Still confused, and it sounds like you’re being purposefully vague.

Be more specific:

Should the person go to jail? Yes or no.

Are you for or against a woman’s ability to have an abortion? For or against

I'm actually not being purposely vague, you can tell pretty easily. The fact is that it doesn't matter, so long as the actual criticism is valid.

"Should the person go to jail"- legally, of course.

Practically, probably not. Even though it was a clearly premeditated action, people are simply more sympathetic to certain types of people. This is why people will save their friends before strangers, it is not a question of morality that determines if your friends are more valuable, it's purely psychology. Likewise people are more concerned about the person they see complaining about a minor inconvenience than the death toll of a famine. People will always fall for a victimisation narrative (everyone on this post is doing just that) so long as the "victim" is more appealing to them. Adult humans are just simply more appealing than fetuses, so incidents like these serve to whip up a frenzy despite the fact that virtually everyone agrees with the moral arguments against late-term abortion. (The majority of people openly oppose it, and those that don't probably agree with a formal description of the argument, and just want to white knight).

"For or against a woman's ability to have an abortion"

Nobody has any right to take conscious action to deprive others of future conscious experience, so long as it does not deprive themselves of future conscious experience. This is a fairly succinct claim that addresses the permissibility of killing the temporarily comatose, the suicidal, and individuals with ambiguous self-worth. (None of it is permissible, and consequently neither is abortion of a healthy fetus).

Got it. I don’t agree. Goodnight.

Of course you don't agree, would I have said a word if you did?

Unlike you I find no utility in circle jerking over something I already believe with a group of other dishonest morons.

Good thing you’re a minority. 🤪
