As to the "playing god" thing, I was actually quite amazed at how touchy the IVF doctors were about that issue. They had some interesting rules about what they would and wouldn't tell the parents about the offspring options. I'd have to go ask my friends about it again for all of them, but I remember one of the rules was the doctors wouldn't tell them the color of the eyes before choosing.

My first challenge to you would be to go look into the eyes of infertile people and tell them that “not everyone deserves a child, it’s not a right, it’s a gift.”

It’s easy to argue on the internet behind your keyboard. Much much harder to say your shitty beliefs out loud in front of people.

Here is my second question for you. A hypothetical.

You are at a fertility clinic, and a fire breaks out. You run past a room almost engulfed by flames, and see a little 4-year-old child in there, screaming for help.

As you go to rescue this child, you notice that the other side of the room has hundreds of embryos in Petri dishes. Babies, according to your beliefs.

You only have time to save one of those things. A 4-year-old child or hundreds of babies.

Who do you save? Be honest.

Sorry, but inaccurate. It may be described as a commensal relation at minimum.

The foetus propagates the parents genes and contributes towards the perpetuation of the species which from a biological perspective which is good. In a parasitic relation, the host only loses and the parasite only gains. In motherhood, the body is actually going out of its way to actually accommodate the baby and in return the baby does confer some positives from modulating the immune system to make the mother less susceptible to allergens to downright increasing infection fighting capabilities (see foetal microchimerism).

I feel this need to add this: I know this is a meme, and that I'm very pro choice.

they are evil, but they are not illogical. there seem to be a confusion between logic, which is objective, and morality, which is not. they are reaching the logical conclusion of pro-life from their morality, which is evil.

i think the mentality of "they are evil, therefore they are not logical, therefore there is no point trying to talk to them" is very unconstructive. because it rules out the possibility of change. if you think they cannot be changed, what else can you do? wait for them to all die, then we'd all be living in paradise? or throw 40% of US citizens in prison?

The "abortion is murder" crowd is against it up until it personally affects them.

Apparently "that's different and you know it"

What's extra wild to me are those who stay logically consistent through that patch; that is they believe abortion even in cases of rape and incest is still immoral and thus should be illegal.

Their logic is "women are cattle that exist to breed" and so there's literally no argument in favor of abortion you can ever make.

The only thing that ever convinces them is if a woman becomes a person to them, so perhaps a daughter or other family member, and so they're able to justify her abortion because she's a person. This will never be applied to a woman they don't know.
