Living. That's why we prohibit abortion after the foetus is developed enough to survive outside the mother, only making exceptions for foetuses that are incompatible with life or if the pregnancy will kill the mother.

Like coherence, knowing anything about what you're talking about, and a clean criminal record, being a Republican cartoonist doesn't require or value subtlety. So anyone who ever has a D by their name will be depicted messily making out with Marx and Satan while laughing as terrorists deprive veterans of apple pie. The difference is whether that person is called a c word, an n word, a k word, or an s word, just as another reason they are awful.

Why the gently caress does Adam4d think killing non-innocent people is okay? Seriously, that's what he's arguing here. He could have said 'human life' but he's gotta point out that foetuses are 'innocent' until born. He allows for the idea that non-innocent lives can be terminated without remorse.

Jesus said, "13love thy enemy, unless you can figure out a way to define 'em as non-innocent, in which case terminate their asses."

As medical science advances, and fetuses could survive outside the womb at earlier and earlier times during development, should the cutoff for abortions be changed?

No, it should be taken out of the womb and then a fundie should be given the responsibility of caring for it.

"Didn't I use", lurn 2 gramer



The used+to construction is quite unique and atypical so it could be prone to becoming a frozen form (and I see "didn't used to" fairly often) so I had to check out what linguists say about
its negation

Huddleston & Pullum: The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language posted:

(after discussing the variants "usedn't to" and "didn't used to")
"...'[U]sed to' is pronounced with a single /t/ and hence is homophonous with [use to] and the spelling 'used' is sometimes found instead of 'use' in negative and inverted constructions... Morphologically, 'use' [in this particular auxiliary construction] is highly defective: it has no present tense, no gerund-participle, and no past participle (except for the occasional preterite perfect "had used to"). The plain form is found only in construction with auxiliary 'do'...

It's a preterite form that can act grammatically like either an auxiliary or a lexical verb depending on the speaker and its use is restricted to one particular context; "didn't I used to" could easily become accepted in prescriptive grammars in the future were it not for the fact that English language pedants are pretty uptight and even make up nonsense rules all by themselves just to feel smart and relevant.

Maybe that's the solution to abortion in the future - if a woman don't want to carry the child to term, transplant it out and let it develop in an artificial womb.


I'm sure all the Christians that hate abortion will be completely fine with paying for all this and adopting all the unwanted babies, after all they already advocate adoption for current unwanted children.

I'm not sure if I get your question since this comic and it's awesome logic are pretty standard arguments within pro-life circles. Adam is just parroting what he's heard and been duly impressed by because it just sounds so right and moral ya know? It's also a core part of pro-life ideology to ignore the person actually carrying the precious fetus in their bodies, supporting it with their own blood and organs. Abortion as a moral wrong only makes sense if you thing fetus >born human, since the inherent nature of pregnancy is a trespass on one person's body by another. So pregnant people/women seeking abortion are just sluts dodging responsibility (and/or god's plan if you're a real die-hard like Adam), or children being duped by big bad PP, or non-existent as the case is all those fetus in the void cartoons.

Because it gives him an out on having to care about all the people that die or get killed everyday. Fetuses are sinless blobs of possibility that it's easy to throw your unequivocal support behind, unlike born people who might have done bad things thus inviting moral complexity into the question of helping them.

It justifies ending the trespass if it's unwanted, death is just a side effect. But really this isn't about good faith moral discussion; it about hypocrisy. The common wisdom in the US is that organ donation must be voluntary to be ethical, but you don't see pro-lifers raising a hue and cry over all the lives lost to selfish people dodging a responsibility in that context. They don't care about preserving lives just like they don't care about what pregnancy really is and the burden it constitutes.They just want to feel like defenders of the innocent with as little work or moral comical ion as possible.
