That's awfully ignorant, considering Musk gave $5.8B to the UN to deal specifically with world hunger.
Also, Twitter opted for a poison pill defense today.
has he though?

You keep bringing that up, you obviously don't understand my take on abortion. Other people certainly use their faith to justify their positions. I use the NAP for mine. I don't oppose sex education or contraceptives. I oppose killing people, and unlike you, I consider the unborn to be people.
again, you're approaching the issue in a fundamentally authoritarian way, one that simply doesn't make sense if your alleged empathy was genuine. outlawing abortion has no noticeable effect on abortion rates, it just makes them more dangerous. what prevents unwanted pregnancies and abortions (and has the added benefit of NOT punishing women in sometimes terrible situations, like rape and incest victims) are measures like the ones i mentioned above - but unsurprisingly, republicans often oppose them, because THEIR legislation (the one you're in favour of) is religiously motivated, hence my reference to theocracy.
should you ever want to educate yourself on the issue, maybe start here:
