In a world where we maximize virtue, act potency and cuteness may all be moot. There's only one question for us to consider. How many women we'll be chaining to gurneys and forcing to give birth.
If we decide that we have to prevent abortions in order to maximize virtue - that number will be high, and doing so must be part of virtue no matter what arguments are used to put it forward any position on babbies.
It's the same with killing animals. If we decide that we have to stop killing animals to maximize moral virtue we will have condemned a significant number of animals (including human animals) to death.
OFC, I don't think that act and potency -or- cuteness are moral arguments, nor do I believe that it's impossible to be an ethical omnivore.... but we're running with it.
