Joe, that is not the point. You know full well.
No, that's exactly the point. You are invoking "Science", but science doesn't see a glob as being equal to the woman it's inside.
Furthermore, most scientists are aware of the differences between men and women. They know that human DNA from an unborn child is human regardless of its stage of gestational development.
Your obsession with transgender people is not the topic of this thread.
Even animals with the basest instincts can recognize life inside and outside of the womb. They know it is their kind, they do not reason to exterminate it as we do. But we, as the presumably intellectually superior species on this planet, instead, attempt to qualify a choice by exterminating life as it is developing in the womb, using the logic you just employed.
Um, really? I've seen pet mice eat their own young. If you want to use nature as a guide, you are going to have issues. Nature is ruthless, and most animals never see adulthood, depending on species.
Perhaps. But given the quantum leaps in medical science since then, infant mortality in the US, at least, has been drastically reduced. If this is what's fueling your logic, you need further edification.
No, that's exactly the point. If we have eliminated infant mortality to nothing (good for us) it follows that we also need to reduce the birth rate to keep the population from outstripping the ability to feed it.
Otherwise, the whole planet will look like this.
You have this need to debase and devalue human life, to draw on archaic views of human life, to justify this want to allow abortion on demand, without apology. It is a mangled line of logic that I am surprised you would let air here in a public forum.
I would be just as happy if there were never another abortion, because women always practice contraception and only have sex with men who are good father material, and we do something about wealth inequality to the point where a $300.00 abortion is better than a $10,000 live birth you can't afford.
We don't live in that world.
With all due respect, I fully understand your logic despite your contestations, and the more you attempt to elaborate, the more disturbing it will likely be. Attempting to disabuse you of that logic would be a futile effort.
Nope, I live in the real world. A world where real people have to make real choices.
When I was in the service, there was this woman I knew who was dating a fellow NCO. A real creep. Then she got knocked up, and of course, he wouldn't marry her. He had been stringing her along for three years at that point.
So she got an abortion.
The alternative would have been dropping out of college, ruining her life prospects, for a kid she didn't really want.
Real world.
