Abortion and Global warming

[Esquilax]

This isn't a thread about the morality, necessity, or virtues of abortion. This is a thread about consistency. If future generations have a right to a clean and livable world then future generations have rights. This implies that future people have rights....including the right to exist. The right of a future person to exist contradicts a woman's right to an abortion.

If you want to go there, you'll have to demonstrate, and not merely assert, that a fetus is a "future person." Given that miscarriages, mishaps and abortions do happen, the absolute best you could hope to consistently justify merely by your assertion is that a fetus can either be a "future person" or a dead fetus, which is exactly what the pro-choice side believe too.

But that doesn't entail the conclusion you've reached, unless you do some more work to demonstrate that a fetus is always a person.
