    Lemmy.one is run by the guy who runs privacy guides.org. That being said, if you look at the small list of communities he created, I guarantee that he won't allow any conservative views there either. There's one privacy community and 4 or 5 alternative lifestyle communities.

    Better off making your own instance at this point. Most of Lemmy is liberal/left wing regardless of what their sidebars say.

    Alternating feet requires that each leg's muscle groups work in complete opposite to each other. Your brain has to process doing two different things at the same time.

    "You appear to think abortion is the act of killing the fetus. This is wrong. Abortion is the act of removing the fetus from the womb."

    So what typically happens when you remove a fetus (with a heartbeat, brain activity, and arguably, a functioning CNS) from the womb? It dies.

    While I believe you are almost completely wrong, it's your right to discuss it. It's mine to disagree. However, one side can't discuss their beliefs if the other side who controls the button says no.

    You're saying that abortions are used to end non-viable pregnancies. I'm saying that there are millions of people who do it because they just don't want the product of their intercourse. Some abortions I can accept, in very specific circumstances, but we will still never agree.
