When you consider the millions of human lives (and particularly how many of them were of minorities, particularly blacks) have been snuffed out in the past forty years by the “pro-choice” movement, this image seems somewhat appropriate. A century later, the “progressives” remain objectively eugenicist. Stand with Wendy, indeed.

The whole story also blows away the notion of common ground with “pro-choice”. This was suspected with the quiet discussion about Kermit Gosnell. It shouldn’t be hard to say that what Gosnell did was wrong, because murder is murder. When you kill a living person outside the womb, that’s murder. But Gosnell was also violating the state’s late term abortion law. Well, can’t have such a law like that in Texas, because that might [further] undercut the decided federal “law” of Roe v Wade.
If it’s murder, why have a separate law? There’s no need to outlaw murder on Tuesdays, as murder is already outlawed.
But hey, let’s run with your analogy and treat living persons outside the womb just like living people inside the womb. You’ve just been told that your ongoing pain and suffering, extensive risk to your own life and a terrible burden even if everything goes well, is required to keep another person alive. You’ve never met this other person but you’re assured you’ll like them when you meet them, although you’re not totally convinced. Do you have a duty to keep them alive?
Suppose your answer is yes, as I expect it will be, are other people allowed to disagree? Do you think it is even possible to force them to agree?
If it’s murder, why have a separate law?
Agreed.
The rest of your response is a hypothetical full of false pretenses, and I’ll treat it with as much effort as you did.
My mother-in-law endured a lot of that kind of thing while her second husband was dying of vascular dementia. The idea of putting him to death early for her own convenience never even crossed her mind.
So, you’re saying it was her duty to suffer to keep him alive?
Or not?
It’s a simple question.
“If it’s murder, why have a separate law?”
For the same reason we have the 13th Amendment.
