Liberals care about kids when it comes to school shootings but when you talk about the third of our generation having been killed by abortion then all of a sudden it’s fuck them kidsyou said living beings not person, everything you just said is tangentially relevant to what you said before. you used the following terms that id like you to identify in the context of what you initially said: 1) living beings, 2) rational, 3) right to life, 4) rational substance, 5) rational function, 6) validly inferring, 7) moral choices also can you reconcile the contradiction between "comprehending and validly inferring" with something that doesnt think
but they are their own separate, independent entity, they interact with the world independently of any other being, fetuses are not that way, they don’t interact with the world at large and are entirely on dependent on another human being to survive there is a difference personhood and biological human life, fetuses that aren’t viable don’t have personhood as they can’t exist independently
yes, the difference between kids and fetuses is that fetuses are not capable of a meaningful life outside the womb before 24 weeks, they REQUIRE the mother’s organs and nutrients, dependency outside the womb is very different than inside bc the kids are still capable of their own independent experiences even if dependent on their parents
The specific thing I argue is that if your “right to life” requires someone else’s organs, then that someone else’s bodily autonomy trumps your right to life If someone needs a kidney to survive, people can choose not to give up their kidney bc of bodily autonomy, I see it the same way for fetuses, if you need another human being’s organs for survival, they can cut you off at any time bc of bodily autonomy
The biological use of the womb has little to do with this argument imo, natural law and the Christian argument I reject fully simply because I reject natural law Is the womb for holding a fetus? Yes, but that doesn’t mean it has to do its intended biological purpose. Our mouths are for eating, but oral sex is pretty nice too And I think bodily autonomy outside of certain cases where it’s a social safety hazard otherwise (psychiatric holds, vaccinations) and I don’t think abortion fits that
This is a moral debate, morals are opinionated, there is no absolute morality Rights are social constructs, none of them actually exist, we create them as a society to promote social stability, but they aren’t physical things that actually exist or are based in any sort of objective guide
I mean I’ve studied moral systems like Kant, Bentham, and natural law in college My idea is that there is no unified moral framework that fits all scenarios well, most moral frameworks are absolutely destroyed at their extremes whether it be natural law, utilitarianism, or Kantian ethics
