception is the last way out. Use it.
At least I made some reasonable leaps in logic.
Calling someone who wants to guarantee women one of the most basic rights a human should have, a "nazi", is a bit a jump, eh?
And when it fails? Or when you get raped at fourteen?
No-one is saying abortion replaces contraceptives. But it HAS to be an option. The alternative is simply unacceptable.
Your way is how you get a lot of unwanted children sired by the unprepared, irresponsible, young, sick, stupid, impoverished, insane and criminal. At worst, all of those at once, severely derailing the lives of parents and child alike.
You completely ignore the fact that where an accidental pregnancy occurs, and a happy ending is possible, good parents aren't going to choose to abort.
And that by closing that option off for the rest, forcing unprepared parents to commit, you bring a bunch of kids into a existence in all the places where they weren't wanted and prepared for. That doesn't end well for anyone, least of all the child.
And you might wanna double-check who your are voting for, because a lot of "pro-life" lawmakers are also anti-contraceptive.
