I know.
It's incredible, isnt it?
I mean, to think someone really thinks this kind of 'defence via pretence of stupidity' just boggles the mind.
It boggles my mind that they seriously think reality and public policy should be determined by THEIR lack of education and information. A fetus should be adjudged as "not a person" merely because he does not look like what they think of as a person, aka an adult human being.
Agreed.
It's the same old prejudice of 'It's not familiar to me, nor what I can empathize with, so it must not be human.' And that's not much different than the thinking of every ideological thug and murderer from Kemal Attaturk, to Adolph Hitler, to Stalin and Mao to Pol Pot.
It is a dangerous thing to dehumanize other people because the same logic can undermine how others see you and your kind as well.
I am always extremely grateful that reality continues to be what it is and the universe continues to work the way it does irregardless of whether or not humanity comprehends it.
