I see these pro-abortion leftists with their "we should be able to abort because they might be born with a physical defect"

I was born with a physical defect. Nice to see how you either 1. view my worth 2. assume the quality of life i feel. and in both cases feel you have the moral authority to decide if i get to live or die without my consent.

How about we go all the way with that logic? We will all suffer, whether we are born healthy or not. life is hard, nature is cruel, how about we just nuke all life?

I think Liberals are more likely to accept people who are different than them than the uptight Trumploving Nazis are.

SnickersDOM · M

your profile has an abundance of mentions of "leftists", do you have any similar critiques of conservatives, fascists, moderates, centrists, etc.?

@Therealsteve I didn't get to agree to being born, to where I was born, or into which family I was born, I wonder, at what point do you think any of us acquire any actual rights? The moment the egg is fertilized, or at some point after that, or before it?

@SnickersDOM You can keep wondering. thanks

@Therealsteve do you have any preferred accurate and dispassionate nomenclature for the individuals in the broad swaths of the masses, who don't have any mental illness diagnosis, and also regularly enage in activities which are totally normalized in their culture / cohort but objectively contribute to, for example, the worsening of climate and degradation of the environment, with the full cognizances and knowledge of the impact of their activities, which doesn't persuade them to give up any non-essential wants?

It is logically impossible for a fetus to choose an abortion because a fetus lacks the brain development, consciousness, and logic required to make decisions. As an adult trying to make sense of this, you are projecting retrospective agency onto a developmental stage that precedes self-awareness.

@Therealsteve
That was the point of choosing an abortion or not? Genuine reply and counter question.

@SUPERVlXEN Once you genuinely and directly reply to what I first asked, thank you.

@Therealsteve
I thought so, an insincere question after all. This isn’t about gotcha points by illogical thought process where you mix apples with oranges.

Existentialism: Existence Precedes Essence

Defining Value:
A fetus has no "essence" or identity. Your identity and human value started after you were born, through your choices, thoughts, and lived experiences.

The Past is Immutable:
Philosophy treats the circumstances of your birth as a historical fact, not an ongoing trial. You do not need to justify being here; your presence in the world is already justified by the fact that you exist.

And with this, have a lovely day!
