Good stuff. Thanks for posting.
How do you know it's good stuff? You've already stated you don't have the remotest idea who Sean Carroll is, so you are in no position to evaluate a critique of his life's work.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

God wills it! Unless she may be an adulteress..then he recommends abortion as a test of her marital fealty.
True i love all righteous Christians trumpeting their supposed moral superiority . But will the majority of them roll up there sleeves and anything piratical on the issue of abortion . Nope it's much easier to be righteous and angry .

Yeah, but not by remaining inside their mother's body. That would be even more hell for the mother.
Um a baby is much more work and stress and demand outside the body than inside of it...

Yeah, thats my point. You claimed that a baby is "more hell for the mother" inside the body than outside of it. This is far from the truth.

I would imagine having a fully formed toddler living inside you would be more work then one outside. In fact it would probably be fatal.

Who the heck said anything about a toddler inside the body? They come out at 9 months gestation. And those 9 months are much less demanding than the years that are to follow.

The anger is understandable. Deep sixing our horrid abortion laws and pursuing a different path -actually- led to all of the things they sold as a bill of goods for the benefits keeping abortion illegal. Not only was their brand stolen, the usurpers did it better...and the same is true of moral realism in the 21st century.
Except for that whole being right in the sight of the lord business, which is the important part....unfortunately this is not relevant to a secular countries laws nor would a secular countries laws make them somehow morally or religiously complicit to whatever it is they think fairies object to.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Going back to the not-absurd scenarios, perhaps not for you. But every woman feels differently about having a [not-yet-born] baby in their own body. You don't mind, and that's great. You live you, and if you ever still want a baby, then I hope it happens for you.
