RE: Send your cumrags to TX Gov. Abbott!
Fetus is not a human. It does not even resemble newborn until 4 months old. Even then its brain is not cognitively developed to show any signs of sense of self awareness or response to external communication. You cannot kill something which is not even human yet. What makes us human is developed cognition and self awareness. Fetus has non of these.
Plese, educated yourself about what science already knows about fetus. We are not living in medieval ages.
-Opinions of aesthetic similarity to a newborn are irrelevant just as size, communication abilities, and self-awareness are.
-Someone on life support in a coma may respond to communication or demonstrate self awareness but that doesn't change them into something other than a human, after all.
-Of course you can kill something that's not human. All animals can be killed, regardless of their species.
-"Developed cognition and self awareness" aren't requisites for being human according to any dictionary I've seen.
-You are correct in observing that we're not living in the middle ages. It's a wholey irreverent statement to the topic at hand, but it's accurate nevertheless. Gold star.
I believe those are your own words from a few moments ago.
@steemlocomotive Indeed. Do you have something to add? Or a comment about it perhaps?
