    This is ontologically and empirically false. I don’t really have time for debunking this incredibly self-masturbatory screed, but holy shit you have no idea about categorisation of beings or an arguments about the wrongness of killing. (You’re not exactly talking to someone as mentally deficient as you).

    The cortical organisation argument is simply cherry-picking a worse instance that satisfies the criteria of possibility of human experience. The fact that it is already a human organism is sufficient, especially since cortical organisation doesn’t grant consciousness and even if it did by definition it would fail to describe the wrongness of killing temporarily unconscious humans.

      You clearly don’t even understand the meaning of the words you’re parroting there, to the point that you ended up making the case for even later than 12 weeks abortion.

      It really is a case of your own ignorance justifying that others must go to jail.

        “You’re making the case for even later abortion”

        Well of course, the 12-week limit is pure horseshit. Literally nobody in ethics makes this argument it’s merely invented by supremely ignorant lay persons to pander to both sides.

        You only feel that it is an argument for later abortion, because you are affirming the consequent (a laughably stupid logic error to make) by assuming that abortion is already permissible.

        Either killing humans is permissible period or it’s not. Dependency and development arguments fail to provide exceptions that don’t also apply to adults.
