You can't expect anything from a society that has normalized abortion.
Murders are always murders.
True. It is strange. I occasionally come across people who articulate that they:
1) support abortion aka a parent* and doctor* chopping off parts of a child in utero en route to destroying the child’s life. All sanctioned by the state and often paid for by the state.
2) oppose transgenderism on minors aka a parent and doctor chopping off parts of a child ex utero en route to destroying the child’s life. All sanctioned by the state and often paid for by the state.
These same people do believe that they themselves do not undergo a substantial change when they change place, say merely walk 3 feet to the left or change in time, say age 3 months.
And yet, without articulating it, they must believe a child undergoes substantial change (so profound that it goes from mere stuff into personhood) not at conception but rather during the slide out the birth canal. How that slide, a mere change in place, how that slide confers such tremendous magic is never questioned. No one ever even seems curious what other trans-substantiations occur or could occur by means of transit through this powerful canal.
They act as through the physics that occurs in what appears to be merely a change in place are so miraculously transformative as to be responsible for all personhood throughout all history and yet nary a physicists seems to be interested in this miracle.
