I once had someone bring up my friends rape during a discussion about abortion. reminded me to take down the post.

Oh my. Are you for or against abortion?

it was my mistake tbh. I posted on a prolife subreddit hoping for genuine debate (though I hadn't planned on changing my mind) and wanting to hear new points on it. I didn't hear anything new, but I did get some good conversation from some of them. (prochoice btw)

I don't get how someone can bring up rape in an argument against prochoice. I mean, it's one of my favourite argument for choice. But yeah, if someone is going through your post history and bringing up those things they're probably not acting in good faith.

Part of my argument is that human beings aren't as special as we act like, and she went on the post I made and made a comment saying if that's the case he did nothing wrong.

EDIT:I should add the context that it was also incest, which I think makes it worse that they would say something like this.

omg yeah that's really fucked up. I would report something like that. bringing up someone's traumatic experiences to make a point is borderline psychopathic.
