re: #770 allegro

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.

You seriously saying this was a tactic on my part? Seriously?

What the fuck. That is such a shitty allegation.

What I’m pointing out is that a fetus isn’t really a baby, it’s not really a parasite, it is a distinct thing, and it’s better for people to talk about and understand its actual nature rather than use shock tactics in discussion. Understanding, for example, how late in development cognitive functions come online, and how just exactly not like a developed human an embryo is.
