This woman is actually on the faculty of the Philosophy Dept. ant Princeton University.
Think about that. Even disregarding the abortion issue entirely, this passes for logic at a major university. She is teaching others ... not just her views on abortion, but how to non-think like her.
Beyond depressing ... major doomage
She is a scary...um....individual.
I am not sure she has achieved “moral status” even now.
There is no difference between murder of the unborn, and the murder of the aged.
They are both actions of State, bent on regulating the numbered populace, and the populace that can support the State. Neither the unborn nor the aged can serve the State, therefore, they are the most likely, and explained with great ‘compassion’, “for the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one”.
So my comment has nothing to do with abortion. I think you could search my posting history to find my thoughts on that but suffice it to say I am pro life without exception.
Here is my response to your comment: I firmly believe the intentional dumbing down of the public school system and resulting Common Core Standards have been specifically designed to do exactly what you say: teach citizens NOT to apply any logic. If you compare the current curricula to that of the past when a classical education model was in place, people had been taught HOW to think versus our current day education system which teaches WHAT to think. Furthermore, math is logic. The goofy ass Common Core methods of doing math have reduced and eliminated any logic from being introduced to students. When this current generation grows up we’re in big time trouble. Think things are bad now? Just wait.
I agree. No logic at all.
I’m pro-life as well, but this illogic goes well beyond the abortion issue. Essentially she is saying that we can destroy anything, or prevent anything from happening, and then say it was never meant to be anyway because our actions preventing a future thing or event.
We could, for example, cut down an entire rainforest and then say it was not never meant to continue to exist because we decided to make it not exist.
