"Last week, Adam Ford, the popular Christian comic artist who founded satire site The Babylon Bee, posted on Instagram a comic comparing the moral outrage of abortion to the moral outrage of slavery. On Wednesday, he noticed that Instagram had pulled the post for "hate speech." Ford called the ban's timing suspect, given the rising tide of outrage against abortion in recent months."


Hate speech=any speech I don't agree with.

No, Janelle, abortion is not like slavery, so stop looking foolish in comparing the two. For one thing, what if a female slave's idea of resisting slavery was to perform self abortions on herself? If you think she shouldn't, then if you were a slave, would you want your children to become the same as you? SLAVES! Abortion is not slavery, or is it comparable to slavery.

Meh. Their website, their rules. Any rules can change at any time on any website. It's the way of the internet.

If Ford doesn't like it, he's free to start his own website.

This made no sense

Companies are free to make their own rules and we are free to give our opinions on those rules. Private companies have freedom of action but are not above reproach.

We are also free to use alternate sites like Gab, alternate apps like Dissenter and alternate browsers like Brave or Opera.

So If I owned a slave, they were my personal property and it was perfectly legal.... I was 100% within my rights to abuse, dispose, kill or sell that property any way I see fit.

Sounds exactly like the argument that justifies the right to abortion. It's my body so I'm 100% within my rights to abuse, dispose, kill or sell that body any way I see fit.

That baby or slave is not human so killing and abusing is completely legal.
Seems like the 2 issues have a lot in common.
Both are not human but property in the eyes of the law.

Until we wake up and make them both human.

It's not as simple as "their website their rules." All businesses have to adhere to public regulations. Currently with these social media behemoths (google, facebook who largely cornered the market), it's time to think about regulating them in a way that they can't censor content towards their biases.

That’s wrong. These platforms have become so entangled in the marketplace and the exchange of information that its wrong for them to ban one side of the political equation. Your ideas and values are being erased. We are getting more and more bifurcated. These are dangerous times when the person advocating for not killing babies is considered the extreme position. They don’t want to debate. They want to banish you from the public square.
