Which means that even if we feel a visceral outrage toward what these hospitals were doing, there was nothing actually wrong with it, if we accept the pro-choice premise that the unborn don't have any rights.Clinton Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018335374680419858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-77499990301518770492014-03-25T19:14:43.881-07:002014-03-25T19:14:43.881-07:00"the outrage regarding this says a lot about ..."the outrage regarding this says a lot about what people really know, deep down, about the personhood of the unborn"<br /><br />I wish that were true. It's a false dilemma to say that the unborn must either be a person or have no value at all. A deceased dog certainly isn't a person, and people would have problems if dogs were being used to heat the building. So just because people are upset about the unborn being used as fuel, does not mean that they regard the unborn as persons. I've found that on the scale of valuable life, most people regard the unborn's value as something south of a dog's life, but north of a gerbil's. If a woman were to kill a neighbor's dog, most people would want nothing to do with her, and would have no trouble sending her to jail. Contrast that to how we react when a woman has an abortion.

People will say that the unborn aren't human. They say that they are just a clump of cells or tissue. But we know better. We don't want their dead bodies treated like other refuse because we know they aren't just trash. This cognitive dissonance - where we rationalize abortion and yet instinctively react to this news with outrage - is very telling.<br /><br />http://therationalabolitionist.blogspot.com/2014/03/15000-aborted-babies-incinerated-to.htmlDouglas Haroldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02810627575214076015noreply@blogger.com
