  1. I agree, but abortion is not murder. Not any more than what we do to hundreds of thousands of cows and pigs each and every day, at least.

  2. Hmm, maybe because it's not murder? 🤔 Figure that one out... 🤦‍♂️ I notice you dweebs never care about the slaughtering of innocent cows and pigs, which causes INFINITELY more suffering than any amount of first-trimester abortions ever will. But it was never about suffering, was it? Unless your intent is to make women suffer, which seems to me to be the only coherent explanation.

  3.  @vgdubrovin8439  So you're in favor of employers or the government providing free birth control to all employees or adults 18 and over, including high-schoolers when they come of age? Awesome!

  4. Squirrels have a heartbeat. This argument is quite honestly one of the dumbest I have ever heard. Even when a fetus is old enough to feel pain, so can a full-grown cow. That doesn't stop us from hanging them by their hind legs and slicing them open while they're still alive because we like the taste of their flesh, now does it? What makes humans unique is that we can attain a higher level of consciousness than all other animals in the animal kingdom, and use this as a source for creative intelligence. It's why we have everything from language to civilizations to automobiles. It also means we are capable of suffering at a higher level (or so biologists and neuroscientists think), and this serves as the foundation for a sound argument that we ought to afford greater privileges to grown members of our own species. But that only applies to grown members; a fetus has none of these capabilities, and the fact that it might if nurtured is irrelevant. As far as consciousness is concerned, the estimate is somewhere around 6 months of age (outside the womb) that humans achieve anything of real moral significance. Development of the ability to experience pain, of course, happens long before that --- but such a defense against abortion is not consistently applied, or else everyone who has ever "cleaned" a fish is guilty of a deeply immoral act, let alone everyone who is complicit in the mass slaughter of sentient mammals for food.
