    In my experience, pro-choice arguers don't address fetal personhood at all, and simply respond to the cries of "but you're killing BAYBIES" with "a woman has a right to choose"

    Which is just saying they can kill "babies" which is incredibly unconvincing... like, that's what murder is. It's choosing to kill a person

      Ah right, yea I haven't really ever met a "pro-life" person tbf. But agreed, that's an unconvincing line of argument given you're basically accepting their premise.

      Interesting how this ties into vaccine mandates. People that are anti-abortion are almost certainly anti-mandate, because it violates their autonomy, even though it saves the lives of others around them and themselves. Kind of the opposite of their notion of abortion, but I suppose pointing out the hypocrisy of reactionaries is just wasted breath.
