It's so unsettling seeing anti-abortion rhetoric from young people (hexbear.net)

I just saw some person morally grandstand about murder in response to a joke about abortion in a comment section somewhere

It feels so uncanny when it's not suburban Evangelical Karens doing it on Facebook but random people presumably under 30

It's not a standalone argument. It says that if you believe that life begins at conception, then you believe the vast majority of people who have birthed children are guilty of manslaughter. And I think that illustration is a good way to open up how preposterous it is to equate a handful of cells to a breathing, dreaming, social human being.

Or that if life begins by conception, then by far, the biggest killer of people is miscarriage, or eggs failing to implant in the uterus. There's not a single disease or regime on Earth that comes close to killing as many people as miscarriage. But there's no marches to research a cure for miscarriage. No candlelight vigils for them.
