    Who the fuck said we had to choose either?

    They did, and pointing that out will (I’m guessing) be met with some form of covering their ears and saying “nah nah nah I can’t hear you.”

      I’ve seen the sort. When confronted with the real-world results of their moralizing, they retreat to quoting cherry-picked Bible verses and posting pictures of fetuses (“look how human she looks!”).

        Random question but I’m just wondering your position on this. Is the burden of proof on pro-choice or pro-life advocates when it comes to the humanity of a fetus? In other words, should abortion be legal until we can prove that a fetus is human or should it be illegal until we can prove it isn’t? Just genuinely curious.

          They didn’t answer, so I will. Trust the experts. This is too complex for us amateurs to balance the level of development of the foetus versus the health and thriving of the woman versus the social and economic effects of allowing the foetus to have a go at becoming more developed
