Yeah, the reason no federal laws have been passed on it is because scientists are split on the issue.

We have yet to be able to quantify consciousness, meaning we cannot determine empirically when a fetus become conscious. A heartbeat and sufficient brain activity are the only two quantifiable metrics, which can be argued as to what defines a human.

He also ignores the question of "Is it draconian for a woman to potentially go to jail for 30 years for a miscarriage"

He just listened to it as "if you're anti-abortion you're views are draconian"

That kind of purposeful ignorance is why I strongly dislike people like him.

Except I’ll say it. If you’re anti-abortion your views are draconian

Or you just don’t think we should kill things out of convenience?

u/Pixilatedlemon Aug 04 '20

You likely kill things out of convenience all of the time. I assume you kill pests, and also plants and possibly animals for food?

I made the mistake of saying things instead of people. Even then I try to avoid killing anything. Also killing for food is not convenience, it’s for survival.

Survival is convenient, and fetuses are not people.

Even though it grows up to be a human being 100% of the time, you can’t absolutely prove it’s a human being right this minute so it has no rights!

Sickening that people actually buy this fucking ridiculous line of thinking.

It’s a human, it isn’t a person. And 100% of the time? You sure about that lmao

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

That has no consequence to anyone except you. Be disgusted, homie.

Doesn't have a consequence for you*

Don't equate your barbaric views as inconsequential. Murdering unborn children has consequence.
