You can say this about Roe v. Wade: it is far more humane than many of our philosophers and ethicists.

There's absolutely nothing humane about slicing a baby into tiny bits, regardless of where it is in it's development.

The extrapolation of that opinion is horrifying.

There's absolutely nothing humane about slicing a baby into tiny bits, regardless of where it is in it's development.

You missed my point. With regard to the issue of when life begins, Roe is more humane than the Singer or Pinker school of thought; the post-Roe orthodoxy is that live birth is necessary for personhood, as in this case. The philosophers and pseudoethicists suggest that personhood may come about later than that. I would think it's not that far of a leap to suggest that full-blown infanticide would become a reality.

Do you see now?
