If every woman on the planet- even the pro-forcing women to remain pregnant (see, I can unfairly alter language too, Mr. Pro-abortion ) for some reason- chooses to have abortions we'd die out, therefore it's hypocritical to be pro-choice and pro-environment, eh?
Well, if the entire next two generations of people were exclusively women or exclusively men then we'd die out too. Therefore, being a man or a woman is inconsistent with a pro-environment stance. Hey, the possibility of it happening isn't zero!
See, Heywood? I can formulate stupid, nigh-impossible fantasies to reach for distant, idiotic positions too.
They are thought experiments designed to make a point.
Being a man or being a woman is a matter of happenstance. Terminating a pregnancy is a decision....a matter of mind. Your attempt a thought experiment fails miserably in making your point.
