This thread may already preach to the SaSu choir, but over the recent years, I've arrived at a conclusion throughout interactions with people as well as research on the Internet (forum interactions and how people online treat the suicidal and such). I've noticed a predictable pattern that most pro-lifers and anti-choicers tend to follow when interacting with suspected suicidal people or even pro-choicers. They essentially treat all of them the same, instead of differentiating between those who are non-impulsive and carefully thought through their plan, method, and execution versus those who are impulsive. So this thread will explain and go into detail of what I mean by their "playbook" as well as their overall structure and how it plays out.
What do I mean by their playbook? The pro-lifers' playbook is how a pro-lifer interacts with various people, especially those who they have knowledge or suspicion of being suicidal or a potential threat to themselves or others (mainly the former). Furthermore, their both their direct and indirect actions that cause one to suffer while also conspiring to cut off any exit (aka reliable ways to CTB as well as trying to prevent said person who is suffering from being able to exit sentience). So here is a general process that pro-lifers' use as part of their playbook in a given situation/interaction between the pro-lifer and the pro-choicer.
Situation where one is suffering → Pro-lifer offers empty words, false hope, and/or doing nothing that would help said person → Scouting for signs of would be CTB → thwarting or conspiring to thwart CTB plans → leaving the person to suffer without fixing the cause or allowing the person suffering to escape.
This kind of pattern is widely observed, almost cookie-cutter like process in most, general interactions with most pro-lifers and while some situations are different, they generally follow this pattern more or less.
Example interaction:
Here is an example, with characters C and A, where C is the person suffering and wanting out while A is a pro-lifer who is against pro-choice and wanting to impose their sanctity of life values onto everyone else. C is suffering from whatever problem that causes C to want to CTB (it can be any reason, multiple reasons or what not), then A, perhaps is an acquaintance or someone who knows C, but not necessarily close, just another person in this pro-life society. A offers false hope to C, and at the same is trying to scope out any signs that C may try to CTB or would be and try to thwart it. Once A finds out that C may be attempting to CTB, A does whatever they could to try and foil C's plan to escape suffering all the while offering nothing of value that would solve the cause for C to want to CTB.
While this example is vague, it highlights the general process of what the pro-lifer does and while every situation may have some nuance to them, the bottom line is that pro-lifers often try to do NOTHING (or that they are incapable of) besides false, empty promises and empty hollow platitudes (words), while simultaneously trying to scope out and probe any signs or hints of CTB, and finally intervening to prevent CTB without solving the cause of CTB. This not only fails to improve the person who is suffering situation, but even makes it worse as they are stuck in their predicament with no way out, no solution to make their predicament more manageable or less torturous, but also no way out (no reliable means or foiled plan to CTB).
Perhaps it is even by design that these despicable people knowing that they would conspire to do anything to try to foil the pro-choicer/suffering individual from leaving. This would entail scoping, profiling, looking for signs (of potential CTB), and encroachment of privacy as long as they can ensure (or make it as difficult as possible) that the person suffering would either be likely to fail and suffer even more (by limitation of peaceful and reliable methods) or not only not being able to make sentience tolerable (let alone enjoyable) for the sufferer.
In conclusion, pro-lifers and (by extension) anti-choicers are only looking out for themselves, validating their own egos, upholding the status quo, and of course meddling as well as being moral busybodies, all for the sake of them. There is no better evidence of this than how most people react to those who have CTB'd, especially if the person is a nobody (not family, best friend, or someone they know really well, but either a stranger or even distant acquaintance). It is merely nothing more than a virtuous signal, and last but not least, they make it all about themselves (how they feel, how they are impacted or affected, and how the ones who have successfully CTB'd inconvenienced them, etc.). With all that in mind, this thread basically exposes the tactics and despicable actions that pro-lifers take just to fulfill their interests, even at the cost of the person that they believe to be "helping".
