@DerekPederson3 I just don’t really care. I’ll happily be the last person on the planet saying “2+2=4” even if people don’t agree with me

@zjfrank13 7th to last

@EricAdamsFanBoy I think supporting a different policy set speaks more to different views of the causal story rather than differences in actual care about an issue in cases like these

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@EricAdamsFanBoy Yes I’d agree Matt Walsh makes a bad pro-lifer

He’s also not particularly representative of us

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@LessH8MoreSk8 Race isn’t the same thing as culture and it actually seems racist of you to conflate them

@Forrestening @ColeSandick @Coolnerdxx22 By what standard do I fail to meet up to your definition of conservative

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@WagsKoop @ColeSandick @Coolnerdxx22 Welp I tried

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@shanewallick My point here is: couldn’t your individual viability argument be used to justify the legal killing of born people?

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

I don’t. Because that’s a dolphin fetus. You’re not clever.

Every right winger in my mentions rn: “I can’t believe you won’t acknowledge this is a person!!!”

@shanewallick Does it seem right to you that Sue could use her power of attorney to terminate Ted’s life support out of convenience?

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@shanewallick A trouble I have w/ this framework, via analogy: suppose Ted and Sue are married, and Ted goes into a coma. Doctors predict he’ll come out of the coma in 9 months, good as new, though at Sue’s great monetary and emotional expense.

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@shanewallick There are many born people dependent on others to survive, although perhaps not to the same intimate level. One might think of a young infant, a disabled person, or a Siamese twin.

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@shanewallick A fetus seems rather like someone in a coma in this respect.

Additionally, does this not potentially create worrying moral hierarchies in personhood, if some brains function better than others? Do the lives of the mentally disabled count for less?

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@shanewallick Is there not a relevant difference btwn a fetus with a brain that, if allowed to develop, would eventually function properly, and a braindead person whose brain will never function again? It seems to me potential counts for something.

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@shanewallick So what differentiates the fetal life from any other human life in a moral sense, to you? Or do you take the JJT path to support for legal abortion?

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@acarlhater Oh yeah I knew that, the app I used has him under a different tab smh

@shanewallick Do you accept human lives generally as valuable and worth protecting? Why and on what grounds? My own may differ from yours on some level but I assume we at least have common ground there.

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@Adam171020 This was alphabetical by surname so it was just a happy coincidence

[sasseite ⛪️🌐🐘 @RespectableCon]

@shanewallick I think the current obvious position of metaphysical ambiguity defaults to the potential moral stakes. Given we consider born human lives so valuable and worth protecting, the moral stakes are higher here if they are persons than if not. Ergo, you have the burden of proof here.
