You pro-aborts are sounding very irrational on this.

If you call "thinking" being irrational.

Burning building - you can carry out an unconscious 10 year old girl, or a cooler full of 10,000 frozen embryos, but not both. Which do you pick?

Most of this kind of quibble has to do with triage situations, which are well understood.

There you go again.

“Thinking” doesn’t mean coming up with the most implausible and extreme scenarios to justify your position.

You should just come out and say it. You are in favor of any mother (assuming they aren’t being pressured by a man or “doctor” at the clinic) being able to kill her “unborn” (which Peter Singer and your other friends would assail as a horrible limitation itself, they want to be able to abort AFTER birth too) baby at any time for any reason.

**************************************************************

I don’t get the point you’re trying to make here. First, a frozen embryo has not been fertilized by male sperm, so it’s not the same thing as a pregnancy. Second, you could just as easily ask the question:

“Burning building - you can carry out an unconscious 10 year old girl, or an unconscious 1-year-old baby boy, but not both.”

So let’s just say I were to rescue the 1-year-old infant boy in this situation because he happened to be the most accessible. Since I can’t rescue both children, does this mean I value the lives of 10-year-olds or girls any less???
