@zwright03@NickTomei15@BrettKollmann You don’t think Indianapolis’s economy is greatly affected by LOS? Hell, the NFL combine itself generates a noticeable boost to downtown Indy’s local economy (which is a big reason why the Colts/Mayor: others are attempting to fight tooth and nail to keep it in Indy)
@nuance_guy@DerekPederson3 And yes, at that point it was able to feel pain.
Any counter arguments that you could find that would prove the opposite would be beneficial.
@nuance_guy@GregBenage@DerekPederson3 Except it’s not a false equivalency. These were mainstream, defendable actions by societies in the past, many of them utilizing the same argumentation as pro choicers.
@nuance_guy@DerekPederson3 What’s insane is acknowledging that a human when born is a human but then saying that same human 5 months prior isn’t human.
@nuance_guy@GregBenage@DerekPederson3 Try this mindset with rape, slavery, racial eugenics and see what society looks like.
This isn’t a debate about limiting what kind of dog people can own or attempting to regulate 2 consenting adults bedroom. This is a debate about the value of human life
@nuance_guy@DerekPederson3 There absolutely was dismemberment (the child was able to feel at this point) and “yet” is the entire crux of this debate- no one just “becomes” a newborn.
@TheChunkeyNinja@mr_tilde16@Ne0Mango It’s not a call to empathy- it’s following the logical conclusion of what a human life is.
You and every human alive at one point was “just a fetus”.
@TheChunkeyNinja@mr_tilde16@Ne0Mango We all were that “unconscious fetus”, that’s the point. You didn’t just magically appear out of thin air after _____ weeks
@nuance_guy@GregBenage@DerekPederson3 It proves that some know it’s wrong but for a myriad of reasons don’t have the intestinal fortitude to actually do the right thing and fully stand up against it, much like many atrocities in our species’ past.
@batboysagogo@Bobbythirdway This is no different than infants that are intentionally neglected and left to die by parents “who don’t want them.” In your eyes this neglect and death is 100% warranted since they “didn’t want them.”
