Trying very very very VERY hard not to engage on Facebook with people responding to someone who posted this link: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9113394/Killing-babies-no-different-from-abortion-experts-say.html
Yes, it sure as fuck IS different from abortion.
No, the "medical ethicists" who wrote this trash are not representative of mainstream pro-choice thought.
No, we should not treat fertilized eggs the same as born child, or grown adults, especially not as better than the woman carrying said egg, because modern medicine has somehow made the point of viability such a vague and blurry thing you can't tell where it begins anymore.
No, being pro-choice is not a type of moral relativism that leads us all down a Godless and immoral path.
No, this is NOT the sort of topic that you, Pompous Gluteal Haberdasher I Hope To Never Meet and Random Other Guy I Also Don't Know But Who Seems Moderately Clueful By Comparison, would be better off discussing over a cold beer, as if it's only a theoretical exercise and not a real issue that real women suffer real consequences from.
