Now apply that to this statement, also yours.
Quote:the situation of hooking someone up is something that comes after and implies a number of risks, a regular pregnancy with no significant risks is not endangering life and only occupies the body for 9 months.
Can you see how they aren't actually different in the way that you conceptualized them here?
Sure, there are risks for both, but my law distinguishes clearly between doing something and not doing something, that was my point. Omission and positive action are different, even if the result is the same, murder by omission and qualified murder both result in death and pose risks, even though they are different and punished differently. I didn't say in terms of risks they were different, even though they are... carrying a child for 9 months may be difficult but it's a lot different than being plugged to a 2 year old for the rest of your life, and don't even try to compare both. I'd rather carry something in my testicles for 9 months than being plugged to another being for my whole life. And my point of abortion being considered illegal if a fetus was a person still stands. But fair enough, kudos to you.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
