Am I going to drop my uninformed hot take? Hmm, yeah.
I always found the "well fetuses aren't really alive, so that makes abortion okay" argument very weird, while being completely pro-choice myself. I think, in my opinion they're at least somewhat alive. They're not fully grown humans, no. But there are life forms less complex that we do consider alive. Basically this argument hinges on the premise that a fetus shouldn't be considered alive for abortion to be okay. Which I think is bullshit. Anyway, not that this will ever affect me. thank fuck.
tl;dr: I don't care if a fetus is technically alive for abortion to be okay.
Honestly, I think that one issue pro life voters are what they are because the issue is a bit of a philosophical gridlock, which lets them launder in a hundred other far less defensible opinions into their political behavior. I know a girl who claims to be a pro life voter, but then also happens to be a right-leaning on virtually every other issue, by complete chance. It's just easier to be that than to be an open republican in certain circles.
This is all to say that you aren't going to defeat the pro-life faction through philosophy, you destroy them by destroying the right wing as a whole.

Then we research how we can extract crude oil from it.
That's what "baby oil" is, right?
