Will You Vote Ron Paul/LP If This Elects Obama?

Welcome to the forums and I hope you stick around enough to get used to all the terminology around here! (Subjective Value theory, utility maximization, Say’s law, ABCT, natural rights, argumentation ethics, calculation problem, natural monopolies, PDAs, AnCap, minarchy, etc)

The abortion debate has raged on this forum before. If you’d like, check it out:

I used to be pro-life until I realized that the reason it’s fine to kill pigs but not humans is sentience, not “being alive.” We value human life because we’re sentient. The fetus is at all times alive but not always sentient. Hence, killing a non-sentient fetus is like killing a liver that is just randomly living.

Before sentience, the fetus is simply property. I know, it sounds extremely cruel, but it boils down to that. Otherwise, I have some very popularly-appealing pro-life arguments which are wrong :slight_smile:
