Obviously. Because in order to defend it, you have to defend the idea—whether you realize it or not—that only people who are strong enough to defend themselves have rights as people. All that babble about power imbalances is rendered as unserious, because the most powerless people on Earth are the unborn, and the infants they will become.
Prenatal testing as a regime heads toward genocide. “Death with dignity” will start voluntarily, and become involuntary. If the government controls health care, they will tell you if you live, or if you die. You can easily say Big Insurance already does this, and I won’t argue the point. But the lot of you have no idea what “medically necessary” means.
Some of you have trauma keeping you from seeing the numbers on elective abortion. I’ll grant a full one percent to various disasters that may arise. I know it’s not even that high. But if 99 percent of something is indefensible, you don’t cling to the one percent, unless you’re nuts. And the solution to trauma is to work through it, not demand everyone else cater to its whims (and bad math).
