Fun bioethics fact: it's really pretty difficult to say why most rationales justifying abortions don't also apply to young babies. Like, they're not any more advanced cognitively than like an adult hog or something, and they're not any more capable to self-sufficiency than embryos. I really think it comes down to "you can give them to someone" and "people like babies."

ashtar. - 2020-10-06 The difficulty for the other side is to show how arguments against abortion based on potential persons don't apply to not-yet-conceived embryos. It's all academic, though, since abortion opponents are not really interested in this sort of debate.

ashtar. - 2020-10-06 To relate that to the stem cell thing, incoherence and inconsistency are the defining features of the modern American Right. They don't have principles. They have an out group, and seek power to hurt them. Trump is the man of the moment specifically because, as a narcissist he doesn't use words to convey meaning, he uses them as tools to elicit behavior from others.
They don't give a shit about abortion or using stem cells, and they're not interested in having coherent beliefs, they just say abortion words to discipline women and trigger the libs. Trying to engage them in debate or pointing out hypocrisy is misunderstanding

Two Jar Slave - 2020-10-07 I miss Evil Homer; at least his contrarian squabbling was done with a wink. Remember how he'd throw "Mr" in front of people's screen names, like "Mr Two Jar Slave, how do you account for..?" That always made me chuckle.

That does it. Baby executions are beyond the pale. I'm a conservative now.

Meerkat - 2020-10-08 Guillotine is absolutely not appropriate for babies because their rubbery heads go all flat and squishy when they hit the floor and it's off-putting.
The appropriate method of execution for babies is putting them on spikes.
Preferably before the space monkeys show up.
