re: #766 Coracle

And I can find biological journal articles that describe a fetus as ‘a successful allograft, a successful tumor, [or] a successful parasite.’

I think this kind of language-argument doesn’t have much value. Even if I were to concede your definitional point in its entirety, critical biological behaviors of a fetus are still parasitic in nature, and that is what matters to my point.

This. I have seen this tactic for YEARS. It always derails the discussion from the topic of forcing a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term = literal slavery of that woman to some goofy, meaningless semantics argument that successfully directs the argument to the “fetus really is a baby” meme.
