Inanity on parade.
What if you didn't abort a fetus and he turned out to be the guy you created the Villians thread about? Hopefully you can realize how ridiculous your exceptional person counterfactual argument is.
You are quoting me out of context. If you quoted the entire post instead of cherry picked portions, you will see I was making a point that future results do not dictate the morality of the act. That sentence was just an example.
Not an honest tactic.....I'm a little surprised Cato....your better than this.

Thankfully not, in most places abortions are not illegal. But pro-lifers, want to make it illegal don't they? This would result in zygotes being granted more rights than an adult human.
No it would not. If a fetus has the same rights as you....it has the same rights as you. There is no magical property of rights that causes them to multiply if they are possessed by a fetus. Your claim is nonsense.
