That depends on how you define a human, and there’s the entirely separate issue of whether it being human or not should be the deciding factor. For example, a braindead human is still human but killing them is quite different from killing a healthy human. Oversimplifying the issue helps nobody.
I agree with your view, I’m not trying to simplify, I think most pro choice people don’t want to think of the moral dilemma that abortion is, whether you’re in favor or against its legalization it is a complex matter and pretending the other side of this debate is evil or dumb helps no one, each side has it’s points and both opinions are completely logical and acceptable imo.
It’s like this with any contriversial issue: most people adopt a manicheist stance, regardless of which side they’re on. This is why I think it’s important to always remember that if these issues weren’t nuanced, they wouldn’t be so controversial among so many different sectors of society.
Still human (and I’m pro choice)
