no, its not. human is human. with your logic i could value liberal lives less… it is after all subjective and conditional. (except its not, there is only one condition that matters… human, and that’s not conditional)

Once you add a condition…ANY condition…moral absolutism is dead.
You have no objective leg to stand on once you admit there is any type of conditional morality.
Because others can…and will…come to different conclusions.
And you do value some human lives less than others.
All human beings do without exception.
Just need to put the right “conditions” into place to see that.

Never suffering vs stupid suffering is an easy chouce, esp if you are in a position to do so.
For yourself? Or for someone else?
Who are we to decide that on another human?

A fetus isn’t a someone else; it’s not a person.
As for who we are to decide: with the exception of very, very observant Jains, we’re all always doing it.

Yeah, I bet you were outraged when Pelosi, after all her talk about masks, broke her own local regulations and went to a hairdresser that should not have been open.
I don’t like hypocrisy either.
On the other hand, you can support something being illegal for various reasons, but if it is not made illegal you do not have to pretend it is. You may want a green light to mean stop. That doesn’t mean you are ethically bound to stop on green if your law doesn’t get passed.
more complete ■■■■■■■■ from you. others can come to any wrong conclusion they like. i value all human life the same, which is not much, but still more than other life. And, enough to know it shouldn’t be snuffed out arbitrarily. do i value the lives of people i know and love more than those i don’t? of course i do, but valuing lives and valuing life is not the same thing. 210K people have died from covid, i don’t know any of them. does that effect me? no more than when anyone else i don’t know dies, which is not much.
People having 10 children that can’t be cared for.
Duh.
It was a response to your post.

So, maybe (a) go back and read to what you’re responding and (b) no sterilization.

And there you have it folks … rationalizing killing by defining the victims as less than human. Where have we heard that before?

Nope. You cannot murder a non-person. That is fact, not advocacy.

Most likely. Was it fetuses or embryos though? There was confusion about that earlier.
