They don't recruit, that's dumb.
They don't murder anybody according to law, and only a small fraction of abortions take place after 12 weeks, which is pretty much the minimum possible amount of time that science estimates a fetus develops the ability to have a functioning nervous system. So in my view, very few "murders" actually happen.
I answered you. Now you answer me
You claim the operation of the nervous system is a defining point. Well what difference does that make when the unborn lack
autonoetic consciousness and
episodic memory which they do not acquire until long after birth. It goes back to a variation of an old analogy "if pain is registered and there is
little to no brain to perceive it, does the pain really exist?" Using this construct, infanticide should be allowed for infants whose brains are
severely damaged.
Infants born with anencephaly are a gold mine for PP. One boy of this type lived until he was two years old or so. Imagine all the harvesting that could be carried out in that period. Imagine all the money that could be generated to fund humanitarian causes.
In the Roman Empire people used to abort the unborn, or they would wait until they were born and then drop them in a special dump site outside the city limits. The earliest Christians wrote against this practice and against abortion. Not only did they oppose it they got in trouble for disobeying the State law and rescuing infants who had been exposed in this manner .
Do you think the thinkers and materialistic philosophers of that day opposed practices? Oh no, they were too busy pontificating about the qualities of living a virtuous life to worry about a person's right to life itself. Few religions placed a value on life for its own sake either. As today, the average person did what was convenient for their lifestyle.
You can quote the law but what is the "law" anymore but the opinions of a few judges who rule according to their personal intuition and whim. There is nothing in the constitution about the operation of the nervous system being the boundary for when we begin to honor the unborn as living human beings who are deserving of life.
