Liz Allen quotes a soundtrack from a video of an abortion.
The abortion is icky-poo. Whether it is icky-poo or not
is not the key issue, and has no relevance to whether
abortion should be allowed or not. It is allowable to
vomit, kill prey, and to go potty. All icky.
Yet, nobody tries to ban them.
Liz Allen numbers 4 characteristics of that
10 week old fetus. A random lizard has them, too.
The difference between killing a 10 week old embryo
and the random lizard is that one of them is of
the same species as us. It is hard-wired in
to us to favour cute little pink things which
resemble humans. This is the level of emotion,
of animal feelings, not reason. It is for ensuring
survival of the species. I think we are now at the
point where quality is more important than quantity,
however. (4.5 billion, or was it 4.7?)
