I keep waiting for the moral shift against abortion. If more people see what a late-term abortion looks like they'd be mortified and horrified. I think the fact people don't see it helps shape their perception of abortion being the killing of a 'clump of cells'.I forget where I read it but apparently new technology can show the painful cries of the fetus as it's being aborted. At the very least, we need to stop celebrating abortion as if it's a noble right to choose. It's beyond that at this point. It's a means to an end. The abdication of personal moral responsibility really.
The "clump of cells" argument is particularly dangerous because the same description may be fairly applied to the adult human without modification or exception.
The sublime inference behind that argument is that one person is equipped to adjudicate the humanity of another. That one person is competent to adjudicate the personhood of another.
I cannot imagine a more terrifying prospect than someone else deciding whether or not I am even human.
Many thanks for this greatly enlightening, timely piece!
Don’t know how i got here

Better pray that sort of person isn't a sociopath or psychopath. Or just plain stupid.
You are here.
