I’ve always been anti-smacking, but having a baby of my own makes it so clear. How could you even think of hitting someone so vulnerable, so innocent, who is beginning to explore the world? It’s such an abuse; a way to cut someone’s spirit before it’s even begun to grow.

@ben Who’d slap a baby? No, you slap toddlers. (kidding)

modgalfri,

@ben Yup. My mother tells me, from the moment they brought me home, my teenage father would hit infant me if I cried. Learned helplessness explains so much and is a legacy of the prolife movement that no one talks about 🥺💔

@modgalfri I'm so sorry. The idea and image of that brings me to tears just thinking about it.

modgalfri,

@ben I’m sorry. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it…

@modgalfri No need to apologize from your end! I hope this becomes less and less common over time.

@ben it's simple. You may be even conservative or Christian but you're not "conservative" and "Christian" how the far right tries to redefine it. There is no bigger hate than "Christian" love.
