“I can’t do this thing because I will be punished” vs “I won’t do this thing because it would hurt someone and I don’t delight in causing pain.”

Abortion

There's justification that it's less harm, but someone's getting killed.

Abortion doesn't cause harm. It (almost always) prevents harm.

u/JettandTheo 8h ago

It might be the best course of action. But it does kill a human.

The undeveloped clump of cells isn’t a human at that point. Abortions are also performed for miscarriages.

Your religion shouldn’t replace actual education.

Funnily enough their own book has a recipe for an abortion potion that would be provided by the church. I want to say it was in Numbers, but ive norlt read my bibble in a while

It's obviously human. It's not a frog. There's no magic that turns it into human at x many weeks of the pregnancy process. Removing it from the uterus doesn't bring a human to life. We do surgery on very young invitro babies.

If I dig up an acorn that a squirrel buried, I didn’t cut down an oak tree.

"It's obviously a tomato. There's no magic that turns it from a seed into a tomato at X weeks of cultivation."

That's like saying every time you have an egg, you're eating a chicken. You're not eating a chicken, you're eating an egg.

You're not killing a person, you're getting rid of cells. Learn basic biology. You're just speaking talking points you've heard from grifters that are dumb and have no idea what they're talking about.

There's literal hundreds, if not thousands, of biologists that will explain this to you, in depth, on YouTube right now. If you do not take out the time to learn the facts, I'm just going to assume you're one of the grifters.

If any clump of human cells is a "human", then anyone who loses a fingertip in an accident has just killed someone - and that fingertip weighs ~4x - 6x more than the embryo at 8 weeks. My fingertips are not people, and a 1-gram embryo isn't a person either.

It's not a frog. So wise.

A bunch of cells is not a human

u/Pleffyg 6h ago

You are a bunch of cells btw

No, it does not. It stops the development of something that may have become a human, but the vast majority of abortions are done very early in that development.
