    It’s almost like the decision to make the lives of actual people less important has consequences.

    Opinions on abortion are strong indicators of psychopathy. Nobody against legal abortion has a functional moral sense. Some are just incredibly morally stupid. Others are religious zombies. But they’re all dangerous and fundamentally animalistic. We can coexist with these creatures, obviously — we already do. But the widespread delusion that they’re just like us has been incredibly dangerous and possibly world-ending. It’s no coincidence they’re the same “people” who support pollution and celebrate ecological depredation.

      Out of pure curiosity, is your statement linking abortion opinions and psychopathy based on any studies you can link?

        I’m not sure if that research’s been done, but it would be highly surprising if psychopaths were not the ones in favor of limiting women’s reproductive freedom.

        What I can tell you is that abortion rights are an “easy” moral issue. Every year or two there’s a survey among professional philosophers, who of course disagree on basically everything. However, the item with the most consensus is abortion. That’s because there are simply no good arguments against abortion rights. The only reason someone might be against reproductive freedom is… well… moral imbecility.

        My guess is that in the next few decades, research will show that moral reasoning exists on a spectrum of competence. That some people are so bad at it that it’s pathological, and that some percentage of these people are also narcissistic enough to be called “psychopaths.” It’s a disorder; it’s on a spectrum, and anti-abortion zealots are on that spectrum.

    I’m a practicing Christian. I also believe in abortion and birth control like I personally invented them. I worked with a gyne who performed them and it’s such a nothing of a procedure. Every pathology report said the same thing “spongy hemorrhagic tissue with no fetal parts”. The fuss is literally over a tiny bit of tissue.

    Nobody should have to be pregnant if they don’t want to, ever.
