I’m going to presume that you’re confused rather than lying.
NOBODY thinks “it’s okay to kill babies.”
The reality is that those who support a right to abortion do not believe that fetuses qualify as “babies” at all. In their opinion, a fetus is at most a potential person - not an actual person.
Yes - I understand that that’s not your position, and I’m sure you have lots of what you believe to be compelling arguments to support your view that fetuses docqualify as “babies,” but that’s explicitly NOT the position of people who support a right to abortion.
So when you characterize the pro-choice position as one that asserts that “it’s okay to kill babies,” you’re at the very least misrepresenting what they actually believe.
I presume you consider yourself to be a moral person, so you should likely ask yourself - just how moral is your position, really, if you feel compelled to lie and misrepresent the views of those who disagree?
A failure to understand or believe that abortion is murder does not make it no long a murder. For the people that believe Jews deserve to die their opinion does not change the fact that the holocaust was genocide. I also said “in the future” since, much like slavery was accepted in the past, I believe our understanding of human life will undergo change and abortion will be viewed as a murder of innocents.
How many children do you foster? How many have you adopted? 3, 4, 10, 100?
Funny you should ask I work in a fostering program and have much more experience I’d wager with foster children both those taken from homes and those given up for adoption. However just because a child isn’t wanted and is in foster care does not mean you should be able to kill it.
Going to pretend you’re not a troll BigToe.
It seems like you’re all for lab grown meat and killing off the livestock for meat industry correct? Fish and other animals would be similar? Anything with a nervous system and at least some semblance of intelligence or self preservation that probably isn’t a plant? With eventually lab grown plants or nutrients that aren’t used through forced reproduction or killing offspring since they’re alive, but not sapient.
How do you see birth control working in that future? With zero abortions, you’d have to have something like men and women sterilized at adolescence then allowed conceiving rights once they hit an arbitrary age like 18? Free condoms, medical procedures, or other variations of birth control in every home or at a free doctor for everybody under 18?
Presuming, for the sake of argument, that the consensus in the future comes to be that it is in fact murder, then yes - it’s rightly labeled “murder” regardless of the view one might hold.
But that’s beside my point.
To carry on with this particular context, what you’re asserting is that those who support a right to abortion believe that murder is okay, which is very much NOT what they in fact believe. They believe that it does not qualify as “murder” at all.
So again, you’re misrepresenting what they actually believe, and doing so in order to saddle them with a moral position they do not in fact hold, snd that dishonesty, in my estimation, calls into question the notion that you actually are a moral person.
Oh, and for the record, I think you’re wrong anyway. I think that when all of the reactionary, emotional fervor dies down and cooler heads prevail, the beginning of human life will be defined by the exact same thing that’s already the accepted marker for the end of human life - the presence or absence of measurable cortical activity.
And curiously enough, cortical activity can only be detected in fetuses well into the second trimester.
I disagree with your logic, it is a massive logical fallacy to say that becuase something isn’t murder now that even if it’s seen as murder in the future it wasn’t murder in the past. Slavery now is still the same as slavery in the past and past atrocities do not become humane because they are viewed through the lens of time. Now legally speaking sure, if slaves are allowed then slavery is legal, but legality does not in any way dictate morality. This begs the question why do you keep insinuating that because something is legal then it is moral?
